Add me to the list of people who wish their parents had forced them to learn their native languages AND CULTURE while growing up. If I had to choose only one language to speak it would be English, but man, I SO wish I was fluent in Spanish, French, and Vietnamese. I'm studying Spanish now and...

As of January 2011, the price was $160 (USD). And the previous poster is correct, it depends on where you are from. Some nationalities have to wait and jump through hoops while others zip right through. The price also depends on nationality. An Aussi I know had to have everything the website...

I will see how much to repair. I was told at a repair shop at Galeria Jardín I won't find a generic in AR that will fit an HP. I think that's what he said lol

yes please, Richard. thank you. i will go there if Galeria Jardin doesnt pan out for me.

Actually they do sell these here, that are like what you'd expect (including Chapstick brand) just a bit more expensive. Very useful thread ...

I don't think you're making the right comparison. It's a game of "which one of these is most like the other." If we stick to English (and all the other languages, even Portuguese) Asian means being from the continent of Asia, European from Europe, etc. So an Argentine is South American and a...

Thanks Guille! Can you tell us the networks of your TD debit/ATM cards? They would be listed (their logos) on the back of the cards. Even if your own bank's limit on withdrawals is $1000 USD, you cannot get that much out on a Banelco ATM - which is most of them in this city I've noticed.

Hi all, I've read all the posts in this thread and haven't really figured my situation out. Basically, my friends can use their debit cards up to their limits on Citibank's ATMs. But I can't use my debit/ATM cards at all. They have Canadian and American accounts and mine is an American bank...
