    Reciprocity Fee....b4 You Fly?

    I came back from Uruguay on Buquebus a few weeks ago and they wanted to see proof of payment before letting me on the boat. (I have one of the older stickers stapled into my passport, which was fine.) I also recall somebody posting somewhere on here about a month ago that he/she was turned...

    Museum Walks, Sat/sun, In A Small Group

    I'd be interested in joining, particularly on Sunday. I'll keep an eye out for the schedule. Keep in mind that, weather-wise, Saturday doesn't look too promising. http://www.weather.com/weather/weekend/Buenos+Aires+ARBA0009:1:AR

    Power Shortage Anyone?

    I used to live close to El Cemeterio de Recoleta and never experienced an outage there. I've been in Soho for four months, and the only outage I've experienced lasted about an hour, between 2 and 3 am, about two months ago.

    Equivalent Of Tums

    Is there a reason you are looking for a Tums equivalent instead of Tums? Like vtw said, it's sold here. I've been buying Tums from a few different Farmacities here for a few years.

    Superbowl Anyone?

    The game is on Sunday, February 3 at 8:30 pm ART. It will be on at CasaBar in Recoleta (my favorite). I'm certain that it will also be on at Sugar (Palermo) and El Alamo (both Recoleta and Palermo locations).

    Expat Looting - Let's Make Plans!

    I was going to be in, but the KFC at Alto Palermo isn't open yet, so nevermind.

    The third is CasaBar at Rodriguez Peña y Santa Fe. I prefer CasaBar to El Alamo for the NFL. I haven't watched football at Sugar Bar, but with only two screens, I don't imagine it can show nearly as many games as the other two.

    Suicide And The Afterlife

    According to Beetlejuice, people who commit suicide are public servants in the afterlife. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vi52_qprBT0

    Premier League Fans

    I've gone to Gibraltar in San Telmo (Peru and Estados Unidos, I believe) to watch PL matches, but it doesn't open until noon, so you can't see the early matches. There's only one television, it's kind of small, in the corner of the front room and there's not a ton of sitting room, but if you...

    I'll be heading over around 11. Hopefully, we'll know the results before daylight.

    Election Night Coverage

    I saw on Craigslist that Sugar Bar, indeed, will be showing election results: http://buenosaires.en.craigslist.org/com/3382897768.html That's probably where I'll be since I live around the corner and the thing might not be decided until daylight since daylight savings time ends this weekend...

    ISO Wireless Router

    My wireless router died and I need to replace it. Before I go out and buy something new, I wanted to see if anybody out there might have a spare that they are willing to let go at second-hand prices. Feel free to post a response here or send me a PM. Thanks in advance.

    Searches at airport?

    I flew in from Newark this morning. Lines were long at customs but my line moved quickly. I had some electronics in my bags and put them through the x-ray. The official didn't even look at my customs declaration form, he just stuck in a pile with about a hundred others, and nobody said a word...
