Buy one in Colombia.

As already mentioned, Solo Cine is a great shop to pick up some dvd's, especially if you're in the market for something foreign. There's a few other shops in that area with some not so bad selections. The streets in Pelermo and Recoleta as well as other neighbourhoods are littered with folks...

Yes! You are officially my favourite person ever. That is exactly what I was looking for.

Hey, while were on the topic of mate, I have a question for any of those who may be in the knowing. I'm in the market for a more modernish looking gourd but i have yet to find anything worthy of a purchase. The other day I saw a woman drinking out of the greatest little bright orange gourd. It...

What the fuck is with #6 "6. Children's Performer -- Dress up as a lobster and chase my super-sweet, lobster-obsessed and -fixated son around the house until he freaks out and begs you to stop even though he kept pleading with you to do it in the first place. Extra bonus: If you love looking at...

I think more than anything it was just interesting to see how much the locals are so unaffected and accustomed to crime and theft in this city.

I was walking through Abasto not that long ago and some guys on a bike pulled right up to the window of a car about a metre away from me and smashed in the window and pulled the stereo right out of the dashboard. It was broad day light and there were a number of people on the street. Nobody even...

Oh really? Their website says they are open from 12pm to 3pm. Well maybe I'll go for dinner instead.

I think I'm going to stop by there tomorrow for lunch and give their ceviche a try. I'm a ceviche virgin, so I'm pretty stoked. How I haven't it tried it yet I don't know, I'm in Lima quite often. Which of their two ceviches do you recommend, the ceviche de mero or the ceviche mixto?

Yeah, they sell it in the markets and the coca shops in Cusco. It comes in a couple of different forms. There's the "black gooey stuff" as I had mentioned before that is sweetened and I believe it is called llipta(I think that's how it is spelled) and it's from Bolivia. There is also a much...

Good to hear. They are a top notch airline.

Coca leaves can be pretty potent. When I was in Cusco I had the opportunity to chew some leaves with some of the locals and they chew the leaves with a little pinch of this black gooey stuff that activates the alkaloids in the coca. It gives you a a pretty good buzz and will make your mouth...

I love coca tea. The best is fresh brewed loose leaf coca leaves. Isn't it illegal to sell in Argentina though? I might have to go pick up a box of the stuff.

I am looking to find a shop in the city with a good selection of DVD's for sale. Somewhere with a good selection of foreign films would be ideal. I know when I was in Brazil and Mexico the bookstores had some of the best selections to choose from. I'm not sure if it's like that in BA, but any...

I used FedEx a couple weeks ago for the first time here in Buenos Aires. They were really great, I will definitely be using them again in the future. I went to the location in centro, I believe it was a couple blocks off Plaza de Mayo. The guy behind the counter was super helpful and spoke great...
