Does anyone know of any stores that might sell mango chutney, or similar such salsas. This is in preparation for Christmas dinner. This forum provided me some good suggestions for places where I might find the equivalent of UK Christmas cake, which were quite good last year. Thanks in advance.

Especially since this happened last night:

Thank you for sharing this. I return in exactly one month for my summer sojourn. I really appreciate it as I plan to get out of the capital for some time. Hope all are well.

I'm not in Buenos Aires right now (I come during summer months) or I would gladly go for a coffee. In my experience, the Tues. coffee chats are a good way to meet other people. Long term expats and recent arrivals have all attended and I've made some good connections. Good luck. And if I see you...

Hello and Welcome. I note that you are a new member. This link will provide you with a guide to concerts (including free concerts) in Buenos Aires: https://baexpats.org/posts/447172/ It is posted by the member Jatango (I hope I have spelled that correctly). If you do a quick search of threads...

Yes exactly that pharmacy. Thank you very much for the recommendation. I should have specified that it was exactly the pharmacy you recommended. They are very helpful and kind.

Thank you to everyone for your recommendations. And particularly for the recommendation for that specific pharmacy. They were able to refill my prescription with me simply showing the old prescription bottle, and gave me a 2-week supply which more than covers the remainder of my stay here. And...

Thanks all for your replies. Most appreciated.

I've already tried that. No pharmacy will give me an antibiotic that is for an msra resistant strain without a prescription. But thanks for the suggestion. Is the Hospital Aleman private and reasonably fast? I thought it was public, and speed is my most important issue here. But if they're...

I should add, that it doesn't have to be in Palermo. As long as it's a reasonable distance via say Uber from Palermo, I'm happy to go to any other barrio in the vicinity of Palermo. Thank you.

There was a thread that was quite dated recommending La Trinidad, but it was from 2011. I did go there once probably 2014 or 2015, and my experience was good. I saw a doctor quickly and they dealt with the matter. More recently since I bought an apartment in Palermo Hollywood, I've been going to...

I take my share of the blame and perhaps I overreacted to what I perceived as rude comments and generalizations about my home country. Maybe in particular because it was from a person that I recognize from being from my own community, (LGBTQ). When asking questions and/ or advice or providing...

I disagree with you. I've deliberately refrained from commenting and making broad generalizations, unless directly addressing points raised by the prior poster. I do take it exception with people making patronizing comments about my own country. As I'm sure you would with respect to your own...

Obviously I can only speak for myself, and you can only speak for yourself. You raise some fair points about the notwithstanding clause but we can agree to disagree on many. This Canadian notes that this US citizen with some connection to Canada, and a better knowledge than most US citizens...

You conclude with a straw man argument. I never raised the level of tolerance/acceptance in BA vis a vis Canada. Your observations are your generalizations stated from your own personal experience. You should make that clear. I have lived in Toronto as well as suburban and rural parts of two...
