    Looking for recommendations for best private hospital for a quick visit, in Palermo.

    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...

    Looking for recommendations for best private hospital for a quick visit, in Palermo.

    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.

    Looking for recommendations for best private hospital for a quick visit, in Palermo.

    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...

    Comparsion of supermarket prices Montevideo vs BA

    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...

    Comparsion of supermarket prices Montevideo vs BA

    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...

    Comparsion of supermarket prices Montevideo vs BA

    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...

    Comparsion of supermarket prices Montevideo vs BA

    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...

    Comparsion of supermarket prices Montevideo vs BA

    Most Canadians are too polite to refute such utter nonsense made by our Yankee neighbours to the south. No one in Canada puts their wealth or house at risk if their health is at risk. But I am off topic (grocery prices compared between here and Montevideo), so I'll keep my rebuttal short. And as...

    Western Union money transfer

    We commonly use that expression in Canada. Without a UK accent and despite using dollars and cents as our coinage.

    Western Union money transfer

    WU just posted its new rate at 1020. I transferred money just now for the payment of my expenses and ABL this month.

    Milei legalizes blue dollar trading

    Does that mean you are against legalization of Cuevas? You would continue to prefer to exchange your US dollars in an illegal manner according to Argentine law?

    Traditional UK/Canadian Christmas pudding or mince pies?

    Thank you Sergio. I just attended the bakery and they had the cake in question and it does look very much like a traditional English Christmas pudding. And it's an excellent looking bakery. Now I just need to make the rum sauce. Thank you so much for your recommendation.
