And why don't all of you who who are so sure what is going to happen go back to the US and do somethign about it? The more you sit on your butts and complain, the less credibility your arguements have. I wish that most of the expats here would post about things about Argentina. Isn't that the...

It's been a few years since I've lived here, but what's the differece b/t three to one and three to one-thirty? Please don't answer with the usual "blah, blah, blah, dumbass" stuff that (used to) dominate[s] this forum.

Hey. I know how overwhelming it can be at first. I moved here with LOTS of in-laws waiting and it's still hard to get used to. I lived in Culver City (Overland & Venice) for a year. Send me a note if you have any questions. -Taylor

It's not like I was ever a heralded poster here, but I'm glad to be back. I grew up near Houston. After college I moved to California. Once I felt like I was a decent enough surfer, I moved to Colorado. My skiing is, for lack of a stronger adjective, gnarlier than my surfing. Whatever. The point...

I hope all you hashers had fun!!! For anyone who doesn't know, this is great. I was in Guyana for an extended peroid (blaghhhh). Hashing was a great diversion. Since hashing in Guyana was as fun as it was, then hashing in BsAs must be spectacular. I wonder if Banks is better than...

My daughter was born in Argentina a few years ago. All we had to do was fill out one form and pay a fee. It was very easy. Just go to the embassy. Living in the US is not so bad. Truth be told, I feel safer in the US than Argentina.

well Sergio, sorry. i was only relaying MY experience in Argentina.

I´m from Texas. My wife is from here. I recently lived in Acasusso and Beccar for about a year. Right now I´m spending the holidays in Acasusso with my Argentinian family. I´m 26 and have 7 cuñados. I am friends with all of them. I go out with each and every one of them and have made...

I'm not as impressed with Kansas as everyone else is. My wife grew up 3 blocks away in Acasusso and loves it. I don't see what is so great....it's okay but nothing to write home about. All I need to be happy is a good morcilla (sp?), provoleta, and matambrito de cerdo. You can get that anywhere.

Does anyone know the rules for taking food into the US? All I want to take is a suitcase full of dulce de leche and vauquitas. Those two things will not cause any problems, right?

you guys might want to try el rio libro, about 2 blocks west of the san lucas hospital in san isidro. the used books in english are CHEAP plus you can trade them in and pay half for your next......I have not seen one for more than 12 pesos.....

There is a very nice hostel, Te Adoro Garcia, on Soldado de Independiencia and Teodoro Garcia in Belgrano/Las Cañitas. It only costs 30 pesos per day, and the owner works hard to keep out the rif-raf. Staying there while looking for an apartment would save you tons of money. My wife and I...

There is a Ray vs Jorge rematch on sublimedirectory.com/fights. I havnt watched yet, but shoud be good....

Most of you will probably read the first sentence of this post and move on. Anyway, MMA (mixed martial arts) is gaining in popularity. There is this guy on the internet, KIMBO, who bare knuckle fights with people......and, all except for once, totally destroys them. Well, him and Ray Mecer, a...

One of my sisters-in-law has a boat stored in Tigre. It´s a medium sized ski boat. A few Saturdays ago we took a 1.5 hour boat ride to her house/cabin on one of the islands in the delta. I felt like we were lost in a maze of rivers running through 100s of small islands. I´ve never been to...
