    Where To Take Passport Photos Close To Migraciones?

    There is usually a guy there that will take your photo with a backdrop out front (and print them out on the spot). Ask a security guard who he is. (similar operation to the guy who does this in front of the US embassy)

    Places To Stay In Bariloche, El Bolson, Etc.

    I realize this doesn't answer your question as this hotel is closed in the winter, but I highly recommend Hotel Tronador in the national park outside of Bariloche: http://www.hoteltronador.com/. Great horseback riding with incredible views.

    Fresh Berries - Where To Find Them - Now, Tomorrow, Usual

    I agree with the other post about mercadolibre. You can get a kilo of frozen blueberries for 44 pesos (http://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar/MLA-499051617-arandanos-congelados-calidad-iqf-entrega-gratis-ver-zonas-_JM) for example, or a mix of "frutos del bosque" (typically blueberries...

    Chocolate Chips In Buenos Aires ??

    I remember reading an article (http://www.conexionbrando.com/1381262) how Osvaldo Gross (pasteleria chef on TV) only buys his chocolate from Fenix. Though they don't have chocolate chips, the chocolate is good, better than Aguila in my opinion. There store in Constitucion (Solis 2022) has up...

    International Post

    I think things have been disappearing through regular mail over the last 6 months, much more so than in the past. I had 2 purchases in 2013 from aliexpress that just disappeared. Now with the new regulations from a month ago, it has gotten worse I think. I've had two more online purchases...
