    Sushi & Delivery

    I like http://www.sushimotodelivery.com.ar/ They have creamcheese, avocado salmon rolls like someone mentioned, but I don't like cream cheese in my sushi. Others seem to enjoy them when I've ordered. I like their sashimi!

    Looking For Argentine Bands Recommendations

    Les Mentettes - They sing in English, so if you're looking for Spanish vocals you'll have to look elsewhere. http://lesmentettes.bandcamp.com/ 107Faunos - indie rock https://www.youtube....h?v=AKaV8SEydb4 Bahia Inutil - Chilean group https://soundcloud.com/bahiainutil La Bombachita - Drumming...

    Also, why isn't the stuff about Bond Street making the news? That seems odd .

    Expats Who Went Back Home: What Was It Like?

    Visiting home entails putting on the expat 15 (lbs). After being away for over a year, I went a little crazy during my month back and said yes to everything that I'd ever eaten at any point and could not find in Buenos Aires. There's definitely a greater variety of crunchy snacks and chocolate...

    Information Re: Adderall

    Maybe you could go on vacation to Uruguay or Chile and have them shipped to you with a US-filled prescription. This thread may help: http://www.allchile.net/chileforum/topic4218-12.html

    Yeah, I've seen the motorbike thing before, and usually it's one rider and a person on back. Once a woman on the side walk on Cordoba and Thames had her purse snatched, another time I saw a guy trying to flag a cab off of Cordoba with something in his hand, and the people on the motorbike stole...

    The worst thing that's happened to me was having my wallet pick pocketed in a club. This has been a crazy couple of months though. Is anyone else noticing an uptick in violence or are we just anomalies? A month or two ago around 4 or 5pm in DeliCity near Sante Fe (Palermo) - a guy who kept his...

    Kleenex With Lotion

    I haven't seen anything. I would just put chapstick all around nose and mouth, that seems to help prevent my face from cracking and falling on the floor. Chapstick stings less than most lotions. I miss puffs plus, too.

    Type Of Power Converter Needed?

    What does a surge protector look like? The ones below don't seem right. I've only ever bought power strips with surge protection built in, but I haven't seen that here, just the white one posted above. http://listado.mercadolibre.com.ar/protector-contra-sobretensiones

    Container Gardening / Balcony Gardening

    Also, has anyone composted here? I found this link: http://www.organicbuenosaires.com/2012/08/23/reciclar-residuos-organicos/ but that pacha brand seems to be defunct as a source for containers. Or, they don't do online sales.

    I don't know if any of you had aphids, but I was a little leery of the insecticide I bought at the store as it had to be replied every month and a half, and that seems pretty strong to me. I googled for aphids, and at least on the flower I have now - I think it's a tiger lily, sticking cut up...

    Container Gardening / Balcony Gardening

    There's a lady who sits on Scalabrini Ortiz near the Coto at El Salvador and sells hot peppers. I'm pretty sure she sometimes has habaneros because I tried using half of a single pepper, no seeds, inner skin scraped (that I had an inkling was hot) in corn bread and it made my Argentine dinner...

    You guys are awesome. So...soil at Easy and hopefully clay will not be an issue, if it is, add perlita. Got it. I hunted on Mercado Libre for seeds and found some vegetables I had never heard of! Thanks much.

    Container Gardening / Balcony Gardening

    Hi! Has anyone done any gardening here...successfully? I've gotten soil from Mario Vivero. While I like their plants, the soil tends to be very compacted or maybe it's got too much clay. I've also had tons of problems with bugs infestations - aphids, white flies, mealy bugs, spider mites, green...
