    Where to find Lagavulin at a reasonable price?

    Try either Muñiz on Pte Luis Saenz Peña 156, they have a broad selection of imported whiskies, predominantly Scotch, at realistic prices. Or Las Viñas on Talcahuano 150ish sometimes has interesting bottles, though much less selection.

    Seats For Dining Table

    Try the flea market, Niceto Vega/Dorrego, and the streets around it, for 2nd hand furniture in all states of repair, including antiques stripped down & painted up funky. More classically restored antiques in large shops around Av Rivadavia ~8000. The new furniture district is Avenida Belgrano...

    John Boyle's Unresponsive // Need A Reliable Taxi Service

    $950 for an airport run?!! Is there a remis company near you? They will give you a set price for the trip to the airport and a price for waiting around, sometimes hourly, sometimes by the quarter hour. Remises usually do not charge the return leg of the journey, just check that by asking "cobran...

    Metrogas Inspector - To "encourage" Or Not?

    Found it. Yikes! Your experience is what people have been warning me about, but I wondered whether it was a bit of an urban myth. Did you acually get the same guy four times? I'm bloody freezing now, sitting about with all the extra ventilation, so they'd better turn up & pass it, so I can block...

    Metrogas Inspector - To "encourage" Or Not?

    Thanks for this fifs, but I cannot find your numerous posts, either by searching "Bribed by a Federal Police Officer" or by looking at the list of posts under your profile (but it was an interesting distraction reading what I did find there!). Sorry to be dense but where else should I look? Just...

    Metrogas Inspector - To "encourage" Or Not?

    Thank you. I agree 100% about not encouraging corruption & very glad you got your gas installation approved without it. This whole process is supposed to be making us safer, after all! Fingers crossed. I'm still waiting for them to come.

    Bugs In Food Bought At China Town Market

    Bad luck! Once when I had the same problem & complained to the dietetica, I was directed, with not a trace of irony, to look at this: http://medicinalternativa.blogspot.com.ar/2006/01/para-que-sirve-la-terapia-de-gorgojos.html and treat the bugs as a bonus. I wouldn't go that far, but have...

    Metrogas Inspector - To "encourage" Or Not?

    Thanks, already done all the crazy things and the matriculado has checked it and handed in the paperwork. Now waiting for a new inspection in the next day or 2. So - when they came back to approve your new vents, it was all straightforward, no monkey business?

    Metrogas Inspector - To "encourage" Or Not?

    Long story short, we needed some work done on the gas installation after the building was cut off for what turned out to be a leak in the street. Now it's all done & ready for the Metrogas inspector to come and give the go-ahead. But I am told by local friends, and the plumber, that it won't...
