Looks great!!

I have never seen a real Christmas tree. We have a fake one, the bazaars sell lots of decorations. The nicest store for Christmas, in my opinion, is Alparamis -- the one in Zona Norte is better than the one in Galerias Pacifico. At the one in Zona Norte they have visits with Santa. The entire...

Like many others, he may have received initial treatment in a public hospital but transferred to a private facility for convalescence. Furthermore the GoFundMe does mention that the loss of work and the flights/stays of his direct family are a significant issue.

Everything comes and goes in and out of fashion. Perhaps forums like this one are going through that. The admin has been absent it seems, there certainly don't seem to have been many efforts to keep the forum active and alive, the look hasn't updated in years, which isn't necessary for most of...

Do you live on the outskirts of Urquiza Morgan? We are being invaded by the cervecerias artesanales. One just opened on Congreso and Aizpurua. There's another around the corner on Constituyentes. I am sad to see that Urquiza is being turned into another Palermo and on my side, where there are...

Funny part is you can get every bit of it and more in Buenos Aires... the ingredients are very basic. With the exception of the chess -- which I don't know what you use, jack? Cheddar you can get in BA now too...

Yes, it will not be a matter of showing up in February/March and registering for the CBC -- perhaps February/March 2019. You have to take quite a number of Argentine high school courses to enter a public university here -- 6 exams I believe. Find more info in this thread...

Have you moved there Rich One? My husband's company is transferring us there in a couple of months. In fact, we have less than 90 days to go in Argentina :( We were there in September for a week to look at schools for my son. My impression is that basically you can get all the American...

If you download the report there is a brief section on the methodology. The survey had approx 12,000 respondents in 188 countries. However: "For a country to be listed in any of the indices and thus in the overall ranking, a sample size of at least 75 survey participants per destination was...

There are more trains per line. I don't ride the D, but I can say the B is still as packed as ever, even with new trains on the line. They still have tonnes of old ones too, and those crappy ones from, I think, Barcelona that are terrible, 4 people facing each other and your knees bang up...

Is it literally double? And it is it literally from one month to the next? Is it at all possible that they did not receive your last month's payment until after they had already issued the bill? (I ask because I just had my husband freaking out over our AySA bill, that it had doubled, blah...

We had underfloor heating in our place in Las Canitas. The guy above us was pumping his all the time, he lost a tonne of heat because he was on the top floor, so he just cranked it (or perhaps he just loved to walk around in his underwear all the time, for all I know). Our place, we didn`t even...

I came through last week, I had an old and a new laptop with me, so I was ready to declare. I filled out my slip, since when I bought the laptop I had forgot to tell them to make a separate bill for an external drive and a set of headphones, I was ready to declare those as well. Oh and I had a...

I'm surprised that if your top concern is quality education for your kids you put them in public school. With the exception of a very few public schools, most are not up to the standards of the large majority expats and that is extremely common knowledge. There are certainly not a lot of public...

All I can say is that embassies like coherency. As do customs officers, homeland security, TSA etc etc. So if the OP is as incoherent during interviews at the embassy in person as he has been on this thread, his chances of getting a passport or any sort of visa for travel to the USA are slim to...
