    Has anyone seen a "Dri Buddi"?

    We used something like this in the past. You hang it from the wall in your lavadero (you will need a drill or somebody who can install it there for you). It works great! If you hang the clothes properly you can even skip ironing :P...

    Pork Knuckle, 16 pesos a kilo (Mercado central)

    HOLY CANOLI! That is awesome French! Hmmm Beer + honey + red pepper power + cilantro + lime + minced garlic... mix it all, pour the mixture over the pork, cover with a bag the night before and place in the fridge... then into the oven. Half an hour per pound and you got yourself a treat...

    What are they thinking?

    Or when you tell someone "hey you just dropped something" and you get an "ANDA CAGA!". Don't ask me how I know.

    Building robbery

    RicardoBA, you are comparing the actions of a mad man with the lack of law enforcement and impunity thugs seems to enjoy in a whole country, not just BA? I think you are not only missing the point but also displaying the same delusional condition CFK suffers. What is it with denying that BA or...

    Would you move a family to Argentina...?

    Well I for one appreciate your input. Is funny how the comments as to what the current situation is would vary from argentine citizen to argentine citizen. Like I said yesterday in another thread... I was a lurker on this forum for about 2 years... but as of late I feel the need to do a reality...

    Feliz Dia de la Primavera!

    GET HER ONE! this is the day spring, youth AND WOMEN beauty are celebrated (usually referring to them with corny sayings like "the most beautiful flower in my garden"... I think this is THE day when they don't mind it!). If you got girls, or mom in law, etc nearby prepare to get multiples.

    Would you move a family to Argentina...?

    Thanks iznogud, I hope I didn't come across too blunt by asking you that. As sleslie23 says the "Preper" or "survivalist" mentality is always fascinating, specially those that resort to guns as the prime mean of survival. This guy is way out there as I just saw in his blog. I don't mean to...

    Would you move a family to Argentina...?

    Oh man this gaveme the goosebumps... this is exactly the scenario I'm having nightmares about. I got a baby boy coming in October and 2 girls under 10. Just trying to put myself in Iznogud shoes and I have no idea what to do. Not trying to hijack or derail the thread, but if you (Iznogud)...

    IMF about to censure Argentina

    I can see why! In a word? corruption. And before the trigger happy "ya talking bad about Argentina" yaahoos load theirs weapons, YES there is corruption everywhere in the world. Here it just seems to be more disclosed and impune. The former more than probably due to the latter.

    Recoleta . Zona Liberada - Entraderas

    Even if you are right, and we are all "denialists" it doesn't make BA any safer. I could be coming from a slum country full of drug lords with Darth Vader himself handing out Viagra pills to every rapist and issuing M16s to street gangs and it still wouldn't matter, for the subject is the...

    Vacations: Labor Law in Argentina

    Oh, and also. Some companies here have timeframes for vacations. For instance I worked at 2 different companies where you could take vacations only on Jan, Feb and Mar. I know because I wanted to take July to go to the mountains and I couldn't :/

    Vacations: Labor Law in Argentina

    I'm not an expert, just an employee, but AFAIK it is like this: You can take weeks (or at least at my job we can) but not DAYS. It is not like PTO were you can take a day in Feb then 2 days in March, etc. You can split the weeks, but you take the whole week, and that includes any holidays in...
