Just to remind people, these are the types of bands I like. Kasabian Oasis Coldplay Keane Kings of Leon Stereophonics These are certainly in the right direction, thanks to all Babasónicos La Vela Puerca and El cuarteto de nos Jennsa Anything else from Argentina please but no hip hop, jazz...

Theyre pretty good,thanks. so i seem to be liking two Uruguyan bands (La Vela Puerca and El cuarteto de nos) and one Argentine in Jennsa Any other suggestions? Ta

Anything involving accordians are a big no, sorry.

Thanks, quite liking them. certainly along the right lines.

Thanks . Really want something in Spanish to help with my spanish. Also anything with accordions , maracas, tango related or kumbia/cumbia? is a no goer with me i`m afraid. Trumpets are bearable in moderation. So thats probably 80% of Latin music not to my taste haha Been through all the links...

Thought it was about time I paid some attention to the local music scene as apart from Abel Pinto and Diego Torres which my Spanish teacher keeps recommending i listen too but I hate with a passion, I dont have a clue about Argentine bands, can anyone give some suggestions more to my taste? To...

Thought it would be nice to have a thread of forum users embarrasing/amusing anecdotes about trying to learn Spanish here. I have a couple, one from a few months back when I went to the doctors. My Spanish is still pretty basic but I understand some things. So the doctor invited me to lie down...

We built our own house after buying a plot here in Formosa. Its not so far from Misiones/Posadas in terms of climate,costs,people,etc. As for climate, personally I love it here. Being able to use the swimming pool for 7 months of the year, and winter only lasts about a month in reality ie one...

Thats correct, somewere around here.. https://www.flickr.c...order_by=recent And some other favourites from our travels.

One I took about 8 years ago but always liked it.

Marmite is rich in Vitamin B. Good for the digestion hence no haemorrhoids :P

I had a couple of jars flown in for medicinal purposes.

On the Paraguay/Argentine border. They only xray baggage from buses , everything else is checked manually by about 4-5 aduana people. That incident with the tea was a few years ago, now theyre more strict unfortunately. Although it depends on who you are and where your coming from.

Gringoboy`s story reminds me of the time I went back to the UK .We arrived at the border crossing, luggage full of new "toys",etc our shopping trip and the nice border control lady started sniffing around my teabags :-O. There was a shopping bag full of them , so not surprising really. When I...

Think you`ll like BA then , it has some of the things you mention (power cuts, traffic problems,etc) thankfully no car bombs. Has some great parks in the centre and plenty of nice restaurants, a few of middle eastern & far eastern,etc immigrants here have opened restaurants. Theres a few pubs...

I`m sure it will go all ok, its manic for a few weeks (months?) either side of moving but things calm down. As you probably know yourselves! Just hope BA isnt too frustrating for you, it can be at times but theres lots to love about it aswell. Good Luck anyway.

Hi Natalie, small world hehe. When I saw Beirut thought it might be you. Hows everything going ? spoke to him the other week. Sounded a bit of a chaotic start with the storms that hit BA when he arrived. Still need to get my eldests passport done, they didnt like our countersignee`s signature so...

Just to update, New passport has arrived successfully via DHL, and to our front door rather than going to some office and waiting. Only took a month and a half and that included having to redo the form due to our mistake and send it back to the UK again.

Do you mean booking the tickets in the UK? We worked out with the tax and the dollar exchange we paid £1800 for 4 tickets. It wouldve come to around £4000 if we`d have gone through a UK website. My father in law will received 30% back from his tax next april for the flight tickets. So he`s...

Yeah ,thanks.I did try tunnelbear earlier to change my ip address but the price was the same. Anyone know if Iberia has a Buenos AIres ticket office that you can pay via bank transfer rather than credit card? Thanks alot
