I live in what I consider a very middle class to upper middle class neighborhood in Barrio Norte. My block is full of one and two bedroom apartments. Nothing fancy. With today's prices, most people remain unchanged. They all have maids, children in private schools, they travel abroad, wear the...

No, never dated a woman but man...yes. But Steve you went through the same process that I did for immigration, it was hell. Delays and stupid shit, plus the lawyers and long lines. If he the immigration process has advanced to a one appointment process for marriage, I would have taken the...

But you were already in the system, so it was just a change of category. I kind of thought you meant you were starting from scratch and able to process in one visit. So if you had just arrived with a tourist visa and married, this would not have been so easy?

WOW, that has to be the most positive story of immigration ever told here. My year and half precess for just my DNI, then the four year (should have been 3) process to permanent residency. Either things have really changed or marriage is the way to go.... I am impressed.

I think in general Disco is more expensive, Carrefour does offer all kinds of discounts with debit and credit cards, usually 20% on Thursdays on all credit and debit cards. Then they will give you a credit to use on your next purchase. It's a game. This time of the month, there are lines at...

Going to buy some pharmaceutical drugs for some friends, because they are cheaper here than in the US. (ie Crestor, etc. ) Normally I would just go to Farmacity and buy everything there. Since I buying more than usual, are there places to buy these cheaper? Or all drug prices pretty much the...

If you have the money buy a simmons, available in almost all the malls here in BA. For a cheaper alternative, try a Sealy, available at falabella. I bought a local brand and it fell apart in less than a year. I have a Sealy in my bedroom and a simmons in my guest room. Both are really nice and...

I think Dunkin' Donut was here about 10 years ago. I have been told it was a big flop, lasting only a year or so. Same with KFC...

Only stating the obvious, your other photo was very conservative, this new photo is completely wild and you appear to be shirtless. And your views towards a more recluse lifestyle...well they fit right in with the patterns of old Ted. Do I think I am funny? ...sometimes yes. Do I know what I...

Steve you are starting to sound and look more like the unabomber everyday. But at least you are not boring. Looking forward to that manifesto.

I will get a friend to call, they not only speak better Spanish, but have more patience with the local companies than I have. LOL Thanks VERY MUCH for this.

I have not paid the bill yet, so I will call and talk to them about it. Thanks for all your help. And I will let you know.

Juncal and Austria, maybe I missed the letter, wonder what can be done to change that.

I live in Recoleta / Barrio Norte, and get Edenor electricity. I do not remember seeing a letter. I am sure this barrio is one of the most expensive in city (maybe Puerto Madero is more). And it still is cheaper than the US, but not by much.

Wow, I was trying to reduce my usage. I have already changed my lightbulbs and cut my air conditioning as well. I guess I could use candles. But the computer will not work with them. I still think something is wrong.

Actually it does not feel that way. Unofficially it is really expensive here. I am trying to leave and I keep getting increasingly higher bills and even the expense of eating is changing day to day. I have been here for 5 or 6 years and this the the most expensive it has ever been. And I am...

Just got a huge electric bill. It makes no sense, since I have not run the air conditioner in more than a month. 200% more than the one during summer. It seems to be without subsidy. Last time they gave me a choice to pay without subsidy or with. This one does not offer that option. Any idea...

which one?

I have gotten use to all the kissing over the 5 or 6 years that I have been here. You are right, it is time consuming and sometimes I just duck out of a room just to save time. I am sure people think I am just a rude gringo, but if you have to kiss 15 or 20 people goodbye, that only 10 minutes...

It means it was early in the morning, I was still asleep, can't type and also trying to make a very lame joke. http://www.buenosairesherald.com/article/99640/explosion-occurs-outside-eu-branch-in-buenos-aires It says that an "Explosive device was set off", so I think calling it a bomb is...
