Noble, Hi. In BsAs is a large community of Asians. There is even a Chinatown in Arribenos. I am not sure where the news of "Asian backlash" is coming from but there are Japanese and Chinese people roaming the streets of BsAs. And as to your being african-american stop you from enjoying such a...

I have been out of touch for awhile but was shocked to read some of cousins request on what I can bring them back from my travels. Some wanted milk, others were asking for bread and others (mostly the boys) were asking for meat. First, I thought it a prank just to crowd my inbox and maybe awaken...

My cousins are saying that for a few times this week COTO and JUMBO both in the Cabildo/ Palermo and Las Canitas area have fewer than ever or NO meat at all! What is happening? If the prices of the things we love have to go up, let it go up - if we want it bad enough we should pay the price -...

You did not "say" anything about Castro. You referred to him...you did not SAY anything about him. You have to quantify your statement. I can sense that I get on your nerves. :-) Love the fact that I get a rouse out of you. Just love crawling under your skin and getting you all riled up. And...

Igor, this "new" peso will not address the shortage of moneda problems, will it? Coz if it does, it will surely make my life a whole lot easier. Igor for President!!

R U sure you are in Buenos Aires? That is over selling that "apologetic" thing quite a bit isn't it?

donq, I too come from a family that was badly scarred by the Vietnam war. Being a born American NOT naturalized, the Vietnam war is almost a member of this family that shows its ugly head everytime someone mentions it at the dinner table. That is why we choose to remember that war as a dead...

There will always be other people *ahem (cough)* Portenos who will envy the 3:1 exchange. C'mon let us face it, what does it really do to ones morale that one's country has an exchange rate of 3 argentinian peso for every freakin' dollar? Makes you look impotent to give it a name. I do not see...

Merry Christmas Nikad! Thank you for helping in keeping the spirit of "expatriotism" alive with your lively posts and insights. I hope your wishes come true too. This year I am not wishing for world peace, I have been wishing for that since I was 7 years old so this year I just wish that people...

Holiday Greetings to all! steveinbsas, with all due respect, you are only addressing the "how well the foreigners have it made" re: ABL, but for those Portenos who earn in pesos,buys and tries to save in pesos, this is a very,very big tax jump. The ABL just do not affect us foreigners, the...

I laughed so hard when I saw this question. Thanks for the laugh.

I wonder where she got that "original" idea? Any guess? Here I was thinking she hates the USA and any USAQ ideas and practices. I guess, as long as she says one thing and does entirely another that would be just fine and dandy. Wow what a pioneering idea..daylight saving time.. who would have...

Interesting, you mean the Yellow Fever Plague was color specific? How come it only affected the blacks and not the "mestizos"? Very interesting.

And why don't we see more of them here in BsAs? I was just making that observation a few days ago and so far no one has given a "good" answer. Why the heck did they all go?

Ariel, when you have a moment can you log on again and clarify if what instigated your original post was a person experience. Let us give the original person who posted this clarify if he was spitting, I mean, speaking, from experience. I think he is entitled to his own opinions on this matter...

Prior to Cristina winning the Presidency there were talks of more inflation and price hikes - this should not come as a surprise to anyone, really. Nobody expects the "honeymoon" to last forever - did you? Price hikes have been sticking it to us for sometime now - after Cristina's hurrah - she...

I believe no parent wants their his or own child to be irresponsible, sometimes what is lacking in most of the very few portenos that I meet are acting without any concern for ACCOUNTABILITY of their bad actions, I steer clear of. A dead give away are those people who do not look you in the eye...

smoke being blown to ones face is never nice. plumes of smoke emitted by buses are never nice. Are we in Argentina to become part of the problem or contribute even a little bit to the solution. Your call.

Dulce de Leche can be brought into the US if it is in a checked in luggage. I saw an Argentinian woman go into second inspection at the US Customs in Atlanta and had her visa (I believe she had an H1) revoked for bringing in fake Louis V. bags. (the purse she was carrying, the sunglasses and...

12 is too much. Re-evaluate what she does really for the 7.50 and number of hrs. she puts in every week. If this is mostly a business arrangement and you are not happy with what she is doing then change housecleaner. I am sure if she finds a more permanent employer she will leave you with one...
