I tried to click "Like" everywhere but in case I missed something, GOOD JOB! Even photos. Many thanks!

Oh dear! After that post I think I see a move in my future. Most here in the building are owners and even if it takes two years, they're stuck. But not me! Sure points up the advantage of renting doesn't it? Salads are my lifestyle anyway, though I do cook a few things, as long as my distiller...

I don't think they will, shoush but you may have missed that I had 3 months in Chile already planned. But if they have to do that through the whole building I don't see it being just 3 months. As much as I like it here, I might well move. I am sure my landlady doesn't want me to move and it's...

Apparently they are replacing the system. This morning, when doing my stair climbing I notice in the entire hallway on planta baja they have all the concrete ripped out and a trench along the entire hall. If they're doing that it could well take the seven months someone described. This building...

What subway? I know, I've been her long enough to know, but I don't. I know one train station--Retiro. I know how to get there, of course. But Lacroze? Can someone give any more detailed directions por favor?

Thanks Rich One. We can count on you to come up with the good stuff. This article is a keeper. I love Argentina, but I know some Chile people well and I think they are overall down to earth and practical and industrious. I have to judge Chile by the few people that I know there AND, I also...

I was going to say I've seen people on the plane with a small dog in their lap. Surprised me! But it sounds like a better idea to me than cargo. Poor baby!

Can anyone tell me how to get to Galpon if I should decide to go. I don't have a car. Can you get there without one? Great information, by the way!

I buy as much organic as I can get. I do fill in with other things from the vegetable stands that happen not to be available. I buy from places that deliver. Three of them I have used are El Jardin Organico, El Rincon Organico and Tallo Verde. (If you search you will find them.) I have been...

Hi, sorry I didn't read all these posts so if someone else answered, I apologize. Unless he is a returning Uruguayan (and unless something has changed) he cannot import a car to Uruguay. They will charge him so much he will wish he had bought it here several times over. I know the rules say you...

Why would it cost that much to transport an animal? I'm completely lost on that one! As you can tell, I'm a novice.

Socialism is when government takes money by force that was earned by one group and gives it to another group. If an individual gives money to help someone, that is charity. When it is taken by government power, it is socialism. When I was a girl in the U.S. the only truly socialist program was...

OF COURSE, corporate socialism not only exists in the U.S. It is RAMPANT. It controls politics. One congressman quit a few years ago because he said congress doesn't even make the laws any more, the corporations write the laws and congress does it. I REMEMBER that stuff. Used to be that was...

Well, thanks for all the commiserating with me. It's great not having to go through such crises alone. Y'all saw me through the even worse crisis--no Internet--as well. My good fortune is incredible in that I have a 3-months stay in Chile already planned. It is the possibility of 7 months with...

Rich One, as I have observed before, we all know why you are . . . Rich one! (giggle). I understand your point, but it isn't the landlady's fault so my heart wouldn't be in penalizing her. I can see the solution is probably just buying some kind of electric hot plate or something. What's a...

I am laughing at some of the things you've seen here. I remember the first time I saw an open hole in the sidewalk that looked like the bottom was an entire floor below, and someone had stuck a tree limb in the hole so no one would accidentally fall into it. I'm still laughing. In the country I...

I'm thinking Ghost is right. I think that when I return from Chile it will be time to move--unless I have gas on my return. I LOVE my neighborhood and I really don't want to do that BUT . . . . my new DNI was supposed to come in two months and it was more than four. My passport was supposed to...

I really enjoyed all of your comments both here and via email. WOW I knew there was an explosion but didn't know it was from gas. Well in that case I'm not going to complain. Even THIS is better than THAT!.Actually the administration did say something. They said the gas would be off the 20th of...

Our gas has been off for three days. Today I asked the portero when we would have gas in the building. To my absolute amazement he said in three months. Three MONTHS??!!! The pipes are being repaired, he said. I live in Palermo a block (more of less) from Alto Palermo. This means no stove for...

SteveinBS. There are several articles on my web site about Paraguay written by people already there. Also there is a web site run by a friend of mine that is www.totalparaguay.com where you could get information. Glen is one of the expats who live there. He left Uruguay after seven years for...
