    Argentina; land of the selfish

    I find myself walking a lot on the outer edge of the sidewalk closer to the street. There's almost a whole 'nother lane if you dodge the phone booths, tree plants and bus stops. I'm surprised more people don't use that outer lane. Maybe this is where dogs are supposed to dump but I don't see...

    Coffee shops with Power

    I've been to cafe Martinez but couldn't find an electrical outlet. I'm having a problem with my battery and don't get much time out of it. Will see about Aroma.

    Coffee shops with Power

    I've come across plenty of cafes that have wi-fi, but have only found one that provides electrical outlets. And it is small and always crowded, The Marks or something like on Armenia in Palermo Hollywood. Anybody know of other cafes that have wireless internet as well as electrical outlets to...

    Intense Fear

    I still think it's far worse in the U.S. Of course I haven't been to all the neighborhoods yet. Back to the original topic. Fear is like a magnetic for trouble. Because the history of what's happened here in the past, people may be given to fear. But it only makes things worse and empowers...

    internet football

    I don't know if you noticed, but TVU took ABC off its lineup. There is a bar here that shows most of the games if you haven't heard it already, Shoeless Joe's Alamo.

    Intense Fear

    There is a significant police presence on the corners during the day, but not late at night. But even in good neighborhoods in the U.S., you don't see attractive women walking around alone late at night. I guess since most people here don't have cars that partly accounts for it. And from the...

    Intense Fear

    With all of the fear going around, one thing that I don't get is seeing women walking around alone late at night. You'd think if it were really that dangerous you wouldn't see this. This is in Palermo and Recoleta mostly that I'm talking about. It might be different in other areas. On a...

    African American in BA

    I met an African-American from Alabama who is planning to move, and spend the rest of his life, here. It was at an informational dinner with a tango instructor. He has visited a few times over the past few years and loves it here, so much so, that he sold his corvette and other belongings in...

    help! need to ship my laptop from the US to buenos aires

    If you declare the value of it to be less, the tax might be less. I had some stuff shipped here that was worth about $400 but declared the value at $100. It was shipped by U.S. Express mail and delivered to my door here in BsAs. It only took 3 days. When the delivery guy arrived he charged...

    Fast Food in Buenos Aires

    I hate to think about how the meat is prepared. When I was driving a truck in the U.S., once I had to go to a slaughterhouse to pick up a load of meat. The cows were crammed in these pins and barely had room to move around and the smell was intoxicating. I didn't eat meat for a couple of...

    Fast Food in Buenos Aires

    I went to McDonald's a couple of weeks ago and had a double cheeseburger, fries, and a washed down all those toxins with a cold coca-cola. Mm-mmm! The beef tasted better than the McD's in the U.S. Maybe once a month I'll get a fast-food fix.

    Feedback Cocktail Party

    Thanks for organizing the event. The food was good, especially liked the potatoe dish, and enjoyed the conversation. The train-car design of the area we were in, though, was somewhat difficult to navigate through.

    Smoking Ban Update

    I don't go to internet cafes. But all the restaurants I've been to have eliminated smoking. There are signs up and smoking areas are gone.

    Smoking Ban Update

    The smoking laws vary from state to state in the U.S. A lot of places have banned smoking in restaurants but not in bars. And still some restuarants are required to have non-smoking areas that meet certain conditions. And then I think there's a town in Colorado where it's illegal even to...

    Does anyone know of a good health food or vitamin store? What I'm looking for is probiotics and healthy bacteria or enzymes.

    NBC, CBS or ABC

    If you have a high-speed internet connection you can download TVU player which has these networks and many more. If you go to the full-screen mode though it diminishes the quality and connection. If you keep it on the 5x7 inch screen most of the time it keeps a decent connection. Except...
