I'm fairly new to BsAs but I've seen a few posts in threads on this board that are critical of the press or government interference thereof. I can only read one, the Buenos Aires Herald, so I'm pretty much clueless.

I discovered a website that broadcasts some of the major networks in the U.S. including ABC, CBS, and ESPN. The quality's not great, and it probably won't last long once the networks find a way to quash it, but for now you can at least some live coverage of your teams. I was unsuccesful at...

Good copy. Enjoyed the good food and atmosphere. Hope to meet some of the others next time!

The cleaning lady came and I had my sister talk to her on the phone about the missing shoes and flip-flops en espanol. It turns out she had put them in a cabinet that I had not checked. It was a cabinet under my printer and the last place I would look for shoes. I was sure I had looked...

I think the cleaning people are coming again tomorrow so I'll try to ask them if they accidentally took them, maybe when they were mopping the floor. I think the lady's name is Maria. Otherwise, I'll tell the landlord I'm moving out at the end of the month. I don't want to have to be taking...

Yesterday I decided to put on my running shoes but could not find them. I thought maybe I left them at my sister's apartment when I stayed there but she said they were not there. Then I noticed something else strange. My flip-flops were also missing. For whatever it's worth, they were both...

When I returned the movie I looked on the box in the store to see if a zone was identified and it was not for this particular movie, Matchpoint. But I noticed that many of the movies do show the zones and was not aware of this. Thanks for the info. I already spilled a cup of tea on my laptop...

Thanks Igor, last night I got a movie at Blockbuster and it worked just fine so I guess the DVD-ROM accepts this zone.

I'm guessing if I get DVD's at the movie store, or Blockbuster, here they will work on my laptop. I was going to get a movie last night when I went out looking for printer paper but forgot. I found the printer paper at a Libreria on Scal. Ortiz. My laptop was purchased in the U.S.

Thanks for organizing the event Natasha. It was good to meet a lot of other people and speak in English for awhile!

Will they have the Ohio St. vs texas game on? I'm an Oklahoma fan and will be listening to them play on the internet starting at 4:30pm. But the Ohio St./texas game is #1 vs #2 and I may listen to it also starting at 9pm. So I might be late if it's a good game.

I've been here for over a week now and saying that the people are "pretty nasty" I think is beyond the pale. I wouldn't call myself "worldly" but I have been a few places and have found the people here much more kind and cooperative with foreigners than many other places. But when people get...

I'm surprised there aren't any air-powered musical horns here. They are very loud and especially effective at alerting unsuspecting pedestrians and other motorists. When I was in India it was like the traffic sounded like some kind of disorganized orchestra though with some kind of harmony...

Maybe I should try going to a bank but I've heard, in addition to the last post, that the line is usually very long and sometimes even they won't give you coins. I hadn't thought of begging even though the title of the thread makes some allusion to this. I tried it a few times many years ago...

I can see this is going to be one of the daily obstacles here. It was much the same way in Romania when I was there a few weeks last May. That is the shortage of change and small bills. If you take the bus a lot it's especially important to hold on to those coins if you can. I thought if I...

Thanks for all the info. This should be helpful. I don´t know what the limit on my ATM card is but I´ve experienced different limits in different countries. I brought enough cash for my first two months rent so I guess if I had to I could just withdrawal each day until I get the amount for...

I read some of the posts about ATM's/Banking and did not find the answer to my question but I could've missed it somewhere. My question is: Can you go inside a bank and have them draw money off of your ATM/Debit Card in order to receive cash? I have done this in other countries when I needed...

I discovered this site today and have found many of the posts to be informative and helpful. I'll be living there starting this Tues until the middle of December and look forward to it.
