p.s. I know you say 'male' but isn't it really hard to tell with cats, especially kittens?

I am tempting my roommate with this adorable kitten. She has been wanting a cat but has some concerns. We'd both like some more information on what owning a cat in Buenos Aires entails... how are veterinary fees? Obviously we'd want to get him/her fixed and vaccinated or whatever new kittens...

I only have one: Floss daily. I try to keep them obtainable! Happy New Year everyone.

Sadly I don't think anything has changed. Calling from Skype is much like calling a cell phone from a locutorio which charges the receiving person. I think the principle is that on a cell to cell call, at least one of the companies is making some money, but on a skype or locutorio call, no...

I generally just try to devirginate them. I find it's the easiest way to shame them into leaving everyone else alone.

Is no one going to comment on the ridiculous title of this post? Really?? I've come to expect that such things do not go unnoticed by this group.

From the article: "...a hardening of attitudes towards gay rights across Africa was being encouraged by US-based Christian evangelical groups." UGH. There are no words to express my disgust.

Adriana, before you crawl back under your rock, please consider the following. Have you noticed that the world is insanely overpopulated and there are literally millions of unwanted children, children that many gay couples are happily and lovingly adopting? And, amen Steve. I'm a straight...

It's easy to make local calls with any Skype account. Click "call phones" to open a new call box. Choose "Argentina" from the dropdown list. This automatically dials the +54 for you. Dial 9 11 and then the 8 digit number (note that the 11 replaces the 15 you might otherwise use for a cell...

Though I may get flack for saying it, I would rule Santiago out right away. To avoid saying anything not nice I will leave it at that but you can PM me if you want more un-PC details on why. The area around Parque Las Heras is called Barrio Norte and it is one of my favorite neighbhorhoods in...

I just got back from a Patagonian vacation and during that time met many people who had just flown in to EZE within the last several days, none of whom were charged the fee. I was under the impression it would start on December 20. Is this on hold again or has it just not started yet?

I saw one last week at the huge Coto on Chacras in Barrio Norte but I remember laughing out loud at the price, considering you can get one for $12 at Target.

I lived and worked in Chile last year and was quite miserable. During that time I had taken a quick vacation to Buenos Aires and decided to spend my final alloted 5 months here instead of there and I've never been so grateful for a last-minute ballsy decision. I loved it so much I recently came...

Well I am finally, fully moved. I contacted Herman last week and he was very nice and even agreed to work on a Sunday. I explained that I had just a few suitcases/boxes but also a large bed. He said, no problem I'll bring my brother. 50 pesos including subir y bajar which is a steal - definitely...

We recently had a useful roundtable discussion on how best to avoid/alleviate mosquito bites. Check it out here.

Regarding the title, "United States of Shame": History has taught us that there's always going to be at least one dominant power in the world. The U.S. isn't any better or worse than any other empire in history or those to come, it just happens to be the current one. It might be hard for some...

I wrote this guide to housing last year, it's still relevant except prices have gone up. More specific advice really depends on what your price range is and how long you plan to stay, but start with the guide and then come back with more questions.

You're the man, Steve. Thanks.

Hey is it too late to RSVP? It'll either be yo sola or I'll bring another expat groupie. But I understand if I'm too late!

I do have a boxspring... think it would fit or do you have another guy with a bigger truck? Or I could sell the bed. Anyone interested? I just bought it last month for 1,000 pesos, will sell for $700... very firm, queen. I'll even throw in the sheets!
