    Re: Chavez in BA tomorrow to protest Bush

    Yes, you should be worried, for your mental health. Why on earth should anyone pick on you if you are foreign. Be it African, Asian, Bolivian, Russian or any other race or nationality, just because Chavez might be visiting. Get a grip.

    Watching English football games in B.A?

    Hello mate, welcome to BsAs. You might want to try Locos X Futbol, they have 3 branches in Bs As. I know the one in Recoleta near the cemetery, right next to the cinema. The match is showing on ESPN2 . I am also a Gooner, and have been here for 2 months now. If you are staying for a while, why...

    VISA problem at ATM's

    The answer is short. The Banelco network will allow you withdrawals of 100 pesos up to 3 times in a day. The LINK network will let you get at least 1000 pesos in a day (I didn't try for any more), so maybe you can. So the short and the sweet of it is. Use LINK machines. Regards Pedro...

    re-post argentina v chile...play nice please

    Chile's economic success really started when the then dictator Pinochet followed Margaret Thatcher lead and nationalised everything in sight, the then subsequent, left of centre coalition governments left all untouched. But the real boom came from the Chinese unquenchable thirst for copper, thus...

    re-post argentina v chile...play nice please

    It sound like you're a little bitter and twisted, maybe you are resentful about Chile helping the British refuel their planes on Chilean soil during the Falkland conflict, or is it the little handbags they had over some little islands in the Beagle Strait. Or maybe you are just jelous because a...

    Casino Royale?

    It's more likely to appeal to mass European audiences than mass American audiences. European history isn't a strong point here (remember that "The Madness of King George III" had to be renamed "The Madness of King George" in case American audiences thought this film was a sequel to previous...

    Eeeenglish footie matches

    I doubt a pub will open at midday for the match. You might want to try Locos por el futbol, locosxelfutbol.com. If not just watch it on foxsports. Either way I hope you will be cheering on the Gunners.

    Re: young and punk and poor

    . It would make more sense to convene at a watering hole, as this encourages fluid interaction. The group could repair to a restaurant after a couple of hours. As far as stucturing the meets go, I think you hit the nail on the head.

    Re: young and punk and poor

    I won't rip into your staments, and actually wanted to agree with you about not liking the expat dinners. Maybe if the meets were just a get together in a pub instead of a sit down dinner, then one could just mingle around till you find someone with something in common with you, instead of...

    Q: shipping a car

    I would suggest to you to sell your car in the U.S. as import taxes are 85% of the car's value. I say this as I am in the same situation as you, although I am trying to bring it in from Chile, where I live at the moment. Apparently the only way to avoid this tax is if you are bringing the car in...
