    How To Buy Tickets For Teatro Colon If You Are From Russia..

    Why can't he just buy them online with his credit card? Edit: I see what you're saying. Have him create an account with your address, he'll be asked for a separate bulling address when he puts in his cc info

    Teeth Cleaning For $75 Us?

    Serious question: can I take my dog there? That's a fraction of what the vet charges. I love the once station. Part transport hub, part disaster ground, part sporting goods store, part carneceria, part Bolivian consulate (seriously, its upstairs) and as I just learned, part dentist office.

    Teeth Cleaning For $75 Us?

    75 US is more than I pay for my health insurance which includes unlimited cleanings. So yes I'd say that that is very expensive.

    Ingenious Ploys To Out Wit Customs.

    In May I walked through the full body xray scanner in Houston Airport after clearing US customs and the TSA officer tells me, "You're going to need to give me that swiss army knife in your pocket". While I made my seemingly 10000th swiss army knife donation to the TSA I couldn't help but laugh...

    Cost Of Live-In Nanny?

    Let me paint you a picture: It is picturesque late spring day. Not a cloud to be seen and the crowd of people in funny clothes are frolicking about, gaily partaking in bizarre ritual traditions. There are butterflies flittering between the flowers while song birds twiddle their approval. Yet...

    Cost Of Live-In Nanny?

    I don't think that I don't think that it will change the pricing that much. I think that could attract quite a few excellent young nannies who would be willing to work just for room and board. Obviously this would limit the OP to short term candidates (6-12 mo) rather than a long term...

    So Hospital Italiano Sucks, Which Alternative?

    I will second ceviche's recommendation for IADT and enthusiastically second the OP's opinion of Hospital Italiano (if you search you can find my review of the place). By the way, OSDE 210 includes IADT.

    Ingenious Ploys To Out Wit Customs.

    Expat or Argentine? Tons of people travel with bikes to Argentina just like they do with skis, golf clubs, tenis rackets etc. It's a fairly common tourist item, not exactly a brand new flat screen TV. Far from genius, I think your friend payed for oversized baggage on her outgoing international...

    How To Make Many Baexpats Cry Of Joy?

    That's a bargin, it's $220/kg in a lot of places. On the other hand lomo is still $90/kg at my local carnicero; back home I paid USD 11/kg for Salmon and USD 44/kg for Lomo. I justify the ridiculous prices for seafood to myself by remembering that I very regularly dine on proteins whose price...

    Gas Water Heater - Keep On Or Turn Off?

    http://baexpats.org/..._20#entry252292 Like I said, it makes washing up a lot easier, something I always do with gloves on. If I don't want the water that warm I turn on the faucet in the middle of the hot/cold range and then adjust until I get the right temperature. It's not rocket science...

    Gas Water Heater - Keep On Or Turn Off?

    If it is a normal tank style water heater, lowering the thermostat WILL save quite a bit of energy but you must remember to turn it back up about 30-60 min before you want to take a shower. If it is a tankless water heater, the savings from turning down the heat will be very minimal. If you go...

    The Science Behind It

    I love these, I hear them all the time from my girlfriend. You should eat steak which is the size of your palm. If you drink alcohol while take medicine the medicine stops working (regardless of what the medicine is). No matter what ailment you have, you need to go to the doctor so they can...
