I also read several Argentina dailes in Spanish, I agree with you with conceiving what's omitted and what's not between the sources, the Herald gets critized for being both pro- and anti-goverment as it prints articles with both stances. Which one are you referring to? They have printed...

I don't think those criticising have read the paper for some time. I get it every day and it isn't as bad as they are making out. There are errors though, easily attributed to the fact that all the local and sports news has to be first translated from Spanish to English by non native...

Because of two reasons I can think of: no native translators would work for the salary they offer, and in a newsroom environment you are working fast and under pressure towards a deadline, quite often with the content of the stories in flux being updated while they are being written — that would...

Remember that the Buenos Aires Herald newspaper and the Buenos Aires Herald online are two different entities with different editors, staff and offices. Both are particularly underfunded and short-staffed. Furthermore, there aren't many native-English speakers who are attracted by the salary.

I generally find myself on the other side of this situation; I do like a good terrace party. Strangely enough I never have had a complaint in seven years, though two of which were spent in said zone of Palermo near to Niceto Vega and Humbolt and I reckon that my parties were the quietest on the...

Exactly, this is all very pretty right now but it is all borrowed.

We just rented a car this weekend past. We usually rent from Guido Guidi who have been fantastic but unfortunately they have run into difficulties and no longer rent cars. So instead the wife rang around and found Sixt to have the best offer for a long-weekend rental. 2200 pesos for 4 days...

You can buy whole frozen lamb or legs of at Jumbo, suckling pigs too. In Palermo, Piaf sells whole lamb and cuts. It also yacare, duck, venison, partridge, and quial, among others. Though they are usually frozen.

Charquiqui is a friend of mine. The beef jerky is excellent, I have a packet beside me right now.

Soemthing I learnt incredibly quickly in Argentina, and to paraphrase Twain; you cannot argue with a peronist, they will only drag you down to their level. Edit: The quote is actually a bit cruel. I very much value the underappreciated and valuable contributions from the locals on the board...

She is the political satire that Argentina needs. Unfortunately people take politics too seriously here. A Daily Show/Last Week Tonight or Spitting Image would be perfect. The comedy writes itself.

If you have legal residency at an address in the city and either: Have young children and 2-5 monthly incomes in the household totalling 9,400 - 23,500 pesos Are a student below 25 years-old Are below 35 years of age and earn between 4,700 and 9,400 pesos monthly Work in black and below 35...

If Macri wins, or Scioli shrugs off the Kirchner shroud, one would assume that markets would open up or at least have slightly more freedom than they do now. In my opinion, if someone was to looking to import, then after elections would be too late to gain the advantage over competitors. It...

I've just started The Honorable Woman and am blown away by it.

Nobody said Argentina wasn't Western. The original sentence alluded to a Western visitor to Argentina.

I wrote Western in preference to First World, which I had in mind in terms of its original use in Cold War politics rather than the country's development. Latin Americans have a very different outlook on politics and life in general than most NATO allied countries. They are just as you say...

There is some great advice above. There are more mental changes than practical one in preparation to move to Argentina. My advice would be learn to cope with less. Be less materialistic. Learn how to repair things and make others that you would normally purchase. Have patience with the things...
