Do you mean ANYWHERE more stable than Argentina or do you mean a place that is reliably stable per se? I don't know anywhere that's reliably stable in this continually deteriorating world economy. At least not for the middle and poorer classes as defined by each country. As a result, it makes...

After Oprah reported that she’d felt disrespected because a clerk in a posh Zurich shop didn't know that she belonged to the richest 1% of people who could afford a ridiculously expensive bag, she told the press that she was in Switzerland attending Tina Turner's wedding there. (Tina renounced...

So do Canadians and Australians. EU citizens didn't. We went to Brazil 3 times in 3 days because we'd never visited Brazil previously and we didn't need visas. Taxi drivers on both sides of the border insist on seeing your passport before they approach Argentina's or Brazil's frontier in both...

In late 2011 while on the Argentine side of the Falls, my husband and I went over to "Foz" by local bus from Puerto Iguazu in Arg (a few pesos only each way) expecting to return to Argentina by the same bus route after an early dinner in Foz. But the last bus back was at 5pm. The restaurant...

That takes care of breakfast. But what's for lunch and dinner?

Every single thing that Julia2 has said in her posts about the costs of living in Europe and Berlin is identical to what I’d have said about France and Europe had I posted before her. My husband and I are dual Canadian and UK citizens. We moved to France from Canada nearly 10 months ago. We were...

I think the OP is looking for a general practitioner who happens to specialize in sports' injuries. In my experience, these medical doctors often are runners themselves. They're popular with dancers and sportsmen.

The problem that Nounou reported and solved with an airline in Perth, Austalia is very important for dual nationals of both a 'fee-owing' and 'non-fee-owing' country who fly to BA out of their 'fee-owing' country rather than from their 'non-fee-owing' one. This new problem has arisen as a result...

Wow, the things that some of you say about how a person can come to love a particular city rock me with your insight and wisdom. Especially from people who I think are way younger than me! You guys are deep! I'm a 'she' btw and have travelled all my life and lived in different countries...

I'm living in one of my favourite European cities which I chose to retire in as my "Buenos Aires of the North" on the basis of it happening to satisfy best the 10 things I especially love about BA. Even though I'm very happy to live here, learning the ropes, settling in well and the locals are...

I second your telling the OP to "GO FOR IT", for sure. But BA’s every bit as much fun day and late night for older and old people. Ageism is passado, passé, gone. It was only a marketing device, anyway.

Dance studio space is notoriously hard to find in BA, far harder than in London or New York because there's little dance space rentable in time slots in BA. And available spaces in BA are generally a lot smalller. I'd suggest you decide first which of these 2 radically different physical...

In all regulated professions, no professional licensed within one country (or pertinent jurisdiction) can just set up shop in some other country. First, he needs to apply to, fulfil all conditions set by, and be professionally certified to practise by the relevant body in that country. Just...

El Queso, I think that you and I conceive of the world and this matter so differently that no consensus is possible between us. But that’s okay because that’s how it is. And I appreciate very much hearing your reasons in support of your view although I disagree with most of them as you do mine...

Those who've commented on or referred to my earlier post so far have missed its point. I didn’t question the practice of purchasing goods or services in countries other than one’s own. Neither was I talking about how poorer people feel about having less than the rich. Instead, I was talking...

It must feel rotten to be an Argentine living on a peso income from his local employer and out for a modest meal to see foreigners at the next table buying expensive wines because they got their pesos with $US at the black market, 30% plus better, exchange rate. Especially when those foreigners...

I think it's a good idea to study only in BA. I've done that for 4 years because the local instructors where I lived "taught" complete rubbish. However, it's important to dance where you live regularly at milongas before returning to BA for another session of lessons. This is how people improve...

Do NOT do this move.

Marciano, There is nothing 'dumb' about deciding to investigate a dance that one doesn't know in the country where it was born but with other beginners from one’s own country. As a dancer who studies Argentine Tango in BA for 6 weeks at a time after having learned and been dancing several...

[ What don't you like about classes at Villa Malcolm? Which night, group and instructor are you thinking of? I like "El Motivo's" progressive courses and practica on Mondays. After the intermediates and advanced, there's a milonga. I think the beginners' is scheduled on Tuesdays. Then on...
