Many years ago I was in Teatro Avenida chatting with my companion waiting for the curtain to come up when the woman sitting next to me on the other side tapped me on the arm and, in perfect RP, asked me if I were English. We had a short conversation and just before the lights went down I asked...

here is a 30 minute podcast about it https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01l05dq (link expires in 12 days)

The ratio between USD and NZD is beyond individual control. When I send AUD from my GBP account I decide how many AUD I want to appear in the recipient's account and work backwards from there. I'm sure that any amount that you feel comfortable about giving will be accepted in the same generous...

I think that's a lovely, lovely idea! In Argentina cash wedding gifts are always very acceptable (I've done this several times) especially if the couple are already living together and have all the usual things for the home. If they have an Argentina based US dollar bank account (many Argentines...

That report is dated Jan 2018. Google for Trump Deport Indian Workers and you'll see plenty of Nov 2024 reports from sources like The Hindu and India Today which express concern. I can't lay my hands on the recent article in a western mainstream publication where I first saw this but if I find...

Is that consistent with the reported plan to deport mostly Indian H-1B visa holders to force US businesses to hire from within the USA?

So.... "Nonresident tourists, coming over to Argentina to give birth" so the parents can obtain shiny new Argentine passports. Isn't that just another form of child exploitation? The moral high ground is thataway >>>>>

I'd be fascinated to read the outcome from this. Will it be a shrug? An enthusiatic offer to do something about it which comes to nothing? An actual concrete proposal to put right what is wrong? Do let us know. I've made my feelings about subsidies on public transport known before: most...

I don't usually watch videos but that was fascinating. Thank you.

As I think I have said before, many city blocks are non standard sizes. I know the data panel on the left of that page says 2.8km but making a very crude measurement using the scale in the bottom left corner, I make the journey around 4km. They ought to be the same but they clearly are not...

I don't know about Palermo but there are tunnels beneath San Telmo. The museum on Defensa - Zanjón de Granados houses the entrance and tells about their history.

We live somewhere between the Linea San Martin and the Linea Urquiza and sometimes it's more convenient to take "El Trencito" into that part of the city. The route is very photogenic: from Federico Lacroze it almost immediately dives into the countryside surrounding Agronomía, passes through...

The original Pagina/12 headline is quoting a phrase that Menem used to use. People sniggered at him too...

Many Brits have workplace pensions or private pensions in addition to the state pension but, provided you have worked for the qualifying number of years and paid or had credited National Insurance contributions through your work, the current UK State Pension is £221.20 per week. That's £958.53...

Have you discovered Luque yet? If you play guitar (or harp) you really must visit.

I looked in my wallet just now and I have both types. I'd never noticed that before but they are such low value that they are not worth noticing. I looked just now for some sign that they might have been series one, series two like US issues but couldn't find anything

You know how many times you've entered and how long you've stayed and so do they. Records are sorted on name and date of birth and identify you regardless of different passports you have used.
