Everything @sergio writes in his initial post may be true but it is not everything. It's a bit like the enigma of trying to describe the death, damage, destruction and devastation of the London blitz during the Second World War without mentioning that many people who survived - perhaps most...

Did Maurice Chevalier work on his accent to sound more American? Did Dick Van Dyke work on his accent to sound more English in Mary Poppins? Well, okay, maybe he should have done but unless you are aiming for a career as a Spanish speaking undercover superspy then having an accent can be an...

Unique Selling Point/Proposition

You should tell them that. For anybody who doesn't already know, Reuters business is selling news to publishers and their USP is the quality and accuracy of their reporting.

Maybe somebody else can recommend a good, safe, locally sourced adapter: I don't really have the expertise to judge one before buying it here so when I bring appliances from the UK I crop off the type G UK/Ireland plug and fit the local type I plug instead. Sometimes available amongst the...

Great post! Loved it! I first arrived at Easter that year. Plus ça change Plus c'est la meme chose Buenos Aires is so different now but it's still, unmistakably Buenos Aires. Do come back and embrace the changes and the similarities: I think you'll love it here.

Thanks for all the suggestions! Virgin Islands has turned out to be the best choice for me. El Gato Negro is certainly nice tea but still rather mild for me and starts to become stewed if left to brew for longer and Twinings: the pack of English Breakfast Tea bought here in Buenos Aires is...

While you are waiting for your repeater to arrive there are a couple of hacks you can try. If the router is currently autoselecting between 2.4GHz and 5GHz try setting it to one or the other and seeing which is best. The other hack is the famous beer can wi-fi reflector. Google it. You may be...

Your iron should work here. The problem is either the wall socket or the adapter or both. Well, it's definitely the adapter now anyway. It ought to have been made of thermosetting plastic - probably phenolic - and should discolour and smell if it gets over hot. If it's melting then you have no...

That's not the drift of the article by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard (https://archive.ph/YHuX1) that I linked to earlier this morning but then anybody who has been reading A E-P for a while will know that he does have a tendency to plough his own furrow and he's certainly put up a few birds for the...

In East Anglia, in the UK, it's the same. I lived there for fourteen years.

I've seen second hand children's books in English at the weekend feria de libros outside Parque Centenario, near the anfiteatro but I don't recall if these were specialist dealers or just mixed in with regular Spanish language editions

@Lindap, have the host school agreed to this? Do they know you are only staying for two months? Is it part of a teacher exchange deal or something? Years ago, when our kids were just kids, we spent three and a half months as a family in a foreign country. We "touched base" with the local school...

Pero - Mercado Libre I'm sure there are bargains and straightforward pricing somewhere on Mercado Libre but there are an awful lot of bandits out there too. Looking up the current prices of certain RapaNui products the other day, two listings in particular from Mercado Libre rose to the top of...

I think you might be surprised at how far downhill other counties public healthcare systems have slipped - especially since the pandemic. Twenty years ago I would have said that the UK NHS was working better than public healthcare in Buenos Aires but not any more. Guardia/A+E are still about the...

As I said in this forum on Dec 23 last year I don't think you have to look much further than Eduardo Eurnekian

Due to unforseen circumstances, I'm going to be staying longer than originally planned which means that I'm going to run out of my stocks of Yorkshire Tea! You probably need to be British to understand what a crisis this represents but, does anybody have a recommendation for a locally-purchased...
