    Really Nice DOG needs good home

    Hi again BKK to BA. I’m so sorry to hear that Choi Choo has cancer. Our beloved dog that moved to BA with us in 2010 died from cancer a couple of years ago and I still miss her every day. You two are amazing world citizens, such adventures. I’m happy you found each other and had ten...

    Travellers to be quarantined on arrival

    With everything that is happening right now and how quickly things are changing, I would go as fast as I can to wherever I want to be for awhile (and with whom I want to be with) and then plan to stay there.

    Abortion to become legal.....

    Maybe because, the last time I checked, it takes TWO to tango, a woman AND a man. Why should men be let off the hook entirely? Why should control of an individual's body then only be limited to women? If you get a woman pregnant, or more than one who doesn't want to have a child with you, do...

    Abortion to become legal.....

    The statement that women make the choice to have an abortion casually because it is just an easy form birth control is totally infantilizing and offensive. And to say there is righteous shame for taking the "easy" way out? What does that even mean? Do you really believe that women should be...

    Why are the Ramones so huge in Argentina?

    It’s just that their tshirts are pretty cool looking.

    Being ripped off

    Any inferences about the quality of my butt's attractiveness aside (you NEVER FAIL to surprise me with the digressions BaExpats), you are a man and I am a woman. Therefore, our reasons for looking someone in the eye have different intentions and most likely, different responses. Maybe a gang...

    Being ripped off

    Personally never had a bad experience on the NYC subway, after dozens of trips there for work and vacation. Just be smart, and maybe a little lucky. Then again, I took the train daily in BA and also never had a problem. I would suggest...always look people in the eye and make it clear they...

    Being ripped off

    Take the subway within NYC. Good maps show you how to get around and you just need to keep a hand on your belongings. It's usually faster too.

    Never Give A "Gringo " an Alfajor !. Publication Went Viral.

    Alfajores in Peru are much better than in Argentina. They don't douse the outside in a gooey sugary coating as a matter of course. The masa is less sweet as well. Yes, this is my strong personal opinion. And I welcome passionate disagreement.

    How to Be a Hipster

    You're definitely in hipsterville when you keep coming up with micro-neighborhood names to define that you're located in the next "edgy" area...what's next, Palermo Bravo?

    Australian tourist stabbed in Recoleta neighborhood.

    When tourists are at Patio Bullrich or the Four Seasons, I doubt that many of them know there is a huge villa just on the other side of the train tracks. I doubt the government wants to make this information well-known, that many of the best neighborhoods in BA exist directly adjacent to some...

    A good local foodie website.

    Happy to see a Pick Up the Fork update. Even if some of the places have since closed, it’s worth diving into her archives.

    Caesar - Cesar - Cesare Salad and Dark Roast Coffee beans

    Only decent Caesar salad I’ve had in BA...everywhere else it’s just mayo and terror.

    Overnight fee to be charged to foreign tourists

    Many cities in California charge a transient occupancy tax on hotels that is often 10% of the room rate. BA is a deal. I wish Venice would find a way to tax those cruise ships into oblivion.

    Greatest Hits: Ba Expat Characters And Incidents

    It really has. Maybe everyone is in Lisbon or the next next Expat Hotspot. I appreciate the re-read and it reminded me of some great BA Expat contributors/characters I’d forgotten.
