    Any alternative to Google maps for local directions?

    I've been told multiple times, and fully agree: the Google Maps App (iPhone) does not work in ARG (at best, it 'might' (maybe) (sometimes); it is certainly unreliable: Turn LEFT, except when it means to say RIGHT; "the spot you are standing at does not exist"; "you can't get there from here"...

    Selecting an eSim for data only

    this should be a simple query (I hope): I know my iPhone is eSim compatible and that it can handle multiple eSim's I already am comfortable with using eSim (My phone currently has an eSim through my local carrier, SPECTRUM) For Voice I use WhatsApp -almost exclusively (with the exception of...

    Things to do (a 1-stop shopping list)

    In NYC, there used to be a "things to do" bible: Time Out NYC ; unfortunately, it has fallen out of greatness. Published on a weekly basis, it included sections such as: new stores, restaurants, shops, free events (for kids, adults, gays, athletes, blue-haired ladies...), dance, theater...

    Retiring in BA

    download Kindle in Castellano / Porteños / Lunfardo

    Oh… got it…. (Makes total sense) Having said that as I slowly muddle through learning Castilian (https://www.pimsleur.com/learn-spanish-spain-castilian/subscription-all-access), concerned that my “tu’s and vos’s”, my cadence and stress, my vocabulary, …. will all be worthless (they certainly...

    download Kindle in Castellano / Porteños / Lunfardo

    Been trying to learn Buenos Aries Argentine (Castellano / los porteños (?) / Lunfardo)... (it's not happening that quickly) So... my approach is to 'just try everything into the pot and hope something works". (The obvious would be to just take lessons in BA; but currently i am in NYC, and will...

    Lap swimming in BA

    I know their are several threads on this, but none in quite some time, and certainly not post pandemic Any suggestions for a pool with lap swimming? At least 20 meter (vs a “hotel” pool where guests swim “laps”) Does the Y in Centro (?) have a pool? With appreciation in advance Mark

    Never thought I'd miss IKEA, but...

    Although this is my fist digital-nomad adventure, and it won't be long (1 mes), I don't mind investing in my stay (not at all). I just notice that my apartment really does not have a 'work' surface (only a small square dining table). But there is plenty of room, and I don't mind buying an...

    my spouse and i will be taking up a brief (Feb 2022) expat residency in Buenos Aries. we will both be working from home (but not at "home".) both of us have jobs that are infinity easier with a second screen (both PC). +/- A 27" screen is sufficient, and it does NOT need to be 'gamer...
