Just realized that tomorrow is a holiday. Do you think Xoom's More Money Transfer will be open? Or will they close and re-open for Friday? Thanks in advance!

A secret deal happened ... all the foreign uber luxury stores need to close in Buenos Aires to make way for an Ikea and a Target. (Reading some books on visual manifestation ... forgive me)

Do you speak Portuguese? I'm just envisioning making a wrong turn somewhere or negotiating street parking with an "attendant" and running into trouble. Driving in Buenos Aires vs Sampa/Rio is like Hamburg vs Los Angeles ... my 2 cents. Rio right now is definitely more stressful than Sao Paulo...

Was reminded this afternoon of a Dr.'s appointment tomorrow .... so sorry can't make this one :(

3 would definitely work better, but I can stay for a quick coffee at 5 ... mujoe you said the upstairs of baraka is a good place to meet?

Thanks for the tip... we'll try it!

This has homegrown US "Al-Crazy" written all over it. Abhor that for so many, the word "terrorist" has become synonymous with the Middle-East/Islam. Truly tragic.

The pregnant lady over here would gladly meet up with you for a coffee (really an herbal tea) ... Friday afternoon works well for me close to Recoletta or Barrio Norte. 2 dogs in a foreign country, you've got your hands full!

Hmmm interesting, just wondering how "foreign" names are interpreted. I get it about nutty parents and names ...: There's a girl in Rio de Janeiro named "Umbrella" ... if you don't speak English it may sound like a pretty name

Wait ... what do you mean ALLOWED??? You mean suggested or common names right? Is there a baby name police here?

She crossed over to Chile yesterday ... may have been held up in immigration/customs without internet access ... good news! http://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/index.ssf/2013/04/missing_university_of_oregon_g.html#incart_river

Seriously? Different governments ... different rules for immigration. You can be born in Israel or Germany and not be a citizen. In Argentina if a foreign couple has a baby here everyone receives residency/citizenship. I think it's fine to compare different governments immigration policies but...

http://secondstorybuenosaires.com meets once a month. A bit more on the storytelling side, but I'm sure it will help you get your feet wet here. Suerte!

I totally know what you mean ... acelga is way too high in sodium for my taste. I'm having seeds sent to me from the US so I can grow my own... I'll let you know when I harvest ;)

I don't know of any other city in the world that is as "adopted" as New York City. People claim to be NYers after only living there 1 year, or say they're from NY when they've only lived there a few years. Please someone enlighten me if there are other cities that people are as quick to adopt...

http://rendezvous.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/03/21/the-dark-side-of-the-expat-life/ The comments are really insightful in this piece. This is the 3rd country I've lived in outside of the US and I definitely agree that those people that are "running away" from a trauma in their home country or are...

Awesome, I'm going to check out New Garden and hope it does the trick. I can't put my finger on what the problem is with the integral here ... if it's the bleaching or because it isn't stone ground ... but there is a difference. My whole wheat tortillas and pancakes have been a major fail with...

Nikad, I'm in Casa China all the time and I've never seen it ... guess I have to look harder? Have you seen it fresh or dried? Thanks!

I've been looking for over a year and can't seem to find real whole wheat flour. Countless dieticas and no one seems to have anything besides "integral" which is not it. In the US I use King Arthur. I know it's here somewhere because Hausebrot has whole "wheatish" looking bread. Any help...

We went to Farmacity and bought the Evatest I believe it was called ... results in 5 min no matter what time of day and it was less than $30 pesos and we were thrilled to see a positive sign! Best of luck!
