    Construction Noise ... Can I Complain?

    They worked until 1am last night with a jackhammer, I've discovered how annoying the hum if a generator can be. I think something happened during the evening because they're working today with very few workers. It's funny, the construction is right in front of a building that has 24hour police...

    Construction Noise ... Can I Complain?

    I'm in Barrio Norte and a hi-rise is being built a few doors down. They start hammering lightly at 6:30am, at 7:30am it's full on ... it's 9:30PM and they're still at it. Last night I heard soft hammering at 1am. The way these men are working it's like the pyramids are being built for a...

    Pc Specialist

    What editing software are you using? I'm sure you checked that the software and laptop specs would work together before you purchased it. I cut in Premiere CS5 and sometimes a simple thing as a super large photo/image will give you an error message of "Not enough memory." Try to create a new...

    I've been here nearly a year, I know there's no equivalents in BsAs but there's always a "version" of :). I'll bike over there now. Definitely need more the crafty side than BsAs "art store," I'll wait until I go home for the holidays.

    Twilight Zone

    A "nice house" in a FAVELA in Rio is about $45,000US. I saw this listing this morning and think that Detroit may become like Prague in the '90's for many Americans. TRULY unbelievable. A city with such a strong musical legacy has to bounce back...

Not only because of the visas, but Buenos Aires is more accustomed to immigrants, whereas Brasil is now really beginning...

    volunteering in BA

    My boyfriend has been volunteering for years in the Villas, but he's Argentine. You will have difficulty securing "short-term" volunteer work that is of the substance you're looking for because most organizations that are really doing good things, want someone super long-term, especially if...

    Set alight by her husband. Why is this happening time and again in Argentina?

    Crazy people are everywhere, to say that domestic violence is a Latin American problem is "loco." I pray for both these women and hope their husbands can get some serious mental help. http://news.yahoo.com/fla-woman-doused-gas-set-fire-7-eleven-175950777.html If you have kids, give them a hug...
