    The Argentine Quilt Theory.

    Yes those capitalist pigs, how dare they gouge the proletariat like this! The shop keepers aren't far too greedy, it's the government that's far too greedy! The reason prices keep rising is because there is currency to pay them. Last year Sturzenegger started to change that and we saw (and...

    Making The Move In February! Tips Please! :)

    This story is totally ridiculous you know. You're in New York, the language spoken is English. The menu behind the employee's head lists Caffe Latte under espresso drinks and does not include plain milk anywhere and when he uses just the word latte, which in English ( the language most often...

    Filtro Agua

    Any activated carbon filter will take care of the chlorine taste which is what is disagreeable about tap water. If you want to remove Fluorides because of the Russians, you'll need a reverse osmosis filter which are quite a bit more expensive.
