    American dollar predictions

    Oh I hope not, could you imagine the immediate havoc it can cause the real estate sales and transaction in Buenos Aires will be without the US dollar? If say this "collapse" happens tomorrow?! I shudder to think, no?

    Bras: big cup sizes

    I agree with Celia on this one. Bring all your supplies with you. Especially the brands that you like (comfort, fit ) because it is better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it. Cheers!

    300 Restaurants have closed in recent months

    steveinbsas, I think life can be good wherever you are, WHEN (and not IF) you make it good. Coz regardless of where you are, there you will be, and Life is what you make of it. In the US if you use coupons, membership cards and make the most of sales, you can do the grocery for less money than...

    US health care; saga of a sick expat

    Hi Sergio. I hope you are feeling better. Speaking from experience (I have Argentina health insurance) when my ear infection went amok on me after a long flight to the US. I made a phonecall to a Miami-based office that facilitated my visit to an urgent care center (since I was not bleeding...

    Make-up

    SFGirl, mac (e/s) and mac pro are still the best in pigmentation and application but Regina comes fairly close to pigment in comparison (for lesser money). I am not familiar with their ingredients though. Selection is very limited and not too many options (matte, lustre,etc.) it is worth a try...
