YES! there are small scorpions here!! Instead of being called "escorpion" they call them ALACRAN. Very rare to see them but they can show up generally in undeveloped, sandy areas. Also near beaches or the coast. Have seen 1 or 2 around BA, and some more in Punta del Este, Uruguay.

You should tell the landlord you are doing it and sharing half the cost with him-her, which you will deduct from the following rent where you will provide them will the receipt for the work. I´am a landlord here and I always have accepted (FULL) payment for many improvements suggested by my...

As usual, very little time to make plans but this time I have nothing else lined up, so I´ll, likely be there. Cheers

We used to take ours by car. You could walk them down in the vehicle bay, (bodega) during the trip. If not she would sleep in the car, with the windows cracked open for some fresh air. There may have been people, walking their dog on board, but can´t be sure.Why don´t you just call or go to...

Too bad. So little time to program. I already have 2 other dinners/parties that day. Well, maybe in January things will be slower. Cheers, Joe

You can bring your old tools with you flying in from abroad, as any other personal property. If it´s evident they are not brand new, or still packaged for sale, and you state they are for your own personal use, you won´t get hassled. It may not be 100% legal, but if you work "a domicilio"...

A good place for you guys to meet up first is at the Club Europeo. It´s downtown, off Puerto Madero (near Retiro and the La Plata highway), and has a great view of the city from the 21st floor! You can just meet at the bar, no need to be a member to enter. Or you can participate in the...

Hi MR, Welcome back to BA! Just an honest question: Why have you been registered for the past 2 years but just now started to post? Have you just arrived back, or were you already here but too busy resettling? You are very well motivated to help expats, so you might as well come by to the...

Club Europeo has a French conversation group every Wednesday from 7pm to 9pm.

Yes Dave: We´ll take 2 bags of ice. See you later! Joe

From what I´ve heard recently, water births are being shunned by doctors in BA, because of the complicactions and risks of infection to the baby and/or mother. It´s that even when starting off with clean water, it can become quite contaminacted by the blood. But also, during labor, mothers tend...

I will have to cancel most other members of my party. That means we won´t be taking any salads. For people who have not been to Dave´s I can convey my observations that drinks usually abound, and so do desserts But salads are always lacking. Argentine asados are mainly the meat and salads...

I´ve been to several of Dave´s BBQs and nobody has ever taken any child. Maybe because we are mostly singles or couples with no kids. Either way as Dave once said, it´s a great place but VERY unsafe for kids. I wouldn´t let any child roam around the house or garden alone since there are...
