    This Is Argentina

    Massa won't support Scioli unless he wants to put an end to any progress the Frente Renovador has managed to make in the past few years. It has been all about him trying to say he's different than the FpV and building his base beyond, well, Tigre. If he now supports Scioli, he will be throwing a...

    The Kiss And Hug Greeting

    LOL Gringoboy, greetings in your circle of friends must be pretty full on if they qualify as snogging!

    The Kiss And Hug Greeting

    The language and kissing or mate are extremely different things. If you live in a country a long time and don't make an effort to learn the language that gets you a bad rep anywhere around the world (ie USA prime example "here we speak American").

    Colonias And Other Options Por Ninos In December

    Colonias won`t be an option but after spending ages looking for activities for my child for saturday mornings I can tell you that while there are few saturday activities, there are a tonne of options for activities during the week starting around 3pm. Have you thought of something like theatre...

    Colegio Nacional De Buenos Aires ?

    Latin`s not bad. Supposedly Caecilius and Metella are still doing ok. Pity about that volcano. Spoiler alert: Cerberus doesn`t make it out alive. I think the chef (Brumio?) is drunk through the whole thing.

    Yay, Bras! (Ugh)

    Your best bet here is probably going to be Triumph. Be prepared to pay a lot more than abroad. Triumph seems to be the only ones that do cup sizes here, everywhere else seems to just expand cup size only when circumference expands. I`ve been here 10 years and I always stock up on bras when...

    Real Proper Mature Scottish Cheddar Imported From Glasgow!!!

    Choirs of angels singing. I suppose it's too much to ask for some 5 year aged?

    Fresh Milk And What They Put In It.

    Milk and dairy products are actually highly supervised here, and they are very stringent about bacterial limits. Where the problems come are not at the manufacturing plants but in the supermarkets (yes we've all heard the tales of the chinos turning off the fridges at night). Processing plants...

    Fresh Milk And What They Put In It.

    Natural Milk Calcium Concentrate -- ie they have upped the calcium in the milk using calcium derived from milk not other sources (ie fish bones, rocks, shellfish, eggshells etc etc).

    Fresh Milk And What They Put In It.

    Ok but to be honest it says right there on the front the "aceite de maiz" and it's marketed as "NutriEquilibrio: Aporte equilibrado(? can't quite see) de energia" -- any time there is "energy" in the name of a product you can pretty much guarantee it's Corn Syrup or Corn something or other. I'd...

    Fresh Milk And What They Put In It.

    I've got 2 bags of Leche La Serenisima in the fridge right now -- one the parcialmente descremada B9 con calcio agregado, and the other with additional Iron. Both of them list the ingredients as "leche parcialmente descremada" followed by on the B9 lactado de calcio - vitaminas A, B9, C y D; and...

    Getting Real Estate Sale Money Out Of The Country Legally?

    Gringoboy is right -- this is why the Merval crashed last week. The brokerage firms were essentially given a 48hrs heads up that friday would be the last day for trading at the CCL rate and that from now on all trades will be converted using the official rate. I'll be honest, I have not read the...

    Leaving The Country With Kids (And Money)

    Actually no, they can confiscate the entirety of what you are carrying -- ie if you are carrying 60k and don't declare it and they find it, they can take the 60k -- it's supposed to be that they can take it until you present papers to verify legitimate origin of funds, at which point they return...

    Help Me Read A Quote For A Wp Site

    What are they doing for you? Installing a custom template? Major customisations? Or just install WP and setting up a couple of sample entries? With WP there can be a tonne of customisation and add-ons or it can be as simple as taking one of the standard WP freebie templates, putting in a logo...

    Thoughts On Lan Argentina To/from Dallas?

    I doubt you'll be on a LAN plane -- it's probably a codeshare with AA. What are the flight details (time of departure). The AA plane doing the routes have been replaced with new planes, unfortunately while the media system is great the seats were extremely uncomfortable for me.

    What Are You Watching On Netflix? Was It Any Good?

    1)It's Colombian spanish (mostly) -- they speak slower and it is considered the most neutral form of Latin American Spanish 2) Pedro Pascal is Chilean but after growing up in the USA had to relearn Spanish. 3) Walter Moura is Brasilian and had to learn spanish for the series -- so he speaks...

    Anyone Used The Service "miami A Tu Casa" ??

    Yes I was confused about that as well -- I thought after you hit your 25 USD limit per year you have to apply for an import license?

    Going From Peru To Bolivia To Argentina?

    If you're not backpackers, don't do Bolivia -- it has some of the most dangerous roads on the continent, if not the world. Go back via Chile. Or just go spend some time at the AA offices and get them to try and find you dates with one free ticket and one paid ticket that isn't crazy expensive...

    Starbucks Vs A Good Old Cafeteria.

    Use cream of tartar to stabilize -- same as a meringue.

    Starbucks Vs A Good Old Cafeteria.

    It depends on if you like a good coffee or no. If you like good coffee you wouldn't go to either frankly. Starbucks beans are ok but their coffees are expensive milk. Most traditional cafeterias burn the crap out of their coffee and it's intomable. If you like a good coffee go to any of the...
