I think it has been revived :lol: Over in the Paraguay vs Argentina thread....

Anyone who says this is a troll or an idiot. Or has never actually set foot in Argentina. Villa 31 and a nice area (read Recoleta) is just a difference in rent and restaurants. Yeah, sure. Have fun living in the villa then with your 3 kids and your nanny that looks after them for months at a...

Yes but can I say, this really happens to every expat place eventually, there is always some new-hot-cheap place "where you can live like a king" around the corner. People move in while things are cheap, when they can leverage their (sometimes fixed) incomes from the USA and live a life they...

No. The coast here is nothing like Spain, the water is never going to be that warm and you are never going to find towns as old or charming. The coast here is bitterly cold and mostly abandoned for about 10 months of the year. Even the more wealthy / established towns are pretty sad in the off...

The OP says they are looking for a 2 year lease of a studio -- that probably means they have seen studios advertised for 6000, which is perfectly possible. The problem is, if OP doesn`t have someone to give them a garantia, and doesn`t have a legitimate job as an employee which provides them...

I make crepes every couple of weeks and put them in the freezer with wax paper / separadores between them. I am not a fan of fluffy pancakes, crepes all the way (which is actually what most Porteno panqueques are): http://www.frenchtoday.com/blog/les-crepes-de-la-chandeleur-recipe If you want...

I personally would say Palermo or Las Canitas over Recoleta.

Stay away from Britspain. There are much better towns!

Having traveled through the Middle East rather extensively prior to 2001, I can say alcohol is not verboten, it's just a matter of of how far you are willing to walk to find it (in Damascus we once went about 11km before happening upon a bar that just happened to be the site of an 18th birthday...

The US President-elect says that American airports are worse than those of 3rd world countries, and as we all know, Trump speaks the truth 100% of the time!

Haha maybe the cat was trying to tell you to cut back on your ipad use... Seriously though, have you tried the Oxy spray they have here? There is the pink one, Vanish, but in the same section of the grocery store there is Oxy I think from Mr Musculo. It comes in spray and in powder. You might...

Zolvers is the closest equivalent. They screen people. I haven`t investigated the full range of services available. Whereabouts in Pilar are you?

I personally know of at least 3 people who taught / are teaching in Taiwan with fake degrees, one of them I`m seriously not even sure if he finished high school.

Unemployment soared in Alberta with the oil crash. They are celebrating Trump there because it will mean the return of Keystone XL, Alberta will boom again. As usually Alberta is the only place in Canada celebrating a Republican win...

I have friends who gave birth in public hospitals. Maybe they don`t have the leather couches, swimming pool, HD tvs of some of the private places (who on earth is using the swimming pool anyway??) but the doctors are good. If you have left this up to two weeks before you are due, I hope you have...

I`m not sure about private teachers, but there is the Goethe Institute here: https://www.goethe.de/ins/ar/es/sta/bue/kur.html

What kind of prescription do you use? (keeping in mind that making a -3 or -5 is a much different question than my -10 and -11.5. For mine I had a frame from Canada and got the lenses made at Foucault, an optician that specialises in complex vision issues -- ie for those of us that can`t walk...

Illia is full of speed traps, that`s why everyone slows down. Also you will see that people migrate to the outer lanes to avoid the camera. The only place people obey limits is where the speed traps are. What drives me nuts and are more dangerous are the people going 90km in the 130km lane out...

In your head you may have said that, but it wasn't included in your post :D

Really? I think the quality is going way down hill with every week that progresses. It is clickbait journalism with more and more content produced by interns with extremely little experience and time in the country and/or latin america. It's unfortunate, it started out very promising but the...
