    Why Santiago del Estero?? (My sister in law is from there, I've been there -- driving. I wouldn't do it again.)

    Thoughts About Cordoba

    Starbucks is good for free wi-fi. In Argentina we buy their coffee beans as they are decent and a reasonable price. Their drinks though are basically expensive milk, and baked goods expensive for what they are. But when you need wi-fi, there's always Starbucks!

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

    On the recommends here we started Narcos, it's entertaining but the dialogue is stilted -- the writing is not great. Too much reliance on narration -- a calling card of drug movies used with varying success -- ie Goodfellas without narration wouldn't have been Goodfellas, it added so much to...

    What Is So Great About Miami?

    Worse than the Miami obsession, I do NOT understand the Orlando/Disney World obsession. I know adults who went there on their honeymoon before they even had kids. I know people who have toddlers and have already gone multiple times. I mean once if you happen to be in Florida, maybe I understand...

    Private School Has Failed My Family

    Rickulivi -- While I"m in agreement in theory with some of your comments I have to say there is an ENORMOUS difference between classroom behaviour expected by 20 somethings and that of 5 year olds -- which is how old the student in question is -- and as the parent said -- just turned 5. In...

    Private School Has Failed My Family

    I would post your same question on the Buenos Aires Mummy Group on Facebook (there are some dads in the group too!) -- Theres hundreds of parents in the group with kids in different schooling situations here and you'll probably get some useful answers (as well as some useless ones). Are you in...

    Good Place For Teenagers?

    A friend of mine has catalogued her experiences raising twins on her blog. It's a hilarious read, but actually very realistic. Be prepared -- adolescence in Argentina is nothing like the UK! However, I'm not sure if it's in the following post or another that she talks about the group mentality...

    Good Tea

    Heredia has a decent Earl Grey and it's become my standby tea that doesn't require me spending a fortune on imported Twinings... Green Hills, Lipton, Taragui, and Virginia all need about 3 tea bags to make a decent cup. Recently I found Delhi Tea and bought their Indian Chai and it is good...

    Getting To Know Buenos Aires By Motorbike

    If you don't have to go Nazca, it's much faster to go up Beiro to Constituyentes, when you hit Mosconi/Olazabal Constituyentes is closed due to construction, so you take right on Olazabal, left Ceretti, through the tunnel all the way Ceretti past Congreso, keep going, at Larralde you can turn...

    More Government Interference, This Time Radio

    In canada it is 35 or 40% of all content on the radio. It means we end up with endless repeats of songs that no one should ever be subjected to. I was Born to be Wild but there's only so much CanCon I can take before I need to Take Care of Business. And you Ain't seen Nothin yet -- I've heard...

    Cigarette Prices At Different Kiosks

    You've obviously not spent the last dying days with a lung cancer patient. I have. My aunt died of it last year, she was 77, which maybe is a long life but when you're at the tail end of it, it will seem like it went by in a flash and you always want more more more. She had a horrible bronchitis...

    Adidas makes the uniforms so you might try there, at least they should be able to tell you whether or not they even make them in child sizes. On the site they only have the girls size 6+ up for now. http://www.adidas.com.ar/camiseta-de-las-leonas-2014-2015-ninas/M34331.html

    Ars Required For Family Of Four

    School tuitions notoriously increase, I always say best to find a place that is comfortably within your budget, not at the highest limit, as the tuitions can increase as much as 35-40% a year, while salaries often don`t match that increase. Edited to add: And don`t forget about the Insane...
