    When I move here what special things should I bring that are hard to get?

    Buy a makeup sponge and use liquid hand soap. I clean my glasses once a day this way. You need to dry with clean tissue, but it gets everything off.

    When I move here what special things should I bring that are hard to get?

    I actually buy my underwear here, I suppose it is all about taste. I cannot get birdseed anywhere, you go in pet food shops and its cats and dogs only. I don't suppose you can even get hamster food.

    Quarantine envy

    I am lucky to have a partner and am able to dance at home. It is not the same though, I miss the milongas and all the lovely ladies I dance with.

    Refrigerator recommendations?

    When I moved in I bought he cheapest Patrick fridge. I don't know who or how, but the freezer compartment door was broken and the main door also got broken. I patched it up and still carried on using it. I got eleven years of use from it. I have now replaced it with a Gafa. My only advice would...

    Customer service - lack of

    Back to the UK again, my friend took his very old clock to an expensive Jewellers in Chester. The girl there turned her nose up. He was a smart guy, he said to her "Love, I don't work in a shop"

    Customer service - lack of

    You must remember that Argentines are Italians who speak Spanish and want to be British, so you must accept British levels of customer service.

    5G is coming to Argentina

    Personally I am more concerned about the pollution from vehicles. Every day there is a film of black on the floors of my apartment. you are more likely to die of lung cancer or Copd. Studies have shown that if you live close to a major highway you are ten times more likely to get Alzheimer's...

    5G has a range of about one kilometer. People in my country are buying phones with 5G, Most places do not even receive a 1st gen signal. It is all hype to make the stupid buy more phones. Take a look at a map of my country and decide...

    Tango me....

    I agree with Medialuna, many of the group classes will not teach the fundementals, how to walk, how to lead, how to deal with a follower who does not get what you have led, how to deal with different music. The list goes on, most will just teach you moves. Sorry I cannot help more as I did most...

    Try Azimo, the rate is better than any Bank or Cambio. You pick the money up at a local office.

    What Latin American Countries have normal, working mail service?

    This may be the case, in theory. But as you know the law here is all in the eyes of the interpreter. Last year our friend sent us several copies of The Week and they ended up stuck in customs. The next lot arrived safely.

    When will property be cheap in Buenos Aires?

    Again that was my understanding, but knowing how things here change by the day and by whoever you are dealing with at the time, my stance is to just ignore it until the time comes. What you say is probably true today my information is ten years old, who knows what will be the case when I come to...

    When will property be cheap in Buenos Aires?

    You are the guy that knows Perry, but I can't help but wonder at all the constructors. Surely they expect to sell? Many have held on to plots since 2001 and are now building. There are three vacant plots on my block alone now being built on. I would be interested in your take on this.
