    Spices in Argentina

    chinos are regular grocery stores, they are everywhere.. Just little chinese own supermarkets/corner shops... the thing i usually bring is curry powder, as the stuff you can buy here is crap.. its smells like curry powder, looks like curry powder, but it has no bite, and has a weak flavour...

    Medellin

    I dont know about better looking, but they are way more sexier, and their attitude is great, very friendly.. The cost of living is better - fruit/veg is alot cheaper, most other stuff is cheaper or no more expensive than BSAS. Plus the supermarkets have a way better range of food. Renting...

    Converting to Spanish Keyboard

    If i understand you correctly - you dont need to convert anything, just set your keyboard to USA International, then you can get the ó/ü/í/é etc keys.. ' + e/i/o/u = é/í/ó/ú " + u = ü ~ + n = ñ ALT + ? = ¿ I think thats all thats needed...

    Attempted mugging near the Abasto

    I am inclined to think they singled you out because your wife was with you, and that you are more likely not to put up a fight or will be distracted keeping your wife safe... I agree that these little pieces of crap should be delt with, put in jail or something similar as if they get away with...

    I know someone who was denigned entry when trying to get on the boat in coloina, however she then tried again the next day and had no problems.. She had been on tourist visa for years, had a deportation order against her, but was in and out of the country a couple of times a year. I wonder if...

    Is anyone else having serious trouble with Telecentro right now.

    I noticed that there were alot of hops just in argentina when i traced some routes a couple of years ago. In NZ its usually 1 hop to the backbone and then straight to the USA. Here it was 8 hops i think to the USA, with a few in arg, as it if was going from one telco backbone to another to...

    Is anyone else having serious trouble with Telecentro right now.

    And the google DNS servers ips are: 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 And you can just add them as backups so if the telcos DNS servers cant be found your computer/router will lookup googles.

    YPF Nationalized

    I can understand not wanting to say, i was interested to know what field you operate in more than anything. And i also understand there is alot of potential here to make money, especially agri related fields. And if you are an importer of goods and services, it would have been easy up until...

    Is anyone else having serious trouble with Telecentro right now.

    I think this is the way the internet is set up here, the amount of hops to the site you are connecting to and where traffic is routed via, and whether that server is in arg/south america or not. I have problems with skype or remotely connecting to my servers in NZ from here, but in colombia and...

    YPF Nationalized

    I would tend to think this is a more likely outcome. Even though the big oil companies dont care about alot of stuff, and go where they can make money, at the end of the day they want to make money, and after what has happened with YPF i very much doubt if they would be willing to take the risk...

    YPF Nationalized

    If it is the case of 100% tax on oil over $40 a barrel, i can understand why YPF hasnt been investing in argentina if what the gov says is true. I have worked for a couple of oil companies, and some discovered deposits than had been drilled would be capped to be developed at a later date as the...

    YPF Nationalized

    I find it very interesting with what has happened with YPF and the way its happened. I can remember reading some articles about the sale of YPF and that before it was sold it was just a big corrupt cash cow for the staff and politicains, that bled money. Employees where setting up false supply...

    Bringing Electronics into ARG from the States

    It is the luck of the draw now, as they scan all bags, which wasnt the case a year or so ago. If you have a foreign passport that also helps, as i brought back a sewing machine for a friend from colombia, and had a whole of electronic crap in my bags, which the customs guy was interested in, but...

    Subte linea D / Monthly expenses

    From what i have been told, palermo starts at av coronel diaz, goes along cordoba until dorrego, then kind of zig-zags its way down to the river. The reason i know this that when i live pueyrredon and charcas i would tell locals i lived in palermo and was told that i actually lived in recoleta...
