    Kids bikes?

    In my neighborhood, Belgrano, there are a lot of good places to get bikes for kids. There's one on Monroe called Green Line, I think it's between Cuba and Vuelta de Obligado and another one on the block before, Cuba and Arcos. I might be off by a block but not more than that. What surprised...

    'stuffing around'? South African English?

    Hi expats, an Argentine friend asked me recently if I knew the meaning of the expression 'stuffing around,' as in 'the company is stuffing around,' in a slangy business sense, I guess. This isn't anything I've ever heard in the US, but he was talking with someone in South Africa, so that's not...

Ask about the soy/rice milk, you can get unsweetened or heavily sweetened soy milk. The rice milk is made with peanuts (?) but I...

    Expat Pets in Buenos Aires

    starlucia, I'm completely on your side as far as neutering animals, 100%, with the number of unwanted animals killed in 'shelters' as the result of their owner's irresponsibility/bizarre ideas about 'nature', there is no excuse for not neutering/spaying. bebero, you don't really think your...
