There is a man and his wife who have their mobile restaurant under General Paz at Liniers. They make a mean choripan almost any time of day - they even supply HOT chilli (as well as chimichurri). If you want to sit down though you just have to make sure you get the table that has the chairs...

Trying living in Africa as a white person some time! I guarantee you, it's something else! (although probably in the reverse to the situation you described). Africans (I should say SOME Africans, definitely not all of them) can be astonishingly racist towards and about each other - anyone...

I think it is less brazen here in Argentina than in many, many other parts of the world. Here they still provide infrastructure, street lighting, garbage delivery, paved roads, piped water etc. etc. even if they steal from the people at the same time. In some places, the ruling...

Not sure if they've given out all of them, but I was in Caballito yesterday and saw half a food court full of kids all using their identical little netbooks!

Makes it sound like it gives the water magic fairy properties. ;) I like how the Dutch ask if you would like your drink 'with gas', or 'without gas'. I wasn't quite sure how to take that the first time I heard it (well, without gas preferably, but I would still like it fizzy - can you do...

Argentina is the third world? I can't imagine what you would make of Africa and Asia then, for example.

Ooh, and I really miss baked beans. A full English breakfast sounds great right about now, too.

I saw rhubarb a couple of times in Almagro when I lived there... I don't know the exact address of the verdelueria sorry, but it was on Rivadavia about a block down from Mario Bravo/Masa (heading towards town). They didn't always have rhubarb though. And that was about three months ago when I...

I have finally got my blog in some kind of functional order for the sale of all the stuff in my apartment. It is: http://mueblesenventa.wordpress.com/ It is basically a deceased estate, so pretty much everything falls into the retro or antique kind of category, so not everything is a bargain...

Both of my sisters have psoriasis (two different forms of it!) with one sister having it worse than the other, and she has been living with it for the last 15 years or so. I don't know that there is any cure/remedy for it, it's a matter of managing the symptoms of it (at least, that has been...

I know at least one kid who goes to school in a 'troubled' area and they have ridiculous amounts of funding from the government. They each even get their own laptop (!), have the latest technological gadgetry in the classrooms (eg. interactive whiteboards) and all kinds of amazing...

woah, have you seen any of the footage? I have seen quite the opposite! But I guess you are just being a bigbadwolf and trying to shit stir.

i was watching BBC online and amidst the reports about the problems in the UK there was news of student riots in Chile. I thought it 'amusing' that the students in Chile had actually been able to tell the government what it was they were upset about and what they were hoping the government...

I haven't read all the replies although tend to agree with one comment I read about the kids there knowing nothing about what poverty and going without really means. (I have also lived, and visited many times, almost all the places I have read about there being problems in the UK, mostly the...

I don't know how helpful this is going to be, but there is a place in Caseros (just outside of Capital) where they are selling some although I don't know the price for the hard ones. They have some padded soft ones for $70-$80 - which if that is way cheaper than other soft cases you might have...

Wow, three hours from Congreso? I never knew. I caught it (there and back) from Almagro and it took slightly over an hour.

Sorry for the delay in replying to you Ashley. Someone had already offered to buy the wine glasses when you had written and so I was waiting to see what was happening with that before wanting to say anything more about them. They are now actually sold. Sorry. I am located in Liniers, right...

I have taken the number 8 bus before. I guess it depends how much luggage you have, and what time of day you are getting the bus. If you are able to get on the bus when there isn't too many people it shouldn't be too bad to find a place for it all. Just try to make yourself as compact as...

I am interested, however I need a little more detail first eg. length of course, days etc., before I can make a final decision - but I would LIKE to join the class. I tried calling the number you have above this afternoon, although they gave me (well, my husband) a different number to call...

cool. thank you.
