Well it is not normal, and it sucks for you because of the substantial cost of sending money by Western Union. The reason she does this is because she does not have a Merchant Credit Card account (which is complicated for her being a small business), and has not bothered to open a PayPal account...

I am organizing a meet-up place for various webfriends who are football fanatics from elsewhere to meet before the various matches in La Plata and the final in River for the COPA AMERICA in July this year. Can anyone tell me a cheap bar, or kiosko with tables and beer, both near River Stadium...

If Semana Santa weekend, the Wednesday to Sunday night, assume you will have 7 to 8 hour delays at the border, especially at either end. Probaly less, but there have been instances of 12 hour delays in the past.

Just don´t rent to or from these kinds of characters: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qsclhKhAss

Interesting Stevie-poo, but you need your own webpage with a bitchslap function!;)

John, I completely agree with you buddy. The informality, chaos and backwardness here is actually charming and relaxing, and welcome at our late stages in life, as long as we can maintain our patience. It is a place for people with more past than future, I would never raise a family here besides...

Great idea in terms of solidifying the info oft asked for and oft repeated. Problem is, put 10 baexpats in a room, and you get 25 different opinions, there would be multi-ammending and arguing all the time. We can be a pretty fractious group. Get the ball rolling, perhaps ask for volunteers...

An interesting article from Los Andes in Mendoza, about the carnaval, which includes some history. Apparently the carnaval was quite common before the military coup, but the military snuffed out many of the festivities, and now the custom is returning to much of Argentina. Tonight, in Mendoza...

Ear rings are big here as presents. Any jewellry really, does not matter about the cost. Something feminine, they appreciate anything feminine here even if it is not exactly their taste. Little lions or something with a British symbol. Not roses particularly, because there are lots of roses...

If you plan to buy with cash always ask for a discount, it is the practice here. You should get anywhere from 5 to 10 %, maybe more if you are lucky.

I do not think it is fair to judge all football players that way. Yes, there are jerks, but not a greater percentage than the general population. It is just that they are in the news. However, some are very good human beings. I have meet quite a few professional football players, and many...

ON VIDEO http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BJofRcg8IQ The fact that the bird was the mascot of the opposing team, lived at the stadium and had just been previously injured by a ball makes it particularly dispicable.

"- It's an excuse for locals to get drunk, and for some reason pretend to be Irish for the day - I haven't worked out why yet." hahaha SOUNDS LIKE THE TYPICAL YANKEES AND CANCUKS :)

Happpens occaisonally in Mendoza that bars are closed for "sanidad" (health inspection reasons,) , tho I have it on good authourity that usually it is because bribes have not been paid to the various bureaucrats in the municipality. From my observations of the kitchens and other parts of the...

The beach immediatley in San Juan del Sur is a bit polluted, go to the beaches out of town. Also, the sea is a bit dangerous there because of the currents, altho warmer than Chile. It is a surfer's paradise. The best beaches in terms of swimming, snorkeling and diving are on the Carribean side...

I am not a medical doctor, but have done health volunteer work throughout Latin America. False medication apart, I am amazed at how much female menstruation pain relief is marketed with such hype here. Ibuprofen is ibuprofen, but if it is marketed and packaged as feminine, they mark up the...

I am sorry. There is no evidence the US supported Hitler in 1933, The US has done a lot of bad things, especially in Latin America, but what you have stated is a complete fiction. When the population is induced to support a corrupt regime like the Kirchners through lies, violence and...

The Universidad Nacional de Cordoba has an MBA program in English, and I believe there are also MBA programs in English in BA too. That is the only type of University programs in English in Argentina I am aware of. Around the world, only MBA programs in English, or mainly in English, have any...
