    Sick of Malbec?!?!

    Haha, LOL, just because I live in Mendoza doesn´t make me a wine expert, although I do try to broaden my horizons. I believe the variety you refer to is that type which grows well in cool wet climates, the CONCORD, the little blue variety with the somewhat sour but great taste, that favorite...

    Starting a company on a an Argentine friends D.N.I

    Obviously, what Vah is trying to do is be able to do small jobs at whatever, and for those clients who demand it (as opposed to being paid "under-the-table"), he can give necessary documentation demanded by the client when he is paid. The "business" is probably small, and I suspect is only for a...

    The Nanny

    Susannah Gimenez. :) .....actually, apart from the burlesque nature of the action, the notion of over/underdressing and fashion is very popular here. It was explained to me that the reason Friends and 2 1/2 Men are so popular is not because of the dialogue (one well-written, the other just...

    Traveling anyone?

    Go to a travel agency and sign her up for a bus tour? The Agrie bus tours for Argies are pretty fun and well organized, and a great value. She could meet some great Argies, and even if she does not know Spanish, some of them are bound to speak English. The only tourble is that it is double...

    Is there an affordable, secure way to ship stuff abroad from ARG?

    Perhaps people should advise about the problems with customs (Aduana) shipping even used personal items out, as opposed to personal baggage. I have not done this first-hand, but the problems with Argentinean customs people have shared with me make me shudder. You may find that selling or giving...

    With respect, this is not like Spain where non-Spanish-speakers can find jobs. Spanish is essential.

    Argentinas loss makes us introspective

    A doctor doing open heart surgery after only doing superficial stitches "doesn’t deserve anything but praise" as well? Nothing to do with cultural heritage, France did not advance because of Domeneches foolishness, England should have won easily in 2002 except for Erikson's in-match lack of...
