I agree with Steve about the Argentine Consulates. I dealt with the one in NYC and Atlanta (as we moved during the process). The NYC one was "on it", (called us back, set up appointment in a week, very knowledgeable, pretty good website). Atlanta we were the first ones applying under the new...

That doesn't sound good. LOL. Thanks for the suggestions, I will check them out.

@MizzMarr: Where? I have been looking in preparation for "El Dia de Turkey" as my friend says. I have a small-ish oven so the 20lbs "freakishly large bird" would not work anyway.

Went to Aqua Vite years ago when it was Evian Day Spa....I think they are the same place..it was amazing!!! I cannot wait for it to reopen!!! walk in is good, any day spa suggestions as well? massage, jacuzzi, etc.? After days of dealing with a 1 year old, we need a day (or at least 4 hours)

Anyone have a suggestion(s) for a good Pescaderia/Fish Mongerer? It would be great if it is near my home (Plaza Serano area), but I am willing to travel. A place that also has a nice selection of shellfish, shrimp etc, would be great too. I have not explored the home cooking fish options as...

Online: "Where Men are Men, Women are Men and girls are the FBI."

Thank you all for the help. I took the "easy way" out and had a friend that speaks Spanish call and pay the bill over the phone with my International credit card. And she explained (as you have pointed out) that I can set it up to "auto-debit" from now on. So I am going to set that up as...

Unfotunately, I don't have an account here...that's part of the problem.

So we recently received our first OSDE bill and was wondering how or what is the best way to pay the bill? A friend said you can pay it right in the bank so you do not have to have a "mobster wad" of cash on you as you exit the building? Is that true do you need a local bank account? Can...

Everyone knows that Daylight Savings Time is simply a result of business lobbies

If you will see my original post i said: "protection of familial manse", the high pitched screeching of the slightly larger than gigantic rodent canine is not Protection. Much like the car alarm, or the mine shaft canary these noise makers do nothing but annoy and once detected instill laughter...

This sounds like the bar equivalent of: "You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here" Thanks for clearing up this confusion. (although I am sure there is at least another 162 posts to follow that will sufficiently "muddy the waters" enough to lead to another thread being started in 4...

I think this is a function of several factors. One is the internet and the ability of many people with significant jobs able to work remotely, or just have jobs they can always do remotely so there is less emphasis on having to be in a fixed location. Two, i think is a positive sign for the...

I am in the same situation, but really just would like a "day trip" early morning and back by night (maybe some nice restaurant on a hill outside the City or something.) Family/baby friendly would be great. So far only been as far as San Isidro but a friend is coming next week and want to do...

Well, I "just got here" in terms of the expat experience, and so sure it is early to tell. But I will say that "kid culture" here is vastly superior to that which I left in NYC. I have seen things in the park that would just never happen back home where apparently every child is a "genius"...

Yeah the bakery was thinking of was Celigourmet. Also, I as in Barrio Chino and this place Casa China (kind of a supermarket) had gluten free noodles and pastas.

Pretty sure I have seen regular white bread "gluten free". One of the National brands Fango. I will double check next trip to the store. Also there is a Gluten free bakery (I was told its a chain of like 2 or 3) on Thames btwn Honduras and El Salvador, but it looks like mostly desserts, but...

If your Spanish is truly rudimentary or nonexistent, I suggest you use the Google translate to at least write something down for the receptionist along the lines of "I need to see X type of doctor (x=orthopedics, oncologist, whatever), that speaks English." Unless you get a specific Doctor's...

For your enjoyment: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/21/nyregion/21lirr.html?_r=2&oref=slogin (you may have to login as it is an old article) Oh and I was wrong...some guys are making $200+K... (that's a lot of pesos mi amigo)

I don't know how you can disagree with her personal, actual experience. Unless you are saying "I think you are making it up." As for the Ivy league thing, it is pretty established that certain schools and regions are "feeder schools" to the Ivys and like the Ivys themselves, the reputations...
