dissapears to some shoe-shopping mecca with all the money that went/will go 'missing', or confiscated during her administration. Could she be any different than menem? are politicos not all cut from the same cloth?

add another name to the list: Bamias . Found some references to okra in recipes in lanacion and they mentioned chaucha bamia or bamia.... :huh: @#%$#.... they have a million different names for the same damd thing. Have the same problem when I'm looking for certain tools too. The translations...

also found on ML in seed form.

Just spent a few hours looking around Palermo in the Armenian shops, and seriously... my head does not store all the possible names of things when I go shopping for them on a whim: Okra, Quimbombó, Quingombó, Chaucha Turca, Ají turco, Gumbo, Gombo, Algalia, Angelonia, Ocra, Yerba de culebra ...

It's not just the walls; the vibrations get conducted through the floors and pipes (in the case of an apartment block) too. Argentine construction uses materials that have no vibration absorption at all. I did the same thing that garryl mentioned by building a insulated interior buffer wall...

Argentina seems to have a 'give and take' when it comes to quality of life. I couldn't even quantify the split in percentages because some things really depend on the audience. To me it's like having kids, they test your metal from the beginning, but you made the decision to have them so you...

Probably getting an education while in jail too... the Scandinavian countries don't seem to waste much of anything, so educating prisoners is probably a fact of life there.

This just made me laugh: http://sailinganarchy.com/2015/06/23/go-to-jail-go-directly-to-jail/ (Funny that the ones being detained are from the Spanish Team Mapfre... but WTF, these lads just came back from an around the world race... a little hell raising is in order ;) ). if this is what comes...

Many laws have been made, and not enforced... this is the way it is here. This type of thing would never go anywhere... to have any kind of real impact on the cat-calling, you'd have to sick the mother of the offender on the offender. The men here are really a bunch of mamas-boys.

I think that not only is the food different, so is the medium it's grown in. When mega-food conglomerations and mega-farms are whipping out cheap food to sell to the masses; most people don't look past the borders of their table to ask if the food they are eating is anything like the food their...

:huh: ÅKERKULLA Shower curtain, multicolor -- US $14.99 , ML: $599 or 12 cuotas de $ 76.37.... funny, a payment plan for a SHOWER CURTAIN ?!?! hehe The 4000% markup seems a little steep for a printed polyester. :P

Two items that I would not just-go-out-and-buy-new recently broke. 1. My steel watch band (how unfortunate that even though the watch body is made of steel, there are some small connecting parts that are plastic... but more to the point, I like my watch and haven't found one that I like quite...

The thing about growing vegetables at home is that, first you have to wait , and wait..........and wait, then after a time you don't know what to do with the surplus. Some veg get growing and produce more in a short time then you can deal with (cucumber, squash are notorious growers). I have...

@Pitipur $10 x 15h > US $150 /wk @ official 8.87 > 1330.50 pesos > @4wks $5322 $10 x 15h > US $150 /wk @ blue 12.45 > 1867.50 pesos > @4wks $7470 Without even having paid the internet, phone, electricity to do this job, this is not something anyone could live on. I posted the US ranking as a...

Awesomeness and nightlife went out the window once I became a parent. Now it's more like exhaustion and hoping I can wake up in time to make it to the hardware store before it closes at 12 on a Saturday. <_< The #1 item on my list when scoping a job here is medical coverage for my family, even...

US$10 for working at home, with internet, cellular or phone, electricity paid by the an employee, even part time... doesn't add up. McD's will be paying that to their people soon too. This position is akin to a executive assistant (by definition - Assistant to the CEO, is an executive assistant)...

I seem to remember something suitable for this:

I found my car using http://www.deautos.com/ . Worth a look as my argie family has used this to look for and/or sell their cars too.

I'm waiting on more content for this thread. This is something that important for a range of expats; I'm surprised there isn't more [recent] content about this subject. An argie businessman (albeit sketchy one at that) told me once that this is possible and that the government will allow a...
