At risk of pissing off the brazilian expats of the board, my sincerest apologies, i'd say that the pic reminds me more of their own gauchos. The hat is closer to a mexican one but the brazilian leather one i'm familiar with has sort of a broidered rim. For those who are not aware of it, southern...

BTDT. Didn't end well. Our former "Estanciero" bills, aka Monopoly currency, is not the problem. It's barely a minimalist manifestation of a symptom. If you are considering the peso as an issue, you are definitely not qualified to solve the problem. Haven't found a tree and you are already...

Apologies for the thread drift. The horror! I still dream of moving back there and salute the Encargados when I pass in front of my former building. I live only a couple of blocks from there and shop at 5 Esquinas (Farmacity/Exposicion/Chino, Dia etc). Did this happen recently during...

Dafook? I still love Quintana Av. Lived there many years, very longtime ago, near 5 Esquinas. Iz

Ceviche, Sorry to hear that O'Higgins is a lost opportunity. As On the brink pointed out, I just realized too that a house like the one you seek would be a smart idea to enjoy , at least partially, this summer. Regarding your current location, besides the fact that you are fed up with it's...

Indeed. There was a time when you thanked me for ideas provided so thank you, Ceviche. In fact, used to live in a house with front and back yards and a pool, many years ago, and personally don't relish at the idea. Never liked it, i'm more of a city person. But the missus wishes are my...

Learning a bunch of useful stuff here, thanks. So, if I wanted to rent a house with a pool and a backyard, within the city limits, where should I start looking? Most likely for a month, now that summer is coming. Iz

Ceviche, please stop this and be reasonable. You wanted someone to play devil´s advocate and I simply did what you asked. Using simple logic and the data you provided. Nothing else. Can´t figure out why does that make me responsible for you losing the O´Higgins place or why you blame me. I...

It just says No Maids or Cleaning Ladies (unless you are in a defined special needs group and can get a formal permit issued). Iz

Happy to oblige but i didn't coin the expression. I simply use it. Iz

^^^^^You nailed it. Also note that We think of Punta del Este to be a step closer to Miami and Miami to be the Mecca since you don't have to lean english to move around. Those with enough neans to do so, flock both cities when the weather calls for it. They all go in large groups and keep doing...

It's been SOP to run across the river when things get complicated since the times on the Viceroy or earlier. One of the main reasons why our neighbor is called the Switzerland of South America is not their skying resorts, the cheese or the chocolate but the warm welcoming of funds of varied...

Seing that Pagina Bolche has an office barely 5 blocks away in a straight line, maybe they could have bothered to get a less superficial cover of the story. A Google search shows that the place got into a Catch-22 situation with the authorities. Unable to get paid by the Ministry for sevices...

The place used to work with the National Health´s Ministry for decades (until not too long ago), stocking AND distributing vaccines and oncologic meds. The National Health Minister used to go to the place, have his pic taken for the press and announce the yearly vaccination campaign. The...

You mean the guy asleep at the wheel when this all started? The one who thought the virus would crawl its way from China while planes kept landing unsupervised arriving from all over the world? The one that was unhinged because they left millions of vaccines go to waste forgetting that...

Question is: Is this part of the Big Plan? Does look like the 2001 Shitstorm is brewing again, PLUS the Virus, PLUS the rest of the World is not much better shape, PLUS the Gvmt is doing its best effort to piss everyone eventually willing and potentialy able to help, both internally and...

To the regular Joe, it might look like they're after the nickle and dimes of Netflix, Amazon Prime, Spotify and other subscriptions. Not to mention a large number of internet domains .com eegistered abroad. Might look like small potatoes. But the broader picture is importers and companies with...

I heard this retroactive starting 9/1. Remember many years ago when the then government went after the hard currency received foreign pensionees? Smells like a future deja vu is coming. Iz

It will be SSDD. Iz
