    Pan Dulce

    What they call pandulce here is the Spanish version of Pan Dulce from Genova, which was a sort of bread filled with dried and candied fruits (see below). Here they use the same name also for Panettone (the spongy, tall one, see below) from Milan which is the one I think @sergio is referring to...

    Even back then, Argentina was a weird place

    Are you aware that this was an Italian TV show broadcasted on Berlusconi's TV network, right? Non è la RAI

    a more pleasant Fernet

    I have never seen chinotto outside of Italy. If you like this sort of non sweet beverage, have a try at cedrata (citron juice). They are pretty popular in summer and have had a comeback in the last 10 years. And Mauricio Macri's family is from Calabria, and not Sicily.

    Moving to BA

    @buzz, try https://www.argentina-host.com/ They speak Spanish, English, Portuguese and Swedish (and I believe some French, too). My experience with them has been great (as an owner). Mr. Pablo is a dedicated guy and has been at this for a decade. He manages both short-term and long-term rentals.

    Limes (not Lemons) in Argentina

    I bought them yesterday at Verdulería Cabrera (José A. Cabrera 4192), on Cabrera y Pringles. But they not always have them. Sometimes they simply do not buy items that might be too expensive for their clientele (because they are not in season/imported etc.)

    I don't understand your contribution, then!

    DNI required to marry

    You have to request it - not all people married to an Argentine want to get a DNI/reside in Argentina! Or are you saying that you were denied one?

    Best expresso alread ground

    Clearly, there is some beef between the spelling police and the grammar police. Apologies.

    DNI required to marry

    Actually, when I got married (in the Province, 5 years ago) it was already stated that you cannot have foreign/tourist witnesses as first two witnesses (those mandates by law). If you want additional witnesses you have to pay and can pick whomever you want as it is just for show. I think the max...

    Best expresso alread ground

    Since the grammar police is in (@sergio) - it is Segafredo. Because Sega Frieda means 'give a handjob to Frieda'. That made my day (and Frieda's). Thanks! :-D

    Registering baby in Argentina- passport question!

    Tell me about it! I went to my own consulate in Microcentro to find out how I could provide translations for them and I was told 'this is Argentina, we follow Argentinian law, only traductores publicos can translate vital records'. I told them about the citizenship requirement and the lady said...

    Market For a Luxury Realtor with Multiple Languages and Experience

    I am not sarcastic. The highest monotributo grade she could enroll in is Categoria H, which corresponds to max is 1151066,58 ARS gross per year, which is 26k USD per year with the current exchange rate of 45 pesos for 1 USD. I can see somebody in the Luxury market (which in my book are...

    Market For a Luxury Realtor with Multiple Languages and Experience

    If she plans to be in luxury real estate, monotributo is not an option. She'd make so much money with a single sale to be already above the highest monotributo category.

    Marriage Certificate translation

    I suppose she needs to present it in court in Argentina: It needs to be apostilled by the State Office of California. They might refuse to apostille such an old certificate and request she gets a new copy. then she needs to have it translated by a sworn translator in Argentina...

    Registering baby in Argentina- passport question!

    UK passports are done directly in the UK (via mail). No traductor publico is required, you can also use a translator registered in the UK. On the website of the UK Embassy in Buenos Aires, there is a list of available translators in Buenos Aires, but you can really use anybody. I am on that list...
