Has anyone tried Microsoft Teams? I only need to phone USA's toll free numbers and landlines. No group calls or anything else - just plain one-on-one calls.

Must be sad, having to live in what you see as a "shitE hole". Hope you can escape soon....

I had similar bad experiences in Italy, France, and in the US in Washington, DC, Boston, and San Francisco: had a wallet lifted, phone stolen, Traveler's checks pilfered, and a huge Italian Salami filched from my shopping cart in a Boston street market. Still, those thefts were far outweighed...

In two separate occasions, in two different restaurants, I left behind my MacBook and my iPhone. Once on an outisde windowsill, as I was sitting at an sidewalk table. Both times they were waiting for me when I returned in a panic. How sad that some people's inner-porteño is so negative, and...

Last week I made a great pork shoulder stew: meat, carrots, leeks, onions, green peas, celery, and the secret ingredient: half a bottle of the cheapest red wine. The kind that comes in a carton - that's how cheap it is. Lasts in the refrigerator for about five days, and gets better as time...

Has anyone seen Marmite anywhere in Argentina? Could crawl over broken glass for a fix.

Thanks, V V..... that's exactly the kind of information I needed. Now I have a starting point. Best of luck with your academy. Although I have a hunch that with your wise attitude, and good judgement, you are the kind of person who makes her own luck.

Hi, I would like to know the going hourly rate charged for private English class, by a native speaker - American college graduate. Does anyone know what the current rates are? Been out of the market for a while. But thanks to Milei I'm back in,

At the end of Peron's regime, all wheat and white flour were exported. The locals had to survive on sickly-looking grey bread for over two years. Yajjjjj.....! Same thing is happening now. I tried to buy plants for my yard, and was dismayed at the poor selection. The nursery people...

Not in San Isidro. Many are almost empty, just 20% of the tables occupied.

I spent a year in East Orange, NJ, many years ago. It was a pleasant residential place, with many rental apartments in high rises. The was a nice shopping district at Central Ave. and S. Harrison St., full of specialty shops and eateries. At that time, Newark was already dangerous, but our...

I tried strawberries but they take up a lot of space and yield very few berries. Raspberries are more rewarding, as they grow up and can be trained on a wire frame. Some varieties yield two crops per year. The plants were in the ground, into specially made beds with wood sides, raised about...

Hope you have better luck than I did. I tried and failed to grow tomatoes for two consecutive seasons. Spent a small fortune in special soil, raised beds, and wire frames, and ended up with a few miserable sickly-looking, totally flavorless tomatoes. Today I got some beauties at the local...

Out of business in May

Without power in Las Cañitas, same for a friend's home in Colegiales

Beautiful story.

I was in Colonia a few weeks ago and got some outstanding lemons at the local TaTa. They were imported - from Thailand. What are Argentine lemon producers thinking about?
