In Australia, dual citizenship disqualifies one from political office: what's the situation in Argentina?

Has anybody else noticed that the chainsaw in the picture has no saw blade? An allegory perhaps?

Spoiler Alert! The world is NOT going to end. WE are going to end. And the world will get on just fine without us.

Gosh! It would have been a very different Buenos Aires in those days! Neither the Kavanagh building nor Ave 9 Julio nor many other landmarks of today would have been completed by 1935 and life would have been very different. Ironically, the best place for your research is probably University...

Whenever I go somewhere new I start with the bus tour. In Cordoba city this starts by the side of the cathedral and I think it is pretty good with very informative guides. From the tour I get to see which things I am interested in exploring further. For me, theatres (some have free shows - check...

Would that be the kind of journalist who lies? Who knows he lies? Who, because he knows he lies, costs his then-employer $787million for his lies?

(Guardian journalists are on strike Wed 11.00-Friday 11.00GMT and would like readers not to access the website during this period if they wish to show solidarity with the strikers. It's about the proposed sale of the Observer and if you are interested, the story can be found in most other UK...

I was reading back through your very interesting past messages before replying so I wonder, did you ever move back to Argentina or will you be passing suggestions to your brother from elsewhere? I'd suggest going to Defensa del Consumidor in CABA - find them from the city website or Google...

Thanks for the reminder, Frank. We've not mentioned this for a while, I think, but if you live within the city walls there are still the weekly Ferias de la Ciudad which come to your locality. You have to pick and choose which things are best for you. We tend to get honey, nuts, oil, bread...

It's weird, isn't it? But it's not just an Argentine thing: the French, for instance, do this a lot. A whole family in a tiny car yet they still have room for a folding table and chairs so they can do lunch properly. And if anybody thinks I'm poking fun, I'm not - in fact I rather admire them...

Many years ago I was in Teatro Avenida chatting with my companion waiting for the curtain to come up when the woman sitting next to me on the other side tapped me on the arm and, in perfect RP, asked me if I were English. We had a short conversation and just before the lights went down I asked...

here is a 30 minute podcast about it https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01l05dq (link expires in 12 days)

The ratio between USD and NZD is beyond individual control. When I send AUD from my GBP account I decide how many AUD I want to appear in the recipient's account and work backwards from there. I'm sure that any amount that you feel comfortable about giving will be accepted in the same generous...

I think that's a lovely, lovely idea! In Argentina cash wedding gifts are always very acceptable (I've done this several times) especially if the couple are already living together and have all the usual things for the home. If they have an Argentina based US dollar bank account (many Argentines...

That report is dated Jan 2018. Google for Trump Deport Indian Workers and you'll see plenty of Nov 2024 reports from sources like The Hindu and India Today which express concern. I can't lay my hands on the recent article in a western mainstream publication where I first saw this but if I find...

Is that consistent with the reported plan to deport mostly Indian H-1B visa holders to force US businesses to hire from within the USA?

So.... "Nonresident tourists, coming over to Argentina to give birth" so the parents can obtain shiny new Argentine passports. Isn't that just another form of child exploitation? The moral high ground is thataway >>>>>

You probably didn't do too badly there. This is the official price list for medications in Argentina https://www.preciosderemedios.com.ar/precios/?pattern=ibuprofeno
