Thanks for the suggestions. Yes I see many on the streets but unfortunatley I can never buy a German car let alone a Volkswagen. I'd be riding with too many ghosts. The Chery cars seem to be popular too but I've heard some negative things about them. I'd like to hear from an owner.

Thanks for the info. The car that was just stolen was our second Peugeot and, like you, our experience with them has been very good. Since we keep them for a long time we're probably going to buy a new car and with the dogs and grand kids it'll probably be a SUV. The only reason we're looking...

Our car was stolen this week. It was 8 years old and we're not sorry to see it go. Just happy that we're all safe and unharmed. So we're starting to visit dealers to pick a new car, most likely a medium sized SUV. I see a lot of Fords, Peugeots, Chevrolets on the streets. Anybody have a...

We want to visit friends in Thailand again but this time we're thinking of going West instead of East, possibly stopping in N.Z., Australia, Bali. Can anyone recommend a travel agent that had experience with trips like this? Thanks

Brazil and Argentina are work on a common currency as the first step toward a Latin American version of the Euro. I'm wondering if partnering with Brazil can help Argentina.

Is there any way to get Best Buy or Amazon products shipped here? (without using a mule)? I haven't seen this discussed in a while, hoping there's something new.

Wishing you the same happiness that I found here.

I also travel a lot around the world. I also need to receive 'short sms' verification codes from my financial institution in the US. I have a dual sim Pixel phone. In the E-sim slot I have Google Fi which sends me SMS codes wherever I am. In the other slot I have a Movistar sim with their...

If I'm unhappy with the service I just leave. It's not wise to piss off someone that handles your food, things could go very badly. And also, it's their country, I'm just a visitor here, it's not my place to correct the way they run their businesses.

I wish you luck, but I asked our local roaster for his very best beans. It was horrible.

Because Starbucks buys so many beans they are forced to settle for lower quality (less flavorful beans). To compensate they burn the beans mildly and add layers of flavors and marketing razzle dazzle and offer restaurants that encourage customers to hang out. Our senses of taste and smell...

When I moved to Argentina from the US a decade ago I noticed that the people looked much healthier here and there were very few obese people. Now it seems usual to see people waddling across the street or taking up two seats on a bench. At the same time there are now lots of KFC's and Burger...

That sounds like what I'm looking for but we only need it for maybe 30-40 days a year. That'd be 720/40 or $18/day which is cheaper than buying coverages from the car rental companies.

Credit card coverage is very light. I even have a premium policy with American Express but it has no liability coverage and medical for us only goes up to 15k as a secondary coverage (I have Medicare as primary but my wife doesnt). Is comprehensive available for car rentals?

I have no U.S. insurance except Medicare. My wife has no insurance. We both drive rental cars. When we rent a car in the US what coverage should I take in order to be well covered?

In order for you to receive calls and sms codes from the US Google Fi needs to connect with a local cell service in Argentina. I started with a Google Fi on a Samsung phone but learned that they do not connect locally as well as the Pixel phones which are built for Fi. I bought a $349 Pixel 3A...

Only for data. Still get sms codes and phone calls. Best to have a dual sim phone. One sim for movistar/personal/etc. One for Fi

The only solution I found is Google Fi cellular service. You need to arrange to activate it in the US but once you do it will send short sms codes from your bank to you here in Argentina. It works best with a Google Pixel phone. I have a dual sim Pixel phone. I recevied sms codes and any...

What's Cuervo? We are in La Plata and I've already bought and tried most of the coffees my grocer stocks. They were very bad.
