    Has anyone tried MercadoLibre International?

    I have no doubt your experience was good in Colombia. Customs here have a infamous reputation and generally is a shitshow. Best advice I've heard if it is being delivered by courier(DHL preferably as they are the only company who deliver end to end) or wait until customs are revamped as had been...

    How many 8oz packages of cheese can i bring in my luggage (EZE)?

    I bought back about 1.5kg of cheese from stilton to wensleydale in a cool bag with some ice blocks in it from the UK and had no problems. To be fair I wasn't aware it was an issue.

    Moving to Argentina

    Yeah you're right lol, my dyslexic brain read it as weekly not monthly. So not wholly unreasonable.

    After Argentina: South America Options for Naturalized Argentine Citizens

    I just told her in fact and she said it's an absolute hole(I'm paraphrasing as I don't know the site rules on profanity).

    Moving to Argentina

    A pretty average senior manager position working at a midlevel size company is earning up to half a million dollars per year??? Behave.

    My girlfriend lived in Peru for a few years and hated it in comparison to here, what makes the place different for you having lived there obviously?

    Western Union money transfer

    Western Union is a pricy way to receive cash here if doing so on a regular basis and of any significant amount.

    Argentina's "anything-but-Libertarian exchange controls..." IMF meets in BsAs

    We live in hope, looking to buy a used car but prices are just insane. Plus I read that clocking is a huge thing here. Does anyone know if milage here is registered? In the UK the milage is recorded when an MOT is carried out, is there anything like that here?

    Disappointed with Food in Argentina

    Hit the nail on the head and what I alluded to with expectations. Also if you eat a lot of rich foods subtle flavours can become lost, I realised this when I went a time without refined sugar and an apple that was once slightly sweet in comparison suddenly became overly sweet. Hopefully as the...

    Disappointed with Food in Argentina

    What are you talking about? I'm from the UK. I meant Welsh lamb actually but my autopilot obviously got the better of me. Awww, how cute. Your expectations weren't met again so now you're getting salty. You throw forward generic unimaginative experiences, propped up by vague points of supposed...

    Disappointed with Food in Argentina

    I was merely echoing what you told me. This is your interpretation and expectation, bland is a far cry from 'highly seasoned and spicy'. Horses for courses mate, get out of the cities/towns and experience the real UK. Smoke mackerel salads, minted Welsh rabbit and whole host of rich flavours...

    Disappointed with Food in Argentina

    So as I suspected pretty generic pub grub. Maybe things are different in Sussex but things such as beef wellington, kippers and a cream tea might satisfy you a little more. The seafood down there is sublime too, shame you had such a bland experience. Also I never mentioned 'traditional' so the...

    Disappointed with Food in Argentina

    Can any of you enlighten me on the bland British food you have been eating? Will be interesting to see your limited knowledge and experience of regional foods I would guess. I mean it just seems like an old trope that gets rolled out like warm beer. Anybody tried a Sussex smokey or banoffee pie...
