I expressed this view, first to my dad and then to my husband. This was, however, a reaction to my personal situation. I am glad that no one was killed.

Or this is how she has been trained to behave in a threatening a situation. Become small, cover her head and follow her bodyguard as they take her out of there.

I remembered this as a corcho shortage and I was wondering why my white wines were going from screw top to inconvenient corcho. A bottle shortage is much more logical.

There is no way that he will learn the equivalent of Cockney in a private school. But the RioPlatense, with the sh and the vos, is predominant both with his classmates and teachers. I don’t live around Buenos Aires anymore but where I do live we have a big transplant population that speak that...

How far do you go in your pursuit of a neutral Spanish. Will you disuade the use of sh sounds? Will you not allow vos to leave his mouth? That might be tricky as he will want to speak in a way that fits in with his peers. I’ve had students slowly transitioning from tu to vos and as their...

Remember that there is a difference between Bilingual schools and schools that teach English in the “contra turno”. Generally, in a bilingual school the students study all or some of the subjects in English and in the other kind they study English as a subject with projects to give it structure...

My house, but you would have to start driving NOW to get here on time. And that is if the Internet cooperates. And it will be in Swedish.

It’s worth mentioning that there could be trouble LEAVING Argentina if only ONE parent is traveling with her. I know that you said you’re traveling together but crazy things happen. That’s not a problem if both parents are with her and that can be proved with a birth certificate or a DNI with...

Just a note, when we extended my parents visa they didn’t get a stamp they just got a paper to show when they departed. This was in Bariloche.

You can do it in any office. We just asked for one in Bariloche. At least here it’s done without an appointment.

I can’t see why you shouldn’t be able to do day hikes. Specially if you rent a car to get to the start. The refugios might be closed or booked already. At least here in Villa la Angostura the weather is supposed to stay warm and sunny for the rest of the year.

The discussion here is between doing border and overstaying. Why aren’t we talking about asking for an extension of the tourist visa? Is that not an option anymore?

It’s possible that they didn’t click the fully vaccinated box if there is one. As stated before. They didn’t have any problems entering and they didn’t prove any kinship. They came as tourists with two doses of AZ. The declaración jurada has nothing to do with the airline. It is the...

My parents travelled on 9th November. When they filled out the paperwork with their TWO Astra Zeneca vaccines it came out as “not fully vaccinated”. They were allowed to enter no problem and when they arrived at their destination, Provincia Neuquen, they got an email from the region. It stated...

My parents just arrived in Bariloche. They can report that the arrival at EZE has never been faster and in a couple of hours they were at Jorge Newberry. My dad’s biggest complaint was that the nice cafeteria at Jorge has been replaced by a Starbucks. He is not a fan! Sorry. Apparently there...

If you like hiking and nature you should get in touch with CABA. They can point out a couple of hikes with overnight cabins in the mountains. I haven’t done any of the ones close to Bari, but I have been to Tronador. If you have got time and money you drive there one day, stay at the histeria in...

What is reliable Internet to you? We have been teaching online on a 4mb connection with students on a similar connection that only works if it isn’t snowing. I was gob smacked to find out that the owner of the school had 56mb at her home in Buenos Aires. I’m in Villa la Angostura so I would...

I’m lucky enough to have a fiber optic connection so the only threat is someone digging up the cable. They are probably on a point to point connection on a mountain. I have students who cannot carry a zoom call if it’s raining. To much interference.

Flaky Internet for sure. In Villa the top that you can buy is 10 mb. But, then again my husband works for IBM on 4mb. So, you know, what do you really need? And lately he works, the children do online school and I teach on 4 mb. And we survive, barely ….
