I will forever champion Villa La Angostura. A small village with day long hikes that begin at your door...

Here in Patagonia you can’t cross the border with an Argentinian vehicle if you don’t have a permanent address in Argentina. And can prove it... with an Argentine ID. You could possibly get around that by registering the vehicle with a citizen and then get a notarized permission to bring it...

Anything that is taken orally, including suplements, must be declared separately. There is a special process for that. I was trying to get a parcel out without actually knowing what was in it and I overheard the customs officer explaining to the client in front of me. She was trying to get...

I didn't know that um, Peer to Peer prostitution is legal. I learn something every day.

Winterfell, thank you for your feedback. I have taken it to heart the same way I always do to examine my own beliefs. I wasn't going to meet you arguments because that was not the point of my post. However, prostitution is not legal and hunting is. The hunters have to stay somewhere and even...

I'm not a hunter so I can't give you any specific information. If I come across any I'll let you know in private. Look at Isla Victora in the lake Nahuel Huapi. The hunting trips go out from Bariloche or Villa la Angostura. Please look for a certified hunting guide, it's important so that the...

The detail is fantastic. I'm amazed that you could remember all the steps afterward.

For us in VLA it seems to mean paved roads in the city centre and a rather controversial bypass road 500 meters from my house. Now we have something that they euphemistically call ripio. There may be some micro loans available as well. My part of Patagonia has got lots of potential for...

My husband is currently tracking down a package sent from the US through USPS. I'm running backup at home looking up the information he needs as he follows the yellow brick road through AFIP to aduanas. It was much easier to have things sent by DHL as we prepaid the taxes, but that wasn't an...

As they say here: The best place to buy a computer in Bariloche is Osorno.

I heat up full fat milk to finger temperature (about 1,7 l) and mix it with a pot of Yogs natural yogurt. I pour it into a two liter thermos and let it sit for 12 hrs in a warm spot. Then I pour it into a bowl and beat by hand to work out the lumps. I then let it sit in the fridge, in a jar with...

Yep, then you go to Patagonia and you have to stop in the roundabout to let people enter. We also have a PARA sign on the RUTA 40 because there is a speed bump. A sign that the municipality can't touch because Nación put it up. And nobody gives way to the right, biggest and fastest drives...

We paid the taxes to the provider who paid it to DHL who paid it to Aduana. if it's sent by Correo Argentina then you have to generate a VEP. That is more difficult. You need a Cuil to begin with and a level 3 security level on the AFIP website. Our provider seems to be on board with the process...

We ordered some car parts from the UK and they arrived OK to us in Patagonia. Nothing major, just part for the locks, a new grill and some other details. We had them sent through DHL and paid the taxes before. We paid with an Argentine credit card. The two packages took three days from order...

I don't know if it matters, but if you can arrive before 8 in the morning they don't really pay attention as they scan your bag in customs. I recently came back from Europe with suitcases full off stuff. Really it was an asortment of stuff but most of is was plates and other ceramics that I...

You don't know what a blueberry is until you have tried the norther European variety. Depending on if you pick it from the shade or the sun it's either a sweet or acid explosion in you mouth. Granted, I'm biased... After some investigation I see that this wouldn't be called blueberry in English...

At first I didn't get Fred's comment, until I went and looked at the title. I have no idea how that happened... All I can say is that I'm typing on a tablet and maybe autocorrect in a different language is involved. Maybe I'll go for a flag "stick" on the side of my house, as is also quite...

Hi, In Sweden many older houses have flagpoles, a remnant from when the government was trying to build the national story and encouraged it. I have been thinking about having a flagpole raised at my house, but since you don't see it here in Argentina I am hesitant. Is it even legal? Does...

Oh, is that what it is? But, why?

Since it's held in Sweden, why not watch it on Swedish TV. http://www.svtplay.se/video/8313134/eurovision-song-contest-2016/eurovision-song-contest-2016-semifinal-1-svt
