    Zika Virus

    I would say that the correlation is that the modified sterile mosquitos were released in order to shrink the population of mosquitos able to carry virus without dying or defeating it themselves. The virus itself comes from Africa, I'm sorry I can't give you a better geografical position, where...

    So What Is It Like Over There.

    I haven't seen much of a change yet. We still live in the tourist bubble here. One thing I reflected over today is that one of the hardware store has a medium sized sit on top Husqvarna lawnmower on display. Import must have opened up!

    Dealing With Disaster

    We have bought all of our safety equipment through a safety shop here in Villa, except the fire blanket. They didn't have that. My parents brought that item with them from IKEA in Sweden. It seems like if you have access to an IKEA at some stage have a look at their safety equipment and prepare...

    Buying Baby Plane Ticket At Ezieza

    I'm afraid that I can't help you with the biggest question in your post. Where to get the ticket. How about sending them an email through their website, just to be sure that you understand the process correctly. When we flew to Argentina from Australia 8 years ago we bought the tickets before...

    Wood Burning Tool What Is It Called In Spanish?

    I use a soldering iron to burn wood and, as you said Serafina, I have to wait between uses for it to heat up again. I would say that it is worth the effort to look for a pirograbador.

    Some Of Your Favorite Things Around Bariloche?

    We spent a Christmas at a camping in Lago Puelo, down by the lake. It was full och cherry trees. The smell of fermenting cherries put us off at first but after getting used to it we parked the defender under a huge tree, climbed up of the roof and ate cherries for a week. We were practically...

    Some Of Your Favorite Things Around Bariloche?

    what do we like to do around here? Basically, kayaking, hiking and swimming or chilling on the beach. My husband is training to be a mountain guide so we have had the added incentive to have a look at the hikes around here with a more professional eye. My personal favorite is an overnight hike...

    What Is The Argentine' Secret To Always Smelling So Good?

    My kids celebrated their 6 and 9 years birthdays last weekend and we have 5 bottles of kids cologne in the house now. I'm trying to teach them how to use it but sometimes every room in the house smells of a different fragrance. They are now hidden because I can't stand it anymore. One does have...

    The Kiss And Hug Greeting

    Yesterday I received a French Canadian couple at my rental house and after the first half second of hesitation she went for a kiss on the left side... And then one on the left. As kissing is still a mystery for me, even after 8 years, I tend to go with the flow. The family from French Guinea...

    Government : Enacting Biometrics Law

    Not that I think this is the reason, but it would be a treasure for medical research. A big sample size, sort of randomised. Not that it is going to happen, ever. Argentina barely trusts the government to keep their money.

    Border Crossings In The South To Chile

    I agree with andesmandes that Cardenal Samoré is nice, easy do drive and good views. But, everywhere in the Andes has a good view. I recommend taking a day pass at the all inclusive hotel on the Chilean side, bswimming and eating buffe lunch until you think you are going to burst, but will just...

    The Swedish Law

    These people give free advice within Sweden. They don't have any information in English only Swedish. http://www.arvsrätt.nu From what I have seen the deceased's spouse inherits the whole amount, UNLESS there are children from a prior relationship. Then those children inherit their part, so if...

    The Swedish Law

    I don't know anything about inheritance law as I have not had to deal with it yet. I suggest that you go the the embassy to ask, they can't help you, but maybe they can put you in touch with someone who can.

    Health Care For Pregnant Wife

    It is a very difficult decision to make. I stayed in Australia to have my first born since that was where I had my health insurance. You might consider doing some domestic birth tourism. We have a nice hospital here in Villa la Angostura, but without a neonatal unit. If you are not tied to...

    Forget The Tango.. This Is The Future..

    Yes, copycat or translation? It depends on how you see it. I heard the spanish version sung by Sosa after she died and they played it everywhere. Both versions are in my Spotify list.

    Forget The Tango.. This Is The Future..

    Yxi, kaxi, kolme... We learnt something from the Finnish speaking children's program from the 80s. There wasn't much to watch at the time. The Finnish are passionate people somewhere deep inside, but they don't show it much on the outside. This song was a favorite of mine since my childhood...

    That is exactly how we explain it to the kids.

    Constant Internet

    I can share because I care, but it won't help you much since I'm not in the metropolis. We pay 295 per month for 2 Mbps. This is probably quite close to true though since my husband can run Skype calls and log into servers at the same time, he works with IBM. The rest of the family gets locked...
