I think you'll find that in BA, there are very few options for dog food. There seem to be only a handful of brands available: Royal Canin, Purina, Iams and a few others. But note that all these brands are ranked very low by virtually all standards. For all the interest in pets and with all the...

It depends on one's definition of "incredible". Much of the media is quick to let the world that demonstrations by the people in middle eastern countries is solely part of a "democratic" process and that the people want democracy. In the end, that might not be the case for any of these...

With is being tax season in the US and with so many expats from the US here, I though it would be a good time to start a new thread on the topic. If you have any tips for people filing, any advice on services, to use, then please share. But let's keep this as a useful resource and not a debate...

Methods might depend on what type of iphone is it (1st gen, 3G, 3GS, 4G) Easiest first step is to jailbreak. It's free and a simple google search will help you out. You used to be able to just point your iphone browser to jailbreak.me, but that site no longer is up. Here's a step-by-step guide...

I'm always surprise to see so many posts about the lack of quality put into drink mixing in BA. I remember before every visiting BA, hearing about all the time put into making drinks and how it was an art, this and that, not about quantity but quality.

$300 for a 1st generation unlocked? I got a 32GB factory unlocked Iphone 4 for $780US just a few months ago. Well worth spending the extra $100 per year newer.

Interesting. I'd think that seafood in Santiago being superior would top the list over the pizza advantage.

I can't make a reco for a dog walker for you. I can tell you to just do your research. My days are free and I often walk the city with my dog, en route to do dog training sessions around the city. And when we're in many of the parks, it's quite common that the dog "walkers" just tie up the group...

It is what it is. I see people pissing on trees every few days, regardless of location. Sometimes parents with kids, often dog walkers (who also don't pick up the dog crap).

All great stuff so far, thanks!

I'm putting something together and thought you'd all be great sources for interesting takes. To keep it simple, I looking to create a list of "pros" and "cons" of living in BsAs versus living in another city somewhere in the world. Now, it's important to note that the comparisons and contrasts...

I brought a can with me from my recent US trip. But I'm thinking the best way to stretch it out will be in the form of pumpkin ice cream and pumpkin milk shakes. Also brought some pumpkin pie spice with me for a quick reminder every so often on helado, etc.

I did a quick review of (3) pizzerias in Buenos Aires this week...including Pepperoni Pizza in BA: http://www.foodsherpas.com/2010/11/pizza-in-buenos-aireswith-pepperoni.html Not too much depth to the blog post, focused more on thin crust pizza.

The fact that fruit doesn't last long is the advantage. That's what makes it "good". If you are used to the magical US fruit and vegetables that last a week, then you're out of luck. Because if you are used to buying organic fruits in the US, you know you have only 1-2 days to eat it. And note...

I'm a newbie too. And as I live a half block from Olsen, I'd be foolish not to get involved ;)

I think it's in general, not just online. I was at Migraciones yesterday to renew my tourist visa and the girl taking care of it whom I was speaking with gave me her number when giving me back my passport.

Curious...brought this up in another thread too: If the fee is $300 at the airport, and the fee is $300 if you do the (1) renewal a year at Migraciones, why bother going to Migraciones? Also, if a somewhat last minute roundtrip Buquebus costs $150+$150, again, it almost seems most economical to...

I'm surprised by the whole "round trip" issue. I rarely ever buy round trip tickets since I tend to bounce around whatever region I'm in. I moved here 2 months ago...bought a one-way ticket...even brought my dog with me. I'm wondering if anyone else has ever had an airline try to pull this. I've...

So if a ticket on Buquebus on one of the faster boats (2 hours) costs $180+$120 for the return, it's a $300AR cost. Meanwhile, isnt' the fee for overstaying a tourist visa $300 pesos? If so, then we're talking about the same cost but 1 option requires saving 10 or so hours or ones time.

So true about the toy comparison. It's why one of the hardest things to get used to here are the people with small (and large) dogs who don't feel that they need to have any regard for their neighbors by allowing the dogs to bark all the time. As a dog trainer, I tell people all the time that...
