    Dish Washing Sponge Vs. Brush

    I guess I need to look harder, I've looked in several supermarkets and ferreterías. I need to find a kitchen store. I'll look next time I go to alto Palermo.

    Dish Washing Sponge Vs. Brush

    Has Argentina not grasped the concept of washing dishes with a brush instead of a sponge. I hate using a sponge. Using a brush you don't have to get your hands dirty and you don't have to touch one of the dirtiest things in your house ( kitchen sponge) Has anyone had any luck finding a dish...

    Thursday Strike

    Not sure if this is a serious post or not but concerning tomorrow I have been advised by several argentines not to go outside, and avoid any groups as people's behavior will be unpredictable and it is possible hatred and anger could possible turn towards foreigners. I received this from the US...

    3D Tv: Is It Worth It?

    I've had a 60 inch 3d tv for a while, and I have to say the novelty of 3d wears off in about two weeks. At the best buy near my house in Portland and at fry's I have seen the samsung uhd TVs and the curved led TVs and the sony 4k TVs, and I can say 4k is amazing. Much clearer and brighter...

    Ezieza Taxi Costs

    With Taxi Ezeiza you pay inside the airport at their little stand, right outside the sliding security doors, where everyone is standing around waiting for people to arrive, the little booth is hard to miss, it is the first thing you see really in Argentina. As far as negotiating a price I...

    Ezieza Taxi Costs

    Took a taxi ezeiza yesterday, paid 38 US dollars. Ezeiza to Palermo. I tipped the guy who took us to the taxi ezeiza and carried my bag 10 pesos. My wife laughed at me because I spent the whole trip into Palermo worrying if I tipped enough. Back in 2010 I think 10 pesos would have been way to...

    Real Madrid Vs. Barcelona Viewing Locations

    Does anyone know where I can catch this game, I imagine most places with TVs would be willing to change channel to let me watch. Does anyone know what channel this will be on here in Argentina..?

    Colectivo From Ezeiza To Palermo

    I ended up taking a taxi ezeiza and paid 38 dollars. Expensive but worth the security and the comfy ride into town. On a side note the flight from Atlanta to ezeiza was a lot more bearable this time. Delta use a newer airbus with nice seats and an impressive personal tv screen with lots of...

    Colectivo From Ezeiza To Palermo

    12 pesos is what I took back to the usa in 2010. And 8 pesos wow, back in the day I hated even paying 2.50. I might take an ezieza taxi for 300 pesos. although 8 pesos sounds nicer. Not travelling on the bus with a suitcase may be worth 300 pesos. for transport in BSAS I use these web pages...

    Reselling Ipads In Argentina

    Great thanks for the info, I know asking price is not always a good indicator of actual selling price. I'm not looking to get rich or anything, I was just curious, also I wouldn't mind selling a new ipad to any expat, at US retail price. If anyone is interested let me know. The only added...

    Reselling Ipads In Argentina

    I just wanted to start a quick help guide for help on bringing ipads from the USA to Argentina to resell. (First of all this is not my get rich quick scheme, I just thought I would sell one ipad, to an Argentine a little below the Argentine price, and make a little money to help with rent)...
