    Has anyone used XOOM before?

    I just phoned Xoom and was told that their services can not be used with a Canadian credit card, debit card, or bank account. U.S. only.

    Home Brewing

    Great store! Well stocked. Super knowledgeble staff, with a classroom out back in which they give beer brewing courses. But no malt extract to be had here....so it will be brewing straight from all grain when I move to Córdoba. I've always wanted to do that!:)

    Argentine passport holders: a question about US visas

    My Argentine boyfriend was given back his annulled Argentine passport along with his new passport because his annulled passport has his Canadian multiple entry visa in it which is still valid. So, the passport authorities in Argentina do give back the old passport when required. It was not...

    A personnal preference: I don't care how old my flight attendants are, as long as I am getting served by someone who is muy simpático , obliging and professional. I am uneasy about hiring practices that discriminate on age unless it hinders the capacity of a person do a job. As for only...

    In June 2009 , I flew back to Canada with 4 oil paintings in a shipping tube which I carried over my shoulder. Had no issues whatsoever. It sounds like I was lucky.

    Shipping original artwork to the U.S.

    Why are there export restrictions on artwork? Does this apply to all artwork or just artworks of historical/cultural significance? If a tourist buys paintings at a market, does this mean he/she can't bring them back with them in their luggage? Thanks for enlightening me.
