    Q: Rental Negotiation Vs Inflation

    Inflation this year will probably be 30%, especially since so many police forces got 40%+ increases after going on strike. And yes, compounded interest means that two 15% > one 30% increase. Obvio.

    Weekend Get-Together May 18

    Today they are having El Tejano BBQ doing a special BBQ & Music something-or-another starting at 2pm, so I wouldn't bet on them taking a reservation for a table of brunchers. The place should be packed by then. PS- It's ON the corner of Thames & Costa Rica, not "near" it. (It's the BLUE building.)

    F*ing Strike...is Visa Overstay An Issue?

    Don't waste your time and money going to Uruguay. You can pay the fine at EZE and have High Tea (at least one day, if not two) at the Alvear Palace Hotel and/or the Park Hyatt's Duhau Palace and still come out ahead.

    Where Be We!?

    I almost started a thread with: "It's FLOODING in Belgrano!" Not because I've heard reports, but because I've heard the rain tonight. It's flooding in Belgrano, it's flooding in La Boca, it's flooding in Las Canitas, it's flooding at Av. Juan B. Justo & Av. Santa Fe... Somewhere's flooding...

    Restaurants To Avoid

    I got empanadas once at this place on a side street and they weren't that good. I suggest people avoid that place.

    Leading Argentine Neuroscientist Critical Of Monsanto Dies

    I would say that it's difficult to find someone who thinks that CFK is good looking. But I'm going on current status, and not a 7 year-old photo that still had to be touched up. Body-wise, even if she's wearing SPANX, she is in classic Argentine form for a lady her age. But from the clavical...

    Presid. Of Uruguay Meets President Obama At The White House

    She's BROWN with envy. (Or whatever color mask it is that she wears when she goes out.)

    Selling Samsung Galaxy 5

    You need to go outside the BA Expats community to get your money back. You can even make money on it, but you'll have to venture into areas where people don't constantly have someone coming in from out of the country.

    Argentine V. Argentinian

    This is kind of like calling all Spanish speakers "Mexicans". Like Nikad, when I saw it I do it jokingly*, however when most other Americans do it, it tends to have a negative connotation. *NOTE: Los Argentinos don't usually think it's as funny as I do . . . . . . and that's usually what...

    Walk-In Clinic?

    Yes. Seriously. In general, I don't really get sick.

    Walk-In Clinic?

    I actually went to a private clinic a couple of years back to see a specialist and paid via credit card. (or was it cash?) Anyway, the doctor told me that he was also at the Parque Patricios Public Hospital on Saturday mornings from ~7am-1pm. (I don't remember exactly.) I asked him if it was...

    Leading Argentine Neuroscientist Critical Of Monsanto Dies

    There's so much photoshop blurring/masking in her face and neck that her "jaw line" is so fuzzy that you can't even clearly see the "makeup line". Here's a more accurate photo of the President. Some of the others that I tried to link have been blocked in this country it appears.

    The Perfect Metaphor For Soccer

    Just to point out how clueless you are, I'm posting the scores from this weekends' matches in the MLS (the soccer league in the US). Please point out the "0-0 tie". Then I will point out stats that you no doubt won't have a clue as to their meaning, because soccer, its statistics and its...

    The Perfect Metaphor For Soccer

    Baseball is about 1/10th as complex as American football. (And I'm being generous.) That doesn't mean that you have to like either sport, but the planning and strategy for 22 players on the field for each individual snap blows the ever-living-sh!t out of the strategy for baseball. And YES, I...
