    lawyer advice

    Interesting, "vo". I'm certain that we all feel sorry for you in your situation. Odd, though, that you've fallen into this situation in a way that few Europeans or Americans ever would. Might you be an Asian only living in Europe?

    Food Review for Sugar and Spice - Locked???

    One of the group of four, though remaining anonymous, has just informed me by PM that the sole owner of this website is "Igor". My error, then, though based on supposed information given me by one of the most frequent posters here.

    Food Review for Sugar and Spice - Locked???

    I've been told that this forum is the property of four foreigners. We've Igor, [E-]Pericles, and Chris, so I'd guess . . . that this is the mysterious fourth hand.

    Food Review for Sugar and Spice - Locked???

    Considering the rigor with which the public trust is discharged in Argentina, who could be surprised that the politicians would write and enact such a law?

    Defamous remarks by Frank Almeida

    'Too bad! And after I'd such a good impression of the man (not knowing anything of involvement with Dems Abroad) upon reading his tempered replies to critiques of his cookies and brownies. The word, by the way, is "defamatory". And, yes, it does seem to apply here -- regrettably.

    hip surgery

    It is cheap in comparison to costs in the United States (not, I know, in comparison to costs in Western Europe -- but they haven't the same problems with huge numbers of illegal immigrants sapping medical services, litigious wastefulness, etc.).

    hip surgery

    Would a public (i.e., state-funded) hospital perform the surgery?

    Hair Salon

    I'm not a woman, but I do have what could be termed "terrible northern European hair". Carlos Olivares at "Orange", at Echeverría 2640, cuts it very well. ("Orange" bills itself as a "salón unisex", and I'm occasionally the only male customer in the place.) I think you'd do very well to go to...

    hot yoga

    An American woman who tried but failed to make a go of it in Argentina a year or so ago posted here under the name of (if I remember correctly) "hotyogateacher". If you employ the "search" function (at the top of each page in the forum), you'll find many, many of her and others' postings...

    Are Argentine women and men amongst the worlds most beautiful?

    Having lived in Ethiopia, P-E, I certainly could agree with you there. Somalia, too, has some beautiful women in addition to disorder and death.

    are you happy there?

    Now that, T-Bob, is one that I really can't see! (But, were it accurate, you could feel right at home year-round.)

    are you happy there?

    This may have the ring of authenticity about it . . . let's hope not!

    Are Argentine women and men amongst the worlds most beautiful?

    So much depends upon one's personal aesthetic. I suppose that, were I to discern in the aggregate and for myself alone, I might think -- no, better, that I might feel, for it's not an intellectual determination -- that women of my own ethnic background are most pleasing in physical appearance...

    The city has just declared a Sanitary Emergency

    It's notable, too, that the population of the U.K. is double that of Argentina.

    Property buyer in Buenos Aires

    We all hope, for your sake, that that seven percent is not on the Argentine peso. With inflation running around twenty-five percent a year (a guess, as the procedures for deriving the official statistics have been emasculated), the actual return would be much less.

    Open veins of Latin America / Guide to the Perfect Latin-American Idiot

    True. Galeano is not well-regarded by professional historians, even those with personal Marxist or anglophobe biases.

    It has. I've a porteña friend who's used one such plan for years quite satisfactorily.

    Running Buddies Wanted

    I greatly enjoy hiking. But isn't departamento San Rafael a little flat for that?

    women's clothing

    Forgive the intrusion of a male reader, but I may be able to help. For men's clothing, Bs.As. offers a small but good selection of tailors and shirtmakers whose goods are wellmade and cost less, even though custommade, than comparable off-the-rack clothes in North America or England. For a...

    are you happy there?

    One can create a structural equivalent, though: a network of friends, active participation in a good church, even membership of certain clubs or other groups (however, these essential components of what's now termed "civil society" are much debilitated in Argentina in comparison to their...
