Not in the centre, but I -- a blond-haired man -- go to "Orange", a salón unisex keeping many a woman well-coifed. It's at Echeverría 2640 in Belgrano, reachable at 4784 4014 or 2904; the man who cuts my hair (excellent work, low charge by standards of the northern hemisphere) is the owner...

What a novel idea, "nikad"! Yes, I'd expect that such a service could be quite profitable.

Can't you guess?

For what it's worth, S.H., the voseu is a very old (well, okay, late mediaeval, I understand) form of address, originally reserved for speaking to the king or divinity; and the pronunciation of "ll" found in Argentina is, perhaps, even older, originating not among Italian immigrants but in...

Do, please, let us know.

I'm pleased to know that you and your family arrived safely, "katti" -- congratulations! And do keep posting.

I've been using Tienda León for years but never knew it operated a shuttle to an individual address. Thanks, "dsc"!

Shame? Embarrassment? Studies show that victims often feel such emotions (even though we'd probably all agree that they needn't), which likely would have made them reticent to vote or post here.

Mr. Obama's speech to Congress last night settled this: yes, as it now stands, the president's plan "requires" each American to buy or otherwise have medical insurance. No details on how to compel this, of course (the speech wasn't long enough for many details); but I'd guess that one or...

Pericles obliquely makes a point about one aspect of social life in Bs. As. that pleases me: the inobtrusiveness of waiters. In the States, the usual seems to be a false chattiness ("Hi, I'm Samkins. I'll be your server tonight!") extended by constant interruptions ("Is everything okay?" "Do...

No, "D.", not a fantasy -- silly, perhaps, on its author's part, but not a fantasy. Just read the news. Of course, as I noted, this is but one proposal. Whether this one makes it out of committee is quite another consideration. As for propaganda, I've no interest in propagating any viewpoint...

Under one proposal now being considered, fine you $3,800 a year.

None of us considers the poll to be determinative of crime in Bs. As. on the whole, I'm certain; but it's both interesting and somewhat indicative of the experiences of members of this forum.

If you're very young (and I suppose that you may be), you may ignore this advice, as your body is still developing. If not, though, consider having a dinner jacket and trousers made for you: perhaps US$1,200 for nice, well-made ones that you can have cut and sewn as you wish and which will...

Jim, if you want a useful reply, you'll need to give a reference: are you American? where do you live now? what do you consider to be "very high" or simply normal? Do you expect to live here fulltime or to split the year between Argentina and "home", wherever that may be? Do you want to bank...

Damn! The "young" clause again!!

If you've carefully reviewed the wealth of information to be found here and on the websites of the Argentine government (some are mirrored in English, but, if you're seriously considering a move soon, you probably read Spanish, too) without finding the information you seek, consult an Argentine...

I think that a careerist who retired from the American army in 1969 as a colonel can live very comfortably financially in either province or its capital city.

Plenty. Which militaries are you interested in?

But only because of a semi-literate governmental bureaucracy chose to construe it so! There's a long list of such foolishnesses. My favorite may be "gender" for "sex", so substitued because prurient minds might confuse "sex" with "sexual congress". RWS 'Glad to be a Native American of the...
