    Tourist Visa Controls - 12 Colombians Deported At Eze

    I think the would have the info, if they looked for it, but not at the desk and it might take searching. As for the biometrics, they don't use them to search/identify, at least not yet, otherwise they would take them before they pull up your record, and not after, right now are not doing...

    Tourist Visa Controls - 12 Colombians Deported At Eze

    While they may have all your info in the computer system, that does not mean that the agent looking over your passport has that info. Otherwise why would they ever look through your passport, they would simply see the date/time calculations on their computer. They are working on syncing all...

    Any 'closed Doors' Restaurant Recommendations?

    If you want the shared table experience you can get that at Casa Saltshaker for sure, they only have one communal table. Some of the others may as well but I haven't been to another that did.

    Cleaning Metal Filters From Stove Hood??

    What did you use to wash them? The problem is it's all once piece, can't really take it apart and there are multiple layers of metal so the center pieces don't seem to be getting clean.

    Cleaning Metal Filters From Stove Hood??

    We have a stove hood with removable and presumably cleanable metal filters, anyone know what product will work to clean them? Based on the look of them no one has attempted this prior to me so years of buildup. Alternatively is there a place to buy new ones at a reasonable price? I tried...

    New Years Eve In Argentina

    People do go out for NYE and there are a lot of parties, the problem is that most of them start very late. Most locals will spend the first part of the evening with their family, only going out to see their friends after 2-3am. The expat bars will probably have events starting much earlier...

    Food Warmers?

    I've seen this asked before but can't remember the terms or the answer. I think these are hard to find here. I would suggest utilizing the microwave if you have one to reheat the dishes that have cooled before serving. I would also wrap the hot dishes in a good layer of aluminum foil and then in...

    Cheesecloth

    It's not dry cooking so that's OK. My friend said that gasa panaler should be the same so I'm gonna check it out in the stores and see.

    Cheesecloth

    well I finally found something tonight on mercado libre, the only thing even remotely like it Tela De Gasa De Puro Algodon I want to use it for making cheese, ricotta, but also for cooking my turkey, found a great new technique to try...but I'm a little wary to get it or to use a t-shirt in...

    Cheesecloth

    I know people have asked in the past, but haven't seen any real answers. Has anyone ever bought cheesecloth in Buenos Aires? If so where, and what is it called here?

    Puerta Cerrada Complications?

    They aren't all illegal, I know Casa Saltshaker is a real business and I'm sure some of the others are as well. So that would mean health regulations on the kitchen and taxes. Sorry to report that Chef Mun left Mendoza, I believe he's relocated to Germany now.

    Thanksgiving.

    The Brazilian turkeys are supposedly very salty, I would try to get one from Cordoba instead.

    Thanksgiving.

    We ordered one from the poultry guy in the Belgrano market one year. That's about as north as I know. Turkeys aren't uncommon if you order it now one of the local butchers can probably source it by next week.

    Yes the Frankenstein shoes have become very popular this year. I wonder if there has been an increase in Orthopaedic visits as well?

    More Border Controls?

    If you have only been in Argentina, 5 months now, I wouldn't worry too much about it. I am presuming you have tickets back to the US on January 29th? If so bring proof of that travel and you shouldn't have an issue. As for the overstay, last I knew it was $300 pesos, so you have to determine if...

    What To Wear Day To Day!!

    Yes, I would bring sturdy rain boots and a very strong umbrella, when it rains here it often rains hard and you get soaked without them.

    Rental Car, Crack In Windshield Question

    A crack that big cannot be fixed and will require a new windshield FYI. I would read over your contract very carefully, I'm sure there's something in there about not repairing the car yourself. It's unlikely to be covered by the insurance but you might be able to get some coverage through your...

    What To Wear Day To Day!!

    You can wear anything, you will see people in all sorts of dress here. Most people avoid heels if they're walking around a lot because as stated before the sidewalks can be a disaster, loose tiles, broken tiles, cobblestone are all very common. Also the city gets very slick when it rains, which...

    Noise From Demolition Next Door - How Early Can They Start?

    Not sure on the time either, but I agree with Nancy, if you are in a situation to move, it's your best option. Construction takes a long time here, if they are still demolishing, imagine how long it will take them to put up and finish the 7 story building they're replacing it with! Of course you...

    Container Garden Pests Aphids/mites Help!

    Thanks, I also found some Tierra de Diatomeas online, so hopefully I'll be able to pick up some today, and one will do the trick. I like my new garden I don't want to lose it to these suckers! :)
