The issue with h1n1 is not that it requires hospitalization or how deadly it is - it is WHO requires hospitalization and WHO is dying from it which differs from who requires hospitalization or dies from standard influenza that we see annually. Yes, it is 'less deadly' than your average flu -...

Sorry but the logic that once it's a flu it's just like any other flu is pretty weak. It is affecting atypical age groups - ie has been extreme (requiring hospitalization) deadly for many who are younger and healthier than who would normally succumb to the usual flu. Not saying your source...

Sorry, but H1N1 /swine flu is not just another flu. WHO and HOW it affects certain population segments is completely atypical and abnormal. Fox News should never, ever be considered a news source, unless you include gossip rags such as the National Enquirer in that category....

I think passport numbers NOW change every time they are renewed, but I think this is a practice which began within the last 5 years. I'm quite certain all my previous passports had the same number but my most recent certainly doesn't.

...and here I was all psyched that someone was organizing a Scattergories night (tho my true passion is Cranium). I saw a store with lots of toys and such on Av de Mayo, up near Congresso, and can check out if they have it next time I'm in the area (Spanish class) in about a week.

So excited to try these :)

Any suggestions for where to get Peruvian food ? Both nicer and casual places, please. Extra points for one in San Telmo (we're craving ceviche tonight) but in general, anywhere around town. Thanks!

I actually think I'm drinking less here than at home, which surprises me plenty. I drink little if at all at home (a glass of wine here and there) (where I live alone) - only out for dinners, with friends, or at lounges/clubs. Here, I have a roommate who doesn't drink much, plus the heat, and...

Does anyone know if one can simply buy tickets for once the Teatro Colon reopens May 25th ? (and if so, where) I'd like to see La Bohème, preferably in that first week or so. http://www.teatrocolon.org.ar/imagenes/pdf/TEMPORADA%202010.pdf On the site it discusses memberships but no mention of...

"Mary" : Considering EVERY post you make is about this school, why not just be up front and post on behalf of the school ? User-generated feedback/ testimonials only work if the user has some credibility... (and tend to work against you otherwise.)

Guns, gold, or property ? Picking any ONE of these exclusively is such a weak investment strategy that it doesn't even matter which one you pick. Diversification is the only investment 'instrument' which can be expected to sustain currency fluctuation, devaluation or (apparently) the coming...

In addition to a GoDaddy or similar template sites, you could also consider using/ learning WordPress. Depending on how complex a site you want, you may also consider using WordPress to power your site. You can use it as a blog (wordpress.com) and it's just like a normal blog. BUT, if you buy...

Anyone??? I know they are out there :D

No offense, but that doesn't really sound like you were harassed by the cops. Sounds like you were perhaps lucky not to be detained in the drunk tank.

I like this thread. I find the more you are exposed to the more points of view you are able to entertain, and the better perspective you are able to have on just about any situation bc you can view it from so many differing angles. I was born here but culturally I am entirely foreign, though I...

To avoid the fee, I think you could simply use the German passport. Assuming you do indeed lunch in Colonia every three months, I don't see why you would bother switching btw the German and the American, as many Americans do this. Doing so with your German would allow you to stay within visa...

Cute - so glad this worked out for all involved. Congrats And what a story: So this guy, on a forum we frequent, was a bit tipsy, and befriended a kitten after the bar one night (early morning), in Buenos Aires...

I have heard about services that deliver a certain number of bottles of water to your house weekly for low cost, does anyone have any information on providers, prices, etc. Also, do you know if they also collect the empty bottles (and reuse them) ? Part of the reason that we are interested in...

Keep your savings in gold & silver ? Now I've really read it all. Holding a small amount of savings in a variety of currencies is a decent idea as a disaster contingency but really, not necessary for most. That would include gold & silver, but also USD, CAD, Euros. But keeping it all in gold &...

Juana M. It's on Carlos Pellegrini & Posadas, so in the vicinity tho not right there. Love it & anyone I've introduced it to fell for it, too.
