This is an old post but I just wanted to comment in case anyone searches for soy milk in the forum. In China Town, in several of the markets, they indeed sell soy milk. The posters who said it doesn´t exist apparently did not know about China Town. There is at least one market that specializes...

Last night I went to the outdoor concert in the Costanera Sur to hear Mavi Díaz + guests (Mavi is the daughter of the late Hugo Díaz) and Luis Salinas. It was a great evening and I recommend checking it out another Saturday or Sunday night if you get the chance. The mosquitoes were not too bad...

The longer the package is at Ezeiza customs, the more expensive it is to claim it. I would follow up immediately and go to the airport ASAP.

Little arnold do you mean that legally Yasmin is the only birth control pill available without a prescription? Really? Regardless of the law, in practice I´ve never had a problem getting pills without a prescription. In fact, I´ve never even been asked for one. Prices range from about 30 pesos...

Did your Canon camera get stolen or break and you still have the charger? The charger I´m looking goes with Canon Lithium Ion NB-5L batteries from the following Canon digital cameras: SD700IS, SD790IS, SD800IS, SD850IS, SD870IS, SD880IS, SD890IS, SD900, SD950IS, SD990IS, SD970IS & SX200IS. My...

Montrose - is your dad in your hometown? Which city? I got my official copy on the spot by going to the County Registrar´s office (I requested two copies just in case). Then you have to go to the Secretary of State´s regional office to get it apostillized. Your dad can do both for you and send...

Have you tried these pizza places? http://www.guiaoleo.com.ar/list.php?navby=Cocina&parname=Pizza&par=31 Angelín was good for delivery a couple of years ago (I can no longer eat gluten otherwise I´d give it a try now), although it was absolutely blasted by the Guía Oleo reviewers. What about...

The brand is SwissJust. It is not sold in stores - only by vendors such as Pandi´s friend. http://www.swissjustamerica.com/ar/home.php?p_id_pais=2

It´s not orange season right now and the produce was compromised first by floods a few months ago and now drought (aside from the floods in San Antonio de Areco there has been little rain overall this summer). Plus, as someone else pointed out in an earlier post, some of the best produce is...

I would be VERY CAREFUL at the Mercado Central. You will stick out like a sore thumb tattooed with ¨rob me I´m an extranjero.¨ An article from LNR about sexual abuse in minors at the Mercado Central: http://www.lanacion.com.ar/nota.asp?nota_id=1210181

I´ve NEVER seen screens on windows in 3.5 years Argentina. Do they exist here? I bet they have them in Misiones at least. Do they have them at the hardware store here in CABA? I just need the material, as I can manage to put it in the window myself. Btw, my boyfriend laughed when I asked him if...

I arrived yesterday and wasn´t charged a fee. I was, however, asked by the immigration agent what I´m doing here, and I noticed he had an attitude that I don´t normally get from the guy at the window (sometimes they ask if I live here because of my Argentine accent and I giggle and respond...

I like the Farmacity brand of contact solution, and I stock up when it's 2x1. On a related note, once I switched to Acuvue Oasys, 2-week disposable contacts which I bought online in the U.S., I no longer had dryness issues. markbsas - bring Tupperware from home! Included on my list that...

I have rented cars without an international license. I wouldn't worry about it.

Thanks, oxente! If I understand correctly, you did not get the copy of your diploma notarized nor apostilled, but rather simply had a lawyer "certify it". A notary is not a lawyer. Hmmm. Igor, my university does not notarize diplomas before sending you them by mail (in my case it is a 'degree...

It doesn't appear that the U.S. Department of Education does this. If it were a public university, then the governor's signature would be on it, and then it could be apostilled by the Secretary of State.

I am planning to apply for a Master's in Education at one of the schools in Buenos Aires (I'm still researching the options and talking with schools). If I can get everything together, I will start in Feb/Mar/Apr - depending on when the program I choose begins. In preparation for the Student...

Or in the case of Menem, the corrupt 'chanta' par excellence who ended up back in the Senate after his enormous failures as President (let's not forget that he pardoned the main guys of the Dictatorship).

Never walk around La Boca during the day, not even in a group. Caminito is OK but be very vigilant. Never fight back! LOTS of kids and adults carry guns and you never know...Mirtha Legrand, a kind of Argentinian Oprah who has had her own TV show over 40 years, recently organized a march...

I quite liked UBA Spanish (the Language Lab at the downtown location), and my classes had 10 people or fewer. I took levels 6 and 7 (8 is the highest), so perhaps that has something to do with it. The level of instruction was outstanding - much better than Lenguas Vivas. In the summer, the...
