this old turkey again, every time there's a big quake, they come out of the woodwork. Last year it was cabrera and her "the CIA are causing earthquakes". here are some facts: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eqarchives/year/eqstats.php And please read this...

migraciones is the place to avoid. It's like walking into the lion's den. Either overstay and take the consequences or do the colonia run. I wouldn't ever go to migraciones, not even for the apparently allowed first extension.

I found this the most interesting sentence in the thread. It brings me back to the summer of 1986 and so many players' explanations of what happened on that patch of Mexican grass - or rather what happened about six and a half feet above it. :D marksoc, I don't agree with your politics, but...

I read the title as "can someone sell me the good stuff" and came in expecting a VERY different type of thread. :mad:

The one I shamefully always remember is the small bottles of quilmes...think they're 330ml. The day I arrived in BA, Jan 09, I found them for 2.15 in Coto....same bottle in same store is now 3 pesos, annual rate of increase = 19.76%

byt are "OK" but they will not bend over backwards to help you if you have a problem. They absolutely insist on cash payments for 80% of the rent too. I rented with them for 6 months and got friendly with the staff there and they told me that, yes, frankly, it was all done in "negro" and that's...

colonia has a few nice beaches actually, just that most visa-renewers don't head that way. When you come out of the port, head up the hill and you'll get to the main road...right takes you towards montevideo, left towards the old town. Go left but after a few blocks, look to take a right turn...

it's been entertaining watching my original point going off into numerous tangents. As you say, I posted very specifically about 13-16 year old girls with much older men and where, generally from what I could tell, money and the status of the guy was of absolutely minimal importance. I was never...

yeah, I was talking about the "adult age difference" thing,...totally different issue. I started the thread to talk about men/girls but now it seems to have gone off on another tangent completely. :D

I agree, there are less hang ups than you'd find back in UK/Ireland. yes, my post dealt with a very different issue. It was very much concerning young girls (under 16) with much older guys. Obviously, some of you have seen it too, some of you haven't. The world continues to spin.

the example I mentioned at the 15th birthday party, the guy in his 30s was even less well off than the girl's family. As I recall, he'd been in and out of prison numerous times. As you say, yes, the families have huge responsibility here, but there is more of a permissiveness to this phenomenon...

well it seems I'm not out of my mind...the numbers adding up didn't make sense. Perhaps it's just culturally more acceptable here. Cheers.

Yes, I have asked about the age of consent to pretty much all the people who told me these tales...and it doesn't make it less "icky" IMHO. One friend had a friend's sister coming to her 15th birthday (which is the big one here, like our sweet sixteen) with her 32 year old boyfriend. The mind...

OK, I've waited 2 years to make this post because I didn't want to rush in shouting off my mouth about something I didn't really "get". In my two years I've been here, I've now counted around 10 examples of friends/gfs/colleagues who have told me about friends/gfs/sisters/brothers, etc who are...

Are we all from America now?

Ah, Cabrera's back. So, can someone tell me how the US/Iran war is going. Haven't heard a lot about it in the local media, but, well, I presume it's raging as we speak.

hang on, a married guy in argentina had something on the side? No way. I am shocked to my very core. FWIW, I think christina would have been surprised if he HADN'T been cooking both sides of the pancake.

that's not how inflation works. Inflation in argentina, internal inflation with no reference to outside currences, is somewhere between 20% and 30%. The rises you talk of are explainable - the businesses concerned are covering higher costs. Nobody gets up and think "oh, let's raise all our menu...

apparently, as she landed, he tried to fob off a fake 100 note on her. for shame!

it wasn't me! :)
