" Impeachment Will Not Solve The Mess In Brazil" is the title of an article in today's Washington Post which you can read in today's BA Herald as well. Really? OMG..Michel Temer promised a gov't of national salvation. What happened? Goldman Sachs says Brazilian gov't debt will continue going...

Australia's Gulag Archipelago by Julia Baird in today's NYT Op Ed August 30.'16 Australia's policy is that no one arriving by boat can be considered a refugee. People who live in glass houses really shouldn't throw so many stones Lucky...

Musica en los Bares Notables 2016 Free Folklore,Jazz and Cafe Concert music by local artists in different notable bares throughout BA City. I should have listed this under Suggestions for Eclectic,Fun Restarants? but...

In today's Clarin (8/29/'16) which as we all know is unabashedly pro Macri we read that US people are now "locos por la Argentina". Tourism from that country is up 18% over 2015 to 200,000 in the first semester of this year almost equaling the 2008 record year of 227,000 . A big photo shot of...

Once again we hear from The Bubble "La voz de ellos que no tienen voz" but in English already yet.. I could be wrong but I believe that Australia has an island detention center for illegal immigrants. Maybe one of the Bubble staff from Australia could clarify that for us. ?

Ries;: OK. Depending on your personal budget your statement is true..".... for equivalent food,I eat cheaper in BA,in every quality and price category." .Because of my work I became used to eating most of my meals out decades ago. Most of the midtown noontime eatery...

Here we go again with Argentina for Export . Visiting US people will find Argentina a little less cheap than before as the blue dollar is close to phase out Many, if not most, of US people like myself who live here full time will probably frequent less "eclectic,fun" places but still places...

I would think that the present gov't would be sending out strong signals that Argentina's immigration regulations would be getting stricter. they very possibly are looking to better control illegal immigration from neighboring countries which got out of control under thr Ks...

rickulivi: For what it's worth I just thought I'd throw out an idea to you. you could take a look at the many -maybe 100-MeetUps that are listed on the MeetUp listings website For example.there's one this weekend on Creatividad -Meeting de Creatividad en Buenos Aires.Una charla...

it is mostly the working poor and minimum wage employees- who have had to "pay the piper" for crony capitalism (like Macri Sr.),fat cat union capos and totally unecessary midllemen causing high price markups on products like fruit. Macri has said he plans to end all of this and he must be held...

TomAtAlki: Hi and I'm glad you liked Quinn's. I'll be back up there myself this time in September.

Bradly: Yes.I have been following this closely.Therefore,I have to agree with you that Macri did,indeed,make a mistake which in essence was breaking the law by not calling for "las audiencias publicas".The Supreme Court correctly called him down for it as well as reminding him of...

What can be done instead of "waiting for Macri to get around to the hard stuff," is to goal set him and use the country's institutions to call him to task if they feel he isn't doing what he was elected to do.This is also what" la audiencias publicas" are all about..

I remember blueberries or "moras" being available for purchase here as far back as 1979 when I came to live,I also have a faint recollection of them in Bariloche and Rio Negro in 1967 when I first visited that area.Whether they were grown commercially or not I have no idea.I also remember...

Churchill: Love your handle and your post. Few,if any,Argentines of any social or economic strata are willing to make sacrifices of any kind.That is why the country is what it is. Artigas. Let's give it some more time,OK...

artigas: Please,don't take us for fools-,"no nos tomes por pavotes".Breaking up the local price fixing monopolies" is exactly what the 2 previous K administrations did not do because they were beholden to the local customary Peronist populist protectionist economics in force...

It is price collusion or price setting and has been a fairly common practice in Argentina for about 75 years.Especiall during Peronist govts.Many papers have been written on this subject.

TomAtAliki: Absolutely agree. It's just that eternal malcontent and devil's advocate Camberiu up to his sensationalist antics again. Will he ever give it a rest?

greenkomodo: With the present fallout from the K administration still hampering the economy,I wouldn't think very far job or $$$ wise. Just a question.If you're half Colombian,have you tried Colombia.they're improving economically now I,think you could get...
