Bajo, because I'm the second person today to receive your "you are missing the point" reply, I am going to give you a linguistic pass. I believe that you do not comprehend that this is condescending. A polite suggestion: when you think someone is not understanding your point, how about just...

I have no idea of his age, but of course I know people who lived through the 70's horrors. Am just astounded that the policies of the military gov't of 35 years ago would be projected forward 35 years and implied to be the new administration's policy???

I am curious about how far back this experience goes? Since Macri has been in office for only 4 weeks, the arrests without reason, followed by torture, can't be a policy put in place by him. Surely you are not saying his predecessor in office espoused this policy? Fifth: once they arrest...

I wish I knew of someone, so I could help. As for your question -Where ARE the expats? Maybe a lot of people are traveling for the month surrounding the holidays? I've noticed, also, that conversations aren't as numerous or lively as usual, and I'm hoping that everyone will leap back in with...

Sorry to have taken a troll-like tangent! Not sure what "impressive" is meant to be, but a nice, rather formal restaurant with delicious food is the New Brighton. Didn't suggest it earlier, because it is in microcentro and was closed for the holidays.

Noesdeayer, I was not at all referring to you, and would never think of you as a thread-hog. But I sure wish I could wave a wand and get you to use spaces between sentences.

Ceviche, like you, I appreciate the forum participants and all the personal experiences, advice and information everyone so generously offers. The political discussions can be very energizing and informative, too, and should be a chance to exercise freedom of speech. I agree that we are lucky...

That damn Macri at work again.

Vitel toné is a vile dish served at Christmas and New Year's dinners. I don't know why, unless it is to make us glad to see the old year over so we don't have to see it for another year? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitello_tonnato. "It is also very popular in Argentina, where it is...

Laundries often use a very basic, industrial detergent that has an almost stale smell, rather than the scented detergent sold for home use. They counteract that by spraying the finished laundry with a scent, usually "Vivex," that gives it a fresh smell. When I walk past someone with that...

What is Foadsto, please?

Of course. Because Cristina good; Macri bad.

I've never understood why some offensive or potentially offensive posts and threads are removed, while some threads remain, with a "this topic is locked" designation. Admin? Or anyone? Have been curious about this and would appreciate insight. Admin, please don't be offended by my question...

Hey! Ben! Have you forgotten that we are the Paris of South America?

Hi, Blaine - I wholeheartedly agree with Fangar. A visit of a month, or two, could be really helpful for you, when you have things taken care of with your house. (It sounds like a very good idea that you are renting it out instead of selling it.). The best months for a trial visit might be...

Have never been to Chila or Crizia - more info, please? Very much agree with all the other recommendations. Also like La Josefina, across from Museo Evita, and a newer place called La Costilla, on Humboldt, esq Gorriti.
