    Haye - Klitschko

    Silly little question, but does anyone know if they're showing this fight on Argentine TV tonight? Can't find it in the Cablevision search, but its not always published. Just wondering if someone knew or whether I'll have to search out some alternative means :) Thanks! Sean

    Working like in Argentina/South America?

    Thanks so much Toulouse! So, as an employer, have you found it particularly difficult working out here? It sounds like you constantly have to have your guard up!

    Working like in Argentina/South America?

    They seriously ask you for that sort of stuff??? Sounds intense! So, if you'd answered the wrong beer would they not have given you the job? I heard something about them doing psychological profiles of you when applying for some roles here. Is that the reason they asked you those questions, or...

    Oops - anyone know how you change a title? I sound like Paris Hilton... (obviously meant to say working life!)

    Working like in Argentina/South America?

    Hiya - I've been asked to help a friend out with a small section of a project focused upon foreign experiences of working in South America (the section, not the project!). Basically, he needs to write a section highlighting some of the key differences/things to look out for when working in...

    Spanish-American Newcomer's Observations

    ^ I found your post quite funny, but the part about the garantia is just wrong. If you could explain how everyone here could get one then it would have some validity. But, yeah, generally I agree that you can live on far less than 10,000 a month.

    Ash cloud and flying

    The regular news feed today says that the ash could be returning to BA. They'll be meeting later this evening to discuss what to do. But it seems to change every other day, unfortunately. Sorry I can't help with a website.

    Carne Para Todos

    Yep, it's actually in the station, right next to where the timetables are if my memory serves. syngirl - I didn't realise you could order by phone! May have to check that out. I am definitely going to stock up now that I know where one is. An asado for 10 people at 500g per person is around...

    Carne Para Todos

    So here's one for any bargain hunters out there... I heard about this cheap meat lark that Kristina was using to get a few votes and didn't pay it much mind. BUT on Saturday I actually stumbled upon one of these places that sells meat at government prices and literally couldn't believe my...

    Spanish-American Newcomer's Observations

    I think in comparison to how cheap things were, the city seems expensive to me now. For instance, I'm not sure you'd find a good quality blazer for 140 pesos (was it in cuotas perhaps?). Anyhow, if you did it's not the norm. And generally, I'd say clothing was over-priced. Maybe the country is...

    Spanish-American Newcomer's Observations

    Wow - I think I used to be that enthusiastic once! I think some of your observations may change with time, but I wish you all the best! Having been here for 10 years, I'm not sure I see the country in exactly the same way, but part of me wishes I still did.

    expats in La Falda, Cordoba area?

    I don't live there, but I LOVE it there. We may be over there (well, in Valle Hermoso) during the year and if so we'll give you a buzz. Sean

    Bribed by a Federal Police Officer

    Not meaning to drag up an old post, but the same thing that happened to the OP just happened to me, with the same certificate. I reckon they just see it as a way of making extra money and try it on all the time. I was with my wife and the officer actually said that if we hadn't been married he...

    General Police Check Requirements/UK Police Checks

    Thanks for all that info! Scottswan - the Disclosure Scotland site seems like a really good option. They say it's valid for England and Wales, as well as Scotland. Did you just fill it out online? Also, did you have to then get this apostilled? I think that's the part that''s gonna take a...
