I've spoken with a local friend about the ants in our hose and he's recommended Hor Tal which you can buy from any Ferreteria or Vivero. Here's a pic.

Have a small prolific chilli plant. Bought some Dill, Tarragon and oregano today too. Would be interested in any mango chutney recommendations. Can you buy poppadums in the Indian shop in Belgrano?

Bought myself some Cilantro (Coriander ) seeds today and propagator at Sodimac. Looking forward to it growing as well as my Basil Plants . Bring on the curry!

Any new advice on bus from Ezezia to the centre? I have a friend who is arriving who will have to take the bus to the centre. I have no experience of this as I live in the west of the city and have never needed to take the bus. Minibus Ezeiza seems to be a good choice...

Great. Thank you. Looks like a trip to Sabores de India is on the cards. For future reference for people it's Ciudad de La Paz 1739 [email protected] Tel:4783-3424

Mango chutney too?!

Hi BA Expats, Anyone know where I can buy good Indian Spices. Particularly looking for Coriander. What's it called here? Hope to buy a plant or some seeds to plant in the garden. I have a small chilli plant which is taking shape along with lots of Basil. Any help appreciated. Thank you

Thank you to all the advice. I'm fairly certain they're carpenter ants. http://www.orkin.com/ants/ Have been spraying the area they come out from each day and they seem to be a lot less. Am going to try some ant bait too if they come back. They're actually fairly useless as they can hardly...

What are the latest theories on getting rid of pesky flying Ants?Any product recommendations? At the moment I am using a combination of chemical warfare in the form of spraying the blighters or squashing them. They appear to live behind a panel in our kitchen. Thank you in advance

I can also recommend St.Hilda's College in Hurlingham which is one of the top academic performing schools in Argentina. A traditional British school with over a 100 years of history following a UK and Argentine curriculum. Loads of sport and drama with an outstanding school orchestra. We've...

Another Argentine Paradox. I wonder what his opinion is of the Malvinas issue.. We'll probably find out soon as he'll be feted by the national TV channels.

Seems to have a bright future with the Peronistas/Kirchenites. Pleased to see he's wearing a Tottenham Hotspur shirt too.. http://www.clarin.co...1238306160.html

At my school, St.Hilda's College, we have had several expat students who have joined secondary with little or no Spanish and thrived in the friendly and academic environment. By the end of one year they will have learnt a lot of Spanish. My two sons aged 4 and 5 are now bilingual after a year...

We flew home in July to the UK for three weeks. Organised through trail finders. Excellent service and found us a very cheap flight on TAM even during the World Cup Finals. Can't recommend them highly enough. We bought it on our UK credit card however. Best thing to do is to call them on...

Here's an interesting thread from 2 years ago full of doom mongers and naysayers about bringing a family to Argentina. Unfortunately this forum can attract lots of negative vampires with too much time on their hands. Still it's a great resource once you filter out a lot of this...

We're a family of 4 who faced exactly the same as yourselves 2 years ago. We've now been here for 2 years and will probably stay for more time. We live in Hurlingham where I work at a great school, St. Hilda's College. Our 2 children are now 4 and 5 and doing really well at the school's...

Many thanks for the responses. Will get an AA one in the UK and then learn to drive Argentine style. Wacky races here I come!

Quick question. I have a UK driving licence, UK Passport and an Extrajenero Argentine DNI. I would like to drive in Argentina. What Argentine paperwork do I need to do to be able to drive here hassle free and within the law? Thank you kind people

Anyone having problems with American Express and paypal? Used to work fine. Maybe it's part of the forthcoming US sanctions... Visa never worked for me :angry:

Sheraton is coming up at $2205 a night which is too expensive for us. Also it has no kids playpark judging by the website.
