Loyal to her bestie Chavez´s way of doing things.

I didnt go to Wal Mart, I should have, I mostly hit up the opticas in Recoleta, everything from smaller mom & pop type places to a chain store like Vision + Bausch and Laumb are the ones I usually get, but at this point I am not picky: Lentes toricas (toric lenses) are what I need

Just thought I´d update: Similar to the scandal about the foreign meds not entering the country, I cannot get my contact lenses in BA at all because my lenses are toric and Moreno has blocked all of the imports of the companies that make this type of lens (Bausch and Lomb, Johnson & Johnson...

Movistar is a reputable company and I know personally that they are trying to shape up from a customer service perspective and have made serious strides and taken top action to do this (recent new CEO for Argentina came from the Madrid flagship, old one was shipped off to Venezuela if I am not...

This is yet another disadvantage to having an Argentine bank account and yet another reason why I am so glad I never even bothered. The fact that they want to keep the cash in the country yet ban foreigners with genuine, good income sources from opening up an Argy bank account never made ANY...

The extradition in Argentina apparently exists, however it seems to be quite lax and/or not easy to enforce, or maybe they just don´t care. One of Spain´s most wanted fugitives is living the life of riley right now in Puerto Madero and has been doing so for a few years and both Spain and...

This will also make it so that instead of the safety and convenience of carrying a debit card, Argentines will have to literally empty their accounts and travel with large amounts of cash being as they will not be able to use their debit cards for ATM/POS transactions abroad. Not everyone...

I´m an INDIGNADO Spaniard who lost my management government job in Madrid and is now living the adventure in BA...riding the wave. Id be happy to help you with your report.

Viajes El Corte Inglés :)

I have a friend visiting from the States who is on Xanax, her bottle fell out of her carry on on the flight over and she will not be able to get the items back until she returns. She doesn´t speak castellano and i have offered to run her over to HOSPITAL ALEMAN which offers a great emergency...

The Argy spending mentality kind of reminds me of those fashionista women in NYC who just HAVE to HAVE that Gucci purse even if it means eating canned soups for the rest of the month because the purchase wiped them out. Me I am by no means cheap, but do start to get nervous when my checking...

Gay dating is a pain in the ass in BA. I thought it was just me, but 2 gay friends from the States came last week and complained that it was so hard to actually MEET someone (IE: NOT have a one night stand and never see them again) I felt a little embarrassed to explain that it´s fairly...

Curiously Aerolineas was pending approval to join the Sky Team alliance (Delta, Air France, etc) and is still boasting about it on their web site and ALTA magazine. This would have given them a great deal of clout as well as the possibility to expand their network to include important hubs...

@Carver, no held up at gun point story behind the rings, thank God, just plainly stolen. The gun point thing has not happened to me and I hope it never does.. I can´t believe some jerk had the nerve to do that with your child with you. @DavidGlenn I live in Recoleta and this is where it...

Yeah, I heard the queen´s usual whiney voice blarring from a radio at a kiosco and asked the man to change the station, got a friendly laugh back and he complied. Sadly, the other 2 stations were playing the same bad song.

i think the end of the month makes criminals or even POTENTIAL criminals who are cash-strapped do crazy, desperate things. I had 2 rings stolen yesterday, however the joke is on the thief when he finds out that they were totally TRUCHO. I learned my lesson when I had my (authentic) Cartier...

I am a Spanish-American gay professional living in BA, and agree with everything that´s been said but personally don´t think that the ¨pushing around¨ or corruption that is mentioned in business dealings is particularly related to being gay. I think if corrupt officials see ANY reason for...

You like the Christian Louboutin shoes? (Made in France) You like the Hermes Birkin bag I´m toting (Paris--Wait list exempt for presidents) You like the Audi 8 I drive? (Also made in Europe) You like my vacation homes in Manhattan (the lovely penthouse where Florencia AKA FlorKi lived while...

Very interesting article in The Economist (the second in one week) about Argentina's inflation problem: http://www.economist.com/node/21548229 I especially love the drawing of Cristina as a witch stirring the cauldron LOL It´s funny but it´s not, the country is really in the spotlight now as...

It´s stuff like this that has made the Argentines create words such as UN KILOMBO.
