    Live By Las Canitas Or By Malba/club De Amigos

    I live near Malba. Yes, there is a villa behind Paseo Alcorta and a stable population of beggars on the corner of Salguero and Figueroa Alcorta (sorry, the word 'beggars' doesn't sound nice... pardon my non-native English) , but it is not unsafe at all. I have returned from Paseo Alcorta across...

    Ataque De Higado

    Funny. When I lived in Miami I had an American friend married to an Argie and she always made fun of our 'ataques de higado'. True, no one knows what it is, but, as said above, I believe it has to do with feeling like crap after eating too much fatty food (choripan gives me ataques de higado...

    Priceless: This Is The Start Of The Anti Corruption

    Funny how, just a year ago no K supporter would fight or acknowledge the opposition - they would simply pretend the opposition did not exist. Now, after many many failures, it seems like they are trying to do some damage control. Too late, Bajo. Question: do you get a bonus for writing your...

    What Is A Good Store To Buy A Bookshelf?

    I spent $ 619 in a 6 - compartments shelf at Easy a couple weeks ago (approx. 1,30 tall x 1 m). They have it in white and dark brown "wood" (or wengue). It is called a "modulo" or "estanteria". They have other options as well, like 4 compartments, 12 compartments, etc. Good luck!

    La Campora To Look After Us All

    I wonder if those Campora kids will be standing in front of cuevas as well? Funny how they are starting to look like those "milicos botones" they despise so much... "Ya no sos igual, ya no sos igual, sos un vi-gi-lante de la Federaaaal.... "

    Skype Ain't Cuttin It....

    Hi! I started a thread months ago regarding problems with skype. I un-installed the program and reinstalled it and I am having a great connection again. I have Arnet. I also use Vonage - not so good when calling cell phones abroad.

    Safe Blue Place?

    I'd like to compare. What about rates? Last Friday I wanted to sell 200 USD and the rate was 9.40 pesos per dollar ... Sounds too low? Or is it ok? I go to a Pago Facil on Olazabal (and Cuba y think).

    Bono Argentino!??!!?

    Hahaha c'mon! "Save Argentina, united". Save it from what? (typical paranoid argument, "they" don't want us to grow, we are helpless little children). Never have I seen Argentina so divided... and it is all thanks to all those rants about "oligarcas" and "clase obrera" which the K's love to...

    Frizz Control?!

    Try having a "shock de keratina" ... it is a treatment that lasts a couple months, and it is recommended to de-frizz hair - costs around 140-200 pesos (depending on hair lenght) in hair salons. So worth it. They comb your hair strand by strand using this product called keratin which "seals the...

    Souveniers For Famiy And Friends In The Us.

    Silver and/or wood teabag display boxes. You know what I mean? Like those they have at La Brioche Doree and McCafe, with compartments for different kinds of tea.

    Imperfect Translators Are Often Useful

    Translating is not the same as interpreting. Argentina's "traductores publicos" seem to be more trained to work on translating legal documents and written material, not on conversation. What you probably need is an interpreter, or, as PhillipDT said, someone who is bilingual and has been...

    Is President Kirchner Improving The Lives Of Argentinos?

    Err, I find you have the same problem. Sounds like Lorenzino when asked about inflation: "eeeehh, it is complex, me quiero ir". Please Bajo_Cero, get over it already... have you seen the poll results?

    French Sunscreens

    Hi, I can confirm that La Roche Posay and Vichy are available in pharmacies - do not expect a huge selection, though... If I pass by a pharmacy I will check for Mexory XL. Chau!

    Is President Kirchner Improving The Lives Of Argentinos?

    Agreed, but you forgot to add that the current government is the same as all others. Please, dictatorships, menemismo... what about CFK? Oh yeah, right, she is different. :confused: C'mon. What do you think of Lorenzino? Aren't you ashamed of that episode as well? Or Moreno telling protesters...

    Mailing Food/used Technology To Bsas?

    I went to Retiro yesterday for the 1st time. I had 3 kg worth of organic candies (bulk, no brands) sent from The Netherlands. I did not have to pay anything at all (I was told by a friend that I got lucky). I spent 30 minutes. Maybe because it was as Friday 3 pm and everybody wanted to leave...

    Is President Kirchner Improving The Lives Of Argentinos?

    Hmm let me think: Less violent thefts? No. Less people sleeping in the streets? No. Less children working in the subte? No. More police doing their job? No. Population living in harmony? No. Better public education? No. People hopeful about the future? No. Easier to do business and travel...
