Some excellent navigation by Team Vestas. Last time I looked at a chart of the Indian Ocean , it sure seemed big enough to miss a small shoal.......... the girls on Team SCA moved up a place.......

With your attitude towards the medical profession , good luck finding someone . There are specialist for everything , like the whole world over. Leg ? Hip ? Neck ? Knee ? Shoulder ? I know a great shoulder specialist , who trained with a good friend in the US who is the orthopedic doctor of the...

A sailboat race. I did not win.............

The Sadia Pavitas are good. A little small at 5-6 kilos. They are imported from Brasil. just a little pricy though , as Nikad points out . My local Granja's laugh when I ask for pavito.........

Sorry your husband was robbed. Never a good experience. If the OP wants to import his moto , he has every right to do so , within the rules. We all have to use due caution in our everyday lives to protect our property and our families. To clear up some of your comments , there would be no import...

No one gets a deposit back. If you do , it's a minor miracle , where the landlord should be put up for sainthood. Echo: Do not pay the last months rent...........

It's the Chinese Yuan for pesos for dollars swap...... for sure.

If you are able to get your local consulate to approve it , and sign the correct documents , they have to let you import it. It is true that getting a correct answer is most difficult in Buenos Aires. I imported my 1988 BMW 635 CSi , and had no problems at all. It is completely legal with...

I used to sail with a good friend from Russia. He now has his US citizenship , but while still a Russian National , for him to travel to Europe on a Shengen visa , he had to submit his passport , 3 months bank statements , round trip tickets , an official invitation for the sailing event , and 3...

There are always more sides to the story. Perhaps he had been warned numerous times to not sell there. I am sure the guys on the truck over reacted , but were probably doing their job , certainly far beyond what was needed. However to compare them to the Nazi's , is absolutely ridiculous.

Call a despanchate , such as DISPER slr 4381-5554/5564. They can tell you everything you need to know.

I would avoid the Chinos as they are more expensive for most items. In an emergency , I buy there , but it is only a 1/2 block away.

I have a 2005 BMW R 1200 GS ( blue on silver ) sitting in storage in Tampa. Full Paniers , Top bag , Tank bag , custom seat , tools , GPS mount , ready to go. Lets ride down together , or tell me what HD you have. I would consider a trade. I asked around , and there seem to be some additional...

My villa in the Italian Riviera is treating me just fine. No bong needed. Just good food , great wine , a view of the Med and my lovely wife. Friends , family , nice cool weather. My mind is so far away from Argentina. Sueno en Italiano ....... So , why am I reading threads on BA expats ...

It is not easy , but can be done. First issue is that the Moto must be titled to you at least 6 months prior to you receiving your DNI. You must get the title appostiled. Then it must be approved by your local Argentine consulate. Then you set up the shipping , and it must arrive no later than 6...

Happens all the time.

I shopped long and hard. Finally decided on a Bosch , made in Brasil. Electric , as in with a cord. No recharging batteries. it is a hammer drill , works great , is only 5 years old or so. Bought it at a fairly large ferratiria shop off the Panamericana , near the Sodimac. Huge selection of...

Is that a bong on the mantle ? He hit before the video.........

Serafina, I could not agree with you more. Growing up in an Italian family , and spending a lot of time at the family home in Liguria , the food question in Argentina rattles me. I am off to beautiful Cinque Terre for a month of wonderful Italian food. There is nothing like the Market in La...

Sometimes it is possible to get a rental at a higher rate with no deductible or large hold on your credit card. I use a low limit card when renting cars , and them claim it lost and have it replaced. That way no additional charges can be made to it , for traffic violations to unjustified damage...
