    Crime Map

    Wow, thanks for posting the link to the crime map, Nikad. I just found out that someone in my building is a known coke/pot dealer! That explains why the hallway always smells like weed and why the guy downstairs has so many ''friends'' stopping by all the time.

    recent customs experiences?

    I just passed through customs at EZE last week and had no problems at all. I just plopped my bags through the scanner y listo. The official didn't even take my declaration form! I don't think it made much of a difference, but I did make sure to remove price tags and to not travel with any...

    shopping in BA? american products that i need

    Don't use Rexona! It's like putting no deodorant on at all. The only halfway decent deodorant here is Nivea 24h Dry (they have a men's and women's version).

    "Leaving America"

    Mmmm....not quite, Lucas. The US is not the only country that does not regard America as one giant continent. Since you're such a fan of Wikipedia, see for yourself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continent The seven-continent model is usually taught in China and most English-speaking countries...

    Heinz Baked Beans

    Hi there, you may want to create a new thread for this post. Not sure if you'll get a lot of coverage in the ''Heinz Baked Beans'' thread. I think your best bet would be to rent a temporary apartment. If you search through the forum posts, you'll come across a lot of helpful links. Best of luck!
