1) I don't. I pull out pesos about once a week for the week ahead. 2) My landlord is amazing. She'll accept dollars or pesos, but I try to give her dollars. Which means, yes, we have to then go and buy dollars with the pesos we withdrew. Haven't done this since the buying dollar restrictions, so...

You can always specify the type of warehouse it is. If it's for wood, then "lumber warehouse" or even "lumber yard." If it's for grain and animal feed, then "feed warehouse" or even "feed barn." It really depends on what it is being used for which is why you're getting many terms for it. As it...

That's a warehouse.

Dinner was excellent. Expensive, but excellent. Thanks for the recommendation. And to you, Mr. Random-Off-Topic Guy MasChicoTenes: "So I commend the enjoyment of life, because nothing is better for a man under the sun than to eat and drink and be glad. Then joy will accompany him in his work...

Two votes for Brasserie Petanque. That's where we're going! Thanks. And, we'll splurge. Just didn't want to get recommendations for the super expensive.

My wife and I are wanting to head to San Telmo for dinner tonight. Thought we'd get some of your expert opinions. Looking to sit down for a while. Spend no more than AR$160 total (we don't drink much). Thanks in advance!

We'll definitely stop by. Sending you an email.

No, I never did withdraw in dollars, but I was given the option once from Banco Frances. That's helpful to know. Thanks.

I haven't looked or done much research, but since the new dollar rules do you know of any ATMs that still offer dollars? My money and earnings are from the U.S. and I normally just withdraw into pesos, but occasionally I need dollars. I don't want to withdraw pesos, then buy dollars. That's...

Add two more. Stephen and Maggie.

PhilipDT, I just bought that part at the Mac store in Recoleta and I have the same problem. I'm at another coffee shop. I'm going to try to the advanced power strip now. Also, I searched online and it seems this is a common problem. My Mac's first problem!

Sleuth, Thanks for the link. I'm going to show the electrician this and see what he says. He might have one. They carry everything in his store!

I had an electrician come by the apartment today and he told me the whole apartment isn't "grounded." On my Mac, I use the grounded connector for extra length, and forgot the other piece. Since my Mac is assuming there is a ground and in fact there is not, I'm in trouble. He said there's nothing...

I have two of those. The problem is that even with them a shock is running through my laptop. It's the weirdest thing. The computer works fine, but when I touch it, a low electrical current passes to me and my arm eventually feels numb. I can't handle it! I think the ground is not working...

I just arrived in BA myself and have forgotten to bring something with me. I have a Mac laptop and need the World Travel Adapter Kit from Apple. If you are willing to help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it!

I was here in 2006 and don't remember so many places having Wi-Fi. Today, it seems like Wi-Fi is everywhere, which is great. But when did this happen? Did I miss it before or is it new-ish (since 2006)? Just curious.

I just arrived at EZE and declared two phones. The customs lady was texting someone when I gave her my form and she didn't even look at it. She didn't even look at the x-rays of our 8 bags!! We had all sorts of crap and I was admittedly a little worried. But it all worked out. Our flight was...

If you haven't heard: http://www.buenosairesherald.com/article/81081/man-in-critical-condition-after-palermo-shootout I'm moving to BA with my wife next week. I've spent time there before and am not naive about the crime. I've lived in a gang-neighborhood in Houston for a while which is worse...
