Do they sell "ant buttons" here. Not really sure what they are called, but small black and go on the floor. They are like smaller versions of "roach motels". If so is there a name? I don't want to use sprays as we have a young baby, but after the rains things get worse. Thanks.

17 pesos for a pretty decent sized bag.

The bad service has everything to do with the crappy labor laws (not being able to fire anyone easily) and old, uninterested staff. A lot of places (especially parillas) all seem to have old men doing jobs they are 110% bored to death with. It reminds me of some of the Old hotel bars in NYC...

While these are specific examples, there are just as many the opposite way. You would not hear a Yemeni person say they are "Asian" or someone from Israel say they are "Asian" even though they are on the Asian continent. The fact is language is more a living thing of "common usage" and not as...

We have OSDE and there is an additional service through them (or a partner group of theirs) that offers coverage but only up to $10K. Which may cover an average emergency visit but nothing catastrophic. When we were in the states and before moving here, we moved from our original area of...

I don't really think it is just N. Americans. I have an Argentine friend who hordes Speed Stick (no Scent) when he travels to the US as all the ones here have a strong scent. (Something to keep in mind). I think it really only matters if you are "brand loyal". As someone mentioned, there is a...

I have been using Claro recharge cards for a few months and I am still perplexed. Each time I out a new card on it sends me a text saying (i think) you have say: se acreditaran $30 recibiras de regalo promocional $30. But it seems when I use my minutes it only seems to use the first 30. Today...

I have a Nook, and the huge issue is that you cannot download books here in Argentina (or outside the US) as there are copyright legal issues. I am sure Amazon will have the same problem. However, there are some work arounds. 1, Technical one: if you are computer savvy you can (i believe...

I guess I just resent the snotty shits who bitch about prices and blog about it from their Mac Book Pros, with their iPhone docking station cranking out the latest iTunes purchases. And you know there are a lot of them....

Seriously? If you are 20 something, guys like dogs are everywhere in this town. Just walk out the door. Just remember that here, the skirt can never be too short, jeans never too tight, and bra never too pushed up.

In today's NYTimes: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/26/world/europe/26spanish.html?_r=1&ref=global-home I am waiting for the alphabet to get to 20 letters then start learning...

Anyone Know where I can get Salsa (like old el paso or something) I have a great Southwest Turkey soup for all the leftovers....

Not deep fried? I am disappointed indeed.

...hey,..I got some nuts for ya'! No really. The Disco on Paraguay had in-shell hazel nuts, which for me is a Thanksgiving/Christmas tradition once roasted.... Yes, they were seemingly not cheap, but I will admit to never having bought them back home so who can say for sure. And I mean how...

Individual slices? Sacre bleu?

They have Whole "frozen" turkeys at the Disco on Paraguay (in Palermo Soho). was there today and they had plenty. $21.99/kg and smallest one I saw was about $96 pesos. Not sure if the ones back home are frozen (i don't think so, but then again I have never cooked Thanksgiving dinner) Did not...

Here is my advice: With the right contacts (as anywhere in the world) you can find a job. But some things I can get you thinking about. First, how's your spanish? You'll need a bit more than basics to convince someone to give you a job. But I don't think being "native fluent" is necessary...

@Sandra, I think the OP was just talking about a 4 day vacation there not moving. While I do not doubt your experiences, I think a lot of the world (not just Uruguay) may not have the same food/refrigeration ideas/hangups the U.S. does. (I am still getting used to the idea that eggs are just...

Just be aware, similar to the U.S., applying for a "Work visa" is not a simple matter of acquiring the paperwork and applying. It's not like a driver's license. You will need a job contract from a company here and a sponsor (and I am pretty sure like in the U.S.) they have to show that you...
