I'm looking for Oatmeal. The plain oats like with the Quaker guy on the round container. It does not have to be Quaker, just plain so I can make my own granola (I know hippie). I have made a cursory scan of the supermarkets but no luck...and did not look too hard. Thanks.

Last year at this time we bought our ticket here and paid US$250. But that was last year and flights all over the place have gotten more expensive. Why not google.ar and check the aerolineas website in spanish..may provide some insight.

Is there a "league" as well? Something a little more organized than "pick-up" (a ref, keep track of scores, jerseys, same day of the week), but not so intense that an expat (who is only ok, and a bit out of shape) will get chased off the field. Like an intramural league maybe with different...

argenprop.com and zonaprop.com both good sites. We found ours through these and saw some amazing places. Saw a great one in maybe not the most ideal neighborhood (Santa Fe y Libertad), but it was sweet: 2 bedroom, 90 m2, private terrace, cable, internet all in U$S 900/mo. Great layout...

Yes, the threads will do that. We are new in town as well and find BA to be kinda awesome. Cities are Cities, and its a lot like NYC but I find it much better in some ways...so far. Certainly better than Wilmington (which even though it is "A Place to Be Somebody" can be a little sleepy)...

Well, I can certainly update you as to the situation in NYC, after just finishing 15 years in Manhattan. As for Manhattan, broken sidewalks are extremely rare unless there is building construction or some sort of street/sewer construction. Almost non-existent (at least below 96th St). Dog...

Nikad: Did you have to use or broker or can you buy them direct inline through say an ETrade or Charles Schwab type account? I must admit I am not as familiar with the bond market (price v. yield gets me dizzy), but I am looking or something that perhaps a steady rise and ok dividend (like...

Wow, super defensive...if you do not recognize the need to look down A LOT because of dog shit, or broken sidewalks in BA, you must be joking or have not walked around much. As for the OP: Congrats on your bold move. It's super exciting and you are still young. Any desk you left will still be...

Is there a specialty food district that has boutique/imported fine foods or even local delicacies done to their best. (I am thinking something similar to Chelsea Market (since the OP referenced NYC)) Also, if not, how about at least an Italian Specialty food place with: Prosciutto di...

We have just spent about 5 days looking for a place and found one in Palermo, ad I have to agree with PostMod for the most part. First, a lot of temps especially on Craigslist, and through agencies are "expensive" compared to the overall inventory. They are totally geared to tourists. Sure if...

My chase bank says that I can write myself a check to avoid transfer fees, but will the B.A. banks accept them? Anyone have any experience with this. I tried to do a search, but "check" is too often associated with visa runs, I couldn't find anything useful. Thanks.

To obtain some of the coverages mentioned (OSDE, Swiss MEd, or the Medicus one) can you simply do it with a passport or do you need a visa status beyond tourist? Thanks.

For the people watching it at home 2 questions: 1. Are you doing it with Direct TV? And how did you get the dish installed? Do you rent your apartments. I just figured a landlord would not let you mount a dish on the building? 2. If online, what are the options? Is saw someone mentioned...

Is cutting down the SIM card only needed for iPhone 4? I have an old 3G which I just jailbroke and unlocked. (it is simple, just go on You Tube and watch any number of videos...most with links to the software you need) I was going to get a SIM card at Claro or Movistar tomorrow? I don't want...

EliA, Thanks for the post. The notes above are with respect to "alquilar temporario" /all included. Correct? Do you have an idea for pricing in those same areas with respect to "alquilar" 2 year apartments? I know most if not all require a guarantor with property, and come with nothing...

Is there a website that shows the statistics as to how many people actually applied for (let's call it) "2 Year citizenship". Through the courts. Where were they from, etc.? Numbers please. I have yet to see anyone on this forum say they have done it this way..not even the elusive "friend...

With respect to the whole "Constitution, 2 years of living "in country", and citizenship" debate, is there any sort of website that shows relevant statistics? Such as...out of 10,000 applications made to the Supreme Court (or whatever is the final governing authority), X were granted...

Ha, I think it is hilarious to even talk about the U.S. supermarkets/food scene and then mention boutique supermarket chains like Whole Check and Trader Joe's. Firstly, those chains, especially Whole Check, are high end, boutique supermarkets, that cater to (and this is generous) 1% of the...

Hey stumbled across this on my online journeys: http://mapa2.buenosaires.gob.ar/ It's kind of great because it auto-prompts for streets and locates intersections (which google maps seems to have a problem doing). It will also only prompt you for valid intersections so you will know if you...

Ok, Laurel, the short answer is: NO, you will not lose your U.S. citizenship if you voluntarily acquire Argentine citizenship. You may hold dual citizenship. To lose your U.S. citizenship, you have to make an official renunciation (as in a signed document) in front of a U.S. consular officer...
