If a new church sets up near a pre-existing telo, that is a different matter. The law says that a new telo can't be opened near a place of worship, not the other way around. Thank you very much Gringo! That article was written by Rosie Hilder, who between her music and writing is the most...

This piece was heavily researched as well :) http://wander-argentina.com/argentina-sex-hotels-telos/

While Putin sounds like the voice of reason in that video, that 'article' is laughable, presenting opinion as news. In the first para it says, the 'once drug addict now US leader.' Completely libelous. Later it says, 'Christ is Victorious in Russia where homosexuality is still a sin. ' I'm not...

But Argentina is a G-20 member, no? In this video she appears more sober than the one that appeared today in La Nación (http://www.lanacion.com.ar/1617328-enojada-con-obama-cristina-reclamo-una-ley-contra-los-fondos-buitre) alongside the article discussing how she was dissed by Obama. She's...

Instead of seeds I buy baby plants from the feria since they are only 5 or 10 pesos each. Haven't had too much luck with my container gardening in years past although the basil did last a while, but this year I am recycling plastic containers, making self-watering pots and they seem to be...

This post is very satisfying as I work with young writers and have been insisting on across the board use of 'Argentine,' on my websites and have met much resistance. I've doubted myself because some dictionaries insist that Argentine should only be used as an adjective and not a noun but the AP...

As I have a case myself going, I have to disagree. The woman assigned to my case is a nightmare. She says originals aren't originals, an apostille isn't an apostille, refuses to file my paperwork and goes into a tirade about 'do you know how your country treats us?' everytime I go there to...

For me the reason the milk is gross is because the cows are treated with bovine growth hormone which makes their udders swell and become infected, causing pus and blood to get into the milk -- that's why it has to be ultra pasterized. Then to treat the infection they are given antibiotics, which...

Not me, that's why I said 'if' -- just relating my experience. Having lived in countries where you get thronged by people just walking down the street if you're white, being able to blend improves one's quality of life. These days, black expats will also have an easier time here on the sticking...

A friend from childhood is a senior advisor on his staff and I know she doesn't have a drop of malice in her body but Obama has created a whole lot of cognitive dissonance with the sly bait and switch on a number of issues. In 2007 he said he would mandate labeling for GMO foods. Instead his...

I hope you're kidding. Otherwise that is clearly sociopathic behavior.

That was an interesting story on This American Life. The best is when you are wearing sandles and slide and it squishes between your toes and you are on the way to meet a client and then you have to find a dirty puddle to wash it off the best you can. And telling someone to go back to their...

How frustrating! Sounds like Canada is taking a cue from Argentina with the busy phone line trick! I don't know if this helps much but I am a Canadian born abroad to Canadian parents, it wasn't difficult to apply but I do remember that I originally applied (via mail at the time) in Ottawa but it...

Unless there is another corralito, I don't think the prices will drop. I got my apartment cheap but payed with my blood sweat and tears reforming it and having to become one of the members of consorcio in order to get general improvements made to the building. Dealing with contractors/workers...

That tram is suppose to eventually go from Retiro all the way to La Boca and up to Constitución. Fighting between the national and city government has stalled it though or it could be something more along the lines of developers and cronies wanting to buy up and develop land in San Telmo and La...

I take objection as you didn't want to see my 64m2 flat, all new plumbing, new electricity, new roof, hardwood floors, terrace and in your price range! Low expenses -- owner direct. If it didn't even pique your interest I think you are hard to please! Some pics...

United airlines tried to pull this on me, saying I couldn't board a flight without a return ticket but I got out of it. I don't understand how an airline worker can dictate how you travel. Maybe you plan to bike or hike out of the country or ride with a friend on their sailboat to Uruguay...

Read above. It's in the thread.

This happens to be one of my pet issues! Cancer is a major money maker -- the American Cancer Association is one of the top recipients of donations among non-profits but they do not fund research of non-patentable drugs such as dichloroacetic acid (DCA) -- a substance which is very promising...

Since I have an open citizenship case, I guess I should be okay but immigrations really doesn't recognize the citizenship process.
