Nashorama and Bigbadwolf....if your going to get technical.....most comercial yoghurts these days, in this market are made using the starters Lacotbacillus Bulgaricus and Streptococcus Thermophilus....one provides a "buttery yoghurt flavor", and the other provides the proper acidity....an...

    Plain yogurt

    Yes, Parmalat, which bought out the local company "Gandara" is pretty much history...they closed the plant and left hundreds without a job...and people like you without youghurt! I thought that Serrenisma made a plain youghurt....try and look for it...otherwise make it yourself! You just get...

    What is with the coffee?

    I would like to add one more thing. I used to have a cafe in San Isidro and we sold some coffeee drinks similar to those you get in the U.S. and they never did catch on. The customs of the Argies are so traditional...they get their small coffees "cortados" and only just recently started the...

Friends of mine are...

    Looking to sell my digital camera

    A friend of mine sells all his "stuff" through "mercadlibre.com" or else "deremate.com".....I always give him things and he sells it....the camera should sell well, since I see that here they go for about double the cost from the U.S. Tell me, how many pixels?....how much memory....its age?

    Dishes & Argentinian Tradition?

    No, sorry, but everywhere I go I see people with dishwracks, (been here 12 years and I live just like an Argentine). Rentals here are terrible and the realestate agents are big time liars....like many sectors....if its not on your contract....you wont get it after the fact...everything you buy...

    Information on Olivos suburb

    Yes Olivos has some perfectly good neighborhoods to live. You will be relatively close to Genaral Pas to go by freeway just about anywhere. BUT, try to chose wisely the exact place you live....some streets could have lots of problems with security while others are just fine. Look for the little...

    Thai in Buenos Aires

    I might be a little late in posting....but, I went to Lotus and it was "O.K."....a little too fancy and not quite as good as the Thai food I get in San Francisco Bay Area. I went yesterday to Sudestada....and really liked it...it had the "spice" I've been missing....I guess its Vietnames with...

    Moving to Buenos Aires from Rio

    Hi, I have a few comments that might help. I've been here 12 years. I like the "suburbs" rather than the city...places like: San Isidro, Acassuso, Martinez, Olivos. The city has some tranquil places but I wouldn't be an authority on where to live. Food: there is a LOT of meat consumption...too...

    Dinner at Mykonos

    Hi Kimberly, That was my first expat outing....I have been resisting "going out" and looking for Americans since I wanted to "live" and immerse myself in the country. But, I came to the conclusion that I cant "totally" relate to all argentines and decided to meet some americans. Do you know who...

    Dinner at Mykonos

    HI everyone, We went to the dinner last night and it was nice and fun....but, I didn't get to really meet many of you, bummer. I think all the entertainment made it a little dificult...although it was fun breaking plates, (even if it cost us 2$ each)! Maybe next time, in a quieter place....and...
