    Macri Cops:Coming to rob public facilities near you

    By the end of this year we should see Macri's long desired Metropolitan Police force on the streets of Buenos Aires. Many questions remain unanswered such as how they will integrate with the Federal Police and where they will operate from. The picture is starting to become clearer - I was at a...

    Mi Buenos Aires Querido

    BA is a transgender queen wiggling her wobbly bits at passing Westerners hoping for some respite from their chronic ennui.

    Mi Buenos Aires Querido

    Exactly - this is one of the things I love about the city, how many heladerias, panaderias, fabricas de pastas, fiambrerias etc do you have within a three or four block radius of where you live, they all have their own quirks and idiosyncrasies. When a new store opens in my neighbourhood I'm...

    BsAs ranked 13th in AskMen.com's Top 29 Cities to Live In

    It ranked 81st on Mercer's recently updated list and I would guess that the Economist's list would be similarly unflattering. This is a Men's magazine, the criteria, I think, are a little dodgy (as is the preponderance of US cities, unseen at the top end of the more well known lists), but as...

    Deadly Swine Flu paralyses Mexico City

    That's what they are reporting on the news. Airport workers in Ezeiza are wearing face masks also. As I understand it, these masks are effective in preventing an infected person transmitting airborne particles but really confer little protection from inhaling airborne particles on the wearer.

    Argentina and Great Britain Diplomatic Spat

    Two bald men, one comb, to abbreviate Borges. I asked some Argentine friends recently if Alfonsín was the father of democracy in Argentina, who was the mother? The answer soon emerged. Thanks Maggie!

    Encargadas/Porteros

    Damn, I think you're in my old apartment building. I know many stories of nosy, spiteful and just plain evil encargados - they are the lurking danger when you find that perfect apartment in that perfect location, you really should be able to interview them before signing a lease agreement.

    Getting to Ezeiza

    The 86 is now the 8 - you can get this bus the whole way, it runs through Plaza de Mayo, Plaza del Congreso, Plaza de Miserere and Plaza Primera Junta through Liniers, Mercado Central, Ciudad Evita to the airport.

    Police harassment in BA?

    Not me, CF is probably the least likely place in Argentina for this to happen to foreigners, but who knows what Macri's new wallopers will be like.

    Militant Byclist

    As it is anywhere in the world. Everyone has their own acceptable levels of risk, even if the probability of an event occurring is constant people will interpret the risk and modify their behaviour differently - the current BA hysterias regarding death by dengue or pibes chorros are stark examples.
