I haven't gained much weight but I worry for my cholesterol levels and liver due to an increased salt intake and my love affair with malbec. I enjoy the fact that the culture isn't obsessed with health here as they were in California (fad diets, obsessive marathon running, etc.) and living here...

My experience here has been really good. I'm floored by the amount of time and care my vet takes with my dog (who has a genetic heart condition). He writes pages of detailed notes, does frequent "control" exams and is really dedicated. He doesn't charge all that much either so he's obviously not...

I thought the Germans could have let up at a certain point to reduce the humiliation, but nope. Damn, that S*%T was cold!

I use Federico Curra Gagliano and have been really happy with him. He's very experienced/teaches at the university, etc. (contact info below). I also really liked the vet who did my dog's castration/neutering (he was referred to me by Federico): Dr. Boeri Paz, +54 11 4784-3184. It's a...

I'm proud of these boys. They keep plugging away. Dare I hope that Arg could go all the way this time?? We shall see….

The Seattle freeze article is interesting. My friend who lives in Portland says the same about that city - super friendly but distant people. I like the people here - they remind me more of the East Coast of the US where I grew up - possibly the Italian influence in both regions....

I love Necochea. It's like Northern California like 30 years ago...I've considered living there.

My car was broken into a number of times in San Francisco, CA but the losses were minimal. Here my wallet was snatched in Palermo as I took it out of my bag - thank GOD they didn't take the bag because at the time I had my sleeping puppy in it! I've had 2 maids rob me (both of whom I really...

If any of your group wants to stay in the city I will be renting my PH in Palermo Hollywood - I can provide pictures, details if there is interest :)

Same thing happened to mine and the quote was about the same....My landlady opted to buy a new unit versus doing the repair (not sure how much she paid for the new one).

Nothing is without risk but you're asking all the right questions and like Phillip above says, you have excellent reasons for coming. Do it! You'll be fine...

Mine is so similar to yours!

I've dated two Argentine guys since I've been here - the first was the stereotypical Argentine cheater, drama guy, etc. and the second has been one of the most down to earth loyal guys I've ever been with. I kind of feel like I lucked out with the second guy and the first guy was more of what...

I second this - Federico is awesome....

Hi guys, Would love your suggestions for a stellar BsAs dining experience? I've got guests in town and want to take them somewhere good - can be a bit on the expensive side. BTW - someone on this site recommended Estancia Margarita and it was amazing. About 4 hours south in Tapalque. Highly...

This is just busses, right? No issues getting taxis from EZE?

I used to do Colonia runs and be stressed at the thought of paying the overstay at migraciones but it is so not a big deal. I would always allow for some extra time but it's generally a fast/straight forward process the migraciones officials look like they couldn't care less about the whole thing.

My sympathies as well. What a terrible accident!! I really hope you are better soon.... If anyone has had any gum surgery here, I'd love a recommendation. Never had a cavity in my life but now I have this receding gum issue-ugh. I'd rather deal with it here than in the states since it's going...

I had a similar kind of teacher at the beginning and she also did my head in - I was overthinking everything and too afraid to open my mouth on the street and just practice for fear I was sounding rediculous (when in reality no one even cares if you're making mistakes). I think branching out is...

Coming from San Francisco I was sick to death of the PC stuff. I feel a lot of that is actually elitist and separatist not to mention super uptight and annoying. However, some of the racist stuff I've heard here has made my stomach turn. I suppose either end of the racist/PC spectrum isn't great...
