    Mercado Libre Worth More Than Ypf

    I know it's global and if you go to olx.com you'll be directed to the page nearest your IP. Mind you, if you have an account, there's nothing stopping you from advertising from wherever you are.

    Are Argentina Girls Really That Bad?

    You may be interested to know that this topic is as old as the hills and the very same question was asked when this place started. Here's a reminder from 2006... http://baexpats.org/topic/480-girls-and-women-in-argentina/page__hl__+argentine%20+women#entry1537

    Syrian Refugees Prefer Syria To Argentina

    I think quoting inflation as the main cause is a little disingenuous and rather typical of the Argentine press. Is it so hard to admit that the family miss Syria, in spite of the war? It takes real guts to return to an Aleppo in ruins and I can't help feeling that there's a lot more to this...

    Do you always have to be such a creep?

    Mercado Libre Worth More Than Ypf

    If OLX got its act together and stopped looking so amateur, then yes, ML would have decent competition. I advertise bilaterally with OLX and ML and apart from ML's odious payment restrictions, such as forcing MercadoPago down our throats, their categorisation by product and location is very well...

    I Passed My Motorcycle Test Today

    Pedestrian, motorist or on a bike when you were hit by a car? My biggest bug bears are car drivers not bothering to look when they pull out, using mobiles when driving and slicing across two lanes of motorway to get to the exit which they think they'll miss because they were texting or whatever...

    I Passed My Motorcycle Test Today

    Actually, I'm glad I didn't think about it too long, especially when you listen to the horror stories. If you can put up with the other drivers, give them space, drive defensively and constantly be on the alert, it's a walk in the park. The main advantages are... Getting from A to B much quicker...

    Slightly larger yes, only 350cc, but I wasn't street legal shall we say. Problem is, the leap from 350cc to 650cc is expensive here, even with used bikes. These are my wheels at the moment>

    No PC police in a pub with a few beers.

    Crashed Macbook :-(

    This business of customers not returning for their goods is more common than most people think. I fix PCs and laptops in the Olivos area and this has happened to me on numerous occasions, in spite of phone calls, texts, emails and so on. I have no idea why someone wouldn't come back for their...

    What Happened To The Dvds For Sale On Sidewalks

    There are quite a few DVD shops in Olivos and Martinez either in small galerias or down backstreets. They must be selling or they wouldn't exist and many also sell games on DVD, although with DRM being so tough nowadays, most games are digital download only today.

    Are Argentina Girls Really That Bad?

    No, this place in unique. Back on topic, Argentine women are very passionate, tend to be very possessive and tend towards the drama queen. They know how to make you feel special in so many ways as well.

    I Passed My Motorcycle Test Today

    Picked up my new driving license yesterday which is less than ten days since I got the ball rolling. Not bad going, so it's worth pointing out that these kinds of paper chases are a darned sight more efficient than they used to be. For example, and at least in Vicente Lopez, they use webcams and...

    Argentina As Seen By Foreigners

    It's definitely cheaper and possibly more environmentally friendly.

    Another Airline Assault

    In my experience of flying UK/Arg to and fro over the last ten years or so, I've found the Aerolineas Argentinas staff to be the most 'simpatico' for want of a better description. On one occasion, flying Aerolineas to Barcelona I had a panic attack, which is not something that happens to me very...

    I Passed My Motorcycle Test Today

    The first thing I did was to go online at http://www.turmis.info/vicentelopez/solicitar_turno, book an available time (turno) and was then reminded that the process cannot go ahead if I have any outstanding tickets for motoring offences. I was then directed to two different sites and to my...
