PhilipDT, yes techinically, but I am on the "nice" side of Constitution just 2 blocks from Monserrat (near Independencia subte) and my husband doesn't let me walk any further than San Juan!

Thanks everyone, I will give the Finlandia a try. No Coto or Disco near me, unfortunately, but next time I'm near one will check for the Philadelphia.

Will try the Finlandia. Unfortunately I live about 15 subte stops from Belgrano so can't get the Philadelphia!

Has anyone found a suitable type of white cheese here which can be used to make a carrot-cake type frosting? We don't have Philadelphia in my hood, not even sure if it's available still. Have tried Casancrem and Mendicrim and both times ended up binning the results. TIA!

We only drink the longlife as the sachet milk has a gamey smell. The milk here is less creamy, you can check the fat percentage and calories and compare it to UK milk to back that up. My hunch is that it gets watered down to save money. And the skimmed and semi-skimmed varieties taste powdery as...

Oh no!! That's terrible. Where's Frenchie, maybe he can track them down for you.

Agreed. Even at the official rate, $52.7 pesos mas o menos, you can eat out.

You can still eat at the local parilla, go to the cinema, a milonga, take a tango class, for less than 10 dollars. What's the problem?? He said 10 dollars not pesos...

Yes, but it should have had the date, amount and beneficiary printed out on the paper, not just the stamp. At least it has the teller's details and they have it all on CCTV too presumably. Strange they didn't put it through the books properly though.

By the way, my mum sends from UK, others from US would have to vouch about stuff arriving ok from there...

I get the stuff delivered to my mum and she kindly send it on to me in plain packaging, not signed for and no more than half a kilo at a time. So far, touch wood and fingers crossed, everything she's sent this year has arrived.

What are the ATM lines currently like at Uruguay? Is it still doable?

We were given this by the vet for our dog after surgery. Don't recall if we needed a prescription, but it definitely wasn't a "double" one.

Doesn't look right. I see some faded writing, looks like their printer ran out of imported ink (!)...I paid some money in at HSBC last week and the printout had the amount, my account details and then a similar stamp as yours. Check it was received by the beneficiary asap.

Not sure what it puts into perspective!

Just read this, the gist is if you have been denied a visa, even if you don't need one (ie for a 3 month tourist visit), you are strongly advised to get one...you may not be allowed to enter UK if you don't have one. Should you apply for a visa if you do not need one? Even if you do not need a...

We did it ourselves, since we had done the previous one ourselves successfully. But I would now definitely recommend professional help, which is now the route we're going...

The financial requirement is "only" 18,600 pounds. My kids have UK passports so they are exempt from the additional income.

I can recommend Will. He's from UK, studied massage in India, and has a degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. http://alpassterapia.com/
