Go for it Germano..No new car, at whatever price can be as full of character and personality as a classic, My last classic I left in the US and had to practically give it away as everyone admired it but wouldn't pay the money for such beauty..a 1961 cream Volvo P1800. All dashboard instruments...

Reminds me of an 80yr old English widow I met in the London Argentine embassy some years ago. She was terribly posh and talked so passionately about her long life in the Argentine with her beloved dead husband. So let's go full hog and forget calling it Argentina and start calling it the...

School had almost ruined him for me with Death of a Naturalist but a good friend who met him would send me excerpts and background on his inspiration which made me appreciate the great man. Last night I plucked some mint from the garden for evening mojitos with friends and this quote came to...

Nope but don't worry as the queues are manageable and processed fast. My advice is not to attempt to go in car as the trapistas demand 20 pesos for parking otherwise I think the zoo is a marvellous day out. I was devastated to hear they had sold the land and were planning to move it out of...

But Pitipur you're learning the first lesson of Bsas...they deliver everything..from meds to ice-cream..even McDonalds.....start joining the envio a domicilio queues and enjoy this most wonderful part of Bsas life!!!!

Manners, honesty and decency alive and well in the world in 2013 PhilipDT. If everyone had your honed communication skills the world would be a better place.

Warm fire, local music and characters like Bono's brother who lives in Delgany village..and is as big a prick as his big famous brother but less well dressed!

Lamarque I wish you happy days settling into my homeland. The weather and traffic were just 2 of the reasons that drove me from it permanently so it's best to always presume the weather will be terrible and then comes beautiful Autumn in Co. Wicklow and the clear blue skies against the many...

Sent you a PM...

I'm living in Jerez de la Frontera , a small town of 250k people in Andalusia - home of dancing horses and sherry bodegas with good beach and countryside access. Our regular visitors to this province love Puero de Santa Maria for the sherry vibe and renowned beaches, Cadiz for culture, city and...

You'd think so Camberiu but after the house sale (for us 9 yrs) and the successful apparition of said monies in our foreign account by unknown cueva and having NOT been mugged carting part of said sale in bra, underwear, brief cases of friends and lawyers etc....our overwhelming feeling was of...

Couldn't agree more Ries. What makes anyone an expert on what is or isn't the right price as it may all boil down to sellers need to sell forgetting about external factors like market bouyancy etc. We just bought a property in Spain last week. The same estate agent has a property which is 60%...

Las Viudas de los jueves..very pop book some years ago but very on topic for Bsas middle class living and cheating and in movie form. If you want to get in touch with your female side this is one to go for.

Arlean, Don't let others use their life agenda to change yours. I've met people like the friends you describe, baexpats inc,, who have their own ego issues to address....let it flow off you. You've come to Bsas to enjoy and contribute to the country so don't let the small people get you down...

Listen Azagarth, this site makes US immigration folks look like pussy cats. If you survive this grilling you're home free actually being here. You're a determined, idealistic and driven young man. Go follow your heart and your head. Suck up the mistakes you make along the way blaming no one...

I was teasing a little Ries...I've been called many things in my life but I may consider adding bottom feeder to the list to embellish my story a little. I'm a career expat who believes in giving as much, if not more back to the country of residence so my book of credits and liabilities is...

As a 2003/4 arrival to set up a company and pay taxes as a whiter than white company (now more greyishhh) let me take umbrage at the term bottom feeder - also associated with leech etc? Seizing a financial opportunity isn't always the same thing as being cheap especially if it means providing...

To quite la belle Jeanne in my language .I am not afraid. I was born to this...shopping of course I mean!

Don'tMindme gets a resounding support from me for a fairly argued defense...labelling her angry, wound up or insecure is just rehashing feeble labels to deflect a truth that may or may not have hit home. The issue here is why use derogatory terms to discuss women of any nation (cumdumpster?)...
