    New Immigration Decree, Long Life To King Macri!

    Hi Sockhopper I don´t think it´s worthwhile rehashing Brexit on this forum. The arguments for both sides, real or false, are out there for us all to read and take our various stances. Your post simply resonated with me for 2 reasons - the first when you expressed fear for visiting the UK as a...

    Is Buenos Aires Still Cheap With Usd?

    Is Buenos Aires Still Cheap With Usd?

    I´m, also surprised you found Spain expensive but I´m sure I would too if I went to other parts like Madrid, Barcelona, Marbella etc. To me life continues to be surprisingly cheap in this part of Spain - Andalucia - for things like food, rent, clothes, books. A big mac and fries costs €5.80 here...

    New Immigration Decree, Long Life To King Macri!

    Your hysteria is blinding you to reality. Tm clearly stated this week that all EU law has been instated as UK law. No removal of rights. I was in London before christmas with 2 Spanish friends and one from Peru. They adored it...and if anything we spoke more Spanish than English as we...

    Hillary Rodham Clinton Next President Of The United States.

    The move from denial to acceptance seems to be taking longer for some than others... B) . He won, you lost or as some UK politicians have described it today with regards to the same intransigence from the EU: The one thing that we unequivocally understand populism to signify is “something that...

    Buenos Aires: A Tale Of Two Cities

    10 years in Caballito. Not an English speaker in sight and lots of small local friendly businesses with which to build relationships. Just like living in a village in a way. No regrets.Palermo at easy walking distance for better shopping and dining options.

    Treatments To Sanitize And Remove Smell

    God. Some cat people have such low hygiene standards, sorry Serafina. I´m an ex cat lover after developing allergies but even before I couldn´t have had a pooping cat in my home who didn´t respect a litter tray. :o

    Fidel Castro Dead At 90 Years Of Age.

    Yes the peoples of N Korea if given a choice between their ruling dynasty or open media, food, property ownership, freedom to travel etc would of course freely choose their current dictator... B)

    Fidel Castro Dead At 90 Years Of Age.

    Seems to be a trend...I have a couple of K supporter Facebook posts and boy are they engaging in collective weeping...one choice post below for the LOL. Yes some great achievements re healthcare and literary but at what cost? He did some "bad" things (like gunning down feeling families in boats)...

    Clinton - Trump Live Debate Monday Sept. 26 Th.

    Brilliant Camberiu ...so many class one liners, had to watch it twice just to savour them slowly..."It´s almost as if the political acumen of Beyonce and Jayz counts for nothing"... :D :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Thank you for sharing.

    It Would Seem I've Become A 'whinging Pom'....

    Probably...I couldn't even contemplate a move back to the UK but 5 years in Spain and I still love it and find I feel more positive about Argentina since I am back to being a visitor. Like in politics, there is a 3rd way...

    Clinton - Trump Live Debate Monday Sept. 26 Th.

    But in all honesty my dear Noesdeayer do any of us have solutions for these huge issues that face us? Saunders? Oh yes, I forgot he was nobbled by the Clintons with advance knowledge of the debate questions etc...what options can Camberiu or I offer in the face of such corrupt elections...

    Clinton - Trump Live Debate Monday Sept. 26 Th.

    I have to disagree with your sweeping generalisation of Camberiu as a muck raker. Political satire is a welcome piece of light relief in the slurry that funnels out of any political party these days and has long been recognised as an art form - think fantastic cartoonists like Johnny Pugh...

    Clinton - Trump Live Debate Monday Sept. 26 Th.

    Hrc can name them, their bank account number and monies paid to the Clinton Foundation. Ps Trump is an idiot and you are so partisan in every post you seem loathe to tell your a*** from your elbow.

    Seriously Thinking Of Retiring In Ba

    Beautifully said. The people who most criticise Argentina are Argentineans who dream what this great country could be. Many on this board who most extol its virtues live here part-time and opine from a diffferent view than the fulltime expats struggling in a peso salary. I continue to do neither...

    Seriously Thinking Of Retiring In Ba

    Agree with both this and Serafina´s points but find the Bsas situation confusing. By nature Argentines are gregarious and very intertwined with family and friends...yet outside of that are inconsiderate of other´s basic needs to live in a healthy clean community...even if that "other" could be...

    Usa Tourist Boom In Argentina.

    The lack of internal budget flights is always a big shocker for my friends who plan to visit multiple sights and then get spooked by the price and the fact they can´t fly from one major attraction to another without passing through BsAs again in the process. Just hand holding one of them at the...
