Ceviche I lived in our house in Bsas for 9 years. We took frequent trips abroad including 5 weeks every Christmas with no security issues. The question is: do you want a gorgeous house with a small garden in Buenos Aires e.g La Lucila, Palermo chico, Belgrano R, Villa Crespo, Palermo….this is...

Don't you guys do Potluck dinners in US? Same thing...nothing rude or exacting about it. On your birthday it's the job of the birthday girl/boy to bring cakes to the office. Culturally worlds apart from my upbringing but lovey just the same. My experience is that Argentineans will share their...

No age group has a monopoly on stupid. Anyone of any age deciding on a retirement location based on this or any article without visiting before hand and researching would be dumb. I recall an article about some expats suffering in France and relying on local food parcels because they had bought...

It's actually called a mankini Khairy!

Ceviche It think an issue maybe that there is little respect involved and borderline abuse in many cases so it's not simply a balance transactional agreement as it would be in most places. I personally have and always will treat anyone helping me with household chores as a blessing. No matter...

John just be aware that Jan and Feb are the summer months when the city empties and many restaurants and shops close up for a period as the Portenos go sun themselves. Best of luck in your adventure!

Beautifully said David. Enjoy the re-entry to the home country!

I worked and lived in Utah over a 5 year period and whilst 90% of the people I met and consider friends are lovely there were a scary amount of repressed individuals who seemed to be play acting a life they didn't believe in. So many were inquisitive as to life outside the church as even if they...

Yes Minister...an insightful guide to key embassy and governmental decision making and cultural guide for La Coqueta.sorry I cn't seem to reply to specific posts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGscoaUWW2M&list=PLs7j-0BppWuABuQZeS3eV6IgTGdJhzSSY

Actually Palabilla ...in reponse to And you can't get in with a normal tourist visa? It surprises me a bit that people live here without making a DNI, it just gets rid of all this passport nonsense. Even when we have tried travelling on dnis alone they insist on checking our passports. Maybe...

Khairy in spite of my posting on the other thread re separation I have seen wily women absolutely seek to take every last thread from a guy who walked into love and marriage blindly. I'd like to say that as an independent woman that type of parasitical bitter behaviour appals me and I'm sorry it...

Couldn't agree more Joe. In 19 years it's hard to believe his wife didn't express her needs or desires, goals and dreams. At this advanced stage of m own life(46 last week) I am amazed at how few men communicate well outside a business context. I am not a feminist by any means (I love men!) nor...

IKEA just uses the furniture as a side business. The real IKEA value for the cognoscenti is in the Bilar, pepparkakor, senap sot/stark etc

So many pointed posts noting the effort of birthing a water melon from a walnut sized hole but nothing about the reality of giving birth as being a uniquely celestial moment in human body form. It's like women want to hide the great wonderof giving birth behind the myth of the greatest painful...

David I guess as a European we may have different views on wait staff. I don't need to know the name of my server or for them to tell me how delicious my food smells or how cute I'm looking in a dress of an evening. The food in Plaza Asturias is definitely tired and not reflective of modern...

David an insightful post as always but I am in mourning for the Moncloa. It was an early family favourite. The entire wait staff always greeting us by name even after 1 year abroad. I'm sorry it didn't make it. Thx for sharing the news. Plaza Asturias and El Globo other old favourites in the...

Tere I sent you a private message.

Sorry this happened to you. It must have been v upsetting for the whole family. Sadly this has been always been the expat requirement as I posted some years ago. I got lucky as our first trip was to Uruguay on Buquebus and due to a kind official or my floods of tears we were allowed to travel...

I'll chime in with the above as I moved from Dublin to Bsas in 2002 with a slight diversion via US when the grass was a lot greener - favourable cost of living lower sensation/ reality of crime. My husband arrived first, early 2002 and stayed in a serviced apartment opposite an old Spanish...

I have to say if it was Kate101 it wouldn't surprise me as she looked "batshit crazy" as we say in Ireland. Needless to say I hide behind a photoless profile as real cowards do...
