I'm sorry to be a bitch about this and i am going to say something so as noone takes this personally - this site has been very helpful to me and there have been good numbers of North Americans who have shown me assisted in my integration here. But here is my rant... Everytime a post goes up...

funny thread, really it is... but it is just another thread of those demanding that things be like it is in the US. The woman in Starbucks is right - this is Argentina, and its how its done here... If an American came to my home town in England and critisized how i pour my pint of ale then i...

i sent you a PM...

I thouroughly enjoyed "the Open Veins..." Most accounts of history can be critisized by those with a different viewpoint - so i feel that, as with everything, that both sides of the story are read. One fact for consideration is that Galeano had to come to Buenos aires because of the military...

Take any short walk in Belgrano and you will see huge numbers of buildings going up - especially in the few blocks from the railway line to the diagonal heading towards the River stadium - and the prices are still creeping upwards: Urbanica are a constructor i have bought from and they have a...

we can chat by PM about Joomla...

thanks Attorney - the problem with my webpage is that i have no idea how to work it, which is why it has been lying dormant!! also, joomla is rubbish on the google search scale... my problem is i spend too much time looking for books, selling books and reading books. one day i'll try some...

i married as well - the DNI is actually not important. Once you have applied you will receive a Reseidencia de Precaria, which entitles you to work, travel, the whole lot. i have been waiting to pass this stage for more than a year - all i have to do is renew this piece of paper every three...

citygirl: on thurs the books are going into an apartment where i hope people will be able to browse. i intend to publish the prices on the blog - but at the moment i am researching a better way of presenting the lists in a more managable way. drop me a PM and i'll get my contact details over to...

thanks mini, i have sent you a PM

It wont be a surprise to anyone who has read my name on this site that i work with used books in buenos aires. I buy in ALL languages, especially English - the idea being to have a stock for everybody. I have a good client base and i have no problem selling, especially as my prices are a lot...

i go book hunting in zona norte - there are quite a few german and english families living up there as well as bi-lingual schools etc... i think, like others have said, between vicente lopez and san isidro on the river side of Maipu and Santa Fe is beautiful... I dont know costs, but by looking...

im in agreement with napoleon on the fact that you 'come around', though i hate myself for it... sergio is right on all counts - i was in france and italy recently and it made me realise how much i had got used to here - i found the flavours over there astonishing... my argentine wife on the...

i work with an argentine lady whose son lives in New York. Monthly she deposits a U$S1000 into his account here. But for him to take the money from an ATM in NY costs him U$S10 a hit. She asked me if i knew how she could send money to his account over there (a US account) that does not cost so...

if anyone has booked before the changes then they dont apply ... whilst i agree with one comment that the price is still relatively cheap if you are earning pesos it is a painful extra cost.

correct, in the case of Obama - wikipedia and bigbadwolf have taught me something today: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_Peace_Prize alfred nobel was swedish, though the peace prize is the only nobel prize not be presented in Stolkholm...the article above states why... for those that cant...

i think that you mis-interpreted some comments here - most people were talking about the international 'war/peace' scene and what the Nobel Peace Prize is supposed to represent - not internal politics... Also, not all people on this forum are 'US jerks'. I'm an English bastard, for example...

"IF" she did report you, then it wont flash up on any computer screens - INTERPOL is the one that matters... and it hardly sounds like you commited a crime worthy of that. On top of that governmental and federal organisations of any type (from school to immigration to local police etc etc etc)...

Mercedes Sosa was a big supporter of the 'Bibliotecas Populares' and i saw her being presented with a thanks from the organisation that supports them last year. Many musicians noted her social work by playing, before she sang too... fantastic voice, great work...
