    Not sure if they'll sell you the flour. I know they sell the dough. http://tortillapanchovilla.com.ar/productos/productos.htm http://www.elportaldemexico.com/servicios/catering/itacate.html

    Yes, we have no bananas...and other former imports too

    I haven't been able to find Bimbo's rapiditas at my usual Disco. They're made in Uruguay and I'm worried I won't be able to make Quesadillas anymore. Also Corona's seem to be lacking.

    Need a Non-Argentine Spanish Teacher (native speaker)

    Oh yeah, my bad. It changes a lot anyway: di - decí. Pon - poné. Still it's not the most common Spanish (given the amount of population in argentina + Uruguay VS the rest of the Spanish speaking world).

    Need a Non-Argentine Spanish Teacher (native speaker)

    I'm not saying it's hard... it's just that if someone learns Argentine spanish, it'd be weird when he went to other countries. Just that. And there are some that change more: Imperative Verb - TU form - VOS form Decir - dile - decile Poner - pon - ponele

    Need a Non-Argentine Spanish Teacher (native speaker)

    Yes, that's for tener, but there are other verbs that change a lot. Also, in central América voseo is only the substitution of tu. They say: vos eres instead of vos sos. And no, I've never heard anyone from Chiapas use vos (I have heard it from someone from Guatemala).

    Need a Non-Argentine Spanish Teacher (native speaker)

    It's not only an accent issue. Also they conjugate really strangely: (mostly for imperative) sentate instead of siéntate, llamá instead of llama, decíle instead of dile, ponele instead of pon, podés instead of puedes, sentí instead of sientes. It's really the furthest form from standard...

    What exactly is El Dia de la Mujer?

    Día de la mujer is an international holiday. We had it in Mexico to and it was called "día internacional de la mujer". I know so cause it ruins my birthday every year. All my (girl) friends demand my "congratulations" back. I'm a man.

    Will the Oscars be broadcast with SAP?

    They aired the Grammys on TNT with SAP available... I think there wouldn't be a problem with the Oscars. I always watch them on TNT.

    how people live?

    Forgot to add... whenever I DO buy something (clothing especially) it doesn't last long. So it's pricey and shitty.

    how people live?

    I had to stop buying stuff, I just stick to food and the occasional fun night out (that used to happen every Friday + Saturday back home, now it's every two to three weeks).

    What the hell is a "North American"?

    I know that, but sometimes they divide America into North America and Latin America (which is wrong cause one is a geographical division and the other one is a cultural one).

    What the hell is a "North American"?

    What I meant is, that we like to be identified as Americans, meaning we were born in the continent.... Of course we don't use the term to define our nationality, so if you ask for nationality of course you'll get "Argentine" as an answer. American is what defines which continent we come from...

    What the hell is a "North American"?

    It is just a completely different cultural mindset, while in the US they teach them there are 6 continents, in latin america they teach us that there are only 5. I am Mexican and I grew up there, and we only learned Europa, Asia, Oceanía (the Australia continent), África and América. They always...

    Banks. Has anyone else heard this?

    My bank just told me that I needed to take them my DNI within 30 days or they'd close the account. But it's weird... I came here with a company and another friend did, he chose BBVA and I chose Río... he asked in BBVA and they said he didn't need anything so I don't know if it depends on the bank.
