Lest we forget, it was Operation Condor & Mr Henry. K. (you know the guy who was awarded the Nobel Peace prize) who (facts are friendly) encouraged & supported this whole ugly period in South America. Videla will have no peace in hell.

A very interesting article on Prostitution & Sex Tourism in Cuba by Charles Trumbull. Suggested reading to all but particularly to those who feel the Cuban people "aren´t so traumatized by prostitution". http://www.estig.ipb...o/trumbull2.pdf

I love history, so with plans to visit Cuba someday, and to gain a historical perspective of Cuba's Revolution, I found reading "Fidel Speaks", a collection of speeches given by Fidel to the Cuban people from 1959 until 1968 very helpful. His speeches make clear why he is revered as " a teacher"...

Has anyone noticed that here "acquantances" will ask you for favors that normally you would only do for your best friends? Yes, I have noticed and quite frankly, am exhausted from it. Had a Brit married to Argentine, who came pleading with tears in his eyes, saying he needed money to put his...

They are people who have done our son favors, (collecting mail while he is traveling) but not close friends. Thanks to you for your advise. Think it better to advise him to error on the side of caution to keep life uncomplicated.

Friends want to move into a furnished house our son owns ( he is traveling now) while their home is under renovation. No money exchanged. Could be for 5-6 months. Seems I heard that there could be problems with this. Any advise appreciated.

Hello, You might want to just get your GED. Perhaps take the SAT locally at the schools you have already mentioned or privately ( I can tell you where) and then start taking some on-line courses with which-ever University that you desire. I believe even Harvard is offering on-line classes. Know...

Hello, I would be interested in buying all your novels, if they are in good condition. PM me please.

Given the recent and on-going dismal news, both here in Buenos Aires and other countries on this planet, I am rather alarmed and dismayed that some of the topics in this thread refer to prostitution as being a motivating factor for tourism to Cuba. One only needs to see what the Sex Trade led to...

Would apprecIate (greatly) any leads on finding this product in Buenos Aires. Also reaching out to anyone coming that may be willing to carry a few of these 8oz bottles here for me. Thanks!

Just wanted to share an article about Monsanto and what they have accomplished here in Argentina. Be forewarned that I found this article deeply disturbing. After all we are what we eat. Argentina's Bad Seeds ( http://www.aljazeera...3434142322.html )

Will assume you want to teach English. If that is correct, then advertising on this forum & on Craig's List may be a good start. If you are from the UK that would be a plus as most here prefer teachers from there.

Shopped today at the China town market. Bought popcorn and red & black beans. Was unpacking the groceries at home and noticed little black bugs inside the sealed plastic bags. Just a warning to other shoppers to take a close look at what you buy. Now must make the long trek back there to return...

Regarding education: According to a recent data summary of World education ranking published in The Guardian UK, Canada rates third in the world for Reading, Math & Science. The USA is 14th, The UK is 20th and Argentina is 44th just under Indonesia and above Kazakhstan. Our experience with...

Regarding what to bring, I would suggest you do all your clothes shopping in the US. Clothes are very expensive here and the quality leaves much to be desired. I would also buy shoes for your son in the US for the same reason. If you can, I would advise buying the staples of his wardrobe & shoes...

Hello, Need a house cleaner to clean large house. May be just a one time gig of a few days or a regular gig. Must be mindful of high standard of cleaning. Pay is 30 pesos per hour.

Any suggestions on a van service to EZE? Just need a van bigger than a car to take 3 passengers with luggage. THanks1

Thank you for your well intended advise. My intention is to always remain open to new friends while maintaining my old friends, particularly Argentine. In studying the dynamics of crime one factor remains the strongest cause, particularly in times of economic decline. Opportunity. Many studies...

There is an island in the South Pacific that upon visiting, Magellan named The Island of Thieves. At times, (particularly when I'm feeling discouraged from being ripped off) I feel this city could be called The City of Thieves. After 4 years of living here, generally speaking, it seems that...

Again, I suggest counselor Andrea Garcia Moral. She uses the Person-Centered, or sometimes called Client-Centered approach developed by psychologist Carl Rogers. Google Person-Centered or Rogerian therapy to get a better understanding. It's a therapy experience that reminds me of having a...
