    Brutally Beaten in Recoleta

    You should tell the truth. The only known places where such things can happen are whore houses or strip bars. The modus operandi is always the same, they invite you in to have a free drink and watch some poledance and then they try to charge or they can even beat you up for ur wallet. Don't...

    Brutally Beaten in Recoleta

    You are right and the place and time to do that is in the Police Station while you declare what happened, giving details about: skin color, ethnic extraction, t-shirt color, eyes color, hair color,.. But to state "brown" in an open community doesn't strike me as simple describing a fact. I...

    Brutally Beaten in Recoleta

    Associating a general physical characteristic such as skin color cannot be taken as lightly as a mere description, that would be foolish and unwise for anyone who cared to understand the basis of discrimination. By doing so you encourage a generalized fear towards "a kind of people". And you...

    UK Electronic appliances in Argentina techie question

    @cocteauuk Most of technology now days work with both 220v/110v or 50hz/60hz. If you plan to stay for a long period i would cut the power cords and re-wire them into Argentinean type plugs. Something important, here there's no legislation whatsoever that regulates electric protection in order...

    Brutally Beaten in Recoleta

    I'm very sorry you had to go through that, but brown youngsters? How is color relevant? Recoleta, San Telmo, Palermo, Downtown had grown into a petty crime den under police's noses and the primary target are foreigners and distracted people, most of them act like magnets to this kind of...

    Why are Argentines so Angry?

    LOL you nailed it. I came back from El Bolsón a couple weeks ago and I've decided to move there in the forthcoming future. I believe there's no possible real happy lifestyle for a family in bs as. You can only expect to get used to the things mentioned before and feel comfortable enough about...

    Why are Argentines so Angry?

    Outstanding doze of reality and I thank you, but only applicable to Buenos Aires and the porteños. Let me enlight you. Buenos Aires is not Argentina. You have been long time here but you fail in the same way porteños fail to comprehend their surrounding environment, most of them still believe...

    Customs and Ezeiza

    @orwellian If you ever use private couriers like FedEx or DHL you'll always end up paying customs fees (VAT, Import Tariffs, and Couriers exaggerate and lame document handling costs). My recommendation USPS from USA. You should always use standard postal services and stay away from couriers...

    Fascists in Palermo

    I would paraphrase that in: The only way only one company can own all the media (or all any other sector for that matter) is without government intervention. Utopia. Try to win a poker game to someone that has all the chips, in time you will end loosing all. More than 50 years of Friedman's...

    Hate North Americans?

    That is correct. You should also add that different from the US, Argentina can't export its extra pesos, and for example buy some oil. Moreover it is necessary to point out the impeccable work done by IMF emissaries telling every one to keep and accumulate dollars while in the other hand...

    Hate North Americans?

    Rest assured that if Argentina gets some day as close to print green hundreds as the states you will be in a 1st world country. You can add of course the continued running of the most elaborate scams, where white globe lobbists and stock-holders advised by monkey-technocrats gamble all together...
