    The Suburban Players (Eng Language) Present 'cafe Noir'

    As one of the principal actors cast in this latest community theatre offering (being staged in San Isidro) I am posting this notice for all who are interested: "The Suburban Players is the longest running English-speaking amateur theatrical club in Argentina, having been around since April...

    Something Old To Further Comment Upon, Now . . . ? ? ?

    Well... as the 'OP' here... I find myself amazingly grateful (grateful for the info; amazed that I could sift through this and find it) for the series of mini-discussions which have ensued! I'm sure I don't have enough information, even yet, regarding colonial versus Peronist constitutional...

    Something Old To Further Comment Upon, Now . . . ? ? ?

    Oh, dear... Well, I certainly realized before now that I'd provoke some interesting comments, here. What I had been *hoping* to actually learn, though, is more about whether or not ANY of what La Campora (which I am very much aware of - and, in fact, my reference in the original post to my...

    Something Old To Further Comment Upon, Now . . . ? ? ?

    Frankly, that's a quite reasonable response - to my mind, Joeschmoe. My only consideration otherwise, however, is that with a wide distribution of such written material, people can say things that aren't true (or which are true) and how is a populace to know which it is? In my own country, up...

    Something Old To Further Comment Upon, Now . . . ? ? ?

    Hi, folks! I don’t post often (but I’m reading most of the things others post here, fairly regularly). However, *THIS* (hopefully att’d – in 3 photographs that I took of a four-pager... apologies for visual clarity, or lack thereof) caught my attention very, very early this morning when I just...

    Coffee Chat Zona Norte Tuesday Feb 23, 4-7Pm (Martinez)

    I hope / plan to attend this one, once again. I probably won't make it a habit to attend bi-weekly, but will try for monthly. BTW: Folks MAY find it slightly easier to locate with the street name spelled ALBARELLOS, instead. Cheers, Paul

    Coffee Chat Zona Norte Tuesday Jan 26, 4-7Pm (San Isidro)

    Hi, all ! I'm really planning to attend this. I've been in BA for 15.5 months, now - initially in ZN, and shortly, hopefully, once again (as things are expected to go, anyway) but not currently. Still, that # 338 bus just happens to run only 1 block from my home, so it's easy for me to reach...

    Happy Canada Day !

    (tomorrow) I, of course, am hopeful that my so-called 'adopted country' remains: 'The true north, strong and free' At 148, it's still a relatively young land, as presently constituted (especially as it's only realized it's current 13 jurisdictions within recent years). As I reflect on (one...

    Here's Something: Table Service Charge

    THANK YOU - EVERYBODY ! My main point is not whether it's affordable (and, actually, it is... for me) but simply the fact that it had never been charged there, before (I'd been there before 12h00, the day before, as well as @ 12h30 as well as between 14h30 & 16h30... I usually go shortly after...

    Here's Something: Table Service Charge

    Having been in the general BA area, now, my 3rd time over a period of about a decade, and staying here for 7+ weeks to this point, I cannot say that I'm either that new or that I'm truly experienced here, yet... However, I ran across this for the very first time, this past week, and I wonder...

    Looming Gov't Crackdown On Unofficial $$ Exchange?

    While I came here, on this trip, from Vancouver - and am (also) Canadian... living exactly half of my life, so far, in that country - I was born in NYC but was raised in an area between Walnut Creek and Lafayette, which was known as Saranap (the family homestead was in our name 1963-2002) - just...

    Hello, I've Only Posted In The Newcomer Forum Before

    I *think* 'Rich One' probably nailed it! All the elements in his reply ring true for me, and it explains what my challenged math-head suspected was a true discrepancy but which I could not prove or understand. Now, I think I really do! The equation, however, needs be left for somebody having a...

    Hello, I've Only Posted In The Newcomer Forum Before

    I guess my somewhat wordy OP gets my real math question lost within... The value of UY-ARS pesos-to-pesos rate may be useful information for many, here, but my own question is actually about the US dollar rate in each country and why THAT is so disparate if the peso-to-peso rate seems so...

    Hello, I've Only Posted In The Newcomer Forum Before

    Thank you, BaltRochGirl - and particularly: "You should always bring your reciprocity payment receipt with you, it is legally required at all entry points, I have traveled to Uruguay and had to show it, better to be safe. The mercosur form you were given is not necessary for any future trips"...

    Hello, I've Only Posted In The Newcomer Forum Before

    So, it's back to my very rough and poor mental math skills in making comparisons between the ARS peso and the UY peso relative to the US dollar... I'm VERY open to a simple explanation, even an equation - just not a quadratic one, please. THX !

    Hello, I've Only Posted In The Newcomer Forum Before

    Interesting. I didn't exchange any money, and I got no quotes: I simply noted two of the ubiquitous signs in the windows of such places and made a mental note of it. However, if the quote you indicate works at all well with my skill in simple arithmetic, then it would still account for only...

    Hello, I've Only Posted In The Newcomer Forum Before

    I’m quite willing to reveal my naivete in exchange for some collective knowledge and wisdom, here. It’s quite possible that my list of items / questions is more than any one person or even all who do will choose to tackle, and it’s also possible that I may simply confirm my own suspicions of how...

    Hello, Hello, Hello

    I am SOOOO sorry for taking so long to return to this: Until 10 hours ago, now, I had no homestay internet service, here... but that has now been connected. I was using an internet cafe, each day, so now... I can do this! Thanks to all. 'Fred' provides VERY helpful information, here. Many...

    Hello, Hello, Hello

    MANY thanks for these very confirming and encouraging replies! I have an account that waives foreign ATM fees, but of course, any local bank ATM fee - applied here - is not waived, so I understand that charge still applies. I also am familiar with the 'rush' effect on banks and, indeed, am...
