    United STATES OF SHAME

    Oh my god, you are a real piece of work. You have zero capacity to lay out a balanced argument and only care about your socialist or anarchist or whatever view it is you have. I don't really care. You are a complete waste of everyone's time on this forum. Your only agenda is to trash the US...

    United STATES OF SHAME

    It's actually QUITE simple actually. The USA is a GREAT country because it is a collaboration of people from the whole world. There is absolutely no other country that can claim the kind of diversity that is found in the US. Sometimes how we don't kill ourselves is beyond me. But we have pulled...

    United STATES OF SHAME

    You may know "something" about the US, but you do NOT know the US. No chance. No way. You are so blinded by your pseudo intellectualism that you could never see the US for what it truly is. I have lived all over the US and I do not know one single person who thinks Americans, our country, or our...

    Hate North Americans?

    Ok, well then maybe there is hope for you after all. One of the most ridiculous piece of crap conspiracy theories I have ever heard in my entire life. i.e. US was going to invade Argentina for the express purpose of taking the water here. When I heard this I could not stop laughing for an...

    screens for windows

    Our house has screens in most of the windows. Of course they all needed repair but yes it has them. Funny... my father in law is totally obsessed with killing mosquitos in his house. He has screens in his windows AND has a big freakin air conditioner in the kitchen/dining/living room. But he...

    Hate North Americans?

    Oh orwellian, let me guess... you must also believe that the US is going to at some point invade Argentina to steal the water here? Right?

    Teaching Tennis in English

    Oh and btw, sometimes you may have to let your racket do the talking for you. Try to find an "in" through hitting with someone that works at the clubs you are interested in. Just get plugged into the tennis community, pick up matches or hitting sessions with as many people you can. If you are a...

    Teaching Tennis in English

    AnnaP, What types of teaching certifications do you have? USPTA or USPTR? Not sure how it works down here, but years ago I would travel to Venezuela for 2 months during the winter and teach there. My spanish was horrible but my resume was good. I taught many fairly well to do families there...

    Help with floors!

    Yes, we're really disappointed in our landlord. Nice lady and all that but dang. It took her 2 months to finally get some guy to come by and "fix" some things that were broken etc. Of course the guy was pretty much a bozo and things were not quite fixed properly. This is a nice old house but...

    Mosquito Madness

    We actually found a product that we are testing and so far so good. It's called Mosqui No and it's basically sold for babies. I was not excited about all the chemicals in Off and the plugins etc given my wife was pregnant and now that we have a new little one here in the house. Anyway...

    Acidophilus?

    Thank you everyone! I have printed off the info re: TotalFlora sounds like that is the ticket or at least I have something in spanish to show folks in the pharmacy. In addition someone else told me about Sancor Bio which is supposed to have more in it than Actimel and available in grocery...

    Strange Things You (Would) Pack in Your Suitcase to move to BA!

    How about Tupperware? Do they sell that here? Otherwise bring some because the plastic containers I have found so far suck as well. But Miles could be right... might be because I have not found the right places to buy stuff yet.

    The quality of haircuts

    My wife and her family love Cerini's in Belgrano but of course they may fall short of the expectations here as I don't see many short styles walking out of their salon. I have seen Cerini's in the Dot as well. And btw, genetics has something to do with long hair looking good as well on people...

    Strange Things You (Would) Pack in Your Suitcase to move to BA!

    My wife and I are making a list for the next time I go home to visit. One of the weird things is a nice rug to wipe our feet for front and back door that you can wash and it doesn't fall apart all over the place. Stuff like that is very poor quality here. Anything, and everything spicy I can...

    Los Angeles has 10 times as many homeless as Buenos Aires

    Exactly. I was watching TV the other night and they reported I think it was a 9.5% unemployment rate here. I turned and looked at my wife and said "that's a bunch of s***" right in front of my inlaws. Ooops. I mean dang, it is probably closer to 3 times that here. As if the unemployment rate...

    The quality of haircuts

    Interesting... my absolute favorite part of Argentina? Almost all the women, including my wife, have long beautiful hair. Not the ridiculous short haircuts or funky angled cuts, etc, etc that so many women have in the US. I'd like to know who convinced our women in the US that short hair and...

    It stinks!

    I can not find the thread where we were talking about this so... Ok, I don’t know exactly what it’s called but we have an area outside of the house we are renting that has some type of septic or sewer connection and man o man does it smell bad. Especially when it rains. I’m pretty sure this is...

    Help with floors!

    New baby is on the way so we are in desperate need of help with floors in the house we are renting. We have 2 wood floors that really need work. One is completely shot, and either needs to be replaced or somehow covered, maybe piso flotante(?). The other isn't in too bad shape but needs to be...
