    Argentine Movie Recommendations

    Not anymore. El secreto de sus ojos 2009 won. Very good movie. Another Darin movie (I do love him!!) is Un Cuento Chino. Anyone seen it yet? I have it at home but haven't watched it yet. No one mentioned Apartment Zero. (Probably because it's not very good). But it's interesting as it stars...

    Anyone else heard of US$1000 hairdresser service here?

    Sorry but US$1000 is wayyyyy too much. She either got screwed or she meant AR$1000.

    Anyone make their own yogurt??

    I've made regular yogurt with just using a pot of bought yogurt with live cultures in it. It isn't very tangy and doesn't need any stabilizers or thickeners. The first day it's a bit runny. But the next it's nice & thick.

    Why is bread so expensive?

    I don't believe you! Please send proof!! ;) Anyway, bread is just empty carbs. Don't eat it! If you have to, this is the bread I make sometimes. Set it up Friday night & bake it Saturday for brunch: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/08/dining/081mrex.html Oh, and you can make your own...

    Where to buy fairy lights...

    I'm not sure you can put regular Xmas lights outside. You might want to try Easy. If not, I have some white xmas lights I can sell as we won't be taking them when we leave. Good luck.

    rules about marriage?

    You have to go there and have the letter done. They certainly have experience with this. You're not the first to require it. ;) Congratulations y suerte!

    Spectacular Hi-Tec PH For 1YR Rent in Palermo Soho

    I agree with you. Tourist make a budget then see what they can get with in that budget. That's how I see it.

    Racism in BA, am I alone?

    I agree that there can be quite a lot of racism especially against the indigenous people. However, this above is not racism and has nothing to do with not wanting to take the elevator with you in particular. This is a privacy issue or a custom. It happens all every day in my building. They let...

    Spectacular Hi-Tec PH For 1YR Rent in Palermo Soho

    Maybe. I don't know if you can find a comparable house for less than $9K. I'm not in the market so don't know what is in that price range. What I'm saying is that if you are in the market for the Duhau Palace, Four Seasons, etc. then spending US$300 a night is not unheard of. It is for me. But I...

    Spectacular Hi-Tec PH For 1YR Rent in Palermo Soho

    At first I was thinking US$9000 WTF??? But actually, if you think about it, a 20m2 room at the Alvear, Duhau, 4 Seasons, Hilton, etc can easily cost US$300 (or more!) a night. So, if you are 4 people you'd need two rooms, 6 would need 3 rooms. Frankly, if I were visiting for a month with some...

    How many of you want to leave Bs As?

    I completely agree with you on the above. I don't think the people as bad as some say and I love what you love that you can have some pretty substantial conversations with people of all types. The best conversations I have are with the guy who delivers my oxygen tanks. He's talks high level...
