    How many of you want to leave Bs As?

    I don't hate it here. I just don't love it here either. We came with a plan to stay 2-3 years and in the end it will probably be 3 1/2 before we go. The thing that bothers me the most strangely enough is that I really feel so very far from everything and everyone that I do love. So, we are...

    Moving company recommendations?

    Did you tell that to Lift Van? I wouldn't be surprised if they drop the price as they are used to working with international companies who don't care so much to bargain hunt. So, they are probably working with a margin that allows them to negotiate with individuals. It can't hurt to try. It's...

    Roast: What cut of beef?

    I think he means the cut that is labeled "roast beef" is low end, & it is! Don't get that cut. I'm tempted to do a roast beef now... with roast veggies... me hungry. :)

    What to expect with inflation? Apartment rental prices.

    All that adds up! When you are looking at prices for two year rentals, none of those things are listed nor is the cost of buying furniture & a fridge! I'm not sure tourists are really get that screwed. Sure, you pay a premium, but don't underestimate the total costs of a two year rental.

    I think at this point Lisbon is less expensive. I can't see the prices for each thing listed so I can't compare. Send me the list with prices for Lisbon, I'll do the list for you for BA.

    Completely Incomprehensible - Buying in bulk.

    My very first week I arrived I noticed this. I was looking at the prices and I turned to my husband and asked if I was reading the labels correctly . An Argentine lady next to me turned and looked at me and said "Welcome to Argentina" with a smile. Then we chatted for a little bit. Never go to...
