Love this!

Well, thanks to this thread, my phone is now working again. I took the advice here, opened an account at the Movistar page and explained my problem. Today, the annoying ringtone that I NEVER signed up for is gone and I magically have credit again. I didn't think this was possible since I use a...

I have this same problem now for about 2 months with Movistar. I had a triple-day and had about 120 pesos. I barely make calls and never text (my phone has some glitch that keeps me unable to do so) and in 3 days my credit was gone. Then I had (and still have) some horrible ringtone now that I...

I believe Hotel Mansion San Telmo does.

We were long distance for about 4 years (looong years), until I moved here with my son in 2010. She's going to medical school and that's why we made the move...but when she's finished, we're going back to the US. I'm very glad we made the move-haven't regretted it once.

I have heard of Magic Donut, but I admit I have never been there. I recommend La Churreria, Juramento 1589----right off of Libertador! Very yummy and almost like home! :wub:

Raised on an apple orchard in Washington State. Moved here almost three years ago to be with my Argentine partner while she finishes medical school. Then, we all go back to the US...though I will miss it here.

Exactly. We reopen the second week of June. There just isn't anyone on Alvear these days...perhaps on Cabildo we'll actually have more than one person enter the store every four hours! ;) The owner cried all morning as we packed, though actually the move will be a good thing.

Not sure if anyone will be interested in this, but our shop closed officially yesterday. Today we packed and tomorrow everything is getting moved our new location just off of Cabildo. I wonder who's next?

Just an update on an old thread...we got our girl on March 5. She had a trip to the vet at Tandil who found nothing wrong with her. She was a bit roughed up from being on the streets (cuts, a bit of a cough), though that was expected. They also said that she was approx one year old. The life...

'Falkland Islanders and Argentines agree: Unlicensed fleet is scooping up too much squid' http://news.yahoo.com/outlaw-fleet-scoops-squid-argentine-174005514.html

I used to wonder how my son's Argentine Spanish would fair when we're back home. I blogged about it ages ago, and one of my readers said that her mom (I believe she is Chilean? Colombian? I'm sorry, but I don't remember) spoke differently than Mexicans but had zero problems. HOWEVER, people here...

For your US friend, there is a man across the street from the US Embassy that takes passport photos. They are either 80 pesos or 10 dollars.

If I'm not mistaken, they will need a photocopy of your id and the id of the person picking up the package. We did this once or twice, and if memory serves, this is all we needed.

Major update! After a frustrating Monday and part of Tuesday, my partner asked another med student if she knew anyone who could help us out. Before this, every method didn't turn out (train didn't go to Tandil, the bus was a no-go, too expensive because it's a fancy pet transport service, people...

I always see Heinz ketchup at Carrefour (the one nearest me is right off of Libertador and Laprida here in V. Lopez, near Parque de los Ninos). Hey, Rich One, did you try your gravy yet? I don't know much about adding potato puree to gravy, so hopefully you listened to Aleina Dee and it turned...

I just fried meatballs and made gravy for them last night. I am a gravy klutz, but here's what I do...it's fast and easy: Take 2 of those Knorr cubes and boil them in about 400 ccs of water (I've used both chicken and veggie in the past. Honestly, I don't notice too much of a taste difference)...

We've been working with another member here via PM to find a company that moves pets and he found one for $1200. We have two other contacts here in Vicente Lopez we're going to call today, but I imagine the $1200 will be the one we go with. (As a side note, when I was really upset in Tandil...

She definitely is. I can drive, though I only have my US license...the problem is that I am completely petrified to drive here. On the rural roads, totally fine...anywhere near CF, forget it.
