If you're going to want a WD that works for years and years, you might consider the more expensive but far far more reliable, Ariston brand.

I've been in touch with those of you who have passed me your emails. If there are more of you interested, please let me know at [email protected] The book we'll be discussing is Los Informantes by the Colombian author Juan Gabriel Vasquez. cheers, Mike

I'll let the bookclubmembers know.

You don't need to go to a bank to change pesos into dollars. Plenty of reliable cambistas around the city and not just downtown.

There are about 11 of us interested in joining the book club. So thanks and I will begin communicating with all of you as a group by email to select books, times, places. If you don't hear from me shortly, let me know by email to [email protected] or 156197-1446 or here. But first order...

what no bife de chorizo? Sounds great count me in

Update on Energiarecargable.Com. This is a typical Buenos Aires story so I thought I'd pass it on. I went to the store, but it's now called ProBattery not Energiarecargable, no hint from the really well done website. BUT in addition to the the 99 peso fee for the new battery, they charge a...

Rats!!!! now David is offering a BBQ as well, so we're likely to get 8232.3 people showing up. :) Really David, terrific offer, and Betts speaks warmly of you. So thanks. I'll get back to you in the week about this when I've got a list to work from. Mike

Hey, I'm confused, although that's not unusual. From Balenco ATMs I have been withdrawing up 300 pesos, 3 times during one day which is what I understood was the limit way back when. that still works since I did it yesterday and that way I get 900 pesos. I'm afraid to try another larger...

SynGirl is correct. I've done it and it's not difficult. But I paid 50 pesos. Is it really 300 pesos now?

If it were true, which I doubt, or if you were worried about logging into any rogue website which would then infect your computer, why not use a sandboxed browser which protects completely from such things. Try Sandboxie for example. Mike

well, well we're really moving the health care discussion forward. Glad to see we expats travel abroad with our well considered, thoughtful opinions intact. Mike

There are now four of us, I'll wait to Monday to see if there are more. I'll wait till Monday to see if there are any more. Regarding the issues you raised. 1. Location, thanks KatharineAnn for the offer of your home, our teacher has offered hers as well, as I mine. However she lives in...

You have to pry open the back of the thing. I understand that it's not difficult to do with a paperclip but maybe the first time take it to the store and ask them to show you.

I have the 3 mega Fibertel service and it is adequate but not really very good probably because of the number of users sharing the service. Fibertel offers a 5 mega service for somewhat more money and it might be better for commericial needs although it may be too expensive for home use. I've...

Hi everyone, I would like test your interest in a book club here in Buenos Aires, to read books in Spanish to both improve our Spanish--both conversational and formal, our Hispanic culture and enjoy ourselves at the same time. I have an excelent teacher who could guide us, a suggested first...

thanks syngirl, that was helpful. I keep forgetting about mercado libre, I traced a reference from Mercado Libre to a place called Energiarecargable, on Mansilla 3429 in case anyone else is interested. price for new battery is ARG 99. sounds good. Any alternatives still welcome.

Hi everyone, aside from the Apple store does anyone know where one can get a replacement battery for the iphone. The Apple store quoted me over a USD 100 last time I checked. thanks Mike

It seems that if you log on Lan's Argentine web site and do everything in Spanish, you'll get the Argentine prices even if you don't have a DNI. At least on international flights--here to Chile let's say. At least that's the way it was a couple of months ago.

I've tried several places but find Ouro Preto to be slightly better, about ARS 20 per 1/4 kilo of their expensive brand. Located on Corrientes, corner of Montevideo, I think. Left hand side when driving along Correntes. Mike
