    Considering the above post, it's a good thing the writer doesn't vote.

    Donats in Buenos Aires

    Donats is the local name, like sanguches is for sandwiches. Argentines are phonetically-oriented, and write words the way they sound. Makes a lot of sense, now I think about it.

    Casas tomadas recovered in the city

    About vacant buildings.... Many are "in sucesion" - the owner has died and the inheritors don't have title to the property. So, persecute the legal system, which takes decades to settle a succession. My grandmother's estate was simple - no problems among heirs - and it still took fourteen...

    Casas tomadas recovered in the city

    I vaguely remember hearing "Napoleon's Code" mentioned in High School, but don't know anything about it. What makes a law napoleonic? I have heard the term but don't know what it means.

    What do American expats miss the most about living in America?

    If by "nature -nature" you mean unrestricted access to wilderness hiking trails, consider relocating to El Chalten (population 1,881). Plenty of day hikes in the area, and unspoiled nature all the way to Chile.

    What do American expats miss the most about living in America?

    You are quite right...! It is nature in its farthest sections, although mostly a waterfront neighborhood in those near Tigre. Funny, but I never thought of the Delta as nature --- just a great place to go rowing. Thanks for making me see it with new eyes.

    Moving to San Rafael, Mendoza. Questions about wiring dollars

    To buy an apartment in 2016 I had to open an account in dollars in an Argentine bank with the SAME IDENTICAL TITLE as the foreign bank account sending the money. They were called mirror accounts, cuentas espejo. But local banking regulations are as changing as the winds and the weather...

    Disappointed with Food in Argentina

    I get only free range chicken now - it is quite good. Same for eggs, easily available in Buenos Aires. Quite different from chicken sold in the US - they are fed fish pellets and taste of fish.

    Disappointed with Food in Argentina

    Food choices are VERY limited, but the food itself is not terrible. Fresh pasta dishes are great, and steak, chorizos, milanesas and fried potatoes are also very good. But that's about it. Ethnic restaurants are dismal when compared with those in the Washington, DC. area. Haven't been...
