    buying a laptop in LA California with Spanish keyboard

    Argentine friends are going to LA for a vacation. They want to buy a laptop with a Spanish keyboard. Any suggestions? No, they do not want to buy a laptop with a standard USA qwerty keyboard, and then reconfigure it to Spanish with software. My google search just yields laptops with US...

    Tourist attacked in Palermo

    In 2023 a cheap quartz watch new sells for under $5000 pesos. I would rather have that on my wrist than have a phone in my hand worth hundreds of USD. And grabbing a phone is so easy compared to getting a watch off. I rarely carry a phone unless it is needed. When on the street, all my...

    Tango in C.A.B.A. where to go for authentic dance, not acrobatics

    There seem to be many threads on tango, but elderly family members will be in Bs. As. in October, and they want to see some tango. It would be good to see tango with real bandoleon musicians, indoors, with seating, and top class dancers. I have seen a tango show with lots of wild circus...

    What it looks like when a country doesn’t trust its banks

    I am no expert on international banking matters, but Argentina wants inflows of USD. Should the government of Argentina convert USD private accounts to pesos, that would halt inflows of USD drastically. Some holders of USD accounts have choices... they can flee Argentina. I don't think the...

    Train service from CABA to Mar del Plata

    My search found the last post on this a year ago. Any experience with train service this season, Dec-Feb? Were the trains close to schedule?

    Fiesta Retro tonight in Palermo

    Too hot outside for this old geezer. The dancing is held in the back, the dance "floor" is paving stones set in the dirt. No slide or spin moves on that rock yard.

    I have not worked with this firm, but they are highly recommended. www.agstudio.com.ar and Alejandro speaks pretty good English.

    Horse Racing at Hipodromo de Palermo/Hipodromo de San Isidro

    I have not been to either track since the pandemic. If you go to the website, search Hipodromo de Palermo, the race calendar is shown. Next race dates are 13 Jan and 16 Jan. No luck with San Isidro for me, the old website was suspended and I am not inclined to buy an advance admission

    Obesity epidemic in BA

    Nutrition is a critically important factor on both a global and personal scale. If the paleo diet had peer reviewed studies with thousands of participants over several years to support your claims, I'd like to know about it. A planet with 8 billion inhabitants, with significant numbers...

    Obesity epidemic in BA

    Can you cite evidence? What you suggest as a diet would be quite expensive, and in my case lead to chronic constipation.

    I was lazy and just looked at expedia for flights to Cape Town RSA, but no nonstop flights came up in the search. The quickest flights were Cape Town via Amsterdam or Frankfurt.

    Health Insurance prices in Argentina

    I sought private medical coverage in CABA at the age of 69. I heard age 70 is the upper limit for new enrollees. Hospital Aleman declined coverage due to my age, and also one other group whose name I have since forgotten. This was back in 2019. Hospital Italiano required a blood test, and...
