I don't know if it matters, but if you can arrive before 8 in the morning they don't really pay attention as they scan your bag in customs. I recently came back from Europe with suitcases full off stuff. Really it was an asortment of stuff but most of is was plates and other ceramics that I...

You don't know what a blueberry is until you have tried the norther European variety. Depending on if you pick it from the shade or the sun it's either a sweet or acid explosion in you mouth. Granted, I'm biased... After some investigation I see that this wouldn't be called blueberry in English...

At first I didn't get Fred's comment, until I went and looked at the title. I have no idea how that happened... All I can say is that I'm typing on a tablet and maybe autocorrect in a different language is involved. Maybe I'll go for a flag "stick" on the side of my house, as is also quite...

Hi, In Sweden many older houses have flagpoles, a remnant from when the government was trying to build the national story and encouraged it. I have been thinking about having a flagpole raised at my house, but since you don't see it here in Argentina I am hesitant. Is it even legal? Does...

Oh, is that what it is? But, why?

Since it's held in Sweden, why not watch it on Swedish TV. http://www.svtplay.se/video/8313134/eurovision-song-contest-2016/eurovision-song-contest-2016-semifinal-1-svt

The winners from 2006 was hard rock schlager band from Finland. http://youtu.be/gAh9NRGNhUU

Yes,we are looking into all kinds of solutions. Including buying a second car. Having a 17 year old defender as the only car might not be such a good idea. Luckily we enjoy walking...

Our darling Defender 'Ernst' needs a new turbo and we are looking at having one sent from the UK or bring it back with us in the luggage when we go visit Sweden. We will also look into going to Osorno to have it replaced, but it's a long trip when you can't drive more than 50 km per hour. My...

Thanks, I also have a flight scheduled tomorrow... I haven't had any information though. I'm brining "Crime and Punishment" to keep me occupied.

June is tricky in Villa la Angostura. There may not be enough snow for skiing, but too much for the longer hikes. Too cold for kayaking comfortably. Then again it could be lovely.

My neighbor is a social assistant. Granted in the "wrong" province but if you want to be put in touch with her let me know. She should be able to tell what's what when it comes to that side at least. I don't know any family law lawyers.

That's my dear father in law.

I'm going to keep promoting Villa la Angostura. Basically like San Martin de los Andes, but smaller. I like it small, so it suits us. Some people may get cabin fever here, that depends on what sort of a budget one is on.

A group of four people robbed my mother in law here in Villa about a month ago. They didn't have a gun, but it doesn't really matter they were threatening her with violence anyway. She rents out rooms to tourists and they told her that they had been "told" she had a lot of money in the house...

Buying a car here is more expensive. Although I don't know how much... The far end of Bariloche is greener and less windy. The Llao Llao side. If you aren't going to have a car I would choose San Martin de los Andes and find a house in the centre. The centre is a tidy grid, with lots of...

Hi Matthew's wife :-), I'm sorry for the late response, I was waiting for a good time to sit down and respond properly. That moment didn't come until now. I feel very safe here, crime has gone up a bit the last couple of years but we haven't seen any of it. A few weeks ago they arrested two...

I did my papers in Buenos Aires as we were living there at the time, with little Spanish and no help. But, with lots at patience and making a point of not going until I understood what to do I figured it out. I still don't know how! If you have the possibility of doing it here in Bariloche do...

The local online paper claimed that Michele wanted to spend the long weekend here in Villa la Angostura with Macri and family. We have had an influx of Americans the last two weeks and they probably decided that it wasn't safe enough. Vast forrests, open lakes and plenty of tourists isn't the...

Hi LeahLeah1, I'm sorry to say that I don't have any leads for you, the best of luck though. I just had to write because the way you framed you information reminded me so much of my time at QUT studying primary education. When you have residency get in touch with the private schools as well...
