People I know who got the Covid-19 vaccine got Covid or worse. I did not take the vaccine, and I did not get Covid. How about that!

This old house is located at Chile 2468, one block from Av. Independencia, between Alberti and Matheu. It is technically in San Cristobal, and the other side of the street is Balvanera. (I learned that detail from the police.) I rented and then bought the unit on Chile because several...

Considering that the owner for the past 40 years is an architect, the house has been structurally maintained.

I shared your comments with the owner. You make good points that any buyer has to consider. Not everyone is interested in an old house from another era. There are two patios, which are my favorite areas of the house. They are full of plants and trees, and so quiet.

My neighbors are ready to sell the house they bought 40 years ago before moving to Europe where their family lives. I have known the house since 2016 when it was a guest house managed by one of their sons. I have photos and a video tour of the house that I shared with tango tourists. The...

Grammar school in the US in the 50s stressed English. A second language (Spanish, French, German, Latin) was offered in high schools in the 60s. I know many Argentine seniors who speak a high level of English because they learned it in school along with Spanish. The courses that matter --...

I have voted as a naturalized citizen since 2017. The paper ballots on the table are gone and have been replaced by a fancy machine with a touch screen. The process is fast and easy. There's no chance for vote fraud here.

I went to the local police station today and didn't have to wait long for someone to assist me. After making a photocopy of my DNI card and bank account statement, the officer asked a few questions for the report she would prepare on the computer. I sat at the desk for about an hour while she...

I called the 800 phone number for Banco Ciudad. I will receive a new debit card in ten days. Instead of managing the reclamo by calling the 0800 again, I went to the bank this morning to have the bank employee who has helped me with other problems take charge of the reclamo. All I had to...

Now I remember my state of mind when encountering the Facebook scam. The first time I thought, "this is too good to be true." The second time I thought, "today is my birthday, why not?" I buy all my clothing second-hand.

I was thrilled when I found enough cash in my wallet to pay for my organic food order tomorrow. If my order is delivered early, I will be able to get to the bank and see what they can do about the transactions if they were processed. Thanks for the comments. I have managed to avoid scams...

I shared the situation with a friend who told me to TEMPORARY BLOCK use of my debit card to prevent the withdrawal transactions. It was a simple process online that I had never used and didn't know existed.

ZARA has a Facebook page with a thousands of followers. However this scam on FB has none. There is no link to this page, but it appears as authentic. Zara - Argentina 0 likes • 0 followers Zara de Ropa on FB has the text I read a few days ago. This is not legitimate. Ladies, pay attention...

A few days ago, a Facebook post by the clothing store Zara caught my attention. I ignored it the first time I saw it, but when it appeared again on my tablet, I decided to take them up on their offer for a "mystery box of clothes" at a very low price. As soon as I checked my bank account, I...

I regret changing incandescent bulbs for LEDs. The city streets are lit with LEDs that do their damage. I found a lighting shop that has a small supply of incandescent bulbs. My last purchase was a 15 watt green incandescent lamp that is so easy on the eyes. I use it in the bedroom. I no...

The Salsa band at the plaza drew a crowd and got people dancing. I had no idea why there were so many people walking along Rivadavia, but the music got my attention.

I accompanied my British tango friend to migraciones this morning. The man at the entrance (Carlos) said "he has to return on Monday." My friend calculated exactly ten days before the date of expiration of his tourist visa to be today, so there was a discussion. Finally, he was allowed to...
