    Birth Control

    If you have experience using Nuva Ring, you can buy it over the counter in a lot of pharmacies. Last year the price was up to $230 (June), but I have since got an IUD, so I haven't asked in a while. You can also get condoms (male & female in some places - but it's been a while since I've seen...

    Sushi & Delivery

    It may be. It is listed that way in Guia Oleo, but I have never actually been there (i am told it is very good and that I should) so I have no idea. The way I was taught, "nikkei" means "second generation", as in, someone who was born to Japanese parents but is not Japanese. I am not sure if...

    Sushi & Delivery

    You are right, but for some reason it is a pretty common thing around here. Because of the Centro Nikkei restaurant. A lot of people call it "The Nikkai", no CLUE why, and now people use Nikkai/Nikkei as if they were the same. I started wondering if it was a nickname for the place but I have no...

    Libraries With Book Rental?

    There's a new program (I haven't tried it myself), but it looks like it does exactly what you need it to do: http://www.buenosaires.gob.ar/cultura/bibliotecas Not a lot around Recoleta, tho. :(

    Sushi & Delivery

    Ah, Ambassador, I wish it was that simple. As much as I like cooking, I have simply botched sushi rice one too many times to trust myself to do it justice any more! I probably should take a class. Next time I order sushi I will be trying both Tenkuu (which I know I am in range of) and will have...

    Sushi & Delivery

    I used to be able to pick a random sushi place from a delivery list and just get decent sushi 8 out of 10 times. Decent, not amazing, I have yet to find a place that does delivery that has amazing quality (Itamae sushi sure charges as if they did, but yeah... no). However, nowadays, I am...

    Unconventional Meat Cuts

    Ahahaha. Don't judge me too hard! It was the only thing I found as listed online as an "alternative" on short notice that would not cost me an arm and a leg and leave me with a full bottle of something I wasn't going to ever use. If it is of any consolation, the egg whites murdered the tiramisu...

    5 Most Common Excuses Argentines Like To Use

    I remember an episode of an anime I watched when younger (Silent Moebius) which had an episode set in a future in which the rain was so acidic that people could not walk under it anymore. It made me incredibly sad to think of the possibility of a future where going out in the rain was not an...

    Unconventional Meat Cuts

    Augh, this forum. Ate my post. Anyways... That sounds seriously delicious. I am getting pechito this Friday and trying this recipe (if i can find some fresh rosemary...). I love all kinds of cooking techniques and love trying out new recipes! I actually happen to have half a bottle of the...

    Avoiding Foreign Transaction Fees

    I have never in my life heard the exp<b></b>ression "red buck". Googled it, but I don't think I found what you meant (some pretty ladies came up in google images, tho, will give you that). I'd rather not use credit cards except for specific expenses (20% off my Coto digital purchases!) but this...

    5 Most Common Excuses Argentines Like To Use

    It may have to do with the side effects of rain. You will go around walking and suddenly find you can't get across the street because the area got flooded. Or you end up stepping on a loose tile (of which, let's be honest, there is plenty) and get all the muddy/dirty crap from it all over you...

    Avoiding Foreign Transaction Fees

    For debit card purchases you do not need to input your PIN here in most places. I use my debit card all the time and have not had to input a PIN in years (outside of the ATM). I have also started catching some places that are becoming lax with asking for ID with CCs and DCs and it annoys me. I...

    Unconventional Meat Cuts

    :| Dang. Is getting the whole thing and just freezing half an option? Going to be annoying because the ribs near the "tip" are shorter, so you probably would not be able to get a full meal out of them. BTW - can I have the recipe for the rib dish? :x

    5 Most Common Excuses Argentines Like To Use

    I am exactly the opposite, lol. The only time I will refuse to go out when it rains is if I have JUST had my hair done with a treatment that requires to keep it dry. But I only do those once every 6 months or so, so not often enough. And forget umbrellas, they are a hassle to carry around...

    Unconventional Meat Cuts

    Serafina - this is the specialty meat store mentioned before : http://www.delicateses.com.ar/ As far as the ribs for your second dish, aren't those the ones that come in the pechito de cerdo? Whenever I want to make a rack of BBQ ribs I get a pechito de cerdo sin manta and marinade/slather with...

    Looking For League Of Legends (Las) Expat Gamers

    Hi all! I am hoping Video Games fit into this subforum. My husband (American expat) and I (Argentinian) play League of Legends in the LAS servers. If you are an English speaker playing here, then you know that Americans in general are not that well received, and that if you queue with someone...
