Yea, okay, this one I agree with. To be honest, I think we were a bit stunned... and we had kids with us... alone, we would have left. With kids, who were already probably past their "best before" time, we just wanted to feed them an get it over with. Bad planning perhaps, coupled with an...

Yes, pitipur, point taken. And indeed I *have* waited tables. That's why I was so shocked. As a front line worker, I've always seen myself as the face of an establishment, and therefore, responsible for what ends up on the table in front of guests. It's my job to ensure that all plates are...

Yea yea, vegetarian, I know... dumb way to be in Argentina. :) But then, the nail didn't come in MY salad, it came in my girlfriend's. The English was so that we could express ourselves respectfully instead of losing our cool. We knew from previous experience that the restaurant caters to...

Interestingly, when my girlfriend posted her trip advisor review, she found more than one negative review over the past several weeks... wonder if they're getting too big for their britches. In any case, I agree with your other comments: Generally great food (minus the nails), touristy, pricey.

La Cabrera is a well-known steak house in town with -- until recently -- exceptional reviews on Trip Advisor. We'd gone in December, and decided to go one last time for a final dinner before heading back to Canada this week. I would like to recommend AVOIDING THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE --...

Yuck, dishsponge dirt mixed in with my unmentionables? No way, don't do it!!

The sponge might be the dirtiest thing in your house.... :P

OMG, you are HILARIOUS!!!! (Okay, well, except for the totally UN-politically correct poverty/ghetto stereotype schtick, but LOL!!! ROTFL LMAO!!! Thanks for making me smile at the end of this otherwise discouraging and mentally exhausting day. :D And now, friends, I am going to let it all...

Thanks, khairy for rescinding some. I've done dummer stuff, too, hehe. Anyway I know I know, I was careless... I'm usually far more "on" this sort of thing, believe me! We have these crazy backpacks, for instance, with hidden, lockable zippers that we use, and slash-proof fabric. And I've...

Your point is well taken... you are right, one cannot stereotype. I know that Toronto is not crimeless, and actually, after 6 months in BsAs, this is the first time something like this has happened, and as so many pointed out, it's not violent. So, anyway, sorry if I allowed my "home" bias to...

Hehe, I was just thinking about that, Shoeb, lol! You see, after you bought mine, I'd been using my GF's... but then she had to head out to the US, and took it with her, so we've been relying on the kids' pacsafes, which are too small for my laptop. So, as we were just going to the boys'...

Wow, pretty harsh khairyexpat, no? Firstly, "He" did not mean anything, as "he" is a "she", thank you very much. Secondly, why are you assuming I would take up the other helpful writer's advice to lie to the police? (I have not filed a report, nor would I -- I do not have insurance, nor do I...

Does the "Prey app" slap the perps in the face and then walk the stolen goods back to owner? "Find my iPad" just announced to me via email that the iPad (and presumably the laptop) has been located. on Aguero, near Cordoba. I guess the nice, friendly person who found it won't be returning it...

I guess the moral of the story is avoid McD's like the plague, hehe.

Yes, yes, all passwords changed. Up all night. Ugh. Nightmare. I did not have passcode on my iPad (convenience, stupid me), but I DID have "find" enabled... waiting to see if and when they try to log onto wifi... hasn't happened so far... we shall see... (Trying to remember if I removed all...

Hehe, yes, until yesterday, that was my reply, too! ;-P And yes, I agree, I do feel very grateful that it was my own stupidity and carelessness, rather than violent incident. (Interesting, though, one of my boys in particular was VERY affected by the whole thing. He suddenly realised that not...

Yep, I know. But I can't not try to remain optimistic for at least a 24 post-theft mourning period, hehe. Funny lessons -- the first we've been vigilant about until this day... the second, I spend so much time teaching my students and my own kids all the time, lol! Maybe now *I'll* learn!!! ;-P

I am a teacher visiting from Canada. On Thursday evening, my twin boys and I went to the McDonald's under the bridge near the 3 of February Parks, in Palermo, on Libertador, and we left our iPad and laptop there. When we came back 10 minutes later, they were, of course, gone. I know there is a...

Bad[size=4] Well, there are sometimes limited ideas to be exchanged when you only have one or two or three students... plus you never get a break! Hence the desire to hook up with other home schoolers and share the load a little. We co-home-school with another family twice a week: Her mom...

Hi! We're from Canada, and I've been homeschooling for the year (I'm a certified teacher, but I took a one-year, unpaid leave of absence, and subject my kids to the same rigourous drama I run in my classroom back home, lol!) We're wrapping up end of March/early April, but not heading back to...
