    Vitamins: A store like GNC?

    I found this place and it's pretty good and good prices..eventhough much higher than in the USA. Their physical location is in Centro and you merely hit the buzzer and they let you in. http://www.desuplementos.com.ar/ofertas.php3

    BsAs ranked 13th in AskMen.com's Top 29 Cities to Live In

    I kinda agree with RC. Low cost of living for buying or renting property. Dining out is abit cheaper than in most US major cities but I feel the quality of the food and dining experience is better in the US. Groceries are at par to the US. Domestic help is very afforable and attainable in...

    How bad for you is argentine beef?

    In my opinion, I was very disappointed with the quality of the beef and cuisine in general here. I heard back in Y2000, 80% of the cows were grass fed and now only 20% are grass fed. This has had a major impact on the quality hence taste of the beef. It's at par to your average cafeteria in...

    Fine Raised for Overstaying Visas

    Yes, I left BA on April 21 and it was 300 pesos. Other Americans in line were shocked too. The bank where you make your payment will only take Pesos or USD...NO CREDIT CARDS. There is an ATM outside the bank. The American Airlines counter lady was so shocked to see the increase to 300 pesos...

    Dating Argentines...

    I think I was trying to say that if you take an Argentine woman out of that atmosphere and transplanted in the US then those insecurities may diminish. The environment has tremendous influences on our behavior but I don't think your average Argentine woman who is gorgeous will make the American...

    Different prices for visitors?

    It could be that government tax revenue funds help to subsidize the activity therefore residents get a break. This is common in the US as in certain counties will charge less or not charge residents of that county entrance into a park.

    Restaurant Recommendations

    My opinion...steak over here is not as good as people say. You have to go to a very expensive restaurant to get a decent piece of meat. Otherwise it's all cafeteria grade. I did hear Kansas, modeled after the famous Houstons chain in the US, has the best beef. I've been to Juana M and they...
