    Ideas to bring something from the US?

    I knew an American scientist that had large containers shipped through to him from the port here, it was pretty easy from what he said. I don't know how he did it though. His equipment was very large, and consisted of sensitive light measuring apparatuses.

    Info on traveling to Brazil

    Perhaps the Brazilian Embassy might be the place to go. It is on Carlos Pellegrini, 1400 ish. Although I feel I am stating the obvious. I think the fee is 120 USD.

    Favourite Eats under $40/50 a head

    Status - Congreso. It's great peruvian food, and I believe the oldest peruvian restaurant in BA. Try it and you shan't be disappointed. It is very inexpensive but portions are generous.

    Obamacare: Say goodbye to Grandma and the grandkids!

    Human beings deserve care, due to their innate and essential equality of being. It's barbaric how people write off illegal immigrants as undesirables and not fitting of care. Being illegal makes no one less of a person, and being American certainly makes no one more of one. I realize the...

    Book Club in Spanish start-up

    Hi! My name is Andre and I'm interested. Maybe we could do some book swapping if we get this off the ground? I have some books I read in spanish which I would like to trade for new material. I live in Monserrat so I selfishly wish that this happens in San Telmo. Thanks!

    Obamacare: Say goodbye to Grandma and the grandkids!

    Speaking as a social worker I have to say that the US has a serious class system which dictates who gets what. . . and often the wealthy get what they don't need. It is immoral for a country as rich as the US to still have 50m uninsured. The only "system" that exists now is a fee for...

    Is Argentina Doomed?

    The article is idiotic. I don't know anything about Argentina, but I do know about China. His statements about China are on the level of babbling incoherences. He may, by chance, end up right about instability in Argentina, however that would prove nothing other than that Latin America often...

    Open veins of Latin America / Guide to the Perfect Latin-American Idiot

    No, I'd real like to read Open Veins. As for the other book I'd sooner not read it. It seems fairly obvious from a neutral perspective that Latin America has been mercilessly exploited by itself and outside powers for a long time. Anyone who lives here knows there are problems. . .

    Hong Kong Style- Real Gourmet Chinese

    It wasn't and the general actually existed. He was a general during the warlord cliques part of Chinese history during the 20th century (1919-1927ish). That is if I remember my history classes correctly. Also because China is huge there are many many regional cuisines you will encounter once...

    overstaying your 3 month visa

    Hi guys, I've read that the fine for the MERCOSUR citizens is 100 pesos. I'm a Chilean citizen... does this count? Chile isn't part of MERCOSUR but gets a lot of the perks as a semi-member observer. I am here on my Chilean passport. Thanks!

    Gay Life in BA

    Real deep Diego David... Existential debate aside is there any organised meetup, or is anyone interested in creating one? Gay scene here strikes me as skittish and full of games. Bitches be throwing shade everywhere. As far as integration f*k that, neither futbol nor football interest me much...

    Gay Life in BA

    Not that I know of. Generally everyone pretends to be straight on an expats BB. I don't, however this seems to be the rule. If you know anything please tell me. There are some good clubs and places but as far as groups and organisations, I have no idea.

    Hi, My name's Andre and I'm looking for a store that stocks a lot of Italian food products. For example polentas, italian olive oils, pastas, etc. I'm from NY and I am used to cooking with a lot of Italian or US brands. When I try to cook with Argentine brands the experience is rather flaccid...
