    What Do You Miss The Least From Home? (Ba Cast Survey)

    Sure I can elaborate... in the US I would go out to a lounge (bars and clubs are going out of style back in the US), sit at a table with my friends, interact with no one new, go home and be hungover and not have any fun. Very predictable evening and a waste of money. Here in Argentina, the...

    What Do You Miss The Least From Home? (Ba Cast Survey)

    I agree with this... I don't miss how boring and predictable life in the United States is... so many puritanical rules makes like very routine and boring. I like the anarchy and unruliness here in Argentina. It makes life so much more random and fun....

    Pepperoni

    The punto pizza pepperoni is kind of close to pepperoni but still it's not really pepperoni but probably as close as you will get in Argentina... it's just basically like thinly sliced sausage... and if you have to settle for thinly sliced sausage the best pizza I have had in BsAs was at El...

    Best/favourite things about BA

    1) The fact that everyone here is super good looking and are willing to hooking up with you (in other countries these hot people would have an attitude and never even talk to you, here they will talk to you and have sex with you) 2) crazy nightlife, much better than the boring, sit-down...

    The subway is back working again so now I can recharge my card... but while the subway was on strike none of the kioscos could do it... maybe the SUBE recharge people went on strike too... anyway, now I can recharge my card in the subway. Oh and the post offices only issue the SUBE cards...

    Where can I recharge my SUBE card?

    I went all over Cap Fed today stopping at every kiosco I walked by and none of them could charge the SUBE card and most of them had signs up saying that they aren't recharging SUBE cards. Finally at the last kiosco I went to by my place where I have recharged my SUBE card, there was a sign that...

    VoIP phone service

    I use magicjack and it barely works... I have a pretty fast connection here (3 Mega) and calls drop all the time, sometimes the phone never rings, etc. It's really embarrassing when you are trying to secure a deal back in the US or Canada. I used to have BroadVoice which worked better but...

    Turista Visa 1 Day - SeaCat

    I took the shortest trip ever on Seacat in September. I was in Uruguay for approximately 15 minutes... just enough time to get off the boat, go through immigrations and get back on the same boat back to BsAs... I even sat in the same seat on the way back much to the dismay of the crew who...

    Rice Krispies

    Yeah sorry they didn't turn out that great... I ate those rice krispies I bought in the picture above and they weren't that great... they had kind of a "not so fresh" taste to them... shocking that yet another food item was of bad quality here in Argentina....

    How smart are Argentine cats?

    I think animals are smarter here... why are the wild dogs in the street so calm and normal? How can my friends bring their dogs for a walk down crowded and busy Santa Fe WITHOUT a leash and the dog walks with us like he's just another human in the group. More than one of my friends from the...
