Thanks, nlaruccia! Yeah, my doc diagnosed me about 10 years ago in my case. I'm starting to get some symptoms like tingling in my legs and sluggishness and wonder if my T levels have dropped. It could be some other condition, but it seems like thyroid is the first place to check as I haven't...

I have hypothryroidism and need to consult an endocrinologist about this condition and related issues. Before scheduling an appointment with him or her, I'd like to have my thyroid levels tested (i.e., blood test). The rub: I don't have health insurance here and would be paying out of pocket...

Always has worked well for me. Nothing fancy but it has everything you need, especially weights - machine and free. It only gets super crowded from about 6pm-9pm. I paid 180 ARS per month for 3 months but that was about 2 months ago, so I wouldn't be surprised if it has gone north of 200 by now...

Medellin is #1 on my list right now. Why do you like it so much, kisicki? How do costs compare to BA on things like renting apartments, groceries, restaurants, etc.?

Check out Erasmo (Libertad 850). I had a nice office chair that they custom built for me (unfortunately it took about 6 weeks but they could sell you what's in inventory) for around 1600 pesos. That's a big chunk of change but well worth it if you are a telecommuter like me. I'm leaving BA in...

Just arrived at home to my building in Palermo Soho, and a girl about 25 years old, who isn't a resident, was talking to one of the guards in the lobby. She had just been robbed in a kiosk next door by a guy that had "pointy thing" under his shirt. Needless to say, she was visibly shaken. Two...

Any idea about the de facto and de jure tourist visa policies for other Latin American countries apart from Argentina, namely Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Chile and Peru? I'm a telecommuter and am not interested in applying for residency or citizenship but rather staying in a country for...

I have been paying my rent in USD by exchanging my ARS for USD at a close-to-market rate at Banco Patagonia. It has been a few months, so I don't know their going rate but you can simply walk in to a branch (in my case, the one at Sta. Fe and S. Ortiz) and they should have a page posted...

I'm a 35-year-old male and have been living and going out here for about a year. Here are some places I like that seem to have a slightly older crowd: 1. Carnal (Niceto Vega and Humboldt) in Palermo Hollywood. Nice terraza on 2nd level (heated and covered during wintertime) and live music on...

Try J&R in Manhattan. The warren of stores is a sight to behold. I have purchased from them online and in person and they sell plenty of cameras.

http://www.nypost.com/p/lifestyle/travel/what_the_deal_with_buenos_aires_xTxvxUu6ubpIfUavqV01dM This is a fun little article. What do you all think? As a recent arrival and likely future half-of-the-year resident, I find myself, like the author, getting "sucked in" rather inexorably by Bs...
