    Looking for recommendations for best private hospital for a quick visit, in Palermo.

    When traveling, or living in a city that has one, best to look for a "JCI" hospital. There are three in Buenos Aires...including Hospital Aleman. For a traveler, it is a no brainer.

    Crazy restaurant

    Jeez....well....I am a 'stand up guy' I will pay the 1500 next time so that I don't have to sit on the floor....perhaps one can say that I will become a 'stand up' guy. And referring to the 'dicho' meaning I want you to know that I am a 'stand up' guy and will help you get to your next visit...

    Crazy restaurant

    P55...thank you for the explanation. The practice then...goes down a little easier. The two local people that I was with had not experienced this charge before..either. And thanks for the comments of Steveninbasas.....he is always a stand up guy.

    Crazy restaurant

    I had gone to Anotnino Restorante on Jorge Newberry a couple of times. I was studying the bill yesterday, and notices a charge of 1500 pesos per person 'table charge'. I went in and gave them hell. Of course they did not remove the charge. I told them that next time I would sit on the floor...

    Is there any way to decline Medicare Pt. B?

    Advice....whatever you do.....go slow. Medical premiums in Argentina are like a drone flying out of control. No one knows where they will land ....but for now they are out of control. I mean seriously out of control for all ages. (I have catastrophic worldwide insurance bought in the U.S and...

    Medical insurance question

    I am drawing attention, again, to my previous post. I have had repeated visits to Hospital Aleman in the past 7 weeks regarding Sciatica problems....MRI....CTG....Xray and per visit fees. These fees are not what I consider onerous. Perhaps around $20 to start with.(The MRI with...

    Is Argentina Still a Good Deal?

    Some of the price increases can only be characterized as violent. Best selling yogurt up 300 to 350%. A bag of Starbucks beans used to be about $4....now some places $18....and Nestles instant coffee...out of sight. I will pay the price....but for a lot of people deal breakers will affect...

    Is Argentina Still a Good Deal?

    I think of my decision process about moving here last year, in regards to the cost of living, and the comparisons have been blown out of the water. Giving other countries more consideration is 100% smart. I am not saying to rule out Argentina....but it has turned upside down.

    Western Union money transfer

    Nonsense. If some major future events were to be anticipated....they would already be priced in the market. So prices today reflect the future fantasy. The number one law of economics......It is what it is.

    Introducing myself

    Wow.....Wind Dancer! Congers up images of a Zorro-like character. As for me....I need a little romance and mystery in my life. I hope Wind Dancer stays anonymous. Perhaps this modern mystery character will never reveal their identity or anything more than where they dance and the direction...
