Yes exactly that pharmacy. Thank you very much for the recommendation. I should have specified that it was exactly the pharmacy you recommended. They are very helpful and kind.

Thank you to everyone for your recommendations. And particularly for the recommendation for that specific pharmacy. They were able to refill my prescription with me simply showing the old prescription bottle, and gave me a 2-week supply which more than covers the remainder of my stay here. And...

Thanks all for your replies. Most appreciated.

I've already tried that. No pharmacy will give me an antibiotic that is for an msra resistant strain without a prescription. But thanks for the suggestion. Is the Hospital Aleman private and reasonably fast? I thought it was public, and speed is my most important issue here. But if they're...

I should add, that it doesn't have to be in Palermo. As long as it's a reasonable distance via say Uber from Palermo, I'm happy to go to any other barrio in the vicinity of Palermo. Thank you.

There was a thread that was quite dated recommending La Trinidad, but it was from 2011. I did go there once probably 2014 or 2015, and my experience was good. I saw a doctor quickly and they dealt with the matter. More recently since I bought an apartment in Palermo Hollywood, I've been going to...

I take my share of the blame and perhaps I overreacted to what I perceived as rude comments and generalizations about my home country. Maybe in particular because it was from a person that I recognize from being from my own community, (LGBTQ). When asking questions and/ or advice or providing...

I disagree with you. I've deliberately refrained from commenting and making broad generalizations, unless directly addressing points raised by the prior poster. I do take it exception with people making patronizing comments about my own country. As I'm sure you would with respect to your own...

Obviously I can only speak for myself, and you can only speak for yourself. You raise some fair points about the notwithstanding clause but we can agree to disagree on many. This Canadian notes that this US citizen with some connection to Canada, and a better knowledge than most US citizens...

You conclude with a straw man argument. I never raised the level of tolerance/acceptance in BA vis a vis Canada. Your observations are your generalizations stated from your own personal experience. You should make that clear. I have lived in Toronto as well as suburban and rural parts of two...

Most Canadians are too polite to refute such utter nonsense made by our Yankee neighbours to the south. No one in Canada puts their wealth or house at risk if their health is at risk. But I am off topic (grocery prices compared between here and Montevideo), so I'll keep my rebuttal short. And as...

We commonly use that expression in Canada. Without a UK accent and despite using dollars and cents as our coinage.

WU just posted its new rate at 1020. I transferred money just now for the payment of my expenses and ABL this month.

Does that mean you are against legalization of Cuevas? You would continue to prefer to exchange your US dollars in an illegal manner according to Argentine law?

Thank you Sergio. I just attended the bakery and they had the cake in question and it does look very much like a traditional English Christmas pudding. And it's an excellent looking bakery. Now I just need to make the rum sauce. Thank you so much for your recommendation.

I'm very generous with my porter and his wife. But they are very good to me and take care of my apartment while I'm not here. They are constantly doing repairs and work that I asked him to, they are just amazing.

Thank you I appreciate the response. Yes one would think with their love of the cow and all meats, suet wouldn't be a stretch. I did look online and found something called vegetarian suet? Whatever the hell that is? And it was something like 26,000 pesos, so I'll stick to to a Christmas pudding...

Hi. Further to my above thread, does anyone know if the above church has services in English on Christmas/Day eve? (Or any Anglican services in CABA). Their website and social media does not say. This question was posed once before in 2012 with no responses. They had a carol service on the 20th...

I had given up on finding suet. But I can adapt my recipes to make them without (blasphemy, I know right). Actually many of the ingrediants you can find in Coto, for Christmas pudding at least (at least that's where I found many last time). I've just been laid low with a nasty chest cold and...

Hello: I am Canadian (with partial British roots). A typical Christmas dinner dessert that is served in our family at Christmas is Christmas pudding with brandy sauce or mince pie. Does anyone know of any restaurants or shops that may sell these Christmas desserts (served on the 25th in our...
