    pointers about the Colonia visa run

    We did the run no problem. Took the day. We've got to go again and I was wondering if there is a beach there. Not looking for anything swanky, just something a 15 month old would enjoy. A little splashing and some clean sand?

    Pros and Cons of Living in Buenos Aires vs Other International Cities

    I don't know about SF, but in NYC there are "vendors". They don't put things in your lap, because they are not as trusting. There are the kids selling m&m's for their "basketball teams" and the people with that homeless magazine and that mariachi band that practically lives on the L. I...

    Personal Photoshop Lessons Needed

    I-Joe, very funny. poor guy. LAtoBA, I work in Photoshop a ton, but I'm a terrible teacher, but I would suggest tutorials as well. I don't generally look for tutorials on youtube, because even when they are not this awkward, they always seem a little painful to me. But text based ones. If...

    You are eating dog food....

    This is not the kind of place that slips a menu under your door. Dismiss it and it will be your loss. Chopi is awesome. They use fresh mushrooms, like real actual mushrooms. And blue cheese that isn't so blended and melted into that strange ubiquitous white cheese that I think is supposed to...

    Communication Skills / Business Etiquette

    I had a friend whose father was raised in Russia, and he said they had a saying in Russia when he was a boy, "We pretend to work, and they pretend to pay us." I can feel that sentiment here.

    Camps for kids

    I have had about a dozen different people tell me about this place http://www.risasdelatierra.com.ar/ I haven't investigated too much because my son is a little too young, but everyone that has mentioned it has sung their praises. If you check it out, let me know what you think. I'd like...

    bad mommy buys non-age appropriate toy

    and now would like to sell it. I bought this like 20 minutes ago for $74 pesos at Supermercado de Jugettes. I thought it would be a good push toy for a not quite walking baby, but it's not properly balanced so it doesn't work for us and our place isn't big enough to hide such an item from...

    Edamame

    Edamame is soy and soy is one of Argentina's largest exports. You'd think it would be somewhere. If you find some, let us know.

    Baby group - we don't seem to have had a new thread on this for a while.

    My guess is that you must live in Palermo Soho, going to Plaza Armenia. Just an fyi, there is a Gymboree in the same building as the Starbucks just near there. The parks were just getting too hot for us to handle, so we started a few months ago and it's nice and clean and cool. Our...

    Robbed by two drug junkies

    I hear this sentiment a lot. I take the bus and my porteño friend act like I'm insane, and I only take it in the day. My husband and I have a friend that we've coined a term about, but I'll generalize it here. p.p.w.g. - places porteños won't go. Apparently, there are a lot of them.

    Health care insurance in the USA

    I would agree with sergio, that much of the health care in the U.S. is of high quality, insofar as they have all the newest and latest toys for diagnosing problems and the hospitals are not dingy and they have advance surgical techniques, etc... but I would argue that general medical care for...

    Health care insurance in the USA

    From what our insurance tells up (osde), you can get a card (I can't remember the name - medi-card or something like that) that extends your coverage overseas. I think it has a time limit, but it's something to investigate.

    Health care insurance in the USA

    I can tell you this — without doubt or hesitation — that my experience of the public and private health care of Argentina make me afraid of our ever returning with my child to the U.S. health care system. The cost is astronomical. We're self employed so we are responsible for insuring...

    Heads up on a (probable) apartment scam

    We contacted someone about an apartment on Pueyrredón, and got back an extensive email about how the owner was not in B.A. but that a company called international letting was handling the rental and that we should send her our info, she would send it to the comapny, they would mail us the...
