    Hand tools

    What are the premium brands, the decent brands you might not buy if you're making a living off of them but will hold up under regular use, and the brands that sell garbage which will soon be useless and make you go out and buy again? I'm just looking for the basic hand tools, not power tools...

    Crypto in ARG for beginners

    I've Googled, but it's hard (for me anyway) to find info both reliable and relevant to ARG. I've searched here, but for all I know some of the info is out of date while some is still relevant - trouble is I don't know which is which. It's like reading a thread talking about ARG prices from 2...

    Websites that review Argentine wines or have active forums

    Anyone know of a comprehensive website that reviews Argentine wines or where they're talked about on a forum? English would be easier and faster for me to read if such a website exists, but I'm more interested in websites that are comprehensive in their coverage of Argentine wines so Spanish...

    Resources for learning Spanish (as spoken in Argentina)

    I was an expat living in Perú for almost ten years, and spent an accumulated several years of winters on top of that over the course of my life living in Mexico and Central America. I wouldn't consider my level of Spanish to be fluent, but more "conversational." People tell me it's good, but...

    I’ve done some research and have some ideas on how I’m going to get from EZE to La Falda, but thought I’d run it by here for opinions on my assumptions or suggestions for better ideas. First time in Argentina, but I’ve got experience as an expat in Latin America and before that as a regular...
