I have a few, probably boring, questions... For almost 4 years, I have worked for a company that sells imported watches, jewelry, and handbags (Michael Kors, Tommy Hilfiger, Guess, etc). For our company's website, we have used Webnode and my boss pays for a premium package and has been for 3...

...with the new rules. I am lost. My dad sent my son a new XBox and me assorted (cheap) goodies from the US. His girlfriend listed the items as gifts and put the total value at $50.00. We usually devalue things when sending them abroad, but I admit this makes me nervous. Believe it or not, the...

Ok, this is a bit off topic, but I thought this was a hoot and could only imagine what sort of signs we could make especially for our transit system here! :eek: Someone has made fake London Underground signs, and whoever did it is a ruddy genius. A few pics from the post:

'Falkland Islanders and Argentines agree: Unlicensed fleet is scooping up too much squid' http://news.yahoo.com/outlaw-fleet-scoops-squid-argentine-174005514.html

A group of us just got back from a week in Tandil late last night. I don't know how many people have been there and noticed this, but this town is swarming with stray dogs, who stay fed by chilling out near the campsites and a few locals who leave food out for them. Some of these pooches are...

Ok: So there is a group of us going to Tandil (and after, Necochea) on the 18th. The problem is that one person in our group has an expired U.S. Passport. I know we need to present passports when we buy the tickets, but I wonder if having a barely-expired passport will be that big of a...

Looked up the reviews online...and they say either that it's great with huge portions OR that it's horrible and not worth the money. Anyone here actually go there?

I came home from taking my son to school to see this scribbled next to my front door with a crayon-like medium. Maybe it was there when I left, not sure, but it was most definitely not there yesterday. Should I be worried? Maybe it is just a kid being a hood wannabe, but I am afraid I am being...

Just when things were sailing smoothly, my twelve-year-old gets diagnosed with psoriasis this morning. He has it on his scalp, with a few spots on his arms, neck, and chest. It could definitely be worse as he only has it in these areas. Now I am at work, pecking away online with my phone to get...

...any ideas or tips on things I can add? I am going to my son's classroom to give a little talk about our home country (and to help bridge a gap that my son is feeling with his Argentine classmates). I have some ideas (maybe a few of our holidays that we don't have in Argentina, the fact that...

I know I am beating a dead horse here, but I get so frustrated at the amount of trash on the streets and sidewalks. I know a lot of this is has to do with the cardboard collectors, but a more than fair amount is just trash thrown by pedestrians. On Friday I saw the driver of a waiting ambulance...

Any recommendations for an OTC, non-drowsy allergy med that also doesn't make me feel like I am tripping out? I am allergic to who-knows-what. If I have another week of sneezing, coughing, and my eyes looking like I have reefer madness, I am going to scream. I had allegies on previous visits...

Anyone else wanna turn on the AC this morning?? :D I tell ya, I am tempted!!

Hey, hey! My 12-year-old son is into jazz at the moment and really wants to go out and hear some. ANY idea on where I could take him? The only places I have heard about are bars or clubs for adults.

...or the plastic flowers in your hair, so what gives? I keep my strappy, heeled, booty, and snooty footwear at work. For my commute, I wear a pair of Sketchers or my laid-back Roxy flip flops. Who cares if I am wearing trousers or a skirt? To me it is a no brainer, especially on these...

Last night my cell phone was taken right out of my hand by a passing bicycle less than a block away from my house (in a relatively safe neighborhood in the province). A porteño coworker said today, "Now you are one of us!" Go me! :rolleyes:

Hiya... My name is Stephanie and I have been living in Buenos Aires for about a month now. Yeah, not long! I am originally from a small resort town in Washington State, and lived most recently in Spokane for work. I moved here to be with my Argentine fiance who is in med school. Before this I...
