    2nd Dumbest Quesition Ever: MACH 3

    I'm on a roll... So I was stoked to see MACH 3 razor blades for like $5 US in the Farmacity. I was thinking what a crazy racket I could have by buying a load of the razor blades and selling them once I get back to Europe on ebay hahaha. As a woman though, I have sadly never tried them. Anyone...

    Dumbest question ever asked here... hehe

    goodness gracious, ok, perhaps it is only the supermercados in my barrio that don't carry them! I will go to Palermo and check at Carrefour, too. Mil gracias :) Ah yeah, the water crisping up trick. Usually though by the time we get to the lettuce it is past water crisping up potential, moving...

    Dumbest question ever asked here... hehe

    Ok, I was wondering if anyone has ever seen Ziploc bags or something similar in any store in BsAs? :p I have looked in Disco, Coto, Icky (hahaha Eki), Jumbo and of course any local little shops I happen to pass. We have the lamest fridge in the world and are hoping some Ziploc bags will make...

    Best Way to Receive Package from Abroad

    I was pleasantly surprised yesterday that the UPS package my friend sent me containing my replacement visa debit card and favorite ballet slippers arrived, It only took 3 days, though I paid through the culo for it. But it arrived, no hiccups.

    Moving to BA - San Telmo

    I had a one-month 'abono' at City Gym, it was just fine. I wasn't using the weights but rather the bicycles. Good price, relaxed staff. Go during off hours though or you will wait a while since they only have like 4 treadmills, one bike (upstairs) and one of those elliptical things. Downstairs...

    International Helath Insurance

    Hello! I'd like to know if anyone has some kind of international health insurance. I basically move every 3 months to a different country and plan to keep doing so for a while. I have health insurance in the US which doesn't do anything for me abroad. I was wondering if anyone has any good...

    Anorexia

    Ah yeah, I didn't know about the talle unico thing...? Is it really that common though? I went to some boutique shops in one of those big malls, it wasn't that cheap though...they had many sizes. Where are these cheap boutiques? :) Anyway, talle unico seems like a dumb idea from a sales revenue...

    ballet classes

    Hey there, when I came here it took me a while to sift through the many many bad dance school websites until I found one that had actual info (hello, a schedule!?!?) that was useful. SO. For your daughter, she MIGHT be a little young. Most classes for the little ones (pre-ballet, fun movement...

    Cat calling

    I'm a woman and this is off topic, but does anyone want to start a new section of the forum called 'Men's Forum?' Also with a similar subtitle 'Dealing with how hard it is to be a man abroad.' Then we could all discuss how we (ok not me, but MEN) are continually victimized by the opposite sex. LOL

    Highly unusual weather continues in 2011

    Hey there, I live in San Telmo. It is cheap, and I think it is safe even though everyone says otherwise. I walk around here at all hours of the day, night, early morning ;O) and have never had an issue. But I am not a real scared-of-everything person anyway so... The only complaint I have about...

    Is buenos aires dangerous? Kidnappings & muggings: 2010 update

    this sounds weird, but i kind of want the bird poop scam to happen to me :p i hold on to my purse like a mofo so i know they won't get it. perhaps when they see me cracking up laughing it will really destabilize them and they will just give up.
