Just a headsup that this article by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard is the first in a series of five in the Daily Telegraph about the economy in Argentina. If you are motivated enough to want to read the others, they are very easy to find.

Museo Fotográfico Simik in Bar Palacio (one of the bares notables) in Federico Lacroze, Chacarita had lab facilities and meet-ups for photographers when I last went along there. Actually, not the last time I went there. The actual last time I went there was for an evening of jazz which was not...

I think it might be both or either (180 days and/or one renewal per year) Like you, I am careful not to break the rules of the country where I am a guest and when I returned recently, the 90day entry would have pushed me over the limit but the immigration officer seemed satisfied with my...

Are you talking about the limit for bringing cash over the border into Argentina which as far as I am aware is still USD10,000? That's just undeclared cash: you may bring in as much cash as you wish provided you declare it and can demonstrate where it came from. But there are risks associated...

Everything @sergio writes in his initial post may be true but it is not everything. It's a bit like the enigma of trying to describe the death, damage, destruction and devastation of the London blitz during the Second World War without mentioning that many people who survived - perhaps most...

Did Maurice Chevalier work on his accent to sound more American? Did Dick Van Dyke work on his accent to sound more English in Mary Poppins? Well, okay, maybe he should have done but unless you are aiming for a career as a Spanish speaking undercover superspy then having an accent can be an...

Unique Selling Point/Proposition

You should tell them that. For anybody who doesn't already know, Reuters business is selling news to publishers and their USP is the quality and accuracy of their reporting.

Maybe somebody else can recommend a good, safe, locally sourced adapter: I don't really have the expertise to judge one before buying it here so when I bring appliances from the UK I crop off the type G UK/Ireland plug and fit the local type I plug instead. Sometimes available amongst the...

Great post! Loved it! I first arrived at Easter that year. Plus ça change Plus c'est la meme chose Buenos Aires is so different now but it's still, unmistakably Buenos Aires. Do come back and embrace the changes and the similarities: I think you'll love it here.

Thanks for all the suggestions! Virgin Islands has turned out to be the best choice for me. El Gato Negro is certainly nice tea but still rather mild for me and starts to become stewed if left to brew for longer and Twinings: the pack of English Breakfast Tea bought here in Buenos Aires is...

While you are waiting for your repeater to arrive there are a couple of hacks you can try. If the router is currently autoselecting between 2.4GHz and 5GHz try setting it to one or the other and seeing which is best. The other hack is the famous beer can wi-fi reflector. Google it. You may be...

Your iron should work here. The problem is either the wall socket or the adapter or both. Well, it's definitely the adapter now anyway. It ought to have been made of thermosetting plastic - probably phenolic - and should discolour and smell if it gets over hot. If it's melting then you have no...
