I'm a lesbian, and even though I've faced difficult situations, I've never felt discriminated against or hated because of my sexual orientation. That's why it's shocking and distressing to read news about hate crimes. It's heartbreaking that these situations continue to happen, especially in a...

We recently returned from Buenos Aires, and contrary to some pessimistic views expressed on this forum, our experience was overwhelmingly positive. Despite the occasional complaints, we found Buenos Aires to be truly amazing. Our stay in Palermo was the base, but we explored various parts of...

Hello everyone, The insecurity in Argentina is increasing more and more and the cops do nothing. I still don't understand what is the point of stealing a watch when there are people carrying cell phones or more expensive things on them. After the watch was stolen I went to the nearest police...

Dammit! No harm done, probably just a scare. At Plaza Almagro, by three other "kids" probably his age. He's 15 and was always in the company of another kid, either my younguest son (11), as today, or a schoolmate. This happened already twice in front of the Subway or/and Burger King on Avda...
