Yes, we can get the Mexican beers here, although I prefer Sol to any of the others, the Negra Modelo is a fine one as well.

And if you can get Stella in San Diego, it may just be time to put in for a transfer! I think Target has some stores there!

my first job was at target(housewares, baby, housewares!)... but avoid the northern san diego county area, 'cause it sucks, and it is rare you'll find anything beyond bud, coors, and MGD along with the other majorly distributed "micro"-brews (sierra nevada, redhook, etc...) but come to think of it, i don't think i've seen stella on tap anywhere in this town. i look around and get back to you on that

also, be prepared NOT to be able to smoke anywhere indoors: bars, restaurants, coffee houses, concert venues, etc... they got strict in california.

you're easily pleased then :D

well...I am used to drinking this swill that they call beer here in the states...and if I'm not mistaken, Stella has been judged as the best in the world on at least two different shows I saw on TV...and if you see it on TV, it has to be true...

Swill eh!!...fine no more Bass for you in my fridge!

I wasn't referring to Bass or Harp...I was referring to the mass produced wonders of Budweiser, Coors and Miller!!!!

good save there Jeff...ok, Ill put more Bass in my fridge just for you....but to get any, you have to bring the tape back over or make me a copy! :evil4:

yes...I discovered that smoking thing when in SF for Area One...went into a Fridays...ordered some food, a beer, and then asked for an ash tray...you should have seen the look the mad bastard gave me

in a way, i am glad that we don't smoke indoors. it keeps me smoking less AND not spending as much $$ on smokes...

i briefly dated a girl from Buenos Aires. i couldn't comprehend the idea of swimming in a pool on new years day. i kept having to remind myself of the hemisphere difference.

10 Jul 2003, 19:04

Growing up in the southern hemisphere it was weird to see all those movies with snow on Xmas etc, when I've always spent Xmas and New Years lying on the beach - nothing better than a 3 month summer holiday at the end of the school/uni year - now it's 20 days leave a year. :cry:

wearing next to nothing, drinking margaritas at a BBQ, while watching bing crosby's "white christmas"

your right, that is a funny thought.

it's past nine o' clock here in the valley and it's still 90 degrees :thumbdown: :cry:

yeah. same here (viceversa). it´s hard to understand all that snow in Xmas. specially because it only snowed once in Buenos Aires and it was in 1918! IMHO the best place to be on a new years day is a beach in Brazil, though. heat, girls, cold drinks, fireworks, sand, water, good music.... ah, how i wish i be there right now :nod:

it never snows here in san diego either. though, if i drove an hour and a half into the mountains to the northeast, i could be in the snow (though i never go). the san diego winter is cool, grey, with some rain. nothing spectacular.

sounds kinda like the north eastern U.S.

in Buenos Aires, you are on the east coast of South America so a lot of your ocean current comes down from the tropics, bringing humid air-masses with it. if you lived on the west coast, somewhere in Chile, i am sure there wouldn't be as much humidity...

here, our average temp is around 24C, never much above 35C or below 13C. there is hardly ever any humidity.

hey, so in your opinion, when is the best time to visit Buenos Aires?

i like march. the temperature is always between 20C and 27C and the sky is moslty light blue all the time. also the Jacarandá trees are in bloom so the whole city is painted in blue/violet. nice!
