I've seen second hand children's books in English at the weekend feria de libros outside Parque Centenario, near the anfiteatro but I don't recall if these were specialist dealers or just mixed in with regular Spanish language editions
@Lindap, have the host school agreed to this? Do they know you are only staying for two months? Is it part of a teacher exchange deal or something? Years ago, when our kids were just kids, we spent three and a half months as a family in a foreign country. We "touched base" with the local school...
Pero - Mercado Libre
I'm sure there are bargains and straightforward pricing somewhere on Mercado Libre but there are an awful lot of bandits out there too.
Looking up the current prices of certain RapaNui products the other day, two listings in particular from Mercado Libre rose to the top of...
I think you might be surprised at how far downhill other counties public healthcare systems have slipped - especially since the pandemic. Twenty years ago I would have said that the UK NHS was working better than public healthcare in Buenos Aires but not any more. Guardia/A+E are still about the...
Due to unforseen circumstances, I'm going to be staying longer than originally planned which means that I'm going to run out of my stocks of Yorkshire Tea! You probably need to be British to understand what a crisis this represents but, does anybody have a recommendation for a locally-purchased...
@Ceviche You don't see Argentine students making a name for themselves? Four of Argentina's Nobel prizes were won by those who claim UBA as their Alma Mater: the fifth, Adolpho Perez Esquival, spoke at today's rally and studied at La Plata.
The list of the further Argentines whose work gained...
Surely the black and white markings on the crossings are just so that, whatever colour clothes you are wearing, the motorist can target you clearly?
Seriously though, I wonder if some of you are living in a different Buenos Aires from me? Out here in Comuna 11 I could sometimes think I am back...
Apart from cleanliness and other operational issues, I think there are at least two other questions: how much does it cost to run a railway and how much should people be asked to pay?
The very poor - and you know exactly who I mean - couldn't afford the old prices anyway. They "Ride the Rails"...
I'm coming back again this week and I'm bringing a couple of pump action bottles of insect repellent. OMG! Now I've let that out, I've made myself a target! If I get mugged outside Ezeiza it won't be for my gold Rolex or the diamond encrusted rings - it'll be the mosquito spray they'll really be...
A bricks and mortar travel agent in Panama City once sold me a ticket like that and there were no comebacks for me but serious problems can arise. Google for Hidden City Ticketing and Lufthansa.
