Been on and off BAExpats since i moved her 15 months ago...why am I still a "newcomer" and how can I change it?

Welcome to BsAs-- which is short for busted ass...jajaja i broke my ankle last year on the afore-mentioned broken sidewalks (first broken bone of my life not counting baby toes) Two words for you Mr. or Ms Jogger. Puerto Madero, Chris Soy una profesora de ingles tambien!

Does anyone know when this Nov 20 holiday starts? Is it this year? I hope so because I work 6 days a week and could use a day off...also that is my birthday weekend and it's a BIG one --the kind with a zero in it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have spent time in both Panama and Costa Rica and now here. I like the cultural aspects of Buenos Aires. San Jose costa rica is not a very nice town in my opinion and ticos have been spoiled by the influx of "rich" gringos for the last 30 years and will try to cheat you if they think you're...

I'll try to make it too... Chris

Hello! I heartily recommend the ER at Aleman...broke my ankle in april and was seen very quickly, efficiently and (for me) cheaply... cost 300 pesos (I don't have insurance). The only catch was it was 10:30 Sunday night and they didn't have any crutches so had to go to Ortopedia Catalan the next...

I am a certified TEFL teacher...I have a fairly full schedule with some gaps so I am looking to pick up some more students but I'm going to the US from May 29th-June 15th and will be here until at least December or longer so call me if this works for you 11-3360-4874 Christy

Hi John, Welcome to the thread. There is plenty of work here...and they seem to like native speakers. It is not well paid but it's never been the most lucrative of professions anyway. The going rate is between 25 and 40 pesos an hour. I have 4 employers; two private teachers who give me students...

Great to hear from you all. If you want to find me you can click on my profile (Christy Caldwell) and look at my photo. Toni and I are both medium height American ladies. She has short cropped blond/brown hair and I have shoulder length blond hair...we are both over 40 :) Bar might not be too...

Calling all expats and English speakers! A few of us are meeting tonight for a drink and a chat at the Godoy Bar in Palermo @8:30. Address is Paraguay 4905. Let us know if you can make it on short notice or just show up! Christy and Toni

See you Sunday 5 PM. Can't wait to meet you all! Have a couple of books to swap-- not great literature but the local used bookshops are limited in their scope.

Yes, count me in! I've been writing for years and had lots of poetry published in the 80's. Now I mainly write emails to friends and family but have lots of ideas and impressions of BA that need to record...Teach most nights until 7 or 7:30 but can do Sundays and Saturday mornings. Christy

Sounds like fun! I will try to make it and will confirm closer to date!

Had the worst pizza of my life here...at a bar called La Cigale on 25th de Mayo...Sorry, but there are a few pizza basics that are not negotiable. What's the deal with artificial cream cheese? Where's the tomato sauce? Venezia Italy has the best pizza I ever tasted and I'm a pizza lover.

Welcome...I thought "sevens" was rugby not football.:) Have a son who's a mad All-Blacks fan. Where is the gringa-fest on Monday nights? (Looking for stuff to do and other ex-pats to go out with.) Cheers, Christy
