    Does anyone know of any good English speaking Counselors/Psychologists?

    I had a good experience with Susana Olaneta, she speaks excellent English and is very helpful. She had office hours in Palermo and perhaps other barrios too. https://sites.google.com/site/bacounselling/ [email protected]

    Lemongrass

    yes, I've regularly bought lemongrass in Belgrano also - they always seem to have it at the huge supermarket on Mendoza, around the corner from Arribeños (I think it's called Asia World or something like that).

    Visa advice: I want my Argentine friend to come visit me in the USA!

    Hi, thanks for the comments - my friend does have a bachelors degree, she has previously visited the USA as a tourist and returned to Argentina, so perhaps that track record will help her. It sounds like the best thing I can do for her is to send her an invitation and write a letter (addressed...

    Palermo Veterinarian Recommendation ?

    Palermo Veterinarian Recommendation ?

    We had the best vet EVER, ever, ever during the three years we lived in Buenos Aires. Graciela Castillo on Av. Honduras in Palermo Hollywod. She was SO fantastic and helpful and kind. Having her as our vet (for our two dogs) was really one of the best parts of our experience in Argentina...

    Another thread about extending tourist visas

    That's not quite accurate - you can do this visa renewal as many times as you want, but you can't do it twice in a row. That is to say, if you arrive in Argentina in January, your tourist visa will last for three months, until April. You can go to Migraciones to renew your visa in April. Then...

    Hi all- My boyfriend and I are moving back to the USA (fro BsAs to Portland, ME) within the next few months. We have just a bit of cargo that we'd like to ship home rather than carrying everything on the airplane. I've been researching shipping companies to see if there is an affordable option...

    anyone rented an apartment from www.bairesinn.com?

    I just want to follow up on this thread - I did end up renting an apartment through Magali at www.bairesinn.com. It was a positive experience, everything worked out fine and I was pleased with the apartment and the service. Magali was nice but most of all I was impressed with the owner of the...

    Recommend a private tango teacher?

    oooh. I can't remember. I took classes with her a few years ago, I imagine her prices have changed since then anyway! Definitely contact her, I believe her email address is on her website right? Get in touch and ask her! She may also be affiliated with a school, I'm not sure - I met her through...
