Hi all I have moved on from BsAs now but had a great experience with a private tutor who lives in Belgrano. She is flexible, professional and extremely good at her job. Feel free to drop me an email on [email protected] for more info. Otherwise here's her direct details...

Hi all So i'm a football nut. It's one of my big passions in life. I'm wondering if there are any games on here before the 'Torneo final' season starts in a couple of weeks. I mean, pre-season friendly games, anything really, I'm in desperate need of some live football. It doesn't have to be...

Thanks for the advice, the learning curve continues....

Thanks Frank, I was actually just reading a little about xoom. Otherwise it's a case of a USD run? ie. head to Colonia, withdraw a shedload of dollars, change to pesos? If so, best to change to Argie pesos in Uruguay or Argie?

Are you seriously suggesting that's what the enlightened do here? 'Pop' to Uruguay every time you need some cash? Any advice Rich One? I mean, logistically, what are the options here?

A question for any finance gurus out there. . . . Without a local bank account, I took up a Norwegian Credit Card offer due to 'Free cash withdrawals abroad' - to circumvent the fee for normal visa debit card withdrawals. It's worked a charm in multi european locations. But here Banelco charge...

So all this 'Todos con Cristina' literature that splatters the city walls are the markings of yesteryear, as she took power I presume? (i'm rathah new upon these shores!)

Thanks for the feedback folks, so we've been doing some more research over the last few days. @rich one, that looks like an interesting website, we will certainly be using that to supplement our studies. Thanks. A similar one is http://www.veintemundos.com/en/ which has some good listening...

Evening all. . . So my girlfriend and I, after a week in BsAs, are now starting to wade through the endless options when it comes to Spanish lessons. We see advantages in both private and group based classes, which is just one thing we need to decide. The more posing issue is where to commit...

Thanks so much for the offer, as it panned out we had a quiet christmas at home, what with the multi skyping that was required of us to various loved ones back in Europe. I say quiet. Then we entered war zone time! Thanks again!

Great stuff. . . . thanks all! Tomorrow I shall head off on a hunt.

@internationalguy, I assume it's all that internationalling that has created a bitterness in tone. @thomsono thanks a lot, that explains it. I was informed of this half price deal by a local, hence my original post.

Hi I've just moved into the Laprida/Paraguay area, my nylon guitar strings took a beating on the journey over here from Europe. Does anyone know where the nearest music shop would be? I'm looking to get ahold of some D'Addario EJ32 Folk Nylon strings. Any advice is much appreciated.

Hi all I have purchased a Sube card to take advantage of discounted fares, instead of 3.50 per journey. However, upon checking my balance (after 4 journeys), I see that 14 pesos have been deducted. Which is still 3.50 per journey! Is there something I need to do in order to validate the card...

Seasons greetings to all! My girlfriend and I have just moved into an apartment on Laprida/Paraguay, having landed from Stockholm a couple of days ago. We're wondering what the deal is for Christmas here. Does anyone have any recommendations on fun festive goings-on? Will restaurants be open...
