...and CLAIMED.

I'm looking for someone who has a similar background as me who would be interested in taking over a few of my classes I have had the past year. I taught elementary school in the U.S., have a concentration in ESL, am 27 and female. The classes I am hoping to find a replacement for include...

Anyone want these? The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo-Stieg Larsson The Girl who Played with Fire-Stieg Larsson House Rules-Jodi Picoult I Know This Much is True- Wally Lamb Born to Run- Christopher McDougall Old Runner's World issues (I hate throwing these away-it's good stuff! Plus, they made...

The "azucar integral" you can buy at barrio chino works great when I make cookies. In fact, I like it better than the brown sugar in the U.S. because it seems to have more molasses and is more moist.

"Aballay: el hombre sin miedo" is a very good movie. Might not be available yet, but should be soon.

Does anyone know where I can find GU Energy Gel? My fiance tried four different running/biking stores today and none of them sold it. We're hoping to find some before Sunday when we run the Buenos Aires Marathon. We don't want to assume that they will be in the race goodie bag, so thought we'd...

We haven't started anything yet (that I know of). I'm currently training for the October 9th Buenos Aires marathon so my Saturday runs are between 12-22 miles and during the week I do sprints, tempo runs, or easy runs (3-10 miles). I definitely wouldn't mind having someone to run with, so if you...

I teach 6th grade here and the kids are very curious about the U.S. They've bombarded me with a copious amount of questions including: The various U.S. sports teams, the games, the fans, the sports themselves, different slang words or "cool" things to say, what and when I eat, if I know...

This might be a long shot, but are there any expats who own any of the novels, short stories, or poetry by Sherman Alexie? If so, I would love to borrow ( or buy) it/them from you. Thanks!

Hey everyone, PM me if you want to join me for Monday, Wednesday, or Friday 8 am run around Lagos de Palermo (5-7 miles). If you're training for the half, I think our short runs will still correlate. BALife, I'm doing the Buenos Aires marathon, but this is only my second marathon. I'll be doing...

Walk through the reserve, run around Palermo Lakes, eat some ice cream or a hamburguesa completa(!), join a volunteer organization, take a class, take the tren de la costa, observe the architecture, enjoy the colors, be content in the fact that you are not bored and you are challenging yourself...

I'll hang. I definitely wouldn't mind holding a conversation with someone other than my boyfriend, my Argentine (male) roommate, or my students(all male). My schedule is packed during the week, but let me know if you want to grab a coffee or drink next weekend.

Hey everyone- I believe I started this thread, but got busy and failed to act on my idea. I'm still interested and would love to start something up! Although hash house runners already has a club, I'd like to start a group of runners that would like to train for the Buenos Aires Marathon (or...

I just started with a wonderful Argentine teacher, Noelia. Classes are 45 pesos an hour and the first class is free. She uses all types of teaching techniques to keep class interesting and has the perfect blend of kindness and patience for the struggling Spanish speaker. Her email is...

I've never had a problem either, although it was a fear of mine when I moved here. I made sure to pack three jars of Laura Scudders as one of the only non-clothing items I allowed myself to bring. I think the pasta de mani is great. The only ingredient is toasted peanuts. Most dieteticas have...
