Hey Lisa. I generally just go to Queenies, but my salon Javier Luna has been offering discounts frequently so will be getting my first gel there this week with my Citibank card and apparently will receive a 50% discount. At least now its easy to get a really great exchange rate through the...

Hi everyone. I am having a moving sale with lots of great stuff - much brought down from the US! Here is the link to the website with all current pictures and descriptions of items: http://buenosairesitemsforsale.shutterfly.com PM me for more information. Will likely have an open house sale...

Just two to add... Going downtown to get a large money withdrawal/transfer in order to avoid regular ATM fees (I use Xoom) and visits. First checking the rates a few days in a row to try to secure the best rate. I've never in my life regularly withdrawn large sums of money at the time. When...

I have Fibertel/Cablevision with expanded plan including HD and HBO. I'm watching the election coverage on Fox & CNN this morning and watch the news every morning. I was able to see my SF Giants win the World Series on ESPN HD VIVO from my bedroom (late game) and can often catch my SF 49ers on...

Hi girls. Does anyone know of a good place to get a gel manicure? I just arrived back from 3 pampering months in the US and got used to getting a gel manicure every three weeks for about U$30 in San Francisco. I found Queenies in Palermo Hollywood, which charges $211 for the gel manicure...

My refrigerator stopped working (think it may need new motor). We've tried two different repairmen who never show up or return calls. Any reliable vendors out there that you have used? Thanks! :)

Has anyone tried Stevan from London. I'm just lost without Ryan and need my blonde locks cut and natural looking highlights. I know about Terri Orr too, so no need to recommend. :) I tried Richard Fitch back in '10 and was not impressed (sorry)...he bleached my hair and it took months to get...

Hey ladies. I have heard that there are some massage style treatments that help with cellulite and are quite popular in certain portena circles. In fact, I know there is one person renown in Recoleta that a portena friend said is no longer taking new clients. I worked with one gal in Almagro...

I live a couple blocks away and will definitely come by to say hello and check out your new cafe! I'm from San Francisco. :)

Always (alwaysclub.com.ar) on Paraguay/Gurruchaga is pretty good. I've been going over a year and the classes and equipment are pretty good for here. Treadmills are good, elyptical machines really old, huge free weight and station set-up.

I love love Fred with Silver Star he's truly the best in town and I recommend him to all of my clients as my number one referral. His cars are awesome and service unparralleled. His prices reflect his excellent service. Another option for a very sweet Argentine driver with a basic car is...

Traveling to the US and will rent out my nice 1BR w/ terrace in Palermo Soho. Located in a luxury building with gym, sauna, pool, parilla and roof deck. Please email/message me directly for more information. Thanks!

Jen- Let me know what you come up with as I've been dying to get out on the water too. I'm from San Francisco and have always spent a ton of time sailing (yay America's cup 2013), though more as a passenger than crew member, but I know a thing or two and would love to learn more and happy to...

I wanted to do the master cleanse for pre-holiday festivities and was so happy to find your recommendation from last year. The guys there are super nice and they have 100% pure (I'm guessing about Grade B) Maple Syrup. They also have lots of other little goodies we expats are often in search...

The difference is solely in the pasteurization process (heating process to remove the bacteria). Milk in the cartons is ultra pasteurized, which means it has a shelf life of like 6 months. The carton will read UAT (instead of UHT in the states) somewhere. I believe once you open the UAT and...
