'Kicillof told reporters the government does not oppose an “agreement between private parts” ' from Buenos Aires Herald, July 31.

I've been living in Spain (Madrid & Valencia) for the past 8 months and have never once caught such a cheat here, not once, after having refined my eagle-eye in Buenos Aires over 4 years. Can't tell you what a relief it is not to have to worry about such things. I've also largely stopped...

I found 3 bars within a block all showing the game and rooting for Madrid, and one down the street rooting for Barce. ... Oh wait, I forgot to mention, I AM in Madrid ;) :rolleyes:

It seems to me that the number of expats leaving has accelerated over the last year, but I've no hard data, and that may just be my own non-rose-colored glasses reaffirming/rationalizing my own decision to leave.

Folks, we may have gotten off-topic here... Maybe the well has gone dry, but I'd like to hear from more men who have made a home here for love, or from those who've tried. All comers welcome, be they hen-pecked and/or still madly in love, or just hopeful and searching.

[/size] I like Jeff's ref. to Stockholm Syndrome, i.e. capture-bonding. Another way to look at it is frog-cooking. You know, put a frog in boiling water and he just jumps out, but put him in tepid water and heat it up very very gradually so he's cozy and stays, doesn't notice he's getting...

Still undecided--it's a tough choice, feel like a kid in candyland. Am currently in Seville, already spent a week each in Madrid & Barcelona. Headed to Valencia next. Likely will end up in Madrid or Valencia.

My story a variant, a failed variant: I came to BA 4 years ago as a divorced 57-yr old semi-retired consultant. Was married 24 years and have 4 great grown kids. I came to BA to learn Spanish, to meet my Tucumano relatives, and to start out afresh living in this big exciting city. Too shy...

Absolutely disgraceful and shameful. To fight the opposition press, los K take away their ad revenue, threaten with "anti-monopoly" legislation (thankfully frozen on appeal), raid their journalists' homes (cited here), and are now threatening to expropriate the single source of newsprint...

Hi Kate, It's near impossible to answer your question without knowing more about your tastes, needs, and tolerances. You'll find rents (and food costs, believe it or not), all over the map, depending on where you want to live. How fancy or 'rough' the barrio?, the commute distance/time/hassle...

Really impressive responses, and I love the price! Tom, you should take all these guys out to lunch :D

Gigi I suggest you start a new thread. And please provide more details. And always verify/confirm the advice received here with 2+ attorneys. Suerte, Jim

I applied and was accepted there 6 months ago, after a brief interview. At that time they did not require a TEFL nor any teaching experience, although they said they 'appreciated' my U.S.-based doctorate (in physical chemistry, not exactly relevant). They were offering ~46 pesos/hour, with...

Who says Groupon is only available to residents? Over the last few years I have bought 30-40 household items, restaurant meals, sports items etc. without any problem whatsoever. I don't have my DNI, was never asked, it just never came up. I pay on-line with a USA-based credit card, print out...

Dear BAExpat Members, Sadly I'm leaving Buenos Aires for "awhile" and must sell/donate my remaining items. I've added new items, am still located in Palermo Botanico near Scalabrini Ortiz y Las Heras. Sorry much stuff recently sold but items still remain with cheap prices: FURNITURE: Palm...
