Wish I had seen this earlier... I've been using Manuel Tienda León the last few times I've had to get to/from Ezeiza, and including the transfer to Palermo it rounds up to no more than 120 pesos. You get a "private" bus in Ezeiza (only Tienda León passengers, prob. 45 minutes), and transfer to...

I wish I could join, but I'm around River and rain is still quite strong. Will wait for Monday's meeting, and I'd definitely be up for an afternoon Guinness.

Same here. Although I'm not such an active poster, I read the forums every day, and it was nice to see some faces! Although I'm on the final weeks of my Argentina adventure, I surely hope there are more such gatherings to come.

Same here, awesome to have met you guys today.

^^^^^ This last post made my night!

I got some at Casa China not long ago and I believe I saw some at Wal-Mart a while back. Cilantro is much easier, you just have to ask directly for it. P.S.: Some people might refer to dill as "aneto".

If I'm in town (which should happen with 70% probability) I'll join.

You could try Nike Running Club. They have many around the city, including one in Belgrano, and surely there's a Palermo group. Otherwise, there are many clubs around the city, some of them gathering in Bosques de Palermo. A (non-exhaustive) list can be found here...

My first encounter with the Bosques de Palermo "cluster" of workers was jogging, and saying it was creepy is an understatement. Someone had told me the Lago de Regatas made a good place for running, with a measured circuit, etc. So I head down there from Nuñez one evening that I felt like doing...

So the level of discussion in this thread degenerated pretty fast... My main point was whether what happens in Venezuela (to some extent a leading indicator when it comes to seeing the effect of monetary policies in place in Argentina) can tell us future repercussions of the current monetary...

Read this first in a Panamanian newspaper as Copa was one of the airlines stopping sales of tickets in Venezuela. I link below to a similar article in the LA Times... I've included some chosen lines from the article to spare some the reading. Venezuela sees more airlines suspend ticket sales...

I've been riding far too many 15's, 29's and 68's to know that bus driver was giving Bolt a chance to show off. I've been in many colectivos that would have given him a run for this money (no pun intended). That said, I met Bolt at a Puma event in Boston, and the guy just seems to enjoy hanging...

Exactly. If you're a resident, have a DNI and a CUIL, it's all good.

Hi all, a bit of an urgent question. A friend is finishing a work contract in Argentina at the end of the week and returning to her home country. Her severance check is obviously made in pesos, and will be given to her just a couple of days before leaving. She was told maybe she could deposit...

You must have an amazing Latino detector. Mariano, it happens everywhere! I lived in Spain for 6 years, and I saw so many people partying with small children past 1 a.m., that as a Latin American I felt uncomfortable as that is something I have never seen done by anyone I know back home in the...
