I can attest to this! ;)

At a coffee chat someone mentioned a store that buys used iPhones, etc, does anyone know of such a place? I know there's MercadoLibre, but I'd rather not deal with the stress of meeting random strangers who know I'm carrying expensive electronics. It's been over a year & I'm still paranoid...

I'll be there :D

There's a gym that I walk by all the time on Dorrego, maybe 2 blocks north of Corrientes. I'll double check tonight on my way to work & see if I can get more specific information about what they actually do there / prices / etc.

Never been to Nuñez! If I'm not working I'm in :D

So you complain about the pizzerias in BA & decide to make your own pizza; only to attempt making dough from scratch, but not the sauce? I find this baffling as a homemade sauce is much easier to make than a homemade dough and way better than anything that plops out of a can or jar.

As someone who previously worked at a fancy restaurant here in Buenos Aires, I am SO glad to see this topic has arisen. Tip 10% people. For the love of god -- unless the service is appalling -- tip 10%. And don't tip in dollars (the owners will keep those), please tip in pesos. Here's my...

Awesome, thanks!

I'm not good at swimming laps, but I should definitely practice. I have a pool on the roof of my building, but it's not very long. Where would you be practicing?

You're right, I don't think a kid would be "corrupted" by hearing a parent speak a language that is not the parent's native tongue. It's just that, how much time does one actually speak to their kid during a day? It's not like most parents take the time to sit their kids down for an hour of...

I can make it at 3pm! So Starbucks again, yes?

If English is your native language, then only speak English to your kid at home -- at least during their early formative years. If you're out & about in the city or at a friend's house, go ahead & speak Spanish if that's what you would normally do. No need to make it awkward for you or the kid...
