    Smallish items to import and resell

    Current/popular new or used Xbox360, Playstation 3, and Wii games. You can just bring the discs and a pack of paper disc envelopes. Small, good markup on mercadolibre, and easy to get through customs.

    Plants for Balconies and Terraces

    You can go to Tigre for the day to do plant and furniture shopping. It's much cheaper than the city and with labor prices so low, they'll deliver it all to you. Some places will put the plants in the containers before delivering...I'm sure any of them will do that for the right price. Plus it's...

    Funeral Question

    It's unfortunate to hear that A&A. I also attended a funeral at la Recoleta for my girlfriend's cousin. I didn't know what to do either.

On Wednesday, the correo came by to deliver but I wasn't here and he gave a form to our flatmate. Now...the package is addressed to my girlfriend because we...

    Fuerza brutaaaa!

    WOW! I simply cannot come up with enough good things to say about this show! It's like 1 part theatre-in-the-round, 1 part audience participation and 1 part acrobatics show all mixed together with a dance party (think Stomp! + Cirque du Soleil). For me, it was a very liberating experience...

    Biking in Buenos Aires?

    First of all: Is it really that bad? I've heard so many horror stories from people that have visited and actually live there in BA. I know it has some horrible traffic, which is to be expected of any city of considerable size. I also know that the driving habits of Argentines are not...

    Saludos!

    Hello, I will be arriving to Buenos Aires on the 3rd of September. I'm very excited! The days just can't go by any faster. I'm 23 and will be attending the CELTA (TEFL) course at International House-BA in October. I grew up in the US; my formative years were spent in Missouri, then the pivotal...
