    Good bar to watch Argentina match in?

    If you are looking for a non-Argentine experience, try Suger, I just came back from there for the game - It was filled with loud Americans pretending they were Argentine. There were no chairs or bar stools even though we came 1 1/2 hours early, and it took over an hour for our burgers to arrive...

    Moving to BsAs on Sunday!

    Hey Tankgirl, I am going to look at some places tomorrow, but definitely send me some pics! As long as it is in a central location I would be interested. Anna - I don't have a cell yet (I am going to try and get a SIM card sorted out tomorrow somehow), but let me know if you want to meet this...

    Moving to BsAs on Sunday!

    Hola a todos, I'm 22 years old and from Canada, and I'm coming to study at Belgrano for six months. I'm going to be staying at a hostel next week while I search for a place to stay, but if anyone wants to go out and meet somewhere, or even chat on skype (mceroici), then let me know! Hasta...

    Moving to Buenos Aires in July

    Hey Sandra, I was accepted into Belgrano this week as well - I'll be arriving on Sunday! (Yikes!!). If you have any questions, hopefully I'll be able to answer you once I get settled next week. Ciao, Michael

    Motorcycle Diaries

    I just recently finished reading Che's Motorcycle Diaries, after seeing the film as well. It got me really interested in perhaps doing a similar thing, taking a year off and traveling across South America. Does anyone know someone who has actually tried this? Obviously it would be an...

    Worlds best kept secret ( Argentina)

    I wouldn't say all people on the internet, it just seems to be a lot of people on this forum.

    Dollar & peso: 2010 forecast

    I don't understand why the government is still having such problems. We have been doing case studies on Latin America, and we've learned the kinds of things that the Arg gov should be doing to work its way out of inflation, and yet it just seems to make the opposite decisions and make things...

    Colonia/Montevideo trip for students?

    All right, thanks French. This has just been one of the most frustrating processes I have ever gone through, I don't know why they make it so difficult to get a student visa. For the criminal record I have to fill out an application at the police, then send it to Ottawa which takes 5 weeks...

    Colonia/Montevideo trip for students?

    Does anyone know if it is safe for a student to try the Colonia/Montevideo trip to get a tourist visa renewal? I am just about to send my passport to Argentina's consulate in Canada to get my student visa for the 6 months, but I'm concerned that I might not get it back in time before I have...

    What would YOU do??

    Thanks for the advice mini, but the Masters I have been looking at is not an MBA, its an International Business Management program, in which I will specialize in working with NGO's and sustainable economic development. And syngirl, I never said that Argentina was the same as Europe, it clearly...

    What would YOU do??

    Thanks for the advice all, and from how long I've been reading these forums (but not really posting much) I realize how difficult and frustrating living in BA probably is. As for the working holiday visa Syngirl mentioned, I have already done that for a year in Scotland and England. The year...

    What would YOU do??

    Karma, you are almost in the exact situation I think I might be in myself next year. I am going to study a semester abroad at Belgrano in June, and then I come back to finish my final semester in Canada. I KNOW I want to work abroad (I've traveled enough to realize for certain that I don't want...

    Advance Notice of Next BA Hash Run

    I saw the thread title and clicked, but clearly what you meant by hash run is not what I was thinking :)

    Are extra flight stops to BA cheaper?

    I was under the impression that it was already closed? Well, that shows what I know, I don't pay attention to anything that is happening around here. I do remember my econ prof ranting about how dumb the decision was though, as most cities would kill to have an airport in the center right near...

    Are extra flight stops to BA cheaper?

    Thanks guys for the other sites, and InteriorDesigner, I actually did manage to get a flight $200 cheaper by returning to Calgary instead of Edmonton (no idea how that works , but I'm happy). About what someone said recommending to wait for cheaper prices, do prices always drop closer to the...
