Yes, I concur with cbonanni. In the last year it has changed and if you subscribe to Fibretel your tv should be ok

My kids go to Northlands. It has a very good reputation. it's 95% Argentine They are very supportive to non native Spanish speakers - lots of one to one to begin with. Ours knew hardly any Spanish, and friends tell me when they speak Spanish you wouldn't know they weren't Argentine! Happy...

I agree with Syngirl and elhombresinnombre. You need to be taking the drugs before you depart and for the whole time you are there and afterwards (follow the instructions). In a previous life I lived in Africa and got fed up with taking the tablets all the time so took them on and off - the...

I am selling a brand new stuffed butterfly chair for $200 pesos (I paid US$80 for it). It is still in its packaging (see photos below in attached file) It would make a great present for a tween or young teenager or just as a groovy extra chair. Very comfortable too. The fur cover zips off...

I was recommended a product here called Nopucid (get it from any pharmacy). It smelt pretty strong but it did the trick!

Does anybody know if most of the shops in the Alto Palermo shopping center will be open today? thanks in advance!

I have campo tickets for Green Day at Costanera Sur. Grateful to know what to expect - the tickets have seat numbers on them. Are there seats in the campo area? If not, is it a free for all as to where you stand in which case the earlier you get there the better position you are going to...

Just count 8 digits back from the end and prefix it with 0054 911

May be, username, your last post was a typo but I can confirm it should definitely work as follows 0054 911 57712345 (you missed out the 5 above) so should be 0054911 and then last 8 digits. Good luck. On a similar note I came across www.rebtel.com for cheap international phone calls - work...

British Airways are very expensive for transporting animals. You can use other airlines and go to mainland Europe but you then have to enter UK via ferry/tunnel. Air France is very reasonable

Many thanks for this useful reply and thank you for answering my original questions. Others had given me their views on suitable cars but that's a personal thing with many factors and I'm not at that stage yet. However, thanks to everyone for taking the time to respond.

Useful to know, thank you. The thing is we need a 6 seater and if we are going to explore the country(side) something comfortable with space for luggage too.

It would be nice to live without a car but with kids to get to school/activities etc we'll need one. Thanks for replying though
