Hello! I brought my dog from the States to Argentina and back again. I have TONS of info on this and I wrote several articles about it. I did not sue a broker and you in no way have to. If you do it on your own it will cost you several hundred for sure but no where near 2000. I would be happy...

Ricardo is actually incredibly professional and helpful. I went to him with my old laptop, knowing it was on its last leg. I told him I just needed it to live for a few more months and asked him to give me his honest opinion. He could have overcharged me, made up issues, given me a bad...

Looking forward to seeing all of you tonight! If anyone sees this - it´s not too late, come! I asked for lots of chairs so come and fill them!

Try this website: http://www.stolencamerafinder.com/ Of course, no guarantees that the Argentine authorities would be able to help you but a lot of people have found their cameras this way! Good luck!

It definitely depends on a few things such as where the house is located, how many kids, at what time, etc As sivan said, 30-40 pesos would be normal but I would not be surprised if you were offered less. Generally, if you are babysitting for expats they will pay you more in that range because...

Sadly, I am leaving Buenos Aires on January 24th. It is very bittersweet. At the picnic I organized last weekend, many people requested that I organize one last dinner. I am touched that so many of you have enjoyed the regular meetups I have arranged so I am , of course, more than happy to do...

I worked for this agency too. I ended up letting a girl live with me because she had the same issue with being kicked out of her family's house. I also helped two other AU Pairs who had family issues and never got help from the agency. Pretty terrible.

No tables or chairs/ bring blankets! I did pick a place with a good amount of shade though.

I just saw a Wendy's last night and was shocked. I don't eat fast food but I used to enjoy the occasional spicy chicken sandwich. Wendy's is so weird, it comes and goes in lots of cities. We always had them in my city growing up then they disappeared for about 3 years, now they are making a come...

Just keep checking back on the board, there are always events and meet ups. Expats are very welcoming, so you will make friends fast!

It doesn´t have to be but there is no where to cook the meat, so you would have to bring pre-cooked and cold or just fiambres. I personally don´t eat it but I am sure there will be plenty of people that do!

One thing I love about summer is that you only want lighter food (most of the time!) but since I live alone, leafy salads tend to go bad quickly. Anyone up for sharing some recipes? Here´s one of my favourites (so easy and it holds well for a few days) 4 bean salad All you need is red wine...

I am sure the holidays in Argentina are quite different from the holidays wherever you are from. Of course we always miss certain things (no white Christmases here!) but I am interested to know what part of the holidays in Argentina are your favorite.

I forgot a time! I will arrive at noon. Everyone come around then so we can start eating! Also, it is really awkward for me to sit under a sign that says PICNIC all by myself. And for those of you who asked- YES you are welcome. Everyone who is on this forum (and their friends!) are welcome to...

The last picnic went so well I thought I would do another one right after the new year. Learning from last time, I am providing much more details. I have attached a map with where to meet in the Bosques de Palermo. For those of you who made it last time, it is the same place. For the rest of...
