Hey all- So I bought a sewing machine a few months back when I thought I was going to be staying longer, but I got into a really exciting program in the states and am heading back sooner than I thought, so I need to sell the machine. I still have some orders to finish up on it, so the hand off...

you can buy stamps and send postcards in a "Correo Argentino" Look for a store that has a blue sign with Correo argentino written in red- it is branded essentially. There are not many real post offices, but most Locutorio's are correo's. Also some office supply stores. I spent 5.50pesos to...

Does anyone know where I can buy bulk T-shirts??? I don't need anything printed on them, but I would love it if I could get some that are more delicate knit fabric, and also some that are more standard, boxy made of heavier T-shirt fabric. Any ideas on this front? Thanks! Anya

I think Voces del Sur is the one both of my teachers have, and I have to say I am not a fan. Reading examples of conversations does not really help me learn. I need to learn the pieces and then be forced to put them together myself if the information is ever going to stick. I think I school...

I am looking for a spanish textbook to supplement my private classes - I am not a big fan of the materials both of my teachers are using, and I want something with a workbook attached so I can reinforce stuff I have learned. I have heard that private teachers tend not to teach with homework in...

Hopefully my apartment saga is almost over- I have a roomate from March 1 on, but have the room open from now until March 1. I know a bunch of people have shown interest for truncated periods of time- and I cannot for the life of me keep them all straight- so if you are still interested in any...

Just an Update; room is still open. My roomate has officially moved out now so the room is available right away. I am having trouble filling the spot bcs at the moment there are many slightly cheaper room shares available on craigslist. Go figure, these were not available when I took this...

Ryan- Canadian hairdresser that is recommended here sometimes is AMAZING. In addition to being extremely good at what he does, he really cares about your hair and his clients. He is fabulous company and also (on color at least) offers a 10 day guarantee- like if you hate it in three days you...

Hi Igor- I actually have a question- could you shed some light on the FBI background check for me? There is no way I can get letters from police stations where I have lived for the last five years (I have moved 5 times- and for one year I was in Jordan...) So I think I need to just go with...

Hey all- So my friends and I are doing a late thanksgiving and I want cranberry sauce. One thing noone has mentioned in any of the cranberry threads is dried cranberries/crazins. It is perfectly possible to use dried cranberries to make fresh cranberry sauce- you reconstitute them in...

Hey All; My roommate is moving out and I need a roommate for a gorgeous two bedroom in the lower Palermo area. The apartment has two bedrooms, one smaller with a 3/4 bed and one larger with a full size bed. It is in an old building, but totally renovated. Lots of light, high ceilings and...

I am looking for a surge protector. My apartment (in an old building) has plenty of power strips, but nothing with actual protection from power surges, and I love my computer. I want it to last a long time. I went to a hardware store and spoke with someone, and according to him the only thing...
