If you don't mind buying second hand, there is a company here called Maria Maranessi who organise sales every weekend. We recently contracted them to sell all our furniture, electronics etc as we are leaving Argentina. You can see all the upcoming sales on their website and facebook page. You...

Another important thing is to keep in mind is the airline you choose and the reputation they have for flying animals. My vet told me Aerolineas Argentinas are terrible and she recounted some pretty horrible stories to me so it's probably better to avoid them. We are flying Lufthansa and from...

Hi Noruega, I am in the middle of organising my dogs flight to Europe and no, you don't have to use a transport company. I went to my local vet who happens to have experience in this and she told me that once I am clear on the European laws, I can get all the necessary paperwork done here myself...

Tealosophy is a specialist tea shop, they have stores in Alvear and Palermo and are opening more around the city I think. They sell loose tea (and it is certainly not cheap) but Ines Berton (the owner) also does two brands available in supermarkets. They are called IntiZen and Chamana...

Redpossum, I was looking for advice, not smart comments but thanks for the effort anyway.... Citygirl, I would be delighted if you could let me know what your friend says.

Hey all, Anybody know of any open air swimming pools that tourists could use over the summer months? My parents arrive on Sunday for a month and it would be great to have a place to go to on hot days. We're in the Recoleta barrio so the closer to us the better. Gracias for any info!

Sent you a PM.

That's great guys, thanks for all your help. Fingers crossed we get it all through!

Hi guys, Does anybody know how tough customs in Ezeiza are on bringing baby things into the country? My husband (Argentinian) and I (Irish) are in Europe at the moment but we want to bring a pushchair, car seat, sterilizer etc from here for our new baby which we are expecting in November. My...

Hunter boots used to be available in Paula Cahen D'Anvers stores, I saw them in Alto Palermo once. I'm not sure they are still stocking them but they were there 12 months ago.

Hey all, Would anyone have any recommendations or contacts for a person who gives sushi classes? Ideally I am looking for a person who would give a class in my house but if that's not possible it's not an issue. Gracias a todos!
