hi, I would also recommend la casa de las botas. I had a pair made to measure a few months ago. The service was excellent, they have a quick turn-around time, and the boots are just divine. There are lots of styles to choose from, and they're happy for you to mix and match. They're not cheap...

hi Amber, i have a studio apartment with a private roof terrace that is rented out short term to tourists, but I would be willing to consider a one year contract. It's on Av Estado de Israel, one block from Av Cordoba, 4 blocks from the subte. It has heating and AC, a double bed, dining area...

countless tree-lined avenues; the smell of jasmine plants when you're walking along the street; the weather; the architecture; seeing dog walkers with like, 15 mutts trailing behind them (but not the poo, obviously...); the support of the arts, with so many fabulous, free events; the tango...

hi Estibaliz, I can't comment very much on specific beginners tango lessons, as I had already learned to dance tango in Edinburgh before I moved here. However, I can say that I used to go to a tango practica which is open all day, where people sit around and drink mate in between practising...

a friend of mine just 2 weeks ago went to Palos Verdes (one of the ones listed in sernudista.com.ar). I thought it was just a nudista country park, but he says it's really quite full on, with rooms for sex where people leave the door open when they're happy for others to join them (or not...

excellent, i look forward to it :-)

isn't it just a ruse to distract people from the increase in the price of beef this week, and the lack of beef coming in from the countryside...?

Hi guys, I'd be up for some crafty business too. The beads sound lovely. I work with wood quite a bit, making frames for my paintings, plus I make a whole load of different things to put around the house and garden, lampshades, candle holders, sculptures, anything really. I especially love to...

hi, I buy essential oils quite a lot for use in the face and body care products that I make. I usually get my oils at: Jemco, Perón 940, piso 3 and Balvanera, Hipolito Yrigoyen 2476 I have bought from Deva's in the past, which is a lovely place, but much pricier than the others.

i don't know what kind of place you're looking for, but my 2 favourite restaurants to go eat out for a special occasion are Lele (Costa Rica & Thames) and El Ultimo Beso (on Nicaragua betw Thames and Serrano). I think the food is better in Lele. They are both beautifully decorated, but in...

hi guys, I'll next be in on Sunday. As long as it doesn't rain, I'll be at the Glorieta milonga in Barrancas Park in Belgrano, from 7.30-11pm (it is a beautiful, free, open air milonga in a bandstand. If you haven't ever been, it's worth a visit. You can just watch, you don't have to dance...!)...

no problem :) just let me know how much you'd like...

Sadly, Gruyere I can't offer you, but goat's cheese with real flavour I can. I keep goats and make cheese. It's a bit too strong for the local palette but perfect for mine! If you're interested, I'm in capital a couple of times a week and can take some in. It's AR$10 for 100g, semi duro...

no, you know what, I had the letter for the residency. It didn't even come up as a problem when I went for the DNI. Have you resolved it, or are you still waiting for your DNI?

sorry, only just checked back on this thread... I resolved the name issue by asking the British Consulate to stamp a letter that I produced, which stated that my passport and my birth certificate are for the same person, although the middle name appears in one doc and not the other. They used to...
