Wish I had seen this earlier... I've been using Manuel Tienda León the last few times I've had to get to/from Ezeiza, and including the transfer to Palermo it rounds up to no more than 120 pesos. You get a "private" bus in Ezeiza (only Tienda León passengers, prob. 45 minutes), and transfer to...

I wish I could join, but I'm around River and rain is still quite strong. Will wait for Monday's meeting, and I'd definitely be up for an afternoon Guinness.

Same here. Although I'm not such an active poster, I read the forums every day, and it was nice to see some faces! Although I'm on the final weeks of my Argentina adventure, I surely hope there are more such gatherings to come.

Same here, awesome to have met you guys today.

^^^^^ This last post made my night!

I got some at Casa China not long ago and I believe I saw some at Wal-Mart a while back. Cilantro is much easier, you just have to ask directly for it. P.S.: Some people might refer to dill as "aneto".

If I'm in town (which should happen with 70% probability) I'll join.

You could try Nike Running Club. They have many around the city, including one in Belgrano, and surely there's a Palermo group. Otherwise, there are many clubs around the city, some of them gathering in Bosques de Palermo. A (non-exhaustive) list can be found here...

My first encounter with the Bosques de Palermo "cluster" of workers was jogging, and saying it was creepy is an understatement. Someone had told me the Lago de Regatas made a good place for running, with a measured circuit, etc. So I head down there from Nuñez one evening that I felt like doing...

So the level of discussion in this thread degenerated pretty fast... My main point was whether what happens in Venezuela (to some extent a leading indicator when it comes to seeing the effect of monetary policies in place in Argentina) can tell us future repercussions of the current monetary...

Read this first in a Panamanian newspaper as Copa was one of the airlines stopping sales of tickets in Venezuela. I link below to a similar article in the LA Times... I've included some chosen lines from the article to spare some the reading. Venezuela sees more airlines suspend ticket sales...

I've been riding far too many 15's, 29's and 68's to know that bus driver was giving Bolt a chance to show off. I've been in many colectivos that would have given him a run for this money (no pun intended). That said, I met Bolt at a Puma event in Boston, and the guy just seems to enjoy hanging...

Exactly. If you're a resident, have a DNI and a CUIL, it's all good.

Hi all, a bit of an urgent question. A friend is finishing a work contract in Argentina at the end of the week and returning to her home country. Her severance check is obviously made in pesos, and will be given to her just a couple of days before leaving. She was told maybe she could deposit...

You must have an amazing Latino detector. Mariano, it happens everywhere! I lived in Spain for 6 years, and I saw so many people partying with small children past 1 a.m., that as a Latin American I felt uncomfortable as that is something I have never seen done by anyone I know back home in the...

I bought yesterday plane tickets to fly back home for the holidays. Spoke quite a while with the travel agent, and she said they're being kind of strict as it seems its being taken more seriously this time. She kept a copy of my DNI (Extranjero DNI, but doesn't matter which type as long as you...

I second that. For the purpose you seek, Barolo is likely a more unique place. I do believe they would arrange (for some extra green) a private visit to the top just for this. I'd recommend to visit Barolo yourself first to get a sense.

Kudos to your comment. Money and opportunity always play a role in the perceived support of a regime. Every government, good or bad, left or right, military or pacifist, has supporters and detractors. And history has shown every government also has the ability to lose these supporters quite...

A charismatic enough leader can get away with many things far beyond the borders of LatAm, maybe not mass-murder, but there are many ways of being violent. Arguably, obligating people to support a street rally under the threat of losing their job, income and food for their families is a form of...

Hi all, I should be arriving in Bs.As. on Tuesday night, and I'm looking for both a short-term place to stay (if forum members can recommend specific airbnb hosts, even better) for a few days, and a long-term (1 year) rental of a 1 BR, studio, or even a room in a shared apartment. My preference...
