i survived, just. my thoughts on this mad, bad, schizophrenic city. http://beautifulbeats.wordpress.com/2011/01/31/a-year-in-ba/

don't forget that this sunday is critical mass or 'masa critica' as it's known here. last month's drew over 1000 cyclists and they took over the autopista. it's a super fun and exhilirating way to spend a sunday. if you feel adventurous, you can join the next full moon nocturnal one too, the...

i want to get the ball rolling on getting permanent residency here. i have my criminal reports and birth certificate apostilled. i know i need to get a copy of my mother's birth certificate in order to get the process going, and will have to get my various english documents translated into...

OnmywaytoBA - i have sent you a private message.

better curries had off brick lane though. i always went to tayyabs for the spicy hot ribs, okra curry and fluffy peshwari naan breads. YUM.

wowsers. we're trying to organise a reunion of people we've never united. basically, who's up for a drink with two hackney chicas? cheers. our last big night out...

i live just round the corner. fencing classes are on friday evenings. my dad was an olympic fencer so i've always been drawn to it but never stuck at it. i would be up for joining too...

sweetdee. there is a small fixed gear scene but very marginal and in its infancy. your best bet for a cycle scene would be to check out the critical mass events once a month. i've included the link to their facebook page and their flickr. i know of a few people who are friends of friends who...

my friend is interested!! could you give me more details or let me know how we can go about contacting her/seeing the apartment if it hasn't already been taken. thanks!

two of my best friends in BA are from bahia blanca, brother and sister in fact. you can tell they are not porteño in their 'forma de ser'. i have also heard lovely things about bahia from them.

didn't know how to link so i just quoted an old post of mine. hope it helps....thoroughly recommend el conventillo de teodoro, ticks both 'off the beaten track' and 'low-lit' boxes nicely.

I KNOW!!! my mum is argentine! that is what i was alluding to with my post. it is indeed a term of endearment. :)))

and it's not always accurate, in other words, you might get called gorda regardless, even if you're not (i'm not fat for example)

mini, gorda is a term of endearment, my mum has called me gorda since i was a kid. i think it's sweet.

you can live on much less too and be happy here.

you're pathetic. this is so not a laughing matter. this thread was started as a genuine request for help regarding safety in this city. i did suspect it to be a joke but discounted it because i thought that would be in really poor taste. oh well.

morocho would be a male, which i am assuming is what you meant. i am shocked and horrified by what you have told me. i am truly sorry this happened to you. have you reported this to the police? did you flag the car down on the side of the road or call from home? was it a firm you regularly...

IFMGA PLEASE DO NOT SCAREMONGER. reputable radio taxi/remis firms are the safest way for young and old females alike to travel around this city late at night. my grandfather is 82 and is the most fastidious and over cautious individual i have ever met, especially when it comes to safety/well...

trosman is fine but pretty expensive. not to say that some of my suggestions aren't pricey but they vary. i exported clothes from the BA fashion week about 5 years ago and know quite a lot about young independent designers on the scene. my personal favourites are the following: kukla, only...

yogs do individual pots of natural yoghurt, it's made with whole milk but it's great and not that high a fat content. i've been eating it with chopped banana and drizzled honey for breakfast recently. yummy!
