You could try Hush Puppies or Merrill good quality and supportive shoes. I have seen some Puma flats that were leather and very simple here in BA. This site allows you to search by brand to find store locations: www.portaldemarcas.com

Hi Alejandro, If you are interested in studying business I think UADE (Universidad Argentina de la Empresa) could be a good option. Something to consider is that even though UBA is free you will have significant housing costs and a degree at a private school will save you a whole year of...

The McDonalds is closed and under construction but I think the movie theater is still open at VIllage Recoleta

Best of luck with the business ! How much does it cost to do get airbrushed : ) ?

It´s not dirt cheap but you could try the outdoor store Montagne Outdoors, it is definitely a lot cheaper than going to a Columbia Sport, Patagonia, etc store here which are outrageously expensive. Here the link for their stores: http://www.montagneoutdoors.com.ar/locales.php#topee Go to the...

I went the student visa route to get residency. It was a simple numbers game --- spending 1000 USD towards a visa VS spending 1000 USD towards my education and getting residency (which opens the door to DNI). I took the school option and am doing a graduate program. The KEY part is that...

tinto -- Sorry I was not clear -- I am getting financial aid not merit based aid.

I am familiar with this company - it´s run by 2 expats (England - Ireland ... ie, "irish tom"). They will get you a DNI and pay your legal fees but if they fire you (and they fire a lot of people) before you have "worked off" your legal fee expenses they will ask you to reimburse part of it on...

You could try the Merrell in Alto Palermo for good quality shoes

Luddite, there is a group of foreigners going (students) that are planning to go on Saturday and spend the night if you´d like to join send me PM. The cost is 150 pesos for lodging, festival entrance and transportation. I was planning to go but I have to work on Saturday night : ( It looks...

I think Ryan is charging around 90 pesos for a cut which is quite expensive by Argentine standards but reasonable if willing to pay US prices while in Argentina. Going to a mid range salon seems to cost around 45-60 pesos for a cut but note that here they charge separately to wash, style, etc.

AmyMiranda - I go to the Universidad de San Andrés. The official arrancel for my program is 870 pesos a month but I got a 25% scholarship so its around 640 a month. For example you can do the grad programs at a place like UNSAM (Univ. Nac. de San Martin) and they should be cheaper than private...

Does anyone know of a dance school that offers non-tango classes. I am not really looking for ballet or modern but more like hip hop, dancehall, etc. I have googled it a bit and only find places in Caballito or Devoto -- I am looking for something in Palermo, Recoleta, Once, Centro, etc .... I...

The salvation army will come and pick up your donation. Check out the "Clasificados Solidarios" in La Nación newspaper. They feature offerings for services or goods as well as donation requests. The site is: http://clasificados.lanacion.com.ar/indexSolidarios.asp Pretty much every comedor...

I have never registered at la UBA for anything but I know that it is a bit chaotic and confusing to do. If you are taking Spanish classes for foreigners it should be much easier....what type of classes are you planning to take? I am currently in a graduate degree program at a private...

I write quite a few letters to family back home and I am running out of writing supplies.... Does anyone know of a stationary store or a place to buy note cards? I am missing the large selection of note cards (like art prints on cards) that I could find in the US in places like Barnes & Noble...

Check out the Outlets from Montagne chain. They are listed on their website: http://www.montagneoutdoors.com.ar/ It´s not dirt cheap but if you go to the outlets you will spend less. As far as second-hand stuff you could try the Salvation Army in Pompeya (Saenz 580) but I doubt you will find...

I think the best place to go would be Punta del Este in Uruguay. However, it can be very expensive. If you are going to go, book now! In Capital Federal I think your best bet is to meet up with friends for a house party. The clubs are packed on New Years in Cap Fed so prepare yourself for long...

Tez, Craiglist is the good source for this kind of stuff. Also check out the Salvation Army in Pompeya. Pompeya has many second-hand stores. Address: Avenida Sáenz 580, Capital Federal Hours: 9am-Noon, 2pm-6pm Suerte!

Krissy & Alexa -- I did the same thing! I graduated in June 08 and moved down to BA. I studied abroad here too during undergrad and loved it. I have been living here for about a year and a half now and I don´t have any plans of leaving soon. I am doing a graduate program and working. If you...
