I really miss being outside! Does anyone know of places near BA that you can do day hikes and camp? I don´t have the time or money right now to do some big trek but I would be very interested in a weekend excursion...

I have been to Spanglish and I can definitely recommend it - -it´s a fun, unpretentious way to get speaking Spanish and start meeting people. Try it!

Hi all, Does anyone know of any BIG Halloween parties in BA this year? I know about the Cacho de Fiesta one in Puerto Madero but that´s it ... I am looking for a party that will be big -- ie, not just in a bar that fills up really fast (ie, not Sugar). Thank you!

Go into the Jerky Business! I will have a good customer for you.. my boyfriend is Argentine and his favorite thing that I bring back from the US is the Beef Jerky. According to him there is nothing in the local market in BA that is similar...

Do you like to play sports?? I have friends in BA (Argentines and foreigners) from all over the world that get together every week to play soccer as well as Basketball. I think that could be a good way to stay active and meet people. Send me a Private Message and I will get you in touch with the...

There is also LeShop http://www.leshop.com.ar/ Suerte!

Cassie -- can you PM me your contact details. I am looking for a graphic designer but you don´t have your PM feature enabled. Gracias!

Hi All, I live in BA but my family has a business in the US and is looking to hire a different company to manage and redesign their website. As they are shopping around I thought it might be interesting to consider outsourcing to BA. I know there are many expats that do this free lance or...

I would not recommend buying tickets the day of the game for Boca - River ... big rip off waiting to happen ... people definitely do it though. Just got your PM leftcoaster and I will reply to you right now. My same friend that has the tickets for Arg-Peru has Boca-River "Popular" for 180 pesos.

Hi all -- My friend is selling tickets for Platea for 200 pesos. I went with him to the Boca-River game, paying in pesos, all totally legit last year. PM me if you want more info! Suerte!

I am not sure how much it costs, probably is expensive considering how nice it is but have you heard about Area Tres -- it´s a co-working space in which US expat Martin Frankel is co-owner. http://areatresworkplace.com/

Hi all, Kwelly -- I think we may have exchanged messages a while back when you had questions about accrediation of programs in the US (which is hard to find here!). If you have questions about the paperwork let me know. I am a grad student at the Universidad de San Andrés and did the...

Another question -- If you are a foreigner and have a DNI will that suffice in order to go to neighboring countries like Brazil? I am getting my DNI in 40 dias hábiles (fingers crossed!) and I am curious to know if my DNI would be valid for neighboring countries as well or if it will indicate...

Mala Onda!!! I went to Sugar and nobody showed up!

I have never actually eaten there but Amaranta on Junin between Las Heras and Pacheco de Melo offers brunch with American fare, bagels, muffins, etc

Sounds good! See you all tonight! Eden-Tree -- why don´t you take the Subway on your way to Sugar and get of at Plaza Italia and just walk -- it´s only 6 or 7 blocks and then take the bus home. I can explain to you how to get back for just 1.20 ! Once you live here for a while you will find...

I would also suggest the The Fix Shoe place in Recoleta. I saw they have a huge sticker in their window saying that Tapitas are just 10 pesos (the rubber tip for heels).

I went last year with a big group in charter buses and we all stayed at the same hotel. I would recommend this type of travel if you just want to go for the weekend -- do the ´fest and come back. The trip was really fun!! Note: Many people embark to Oktoberfest without sufficient planning in a...

I think this will be very hard to find at an institute. Imagine being in the US and asking an English school to teach you in a British accent ! My suggestion would be to take private lessons from a Colombian, Ecuadorian or Mexican private teacher which would give you the classic Tu instead of...

A&A -- send me a PM and I can provide you with the details for the attorney that I am using to get my DNI with a "turno preferencial" which speeds up the process immensely. They speak great English. Suerte!
