I couldn´t make it to the last one but could likely come on Friday. I have lived here for a year but have still never made it to one of these get togethers. I´m American, 24 years old, orginally from the Midwest. We could do Sugar Bar in Palermo. Drinks and pints are just 5 pesos so the price...

I am glad to hear that Kwelly is having a good experience with Voluntario Global however I know that a lot of the fee is not for the organization but rather it operates as a business. They work with tourism agencies and offer commission to sell the "volunteer packages" with the seller making...

JB - If you are under 30 years old I would highly recommend Un Techo para mi País for doing construction projects. Habitat for Humanity works mostly in Luján and earlier this year had monthly construction brigades but because of some funding problems it appears quite stalled. If you spanish is...

Does anyone know a fun place that does Karaoke regularly? Ideal place would not be exclusively tourists/expats but also offer a decent amount of songs in English. I have seen one place in front of the cemetary in Recoleta but I assume it would be expensive and full of tourists. Any...

Jessi - send me a private message if you´d like to discuss volunteering stuff. I am very connected to the non-profit community and currently doing a grad program in non-profit management so I can point you in the right direction! Suerte!

Check out Buenos Aires International Students (BAIS Argentina) They organize a ton of events, group travel to Iguazu, Bariloche, etc as well as nightlife, sporting events, trips to soccer games etc and its run by international students from all over the world (and a couple argentines too). the...

There is a church I know on Juncal and Coronel Diaz and every Monday night they distribute food and clothing to people living on the street. PM me if you want more information! The Salvation Army also accepts donations.

Try University Libraries. I study at a private university outside of Capital and I know that they have GRE, GMAT, and LSAT books for students to check out. SO, I bet you could have them photocopied. I think most private schools in Buenos Aires restrict access to their premises if you are not a...

This sounds great! I am going to try to make it! Thanks for organizing this.

I am looking to rent a large apartment -- whole piso would be great with at least 4 bedrooms. Neighborhood preference is for the classic expat barrios -- Palermo, Recoleta, San Telmo preferred. If anyone has any contacts of owner-direct places please post or PM me!

I am looking for "cortinas para riel" for my apartment. They are the old system of curtains with the little hooks that loop into the fabric folds and are then hung on a metal track. I went to Once and found places that will custom make them for me but its a bit expensive and not worth investing...

Note to all interested in this department -- They are charging 30% commision on top of rent -- ie 70 USD for 1 week ! This apartment is completely misrepresented as USD 250 per week! If the point of the forums is to advertise good deals among expats and give expats breaks on prices, etc then...

Hi, I would be interested in the apartment for Aug 3 - August 10 if it is still available. My mother and sister will be visiting from the States and I am currently looking for a place for them. PM me with more details please! Thanks!

I know the Academy of Recoleta, on Ayacucho 1571 - between Las Heras and Pacheco de Melo is offering Tango Classes.

It is easy to find some work teaching English but difficult to live off of English teaching alone. Wages are low (18 pesos per hour - 27ish in Institutes) and you have to travel a lot to find sufficient hours. Have a solid savings built up before arriving because it will be months before you can...

Hi Cameron, Welcome to BA! I also have no idea what Kettlebell training is but I do have a big group of guy friends that get together to play soccer and basketball and some of them play paddle and rugby. Send me a message and I can connect you to them if interested! Saludos!

I have found very cheap cheddar cheese at the Coto on French and Larrea in Recoleta. Its not like a block of cheese its more like single slices (ie Kraft Singles but not that gross) and you get it at the deli area but its perfect for sandwiches/burgers etc.
