I'm sorry but 46 pesos for 5 pancakes plus 10 peso more for maple syrup is not a realistic breakfast option, even in BA. This is not a four star restaurant, you can do better with less money.

Almost 5 years here as well, in July.

I give between 5 to 8 pesos, depending on how much stuff I buy. They have to bring it up a flight of stairs to my apartment.

Asshole is finally dead, he killed 3 of my friends on 9/11. Rot in hell...

I lost my passport in Amsterdam. I got a new US passport in one day at the US Consulate. They will charge you but if you don't have the money you can pay them later. Go to the US consulate here and ask, I think you will need get photos made first. It should be easy or at least it was for me.

You should be able to find a furnished studio in Barrie Norte for that price. I saw a couple for rent last month. I will ask around and PM you tomorrow.

I have had similar problem, try the farmaci across the street from Alto Palermo on Sante Fe going towards Bulnes. They will have it or tell you where to get it. I don't know the name of the store but only a couple famacies on the block. They will give you a dirty look but they will fill it.

I need to replace a broken glass coffee pot. Where can you buy replacements? I have a graveyard of old coffee machines, Phillips, Black & Decker, Electrolux, etc., all with broken coffee pots. I found one place, but they only sell Braum brand coffee pots. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Wow, people actually carry fake or false wallets here? Seems a little excessive...

I took the bus with my mom last year and stayed on the whole trip, two hours almost to the minute from Florida stop to Florida stop. Actually really worth the 50 pesos. (at the time) Ride on top but beware of tree branches hitting you in the head.

After around 1 or 2 AM, you will start to see taxis and buses again. On the 25th you should not have any problems finding taxis. Not much going on though, some cafes in tourist areas will be open even early in the morning. Other than the discos and clubs not much else open.

I am a vegetarian, so not ham in my case, but also have very bad allergic reactions, however the doctors have not been able to pin it down to what. I am still taking allergy tests. I am in my 40s and never had allergies before coming here, only recently too, I have been here for three years.

Brazil has much worse pizza than anywhere I have been. In Rio they hand you a bottle of ketchup (or mustard) to pour over the cracker crust with a dusting of bland cheese melted on top. The locals seem to love it. Vile stuff.

I bought a dining room table on Craigslist, then sold an old iPod. Had no problems. However it is not as popular as in the states.

You can get a bank account at HSBC without a DNI, you just need a AR Tax ID which is easy to get. You may have to remind HSBC about their own rules posted on their own website about account requirements, but after some time, they came around to opening an account for me. Now that I have a...

Sorry they have an English section that explains the classes and when they begin, August 16th in fact, registration starts Monday the 9th. This is in English. It worked for me at least.... http://www.idiomas.filo.uba.ar/mapa/lab/espanol.htm

UBA has good classes and they are fairly reasonable. They start with Level 0, which assumes no knowledge of Spanish. Classes are fun and others students to practice with. They start very soon too. http://www.idiomas.filo.uba.ar/extranjeros/ingles/cursos/regulares.htm
