I'm dying to know..:)

The only 2 I know are DNI - ID card and proof of existence/residence, and AFIP -the tax authorities. Good luck with the others. Oh..and SOS here means S**t On Sidewalk (beware) ;)

Absolutely

In the end I suppose common sense will keep you out of the bathroom. Check the date..take a good look..have a sniff..

Bulls**t. That might have been true years back, but students/schools are getting smarter and more demanding now. There are plenty of qualified teachers around. Why pay more for someone who's unqualified? Being a 'badass' won't get you anywhere.

My students tonight were telling me not to buy frozen or chilled food in--let's say certain 'ethnic' shops because they turn the freezers/chillers off at night! I've been buying such food from a great 'ethnic' shop for 3 months now and am still alive (I think). Has anyone else heard of this...

Hard to say. They might still pay peanuts, but a decent school will pay around 40-50 pesos per hour.

English teachers need to be qualified. It's possible to get a job without qualifications, but the institute will pay you about the same as they pay their cleaner. Living solo in this situation will be nigh on impossible.

It's not an essay, but it's inconclusive. It doesn't even say whether you're here or not yet. Personally I don't think you stand a snowball's chance in hell of getting a bar or hotel job. If you have independent means, come here and enjoy yourself, but if you need to find work soon as, best not...

You won't be so pleased about that if your credit card is stolen..

Worst thing you can say to ANY woman surely?

Hi Maryeliza. I'm an English teacher too and have been teaching here for 3 months now, although I also taught for 5 years in Barcelona. I've been a DoS, written materials and so on. I'd love to get a group of teachers together to share ideas. As for tips for now, I'd recommend...

Hi Monik and Nancy, the group I was talking about is 40+ Gary

What about British pounds? Anyone know?

Hi Diana There's a small group of us that go out on Sundays and you're very welcome to join us. This Sunday we're probably going to Colonia (Uruguay) but not sure yet. If not it could be Tigre. We could always just meet for a coffee somewhere first if you prefer. Gary

Sorry trotsky but I have to do this: What happened when a man parked his car in a rough part of town with two accordions on the back seat, forgetting to lock the back door? When he returned, there were three accordions. And..What's the definition of an optimist? An accordion player with a...

Sorry to hear your news. I separated from my wife 11 years ago and although I'll never again love anyone the way I loved her, it's been a great eleven years full of adventure. I agree with Supercharged, let's have a drink when you get here. I wish you all the best in BsAs.

When I arrived in March I used the Tienda Leon bus and for a small extra charge which I paid at booking, they took me to my apartment in a van.

The ATM will give you pesos. I've lived here 10 weeks now and have only ever used pesos. Your rent deal may be in USD though. I live alone and spend about AR$80 per day in the supermarket and live comfortably. In bars coffee: 15 pesos and beer about 20, although of course it depends where you go.

I've only been in BsAs for 2 months but nothing has happened to me yet. I lived in Barcelona for 5 years and was robbed three times, and most of what was described in the Lonely Planet article could have happened there too. Looking back on the three times I was robbed in Barcelona, I realise...
