Given my member name I hope I can get in on the game? Let me know if you have room for one more.

I'm 51, been in BA since January and also live very close to Botanico. Score. But I just returned to the states for a month. Bad timing. I'm terrible at initiating these things so would love to join you guys later in January. -- Mark

I'm thinking Sunday or Monday at the city course.

How does this work? Do all stores do it? I hadn't noticed there was a charge until I included a bottle of beer with just a few items. The 3 peso charge really stuck out. What do you do? Keep the receipt and then go back with the receipt and the bottle to get your 3 pesos back?

I have only witnessed it outdoors, usually in parks. So there I've never noticed the audible part. But I think it is a nice part of BA culture. I appreciate this opposing view to what is the norm is the states, i.e., the reverse of our prudish standard.

Napoleon, Thanks so much for this amusing explanation :-) It certainly fills in that dumbfounded blank I had of not only the stores, but the multitude of people that were swarming over the area. And yes, there was a Mardi Gras feeling to the paraphernalia - right down to the necklaces...

I finally made it over to Once to seek out my ultimate bean bag chair. Interesting neighborhood. I understand the market for fabric stores. But not the party stores with all the raw ingredients to make costumes. If anyone knows why there is such a market for those kinds of stores I'd be...

I'm hiring software engineers. Our office speaks English officially even though most people are local. We're looking for people who love work on the web. The skills are mostly PHP and database knowledge. Though there are other areas of expertise needed. Send me a private message if you...

You can be "snarky". The original question was snarky!

It is odd. I thought the original question was a bit haughty. Like this person was having a good afternoon, suddenly felt he found the answer to life and couldn't understand why everyone else is such a loser. What does he care what people do?

I'm a guy who has no interest in dating here but I can't wait to follow this. Ladies, please do tell ...

These broad statements classifying Argentinians one way or another are very naive. My life here is limited to the people I work with and my land lady. I haven't made an attempt to make friends outside of work because I'm so busy and I just happen to be a loner who enjoys my personal pursuits...

I'll be 51 tomorrow. There's a reason I don't have an avatar photo.

Yes. Ironically I had to go back home because sitting in a park the "fumes" were too much to bear. BTW, I've been here 6 months now. I was finally baptized yesterday. I stepped in my first pile of dog shit. It was bound to happen. When I finally go back to the states, despite all the...

You can also sell your stuff through http://www.olx.com.br A pure classifieds site. Craigslist doesn't really have the same following here as it does in the states. ML is for auctions.

I frequent this forum and see ex-pats looking for jobs where they can use their English speaking skills. I also work for this company but am not part of the department doing the hiring. Good luck. http://palermo.olx.com.ar/en/english-customer-care-olx-iid-100705659

Ever the conspiracy theorist I think this thread is a ruse to ferret out the illegals. (Sorry that was a joke).
