I actually just reserved a 24 month apt today - 2 bedrooms in belgrano, block from subte, 2200 per month plus 530 in expenses that includes gas, water, and phone. it has the 20% per year increase built in to the price after year one, but I found that to be standard with every realtor. This...

i used my chi here for a month or two, tried a bunch of transformers, and in the end gave up and bought an iron here. Its not a chi, but it works and i've gotten used to it. I used my chi while at my parents over christmas and it stopped working abruptly. it might be because I used it with...

gorgeous. hats off to you and your profiteroles.

"so is not really pizza (in our eyes)" ...is that not saying that its not really pizza in the eyes of an argentine?

I like making it fresh in a pot, and then putting queso rallado on it! soooo tasty. and yeah, the sugared variety is not for me. but lots of my friends in the US go batty over kettlecorn. And i do like popcorn thats coated in caramel. and i swear i'm not an idiot, they did not have it in...

I went to 4 chinos last night, and to a disco and a coto. I almost walked to the movie theater to try to buy some off them... so - maybe the chinos in your barrio have them, but around me it was zero luck :( is it surprising that they don't do microwave popcorn here?

Casa china in barrio china has a lot of dieteca-esque foods in it, and variety!

THANK YOU! sneaky - hiding popcorn.

I used to really like el malvon, but i have heard prices have gone up and quality has gone down. My little group of 5 expat friends used to brunch out every sunday but quality dropped while prices rose and it got to the point where we'd just meet in the park and everyone bring an item (bloody...

Gotta second the pizza guerin as the best pizza in BA guys. And as to the whole argentine arrogance issue - i don't think its as much arrogance as it is cultural homogeneity. Being from a city in the states, i don't have one conception of good pizza, steak, soup, sandwiches, etc. I have grown...

The unpopped kind. I'd rather the non microwave kind, but microwaveable would be cool too... Somewhere in barrio norte/palermo/belgrano? I glanced around barrio chino and didn't see it, but didn't search in depth.

jajajaja this is hysterical. I think the argentine diet is ridiculous. It lacks fiber, vitamins, common sense etc etc etc. I had to start taking a multivitamin when i got here because like, my finger nails started falling apart and my skin looked icky. I'm not saying the average american...

Thanks all - Yeah we have a good relationship - we've been friends for over a year, and are both pretty easy going, bill paying types of people. In the event that there's a problem we will work it out. My concern is mostly what role the guarantia plays in the breaking of a lease - I want to...

Don't go to asia. If you think these carts are big, you would be astounded.

Yeah - While I think the current government does take advantage of the dirty war by using it to gloss over other things, the atrocities that were committed aren't exactly minimal. They did some serious damage to this country's collective psyche. And they're STILL finding children who were...

Currently I live with my boyfriend and she with her grandparents. We are trying to move in together for at least a year, probably more. We don't want her grandparents to lose their property or face penalties, if that is the case we'll rent a stupid overpriced temp place. We are moving, and i...

Thank you guys! From what i've heard from other people, they also had a similar after the first 6 months, you don't lose anything type of lease. I'm cool with losing the 1 month rent security deposit - still cheaper than these terrible temporary places i've seen. I just want to make sure they...

hey everyone So my friend and I have been looking for about 2 weeks for a nice temporary rental thats a few blocks from santa fe/cabildo that has 2 bedrooms and is under 1000/month. We've basically found nothing but crap holes and its really disappointing. My friend is half argentine, and her...

Its those fake nails that are acrylics that they do with glue and powder in layers. I think in the US you'd call them a full set (or at least thats what my friends used to call them)

So I got back from a month in the states to learn that my tutor, whom i adored, got a job teaching at an institute :( I'm looking for a replacement who wants to teach me twice a week, two hours per class (4 hours per week). I want to meet in a coffee place in barrio norte or belgrano (near the...
