You're welcome! In general terms I feel that Caballito is a safe neighborhood, and I walk around by myself all the time and never had any issues, but usually during daytime. To be cautious, I always use the large avenues and crowded streets and avoid solitary or dark streets (although always...

I don't have kids so I cannot make any contributions to the talk in that sense, but I live near Caballito so I can tell you that you have some really nice parks there, such as Parque Rivadavia, Parque Centenario and Parque Chacabuco (depending on what area of Caballito you will be living in)...

I don't know if I'm too late for suggestions here, but if you want to check out a large selection in only one store, you can try Falabella on Florida St. They carry some renowned brands as well as some not-at-all-famous ones that may have simple jeans models like you want, so you will have many...

It's a little hard to find yoga mats here. I bought mine through mercadolibre (and picked it up at a sports store near Parque Centenario, on Ave. Angel Gallardo). Also, the gym Megatlon has sports stores in most of its branches, and you can find yoga mats in most of them (I think the brand they...

I'm afraid it is not stupidity but that you were not given appropriate advice by someone who actually knew how things work. Any international issue involving paperwork in any country works the same way. Anytime you need to prove something that happened somewhere else, all the red tape is...

Unfortunately I don't know any divorce lawyers, but yes, you definitely need a lawyer to get divorced here. In general terms, you first have to go through a mandatory conciliation proceeding with a private mediator (which also requires a lawyer for the parties), and only if that fails can you go...

Hi DeziBee! I really don't know if it's easy to find organized knitting classes here, but I do know there are informal classes or weekly gatherings at the stores selling knitting supplies, where ladies get together to knit in group. Usually, if you buy your supplies there, they will let you...

This is a girly comment, but if you are picky with your cosmetics and personal care products or if you are very specific about the brands that you like, bring as many as you can. You will find the major brands here (chanel, givenchy, clinique, vichy, biotherm, etc), but the prices will likely be...

Hi! For electrolysis you can look up Java Jeiman, she is an aesthetician and has a beauty center in Caballito, right in front of Parque Centenario. FYI, I called once to inquire about electrolysis a few years ago and they told me that they perform it only in small areas (like, not your legs)...

Guys, please note that according to the new law of "empleados de casas particulares" (26,844), all people working as maids/housekeepers in private homes are subject to the law, no matter how many hours a week they work. Therefore, your maid is entitled to the rights set forth in the law...

Hi rebeccag! I'm a single gal, in my 30s and also a lawyer. If you ever want to hang out let me know! Also, if you are going to be in the city, there are tons of social and cultural activities that you can do and meet locals. Don't be bummed by all the couples... there are singles too and we...

If you are in the city, everything is open on the 24th and the 31st (mostly till 6 or 7 pm except for restaurants), and then pretty much everything is closed on the 25th and Jan 1st. The rest of the days everything is open normally, maybe even longer hours on the 23rd for Xmas shopping.

Hi ElizabethS! All gyms in Buenos Aires city are required by law to ask you to submit a doctor's note saying you are fit to work out, and the note is valid for one year. All big gyms are going to ask you for one, but maybe if you try a small "barrio" one they'll be more linient. In all public...

Oh my god... Arg women are like this, like that... seriously people? There are 40 million people here, let's say 20 something billion women... don't you think it's a little simple minded to categorize all the women in the whole country under a label? There are tons of women in their 20s and 30s...

If anyone's interested in non-cow milk (goat, almonds, etc) you can find a few brands at Casa China in barrio Chino, but they're quite pricey though.

Hi ladies, I recommend Walter Acevedo at Santa Fe and Uriburu. He's super nice and extremely talented. Great with cuts and coloring, and the price is totally reasonable.

For salad dressings you can try casa china at Arribenos and Mendoza, and places like Kalimnos where they sell cold cuts, cheese and stuff like that. Folks here are usually ok with just oil and vinegar on their salads, that´s why you won´t find many options at bars and restaurants.
