I am sure that CasaBar on Rodriguez Pena off Santa Fe will show it, as will the Alamo nearby. I also bet that ESPN shows it down here, there are enough American football fans in the country make it worth their while.

Twowheels - cool idea! You seem like a legit dude and I wish you the best of luck. I'll keep you in mind when my friend comes into town and I don't want to do the typical tour guide stuff again. You might also consider sending your site to this woman: http://www.batravelguide.com/

Jajaja Bradly when did you get so jaded? Don't listen to him, he's just bitter about his own disastrous lease situation. He's right though, you won't find a two bedroom for 500 USD. However, if you're willing to share with other roommates it should be relatively easy to find a place for $250...

Actually Spain did this in 2004 and possibly again since then, and I've heard of similar things in other European nations, especially ones with a significant elderly population. If a country isn't producing enough babies to keep the young population in step with the old, immigration is...

Is it possible to relocate your mother to where you live currently? If the only thing that is really drawing you back to Argentina is your mom, it might be worth it to try to talk her into retiring in another country where you can care for her.

If you don't get any bites here, I suggest calling or even stopping by a few hostels - their shelves are always filled with travel books left behind by tourists. It's usually a book exchange so you can either bring 2 books of your own to leave behind or offer some $ to the person working...

Syngirl, I only have 30 FB friends - like I said before I sort of hate it and only gave in to peer pressure and to find out what my local friends are up to - and unfortunately the main instigator IS a friend, so it's a little more complicated for me to figure out how I want to react and move...

Welcome Keely and family, There are many closed-door restaurants in BsAs that have a fair level of success once they're known. The two big issues are 1) getting yourself known and 2) offering something people want. If your husband can prepare meals that we can't get in restaurants here -...

I will admit to being a very reluctant Facebook user, and only among my Argentinean friends, but today's series of hideously racist posts by people I consider friends/people I know and like/their friends is making me rethink this crossover to the dark side of social networking (not to mention...

It's hilariously, knee-slappingly entertaining until you realize... it's all actually happening and half the country adores her but more importantly, listens to her.

For people in the Congreso area, my favorite is called Inka Si Señor on B Mitre with Ayacucho. They just remodeled but it's still cheap and delicious and always full of Peruvian clientele which I think is a good sign. Their bathroom is gross but most of them are so I don't generally count that...

Dumb question alert: if I overstay my visa by more than 90 days, do I get charged the overstay fee twice upon exiting? Just trying to cover my bases here. And to everyone who thinks we should all be law-abiding citizens (a group I am 98% of the time a part of), sorry, I am probably going to...

As I type this Fernet is grooming on my lap and occasionally swatting, good naturedly, at my arm. He is a very sweet and super active kitten who loves to play and subsequently nap anywhere you are. Our biggest challenge is the kitchen but he has already figured out what's allowed and what is...

Any updated information on what the overstay fee is these days? I believe it used to be $300 pesos but someone mentioned in a thread at some point that it might be going up. My current visa expires in February and since I don't plan on leaving Argentina until I go back to the states I'm...

iStar, I think you can reasonably chalk at least some of those up to vacation. Lots of places close their doors for a few weeks in January or February, and some even close for the whole summer.

Except it IS extremely hard to get here, Maikito. It's easier to get good acid (a drug that has virtually disappeared from the Seattle scene, try though my friends do to find it) than good weed. I gave a porteño friend 100 pesos and 6 weeks later he was finally able to make a connection and...

JP - I totally agree. When I was robbed and started yelling everyone ignored me and I was really frustrated by that reaction since I'm the kind of person to get involved, run after the guy, etc - not the safest reaction but it's ingrained. BUT when there is no perceived element of danger there...

Gabriela, this is a decision that only you can make. You should very seriously consider whether you are happier where you are now than you would be if you came back to your native country. If you are in a position to keep a good job, a group of friends, and a life you like, don't fall for the...

Allium, the onion flower, is quite similar to Agapanthus and grows better in some U.S. climates. There are tons of varieties, here is a link to one of them: http://www.easytogrowbulbs.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=931
