    waxing (different types) / laser

    I also have gone to the DEPILACIÓN + place on Santa Fe. It is way cheaper than the one I used to go to (Thiara, on Las Heras and Junin) and was really fast. They have a ton of rooms. Maybe it was just the girl that did me but I think they were a bit messier than Thiara, I ended up with more...

    Superclasico: Boca vs. River

    I would not recommend buying on Mercadolibre.com -- Many foreigners have been sold fake tickets or just generally get ripped off. There are many "agencies" that resell tickets, they will often provide a "tour" which includes the ticket as well as a guide that will take you. I recently talked to...

    Chili Powder

    I live in Recoleta and I have purchased the ají or ají molido from the Bolivian women that sell veggies on the street and have found it to be decently spicy. The same women also have chiles!!! Just ask them for the most picante thing they have.

    At home in Argentina?

    I definitely don´t feel like I am Argentine...but when I hang out with large groups of Foreigners, I sometimes feel less like them than Argentines -- I guess it has to do with being adapted somewhat to Argentine cultures, having more of a "es lo que hay" view, and being a bit more flexible and...

    Can you get US Dollars from ATMs?

    I felt like there were forums on this but I did a search and didn´t find anything.... Question is very simple, are there ATMs that actually can give you $$ in US dollars? I thought maybe I heard once that the Citibank downtown did give them...if anyone can confirm this that´d be great. Thanks!!

    Working at a Ski Resort?????

    I think the key question is who do you know... I worked in Pinamar during the high season for a few weeks last year and the only way to get those jobs is via connections. I know a young couple (Argentines) that are semi-nomatic and work the winters at Las Leñas and then the summers in the...

    Aveda

    I would start calling high end salons and asking because I have seen many imported hair products here but mostly in the salons (not grocery store or pharmacy). I see a lot of Loreal products but just the other day I saw a tigi/bed head salon. If you´re looking for more natural hair products I...
