You want to contact Owen Kelly: [email protected] He is fantastic and incredibly professional. He is well known on this forum, so just do a search of his name if you want more info. Really highly recommend him!

With all due respect and absolutely no sarcasm intended, you can't have done that much research about the current situation in Argentina and particularly in the city of Buenos Aires. You need to spend some time reading about what is going on right now in politics and economics in Argentina...

Just in case you are waiting for a response I wanted to let you know that I didn't get any PMs from you...

I can't find a way to send private messages to the Newcomers, so oh well for privacy. If you are interested in the bike I posted write to: [email protected]

I can't send you a private message for some reason, but I have a friend who is selling her bike. Here is her description. Let me know if you are interested: I have a 18'' GT hybrid that I bought about 4 months ago used. It is in excellent condition (my guess is that it is probably about 8...

I want to recommend a lovely lady for cleaning. Her name is Diana, and while my maid has been on vacation she has been helping me out at home. She has also worked for a friend for quite a while, so I feel very comfortable recommending her. She is diligent and detailed in her work as well as...

http://www.stamboulian.com.ar/vacunacion.aspx?idContenido=108 "Dr. Stamboulian" is is supposed to have the best quality vaccines. It is the only place my pediatrician recommends. They have a few locations. You can call ahead to find out the price for MMR.

Is it too much to hope that they have pedicure chairs with water tubs where they scrape dry skin and give massages...??? I'd happily pay for that!

Has anyone been to Queenies in Palermos for a pedicure? How was the experience?

I need to hire a translator to translate several recommendation forms for my son's school in the States and then to translate the responses.

I had a respectable croissant at the cafe at the MALBA. I was pleasantly surprised. That is fairly close to Plaza Alemania.

I was just wondering the same thing...

There are so many places to learn English in BA. Which schools/institutes have a good reputation, and which are infamous? Also, how is Berlitz?

Oooo, yuck! Good luck with the husband--insist as much as you can and trust your instincts that the apartment isn't working! Reinstate your normal routine from home--the one before the 5 weeks of travel as best you can, or instate a new routine. But get a routine. The little guys just need...

There was a rumor that Falabella and Easy would also be closing due to import issues. Any truth to that?

My 9 year old son is a bilingual Spanish/English native speaker. However, he attends a Spanish speaking school, and is behind a bit on his written English (writing, grammar, spelling). With a view toward preparing him to return to an English speaking country/school system at some point within...

Again, the larger point was not that McD is great food, but that what is available in BA is so shockingly dismal that it makes McD a bright spot. It is one thing to have to adapt yourself to the food in Paris...and quite another thing to do that here.

Exactly BASailor, SOME places, SOME barrios...you just need to know. Thank you for making my point. The Argentine beef culture sells it as if every bite of beef you have on any BA corner will be THAT magical beef. Truth is, nada que ver. And all the "campo" in everything from chicken to beef...

Agree--no 5 a sec... A lady who works with the costumes at the Colon recommended Kobe to me for dry-cleaning. They are about 5 store fronts in from the corner of French and Pueyrredon across the street from the big Coto. They've done a great job with whatever I've taken to them.

The thing about the world renowned Argentine beef these days is that it is practically a myth. Cows aren't grass fed anymore so much as grain fed or worse (makes a difference), and they are in stalls rather than roaming. The "first cut" quality goes to export, "second cut" to well placed...
