    Best Film of the year

    Which one would you vote for? I wouldn't doubt for a minute for Volver with Penelope and Almodovar, one of my favourite directors if not my favorite, Anyway I don't think it will get much of the attention of hollywoodland at the oscars, it doesn't fit under american standards. Hope to hear from...

    New Year's Eve

    Marlyn, The locals flee the city in January and Febraury (to the local beaches, Uruguay, to the countryside, or whatever you are able to afford), so you won't find any major party. If you are staying in Recoleta, you can have a good time in any of the hotels along Posadas , Four Seasons...

    argentine people are the worlds most stylish and beautiful people

    Syngirl Compared to the average american diet, Argentine's seems by far vegeterian don't you think so?. Just think, the average american starts its day on donuts and muffins and omelettes (How many calories have you already counted so far?), argentines on tostadas, we will not indulge on big...

    Amazon

    Fine, I've ordered with the american amazon several times and, it didn't take more than a week as long as you pay the extra fast delivery track, Books and Cds are not subject to custom fees in Argentina which makes all type of procedures ever lasting. (You want to deal as least as possible...

    hairstylists buenos aires

    My favourite is bcnpeluqueros.com or .com.ar- Barcelona Peluqueros Penia y Junin. Not cheap though, expect to pay $$$$$. But when it comes to hair color, one has to be cautious, the same with waxing. I once had my eyebrows waxed in the USA, and when I raised my regard I couldn't believe my...

    Favourite cities/Places to live

    for those of you who have lived abroad in different locations, where did you feel more at home, and which of them would you call home if you left your country for good?

    Buying online at an american retailer with a local credit card

    For all of those that don't know about lanbox, I wouldn't fully recommend it but in absence of other way, lanboxusa.com will ship door to door from USA to Buenos Aires. They will take care of taxes, duties, etc and charge you a shipping rate according to the weight of the merchandise (it's not...

    Casino Royale?

    It will be showing in a couple of weeks (check villagecinemas.com/proximosestrenos), I had read terrible critics of this film. The same applies to Liv Tyler's version of Marie Antoinette but here the critics were merciless. Among other things it was said that she reinvented french history giving...
