Sarita, I am sorry to tell you that Fraga and Dorrego is Chacarita, no Palermo. We live two blocks from there and we often walk to the restaurants in Palermo Hollywood but definitely is not Palermo. There is a tendency from railtors to call Palermo everything because that is where most people...

It is so sad to see that all world cities are starting to look alike. You have the same food chains and high street stores all over the world. When the first Starbucks opened in Paris, a lot of people thought it will not work. A few years later, there were around 40 Starbucks in Paris. Too bad...

Ok, angry man. Have a nice day.

So your macho attitude does not go well with the locals... what's the problem there? Try a waitress in Paris and see how it goes...

You do not need to play her down calling her a 15 years old. She is Argentine and she is learning English as she mentioned. So, yes her vocabulary is limited. If you knew a little bit more about Argentine culture, you would know that the word "odiar" (=hate) has different connotations and have...

the child cannot travel without a passport. in the 1980s children could travel on the mother's passport. not anymore. if the child is traveling with an Argentine passport, you will also need to prove in the check in that you are the legal parents of the child (birth certificate?)

Hi Luciana, Do not take things in this board personally. This is my second time living in Buenos Aires (with a ten years break in between) and I always have the love and hate relation with the place. I have shared both positive and negative experiences in this forum. I was an active member here...

On a different note... how do you feel about the economy? http://edition.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2013/davos/mood-map/index.html?hpt=hp_c1

Lucky you. In the "old" times when the dollar was 6.3, I got 7.5 for my euros, an implicit rate of 1.20 dollars per Euro when at that time the relationship was more 1.30.

I second others here. We stopped bringing euros because the rate was not as good as the one we could get for dollars. Change your euros for dollars abroad. Just do not do it at the airport where the spreads and commissions are a killer.

Thanks everyone for the contribution. Keep them coming. I have family coming to visit us from France and now I have a long list of places to visit with them. Things we have done and liked: Isla Martin Garcia: nice for a day trip. You enjoy the river and the big iguanas but you get eaten alive...

Seminar is in Room 212. Sorry for the mistake.

Sorry to hijack this post, but I think this is relevant if you would discuss the K's economy on Tuesday. For those interested in economics and politics in Latin America, Universidad de Buenos Aires (Av. Cordoba 2122) is organizing a seminar this coming Monday 22nd of October at 19:00hs (7pm)...

For those interested in economics and politics in Latin America, Universidad de Buenos Aires (Av. Cordoba 2122) is organizing a seminar this coming Monday 22nd of October at 19:00hs (7pm). The seminar will take place in the Salon de Usos Múltiples (SUM, 1st floor of old building). If you are...

We moved a year ago. We have two kids, 2 and 4. We are on a foreigner salary so the governing screwing the economy works somehow in our favor. We found living here at least challenging even though I was brought up here as an expat kid so I knew a little what was all this about. You can have a...

OK, I will pay you the beer (but it would be hard to find a good Ale in BA). It was not my intention to offend you just bad humor from my part. Coming back to topic, I have not heard anything from Angola but I have interviewed for my book one local company and they shared with me the experience...

We used Transfer Lubre 4671-0204 (Charcas 4554) and we got a Renault Kangoo: 2 adults, 2 children and 5 piece of luggage plus stroller.

I do not have much to contribute to this post but I would like to say that I find it very interesting and honest. Good luck to everyone.

Relax. I forgot the ;)))) I was kidding cause you have corrected my grammar many times (for what I was thankful) and you forgot a couple of verbs and other things in your post. No need to get aggressive the way you did. Peace.
