how much are these lessons?

Very helpful actually. Especially about the thai food stuff. Do you get the stir fry sauces at the barrio chino stores?

Haha too funny. Okay I didn't say I didn't know how to cook anything....just that I'm not a great cook. I can cook the basics like pasta, chicken, eggs (lol), pork chops.....but that's pretty much about it. And I have no creativity when it comes to food. I relied a lot on trader joe's too...

I am not a great cook. Basically trying to step my game up. But I'm really at a lost with where to begin since moving down here. Was just wondering if someone would be so kind to give me an idea of what you cook on a weekly basis? I know very general question but anything would help. I lean more...

Thanks for responding. I've been using tutorials on youtube and tried a few text ones. I just don't do well with text tutorials....there are certain questions that I have that can't be learned. Youtube is a little better but not much. I can see that I would do better by watching someone in...

I'm looking for someone that is very familiar with CS4. Or at least familiar enough to be able to teach me how to use it well. Specifically I am looking for some of the following skills: general touch up of photos;correcting for exposure, color, etc; skin softening; teeth whitening; blemish...

PM means private message. There is a way to turn it on within your profile, though I'm not sure how.

Hi, I too am looking for folks to hang out with and it just so happens I like to listen to that kind of live music too. Dancing to samba, however, is a completely different story. I can recommend someone for Portuguese, though I'm also thinking of taking a course at the university. Not sure...

Okay, Technically I'm not a newcomer perse but since most of my tight knit circle of friends have left Buenos Aires in the last few months and the fact that I was gone for a few months, I'm looking to hang out with new people from wherever. Also I just found a place and chose to room with older...

In the exact same boat. I think I was extremely lucky when I came in June and it helped that it was probably around the time when all the students were leaving. I struck gold after my second house visit. This time not going so great. Less rooms are available, Argentines seem to be charging more...

I like how you've extrapolated from someone's coffee shop preference what kind of person they are, the kind of experience you presume they are looking for, presuming that they haven't tried other coffee shops in the city (which yes, are by and large pretty bad, with a few gems mixed in), and...

I just cleared security and the Continental ticket counter with no mention of onward travel at LAX. I did electronic check-in at one of the kiosk. The only thing that was asked for was a scanning of my passport. I don't anticipate any problems at customs in EZE but you never know. If there are...

I will be flying tomorrow with Continental. I will also let everyone know how it goes. I don't intend on buying a one way back to the US for the moment. I plan on citing the page that someone listed from the IATA's Timatic if I run into any problems. It clearly says "recommend" and nothing about...

I know this comes up a lot but just wondering if anyone has had any personal experiences or problems with Continental Airlines with a one way ticket. Technically, my ticket is a roundtrip ticket but the "return" is actually back to BA. When I flew with Avianca to BA they never asked me anything...

I think you pretty much hit it on the head. And I agree with pretty much everything you've said. For instance, for surgeries and such there is no question that I trust the US system over the Argentine one. However one really must qualify the sentence I've highlighted in bold. For those with good...

Actually it really isn't that complicated of an issue at all. The reality is this: A) If you are middle-class to very wealthy health care reform isn't an issue for you. Why? Because Americans in this tax bracket are by and large able to afford private insurance or get insurance through their...

While it is true you will have many more options in Brazil, ie tutors that speak English, you will also pay for it. Lessons whether private or group are typically quadruple what you will pay in BsAs. And I'm not exaggerating. If you go to the major cities you are looking at no less than...

If you have the money get a lawyer. But I am curious, since you were with "friends" where the hell were they? If my friend took a glass bottle to the head at a bar, I can assure I would have demanded the police be called at the very least. I can't imagine that there are no repercussions against...

FYI TO ALL If your laptop computer was made in Japan—for instance—you might have to pay duty on it each time you bring it back into the United States, unless you could prove that you owned it before you left on your trip. Documents that fully describe the item—such as sales receipts, insurance...

Yes that is exactly who I went to for private lessons. I took lessons with the owner of the company....her name escapes me. But very nice. She even brought in typical Brazilian snacks for class.
