yes, which is why a friend of mine has a successful business based in BA recruiting argentine and other south americans to work in major british, aussie, irish and spanish accountancy firms. www.txtinternational.com bi-lingual argentine workers are in high demand and are usually better qualified...

the ones that look european like to drop it into conversation 'casually'. most argentines, however, don't look european at all particularly out of BA and even out of recoleta and palermo. but that's a different topic.

have a search through the forums, there are quite a few posts with detailed explanations of how to go about this (a couple of them by me-you could type 'realba' into the search part of this site and all my posts will come up). good luck.

http://www.macstation.com.ar/store/index.php be aware that everything related to apple (computers, ipods, any hardware) is double the price of europe and more than double the price of the US. same with pretty much all electronics in argentina.

the best seafood i found (at accessible prices, Ostramar is expensive) in the city is in the big asian supermarket in chinatown-not the small-ish one actually on arribenos but the one around the corner. it's really big and has by far the best selection of asian products as well. they stock...
