    Hey everyone, I am a filmmaker...

    hey there, welcome. I'm also a filmmaker. (writer/producer) shot a feature in Bs As and in Salta, but that was in 2006 when things were just as beautiful, but a lot cheaper. Am here writing a script for our next project and would be interested in meeting up for a beer/coffee whatever also.

    Need a door person for Art Event (100ARG)

    i'm sure there are people who would take this job, but my first instinct is that 100 ARG seems very low pay for both expats or locals for the job.... you might want to consider raising that if you want someone actually capable and 'reliable'. either way good luck with the event.

    July- Independence day trivia

    ok..so I'm bored on this rainy 4th of july, but FYI: July is a busy month for Independence Days around the world. the ONLY logical conclusion is that we tend to have revolutions when our kids are on school vacations and are with us 24/7.... :) Burundi - July 1 Canada - July 1 Rwanda - July...

    Size of expat community?

    An expat comes to work and/or live with the intention of one day moving back to his/her home country (or somewhere else). An immigrant moves to another country with the intention of residing there permanently.

    Salary questions!

    perhaps if you indicated what field, what level of experience you have and even what someone would be getting in the UK for similar employment, we may be able to help you with our best guesses. but the info you supplied so far is too vague for even a guess...

    Am I a little nuts to choose BA? Help.

    I say go for it. Your adventure will be what you make of it. my only advice is to have enough money to give yourself a safety net so u can go a few months without work and fly home when you are ready. the $5000 USD may not be enough to give you the chance to enjoy 'being here' without feeling...
