how much do you want for them?

Welcome to the frustrations of living in Buenos Aires. I think it's just a cultural thing and a lack of education about protecting the environtment as well as keeping it clean (not sure why there's such a disconnect on the latter... maybe it's a mob mentality thing). It reminds me of the US...

Glad to see nobody here is choosing the horrible Kill-Me-Please Quilmes ;)

AHansen, there's a ton of information on this website about getting residency, the work visa and the DNI. But you need a job before you can start the process unless you're able to qualify for one of the residency categories on your own (rentista, for example, by showing a passive income of...

I'm not saying it's real (though I lived with someone who was indeed crazy and swore by it) but the winds have coincided with the days a couple of times in my experience, and generally it does get nicer by mid-Sept.

Haha, "fantastic Colonia". I realize those two words + "international travel" fall within the parameters of reality, but for sure that's not what I think of when I think of "international travel at a bargain price" from BA...

Sadly the warm-up is a slow progression. You can expect to wait for the truly warm weather until November, but it'll start getting nicer by quite a bit in Sept sometime... there is a storm that come in early Sept every year with vicious winds (Santa something, can't remember the name at the...

Third. No more cold! Much less I just moved into a PH that is much more frigid than my last apartment, so am definitely feeling these cold days a lot more. BRR.

I'd like your copy of CheBoludo--what's the processto buy/pick-up?

I also have OSDE and recommend it, as it's one of the best programs available here. That said, it is also one of the more expensive, so if you're 36 or older I'd recommend checking into the other plans as there are some seriously diminishing returns. For what it's worth, I think that the rate...

Well, guys, I used my trusty internet skills and googled it. The answer I came up with for Argentina was probably "colchon de mapla". It seems a guess, but here's the Yahoo (yeah I know) thread that talked about it: http://es.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20101009135527AAWXray...

wow... not to mention, how horrible for the animals! What a joke.

I actually find the air very fresh after a rain storm, pretty much the only time! Then again, I don't live anywhere near the cat havens like Botanico or the Recoleta cemetary...

I love them.

There are tons of arts classes of literatlly any type you can hope for here. But the vast majority of them, of course, are in Spanish. Here's a list from a page I like: http://www.alternativateatral.com/servicios.asp There's also centro ricardo rojas: http://www.rojas.uba.ar/ have fun!

What everybody else says. So long as you're not fleeing with a tail of people looking for you for serious criminal offenses you can "disappear" here. But yes, its definitely a different set of problems.

Not to say that this bus driver wasn't kind or concerned, but it's my understanding that the reason that the driver will call out for seats for pregnant women or women with kids is because he's actually responsible if they sustain an injury during their ride on that particular bus, and can be...

absolutely no.

Although I, too, bought the book (used) and enjoyed parts of it, I disliked the air of dishonesty he perpetrated--such as his "win" at the martial arts championship. Felt a lot of his touted victories were shallow and based on cheats, but I guess it's a dog-eat-dog world. He does have some...

I had a good cut at Roho, but got bad color. I hate that it's so hard to make an appointment with a given stylist and they want to just give you to whoever is available (in general, in all the salons here). Getting a haircut here is like playing russian roulette... ok, maybe slight less dire...
