    Text messaging

    Trixie, The 15 number is wrong. The 9 - 11 one should work but maybe ONLY for VOICE CALLS. The system is probably expecting only the local number, as fed from any cell-phone here: i.e.: 54-11-XXXX-XXXX You MAY need to add a PLUS SIGN + in FRONT of the 54. (FIRST try without it) Try...

    Looking for a place outside of the Capital

    Back to the original subject, why don´t U come out to the ´burbs and check them out? I live in Martinez only 1 block from the train station. I can tell you, I can get downtown faster than people in Belgrano or even Palermo in rush hour!! Better yet, is the cleaner and cooler air, nicer streets...

    New to bA from NYC

    I also came from NYC to BA but several years ago, so I can give proven tips to anyone in need. I´ve been waiting to see the date for the next dinner since I missed the January one but no news yet. I live in the northern suburbs where its much nicer to spend the summer months than in the city...

    Buenos Aires to Montevideo return

    You can check the rates for the "puente aereo". This air-bridge is similar to others between large cities such as Miami-Orlando, Washington-New York, etc. There are several daily flights at roughly every hour or so. At some points in time, the air-fare can be comparable to Buquebus, and now may...

    Any dinner for expats on Xmas Eve?

    I though I saw a post where some expat offered to host a dinner for a group of tourists-expats for Christmas Eve but now I can`t find it here. Was it cancelled or did I just read wrong? Hope someone can clear this up. Or let me know if you found any restaurant, pub that may be open, better if it...

    Dinner at Elvira Hancock

    Yes I want to go. Unfortunately I already had something else to do at the same time. These dinners usually are on Thursdays or Fridays which would have been better, since most other things are Mon-Weds. Now I have to juggle things around. Hope I can make it to see you there.

    what can a single gal to do over Christmas?

    Did I miss Nov dinner also? When is next dinner please?

    I missed the dinners in September and October since I was under the weather both times. But what happened in November? Is anyone willing to gather soon before the end-of-the-year crush? How about the venue? I suggest returning to whichever restaurant had the best post-event comments, to make...

    Christmas in BsAs

    For X-mas lunch it should be like a fairly normal holiday, but Christmas Eve is actually Argentina´s most important holiday, similar to Thanksgiving in the US where virtually EVERYBODY goes home for dinner with the family. ALL malls, and virtually all restaurants close down for the evening...

    Best Brand of Cottage Cheese in Buenos Aires

    The best (and worst, because it´s the ONLY one) is called MENDINET, now owned by Nestle. It´s the same brand as Mendicrim, but to be honest I´m not sure if it is still around. For me it´s a little on the expensive side, being they have had absolutely NO COMPETITION AT ALL, for its roughly 20...

    thanksgiving

    There is a yearly luncheon at the American Club, Viamonte 1177. You should find their phone number and call well in advance to reserve, since it always sells out. It starts 12 noon sharp with cocktails, (not included in your ticket). Then the traditional turkey dinner, but sometimes the stuffing...

    One way ticket from Scotland

    Everytime I asked about a one-way ticket, I was always told that it costs the same as a round trip ticket (between USA and Argentina), The one-way is actually MORE EXPENSIVE than many round trips, since it´s the equivalent of "open for 1 year" I think, and you can get much cheaper round-trip...

    Smoking Ban Update

    As a gesture of support to the owners and employees of smaller bars and cafes that are complying with the ban, may I respectfully suggest we non-smokers show our approval and satisfaction by showing up more often, maybe consuming more, staying longer, tipping more and thanking them for their...
