I was a scientist before I became a high school teacher; therefore I had to go back for “teacher-training” classes, which I viewed as a joke. I had more science classes than any chemistry education major took in the States. I have taught in the inner city schools and Argentina private schools...

The way the US government is going with the printing machines, I bet the dollar will be lower in a year or two (being optimistic). A lot of other governments now want to make basket currencies. I think the best plan is to diversify if you can, gold, other bank notes, lands, guns, etc. There...

Where is the dark clothes coming from? I live in Olivos, hardly any expats, ..most of the women I see dress with pants/skirts (colors: white or brown) and colorful tops. (Casual style). Their hair is mostly styled and perfume seems to be the trend. I agree with Lix on the shoe comment. The...

Good one Steve.. I think it depends on how much money the custom official wants to make that day.

Lincoln is on American System New school year August-December Other schools either February-July or March-July (Fall term) Spring term is August/September-December. Some school just started last week. Most British Schools are in the Northern suburbs. Check the blog posts...

What are you a "bankster" or CEO of some company that needs a bailout?

Lincoln School is mostly American. British schools would be Northlands, St. Andrews, St. Georges, St. Johns. Did you check the other post on here http://baexpats.org/expat-life/3769-international-schools.html http://baexpats.org/links/international-schools-128/

That is a funny article. My hubby's company has been getting more resume from "lay-off" bankers. Maybe BA will turn into the next New York.

We have to go back to Chicago for business, but we can assist you. I sent you a PM.

Well said Steve! Ahora vamos beber un vino.

We got this one from an expat who has lived here four years. He is great. Dr. Norman Darling, Uriburu 1054, Piso 10, 4827 3187 He speaks English and is located in Recoleta. Right next to his office is a parking garage so getting there couldn’t be easier.

There is a train de la costa that leaves from Olivos. Tigre is touristy, but mostly Argentina people. If you do go during a Saturday make sure to go early. If you decide to take a boat tour, etc sometimes the last one leave at 14hr or 16 hrs depending on the time. There is a good place to...

Stan-I think Argentina could be the Brazil of South America. It has lots of assets both in it's people and resources. The only thing holding it back is governments like they currently have. Hopefully the people will wake up one day and demand better governance...

Soulskier-I like your analogy. Stanley...your link didn't mention Argentina and Argentina was downgraded from "emerging markets". See...they can only go up. I still would prefer to live here than the the States, because the sh*t hasn't hit the fan yet...but it is piling up. In South American...

My friends/family from the States keep asking me how Argentina is doing with the recession. I keep telling them we are not having massive layoffs like the States. Since most people use CASH there is not much of a credit issue. I keep them inform on the down turn in commodities and the drought...

I have used my drivers licence it tends to work fine, expect for the bank and post office there you need your passport (original). HYT-I have been hit by a car, bus, and bicyclist. I was in the crosswalk and had the walk sign. These were on separate occasions. I actually enjoy driving here...
