    I really like a place in Once called Feylo. They are on Azcuenaga 35. They have a ton of various crafting supplies, and the staff is very helpful. Everything is cheaper in Once = ) Have you seen this thread?

There is an organization here called Un Techo Para Mi Pais (A Roof for My Country) and they are very simmilar to Habitat for Humanity. They do weekend build projects. You have to go...

    GTKFE: What brought you to Argentina?

    I originally moved here because my boyfriend had to follow work. The adventure of it, and the allure of the culture made me say yes. Since then I have started my business and I am still loving this city. I guess I have most of the answers covered ; )

    American hair dresser from San Francisco

    I think if you get a bad haircut it is because you have not told the stylist exactly what you want. It is difficult for some non native speakers to articulate exactly what they want, and unfortunately stylists cannot read minds. By removing that language barrier you lessen the margin of error...

    has anyone eaten at Kansas or Patagonia Sur

    I liked Kansas, but I found it to be really expensive. I did find an amazing BBQ place outside the city in a town called Adrogué which you can reach by train. I posted about it in this forum here.

    Crafty People?

    I would definitely be up for a craft day! I organized a 'stitch and bitch' a while back, and we had a blast; although it was only like 3 girls and they have since left town. I'm sure we could find more people. I recently learned a craft where you make a hanging planter out of a recycled...

    Where to buy Essential Oil?

    There is a place on Corrientes near Callao. It is a book store, but looks very upscale hippie from the outside. I cant remember the name of it exactly, but it is in English and I believe it is something about natural or naturally. They have real essential oils although they are expensive...

    Licensed Massage Therapist living in Buenos Aires

    I have hesitated to post my rates as the economic situation in Argentina prevents them from staying as stable as I would like, and I cannot guarantee the price will be the same 6 months from now. Although I am sure this post will still be here. I will be happy to send a PM with current rates.

    Peruvian restaurants

    I believe you are talking about Mochica which is right next to the the Abasto mall on 520 Aguero . I would not consider them cheap, but they are delicious.
