Hi Risu, I just sent you a message! Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi everyone! Safety is a topic that comes up on this forum from time to time, so I thought some of you might be interested to know about a class that my boyfriend is teaching in October. He will be teaching an introduction to Brazilian jiu jitsu, a style of martial arts that is particularly...

Love the list in this thread - I'm going back to visit next week and I can't wait to get my fill of everything I've been missing! Thin crust pizza, root beer, Dr. Pepper, fresh fish, berries, ice cream sandwiches...

I bought one at the Coto at Corrientes y Juan B Justo just last week. - Top House, in fact, because other products of theirs have been just fine for me (box fans, etc.) I'll keep my fingers crossed. I've used it many times already and so far no leaking, no problems at all. They had a couple of...

It's not exactly what you say you're looking for, but just to put it on your radar - I spent some time at Urban Station last year and really liked it. They just opened a second location in Microcentro within the last few months. http://argentina.enjoyurbanstation.com/es/ That being said, I'd...

What MizzMarr said. Give it time, you're brand new. I can tell you from experience: as you settle in and you all get to know each other, those things will come up naturally. Someone will suggest an after-office, or include you in going out to lunch, or you will feel more comfortable about...

A friend is one of the leading kettlebell guys in the city, internationally certified and runs classes and events throughout the year. He sells kettlebells - I'm not sure if they have rubber, but you should definitely contact him and ask. Here are his websites...

My boyfriend is Argentine and he mentioned yesterday that the bars will have to close at 12am this Saturday night. (So, when the clock strikes Sunday.)

Hi Nancy - I would love to volunteer for something like this! But San Pedro is too far for me, is there another location in Capital? (Or, within a reasonable distance via bus?) Thank you so much for spreading the word about this, I hope that others can help out!

Great thread!! Can't wait to hear about everyone's findings. :) I have found chocolate chips at larger grocery stores, like Coto, under the brand Aguila. Aguila makes other types of chocolate for baking, too, like semi-sweet chocolate bars and chocolate coating / bath / topping. I've also...

Hi Maria, It's not too late! I'll send you a private message with the details.

Take a look at Charles Schwab. I opened a brokerage and checking account with them over the phone and they charge me exactly 0 fees to withdraw my money anywhere in the world. No transaction fees, no conversion fees, and they also refund all ATM fees that other banks charge me. Plus their...

OK! Dollars it is. :) Thanks guys!

Thanks so far, guys. No complicated money management here. (Did I say anything about that?) What I am wondering is if the usual standby of convert-to-dollars is actually the best way to go, and I thought that the folks on this forum would have some experience with that issue. If anyone has...

When you're earning Argentine pesos and you want to save some of them by converting to a foreign currency, with the plan to spend them in the United States as US dollars at some point in the future, is it better to convert directly to US dollars or instead to convert to another currency like...

Yes, photos would be great!

I've had a lot of similar thoughts and struggles about this issue. Without meaning to hijack the thread, I'd be interested to know which groups in BA are working on what arlean described - helping them establish true independence, or at least to understand the roots of the problem in order to...

Hi guys! We've got a nice group forming and we still have room for 1-2 more people. So if you're interested in joining us, it's not too late! We'll be starting in a few weeks. Just drop me a note. :)

Whenever we've booked a room at a guesthouse or cabañas or hotel for a vacation outside the city, they've requested a portion of the payment upfront. Sometimes 50% and for really short stays, 100%. Like was already said, I think this is a way for them to have some insurance against last-minute...
