These are great tips. Thanks, everyone. :) I had no idea about the fireworks! That's so exciting! I'm looking forward to that. Any place or neighborhood that's particularly good to go for that? Or do people just go out into the streets and I could see it in any neighborhood, if I wander around...

Thanks, syngirl. You've been very helpful. I totally hear you about the movie theaters and Chinese restaurants! I didn't want to assume that the same would be true here and after seeing your response, I'm glad that I asked. I will make sure to have all my grocery shopping done so that I'm not...

Quick question that none of my porteno friends seem to be able to answer because they always leave town to visit their families on the holidays: for those of us staying in Capital Federal, what will be open on Christmas Eve / Day and New Year's Eve / Day? Groceries? Movie Theaters? For...

Thanks so much, Blondie! I did go today and my experience was similar to yours, just a couple of hours later. Thanks to getting lost on my way there (the Guia T shows the 1300 block as being about 6 blocks too far to the north; luckily a friendly security guard helped me figure that out!) I...

Thanks, blondie! I was thinking about migraciones for tomorrow, Friday - maybe you can help me with this - if I get there at 8am, at what time do you think I would be out of there? Depending on that, I may do that instead of Colonia, this time. But I will go look at the other boats too; didn't...

I have a really simple question! I need to renew my visa and I'd like to go to Uruguay (Colonia) on Saturday, to do so. Are there any problems with making that trip on a weekend? I assume the border patrol will be there stamping passports but I just want to make doubly sure because otherwise, I...

Ditto! Owen is great. I had a massage with him a couple of weeks ago and it was excellent. He is very skilled, professional, and friendly. I highly recommend him!

Did you guys make it to the game? I'd like to find one to go to one this weekend - if you're interested, let me know!

My brother, a big futbol fan (soccer!) is visiting this week. Anyone interested in joining us for one of the games this weekend? We'd love to go to a game but I'd rather go with a few people instead of the tourist tours. We don't have any plans yet but if you're up for Sat or Sun, let me know...

If it's not too late and you're up for a group like SimonM suggested, I'd be up for joining in! My cell is 11-3850-0490, feel free to send me a text. (I may see that faster than something you post here.) I live in Palermo not far from Alto Palermo, so that theater would be easy for me to get...

Hi Kirst! Congrats on buying your ticket, that's so exciting. I got advice on the same issue a couple of months ago before I came here on a one-way ticket. (http://baexpats.org/expat-life/6133-how-many-pieces-luggage-ok-bring-tourist.html#post37218) My one-way ticket to BsAs from the United...

I'm hoping to revive this thread to get some up-to-date recommendations for massage therapists. I really need to go for one soon! I'm doing a lot of swing dancing and tango dancing, and I can just feel my muscles crying out for some release. (A real massage, not one of the happy-ending type!)...

I'm hoping to put together a simple halloween costume by attaching glow sticks to black clothes. (to make a stick person :) But I don't know if / where I can find glow sticks here in capital federal. Any ideas? Glow sticks, or the glowing necklaces that I can straighten out, or some sort of...

Thanks for finding a place, BAJoe! I'll be there. Can't wait to watch my first futbol game in Argentina and to meet everyone else! -Liz

Debster, I'm looking for something similar to what you asked about. I'm going to Spanglish tomorrow night (Tuesday) to check it out but I'm also going to ask people there about whether they know of good group classes. I would prefer a group so that I can meet people, too. If I find anything...

Everyone, thank you so much for your insights! This is extremely helpful and it's comforting, too, to hear what good experiences you've had when you needed care. I'm going to go out and get something very soon! I may retain coverage in the US in some minimal form, too, to keep it "continuous,"...

Ditto! I can make it on Wednesday at that time, so if that works out for everyone else then I look forward to seeing you there. I'm pretty new here so I'll leave it to the rest of you to pick a good location!

Yes, thank you Charlsi! I'm so used to being 'ripped off', too, that I'm so suspicious of any company so I'm glad to hear you've liked their coverage so far. How did you hear about Galeno and why did you decide to go with them? I really appreciate your suggestions and guidance. :)

Hi everyone, I've read a number of the health insurance threads already and they've been helpful, but I hope you can help me with a few specific questions. I'm going to be in BA for awhile, as a tourist technically (renewing my visa every 90 days), and I have citizenship in the United States...

Thanks, dsc! I have seen that site, in fact -- I was hoping instead for more personal advice and suggestions, if anyone is willing to offer them! (That site doesn´t seem to offer much in the way of reviews, unless I´m missing them.)
