    bife de chorizo?

    Granted. I do get carried away with the differences bet. BA and other cities in Argentina. Sorry about that. But even so, my point was to help the guy to understand what the majority of the spanish speaking world call that cut. It's much easier to identify and google for an "entrecot". And stop...

    bife de chorizo?

    Thanks for the link. But again... as a clarification: those are "porteño" cut names. At least in Rosario and a great pct of Argentina, some cuts are different and some names too.

    bife de chorizo?

    I can tell you that the equivalent for "bife de chorizo" is "entrecot" in Rosario and most of Argentina. I really don't know why porteños named this premium cut to sound like it's some sort of smashed chorizo. And the "entrecot" in Buenos Aires is sometimes used for a different (cheap) cut...

    from london to buenos aires

    Yes, I understand it can be hard for a foreigner to find a decent job. I mentioned one example of the contrary, but still, I can accept it's not easy. But averages are tricky. Actually, any statistics can be deceiving if not reviewed thoroughly. I don't want to get into a unions argument...

    Dude, that was an example of unionized jobs raising the bar.

    from london to buenos aires

    I was not implying any job for an expat or for the OP in particular. My post was intended to clarify (or better yet, to help us all figure out) the AVERAGE salary in Argentina. Also, I've only mentioned graduated or unionized people as an example of why I don't think 1800 is AVERAGE.

    from london to buenos aires

    I don't have the stats on my hand, but being argentinian and knowing a little bit of this country, i can say that 1800-2000 pesos is the lowest most people can accept for a full-time job. We are talking about people with a minimum education of course. And even for the "non-educated", those that...

    You know why they seem "meh" to you? Because they all have other people living in. You are correct, the moon may be your best choice. ;) Seems to me, no place on earth can satisfy you.

    The best CHORIPAN in BA.

    The best red chorizo I have tried is in "La Cabrera" (Palermo Soho). And since you are at it, ask for the "Pamplona de Lomo" as the main dish (for 2). Then come here and thank me.

    The "problem" with Rosario is that it's not on any touristic agenda. The city really did not care for tourism almost its entire history. Only recently we have seen an increase in strategic plans to create different attractions. Cordoba, Mendoza and of course Buenos Aires have always invested in...

    Recommend a city

    If you don't like big, industrial, port cities, then BA is the greatest evil in Argentina. BA is Rosario *5. Regarding "ugliness", I cannot comment on that, as is very subjective. But again, consider it a small Buenos Aires. The working class neighborhoods are just that... and yes, sometimes...

    Cordoba is a +1 million inhab with great universities and quality of life, much like my home city (Rosario), but if you are looking down south, and since you mention it... Bariloche is not at all a bad option. Since you are looking for math and science, there is the Instituto Balseiro, where the...

    No more imported food...

    Ohhh.. funny!! So I'm sure he is really glad the free market agreements made his business to fail, right? Again, USA has put a very tiny quota on imported meat, grains and fruits FROM Argentina (I was not talking about the rest of the world, as I WOULD NOT KNOW what is each deal). So in any...

    Again. You really don't know about farmers protection in the US.

    No more imported food...

    That's easy... anyone can go and live to Greece. I've heard they are really good adopting free market measures. Not a bad option at all, you can buy properties low now.

    No more imported food...

    Dude, do you know how strict the US is to allow imports that compete with their own production?? Argentina has always had a hard time to put products (fruits, meat, grains,..) in the states. There's always a small quota or none at all. I agree that extreme protectionism is bad, but let's not be...
