Thanks syngirl - I wish the assignment wasn't to supply for a cheese tasting, or it would be easier. I'm going to ask around a few shops and see what kind of answers I get. Thanks for the reply.

I'm hoping someone might be able to suggest the name of a really good type of local cheese. I'm heading back to the States for Thanksgiving and want to bring some great local cheese for my family. The only restriction is that it not be really soft (like Brie) so that I get help up at customs...

It is 1.10. Pay the fare.

taxi/remise was 94 pesos from the airport to Palermo last weekend. I wouldn't deal with the hassle of bus + taxi. You'll save 30 pesos and add a lot of hassle/time.

I went to Ceviche but almost a year ago. The ceviche was really good and I liked the pisco sours, but several pisco sours ran the bill up pretty quickly...

One note about the FBI prints being apostiled/certified - the FBI will NOT do this. If you ask them to, they'll simply include a note saying that they do not certify the fingerprints/results. It will have to be translated and certified by the college of translators here, however. I did...

Here is the link to the FBI record request that you'll have to print out with the accompanying fingerprint "card". The hardest problem will be getting the finger prints done here as the police departments typically don't like doing this service (it's free) when they see FBI. They might not be...

Kansas is a carbon copy of Houston's in the States if you are familiar with it. I don't know what hype you're referring to, but it's decent if you're in the mood for it.

I've been going to Wine Tour Urbano almost a year and it's a fun way to try some new wines and meet people. Also, they typically do a 6-for-5 deal if you're coming with a group. Sol, the girl in charge, is really nice and wants everyone to have a good time.

If anyone is looking for another alternative to 0800's tastings (I've done them, too) - Wine Tour Urbano just started back up last month and they have a wine tour once a month. It's a fun way to try a handful of different wines, meet people, etc. Typically there are 10 shops in Palermo Viejo...

perfect - close to my apartment - I'll check it out this weekend. thanks!

Does anyone have a recommendation for a general fitness store? I'm looking for a place that sells yoga mats, dumbbells, resistance bands, the push-up things, etc...

I don't know where you live/work, but there is a Correo office on 25 de mayo I think at the corner of Peron. Take a number, sit and wait until it comes up on the digital display. Tell them you're mailing to the US (quiero enviarlo(s) a los estados unidos), they may ask you how to send them...

i'm glad, that makes two of us - I grew up in South Carolina and have found myself teaching several porteños its use.

BA_Local - sounds like you spent time in the southern US. It's not too often you see someone use "y'all" on this forum. I grew up in the south myself.

I noticed an outdoor shop on esmeralda somewhere between paraguay and santa fe...I saw backpacks and heavy jacket shells in the window and assume they have more. Sorry I don't have a exact address but if you're over there you can take a look.

This is probably more than you're looking for, but Club de Amigos has just about everything you could want to do as far as sports, gym, etc. I think it's around $200 USD for a year membership and then extra for weight room, tennis courts, etc.

I like Congo (Honduras y Godoy Cruz) and Godoy (Paraguay y Godoy Cruz). Congo has a nice area out back and is pretty tranquilo. Godoy also has a nice outdoor area but it's not quite warm enough yet. Plenty of others but those come to mind.

Has anyone been to the city of Neuquén before? I was originally looking to book a fishing trip for the holiday in October but the season doesn't start until Nov 1. Regardless, some friends wanted to go somewhere for the long weekend and I found good airfare prices to Neuquén. If anyone has...
