I want to thank everyone for the great suggestions on things to do while my friends from out of town were here, I got some great ideas. A few people recommended "Fuerza Bruta", but a few people also mentioned that you stand through the whole performance looking up, which would be murder for my...

Thanks for the ideas, I found two people to take them off my hands. The list went from 40 to 80 as we kept cleaning out closets and I didn't want to burden one person with taking it all. That's good to know about the Salvation Army because I also have a ton of old clothes I want to donate...

We have friends coming to stay with us so we’re cleaning up the office. I have 40 books in English that I would like to donate. Does anyone want the entire collection? As an incentive to any Harry Potter fans, we have all 7 books and 5, 6 and 7 are in hardcover, I guess we couldn’t wait for...

Hi Folks, I have two friends, a couple, we are coming to stay with us. I've lived here almost 14 years so I don't do any touristy stuff except when I have to entertain out of town guests. 1 - Suggestions on things to do? 2 - I looked at the Hop on/Hop off bus...

We just brought in an inversion table (this is something to stretch your back, where you strap your ankles in and it pivots you upside down), this was in a huge box the size of a bicycle. It cost $299 and we had the receipt for it just in case. It was in it's original box (FYI, someone told me...

We turned our cable TV service off several years ago when I discovered I could download all the shows I wanted to see, without commercials, and then watch them via a media player hooked up to our HDMI TV. Because of this we missed the game on Wednesday when the city went insane for 4 hours...

We ordered sushi from our favorite sushi delivery place last night and was hit with another price increase. I pulled out some old receipts and did a few calculations. This isn't meant to start a debate about the prices of a luxury item like sushi, I just thought it was interesting to look at...

After completing the paperwork for the new DNI card at Hipolito Yrigoyen 952 they told us it would be delivered to our home in 30 days, it is also printed on the receipt that if you don't receive it in 30 days in the mail to go to their office to pick it up. We waited 50 days and it still...

Thanks for the replies, I just thought there was an "official" policy that was started about recycling, of course I know the cartoneros go through and collect what they can, but the notice we received actually said you can be fined for not recycling. I just wondered if it was more organized by...

I saw a message sign in the subway about wanting to cut the amount of garbage thrown away by 1/2 by recycling. There was some notice by the administration about recycling in our building, (it's a good sized building with 34 apartments), about putting glass, plastic and paper in black plastic...

Hi there, I read through all the replies to this topic and found it very interesting. We moved here from the USA in Oct 2000 as kind of a "change of life" thing as I've always loved Latin culture and how they seem to be able to balance life with the realities of work better then we do in the...

I want to get a cell phone for Ron for emergencies. The cheapest phone with a pay by the minute plan, I don’t want a monthly plan. We both hate the phone so we won’t be using it much, I just want to be able to reach him when he’s out running errands. I don’t need internet browsing or texting...

I went to the http://turnos.mininterior.gov.ar/turnosWeb/ website and when I tried to do the online process, it says Corregir los siguientes datos: Los extranjeros con n?mero de documento mayor a 90.000.000 deber?n presentarse en Av. Hipolito Yrigoyen 925” Note: They tell you the WRONG address...

Hello Group, We just returned from a trip to the USA and when Ron went through the passport check at EZE to go to Miami, they told him that the kind of DNI he has (the old brown booklet) was going to “expire” at the end of this year and that he needed to get the new updated DNI card. The agent...

I know you asked for a restaurant, but for delivery I love Furusato - http:\\www.sushi.com.ar I've been ordering from them for over 10 years. The quality is excellent and they have a nice variety of fish and the pieces are large. I order the "Combo 2 con pescada blanca" which is enough for 4...

I love Buenos Aires in January, except for the heat and humidity, it's like Sunday every day, nice and quiet!

I would also be interested in a shop that reupholsters leather furniture. I live in Recoleta and received a quote of $4,700 pesos to reupholster a 2 meter couch in green colored leather.

We got 6.20 at our exchange house, but that was 2 weeks ago.

This is exactly what is happening to a friend right now, he wants to sell his very beautiful 90 year old French provincial apartment, but no one can prove that they've earned enough money to purchase it because they've not been reporting their true income (to avoid paying taxes on it). He says...

We've been using USA box for years, great service. We have asked USA box to open things for us on occasion, when we couldn't figure out what it was via the scanned image on the internet and it looked important. We haven't done this often, but they will open and look at things for you. Good...
