If you go through CUI (part of UBA but cheaper, not sure why , for their one month intensives, $500 US compared to almost $700 US if you go through regular UBA). You don't have to pay in dollars, that's just the rate you pay in pesos. I think they can help you with a homestay, though I'm not...

'up to a point' is a more formal possibility. Or 'not so much' in a less formal context.

I think it's important to post something you think is helpful to others, both positive and negative. It's not okay to pitch an online hissy fit over every little inconvenience, but customer service in in BsAs would probably be much better if businesses felt the power of the internet the way they...

I agree--check out the cotillon shops, Maria Tutti in Belgrano has a lot of cake decorating stuff, and you might find what you need there. If that doesn't work, when do you need them? My husband is planning a trip to the states in May, hasn't got a ticket yet, but if you want us to mule them...

okay, thanks for your help! My problem is that I don't think it makes sense in English or conveys the same thing as it does in French, to say the 'the chef of an exceptional table maintained by the Cheto family blah blah blah.' but maybe I'm wrong, and in the restaurant world one can say chef...

Hello expats, especially speakers of french and french restaurant lingo experts! I'm stuck on a French expression here, hoping someone on this board can help me. I'm a proofreader going over a French to English translation and the phrase, 'chef d’une table exceptionnelle' has been translated as...

Okay, big bummer. None of my titles have the Lend feature enabled, you can check this in Amazon under Manage Your Kindle. Grrr! I'm also not sure if we'd be able to do the lending thing outside the US. But the Hunger Games were sent to me as PDFs by another member of this forum, thanks...

I haven't done it yet but I know it's possible, to lend Kindle titles for two weeks to another kindle user. I'm desperate for some new reading material and the cost of books here is too depressing for words. I have State of Wonder (Ann Patchett) Night Strangers (Chris Bohjalian) The Hunger...

thinking about taking a weekend trip, probably too late for semana santa, but maybe in the future. experience, anyone?

who would be willing to share what you know about parenting blogs in the UK, aka mummy blogs? PM me if there's a UK parenting or technology (or both!) blog you especially like and would go to for advice on either. In return for sharing your experience with me, I can offer you a half-price...

A beautiful simple film, available on netflix (US). The title in English is Intimate Stories. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPFd5BOn454

I've never had dinner at Artemisia, only breakfast and lunch maybe a half dozen times. I really liked it (FINALLY something different to eat). I wouldn't say the service is terrible, maybe on the lackadaisical side, but that would pretty much par for the course for any restaurant in BA that...

I met a wonderful catsitter through this forum, a really great guy recommended by a long term member of this forum. I already offered his info to bradlyhale, but he is looking for someone who can keep the cat in his/her home, not someone to come to his house, for the reasons the above post...

Not trying to make fun, 'wax specialist' isn't a term I am familiar with but then again what else could you be referring to...somehow I doubt cars or floors... Contact Happy Sun Yoga at info@happysunyoga and ask for the contact info of the woman offering depilacion and mani/pedis. I believe...

Hello expats, I decided to finally take that one month intensive course to improve my decent but still much lacking castellano. I signed up for a course with CUI, did all the paperwork and paid for it, and haven't been able to get a response from either of the two people I did the paperwork with...

Here's the link for sending a comment to the Ministero de Seguridad de Salta: http://www.salta.gob.ar/como-contactarse-gobierno-de-salta.php Here's a good article articulating the outrage over Maximiliano Troyano's comments...

I had a mother stop me in the park to ask who cuts my son's hair, which Raymond not only does with good humor but with a sensitive ear for both mama and hijo's preference. Raymond not only does a great job with color and cuts, even on flaky people like me who think every three months or so is...
