I couldn't tell you for a fact but have in mind that you must have a degree to become a registered chiropodist in Argentina (hopefully from UBA) as they deal with more serious issues than painting toenails and the like whereas pedicures are only supposed to be trained beauticians who specialise...

Ni en pedo! (nae chance, no way) has taken my bf a long way. It's one of the first colloquial expressions he learnt from me when he arrived along with the also very useful Dale, daleeee! (come on, come on) and Para joder (just because but very emphatically, suggesting that the person who does...

Thanks a lot for your reply, French Jurist-totally hating the idea of heading back to that depressing Retiro office once again, though. Last time we had something shipped was even worse because we didn't even get that yellow ticket to claim the parcel in Retiro but another one which made us...

I'd go for JUGOSO just in case. Because of bad aftose fever memories, Argentinians have become very cautious when it comes to grilling their beef and tend to overdo it-most locals actually like it well-done by default, too. This is even worsened by the fact that some grill bars tend to "recycle"...

My fiance's been doing the Colonia/Uruguay thingy for 3 years so far and never ever encountered any trouble. Mind you, we always spend at least a weekend away whereas a Scottish friend took a day-trip to Carmelo-via Cacciola-and was scolded by the Customs officer on her arrival back in Tigre...

if you've a short stylish haircut in mind, I gather these people would be a good a choice: http://www.delacabezapelu.com.ar/ they do lots of fashion shows and photo sessions but are quite affordable and conveniently located somewhere between Palermo and Almagro (1136 Mario Bravo) Best of luck!

Hi everyone! Ages ago we bought a couple of small clothing items on ebay and had them shipped to the UK for our upcoming wedding in the hope that my future mother-in-law would bring them along when she came over for the ceremony. Sadly enough, she won't be able to make it now but has posted...

Hausbrot rocks!! :D There are decent loafs of wholewheat bread with seeds and the like available at most Chinese supermarkets for reasonable prices-say $7.50 approx-they're good quality and last for a while as the slices are thinner too. Naturally enough, as they're not manufactured by Fargo...

I don't know if this one's been mentioned before but I particularly dislike the stuff from Las Cuartetas-which oddly enough is somehow iconic to many locals. Thick, oily, rubber-like dough, almost the size of a sponge cake ... my idea of a pizza nightmare really!

Thanks a lot for all the answers! Yeah, RC= registro civil (registry office) and RA does mean Argentina (btw, BA stands for Buenos Aires too hahaha) @Steven and Alzinho, my bf (boyfriend) said exactly the very same thing, why should I have it translated when it already is?? but things don't...

Hi all, I wasn't born in RA but do hold an Argentinian DNI and passport and will be marrying my long-term British fiance in less than a month. We do already have an appointment at the RC Headquarters in Uruguay Rd and the only documents he was requested to hand over were his passport and...
