Hi, I'm fairly certain sour cream isn't available in Buenos Aires, but I was wondering if anyone could recommend a similar product or know of a recipe that produces something comparable? I was looking up recipes and it seems like I need buttermilk as a base. Is that sold here? Thanks!

Hi, I believe several of you bring items like electronics into Argentina and sell when you travel outside the country. I'm aware of the potential customs tariffs at EZE. Could you tell me what products specifically you have had success with selling for a profit recently? Do you know any...

Hello, I am looking for a furnished 1 bedroom apartment in Las Cañitas. I would like a full kitchen and a separate bedroom. I would like to pay at most around US$700/month. If anyone knows of something, please let me know! I would be renting starting the 6th of December for several months...

Hi, Does anyone know where I could purchase a bottle or can of Hershey's syrup to use in a recipe? I'd be open to buying a local brand if it is tastes similar and is good quality.

Thanks, that's very helpful. Does anyone know a lawyer or someone that might be able to guide me through the license process, or advise me if one is really necessary? I emailed the popcorn cart company. Hopefully they can help.

Thanks guys for the helpful advice. I was thinking something similar to this image...

Hi, Does anyone know where or who I could contact to buy a push cart for selling food from. I'm looking for one similar to the hot dog ones in New York. It needs to have a freezer or some way to store ice cream in it. I would really really appreciate your help with this. I'm guessing it...

When I do a quote on a shipment from the US to Argentina it quotes me almost US $100 for an envelope. Is that the normal rate? I knew it would be expensive, but that's more than I'd predicted.

I need to have an important document (2 pages total) sent to me from the US and was wondering what the most dependable method is? I would guess it would be FedEx or DHL, but I'm a little concerned about what they will do with it when they get to my apartment since there is no portero. Is there...

Has anyone been on a tour of the Teatro Colón since it reopened? A friend and I want to go in it, but can't find any information on their website about the days or times they are available if at all. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, Really random question. Where can I get a pair of shoes shined in the downtown area in Buenos Aires? I wandered around the centro yesterday thinking there would probably be someone catering to business people, but couldn't find one. It might have been too late in the day or just because...

Unless anyone objects let's meet at Wherever Bar on Friday night at 7 pm. I believe they have happy hour specials. We could do dinner or whatever else we want afterwards. Their address is Santa Maria de Oro 2476 which is right off Santa Fe and very close to the Palermo subte station. Could...

Thanks Katie for the idea. Let's meet 7pm this Friday for happy hour. I'd just go ahead and chose a place if I knew one that had happy hour. Someone please suggests one, maybe in Palermo Viejo area?

I think the idea of grabbing drinks and possibly dinner afterwards sounds good. I live in San Telmo, but I probably spend the majority of my time in Palermo. Since I've been gone for the past 2 years a lot of bars/restaurants have changed, so recommendations for cool bars to meet up would be...

Hi, I just recently moved back to Buenos Aires (lived here 2007-2008) and would love to meet some other expats around my age (I'm 24). I grew up in Portland, Oregon. I'm pretty outgoing and enjoy doing cultural activities, bars, boliches, etc. Basically I have a big range of interests that...

Hi, I just recently moved back to Buenos Aires and have an apartment in San Telmo. The past couple of nights I have woken up with bug bites of some kind. They're red lumps that itch a little. I could easily imagine bugs could get in my apartment since it's and old building and there is space...

Hi, I feel a little silly asking this, but I'm sure someone here could help me with my question. The milk sold in grocery stores comes unrefrigerated (radiated I assume), and refrigerated. The refrigerated variety seems to only be sold in bags that have no way to be resealed. Do you pour the...

Wow, that's way more than I would have guessed

Hey, I know this is a nearly impossible question to answer, but how many expats do you think are living in Buenos Aires currently? I'm thinking of expats that are living in Buenos Aires completely by choice, not so much for economic or political reasons, or immigrants from neighboring...

Hi, I'm going to be arriving in Buenos Aires in two weeks to work and live for 1-2 years. I plan on doing some travel around Argentina and South America during my assignment in Buenos Aires. I know Buenos Aires fairly well, but not so much the rest of the country/continent. I'd prefer not to...
