Less than two weeks after Alain Corneau, Claude Chabrol died yesterday and I can't believe Le Monde wasn't even able to come up with a decent obituary. Try The Guardian for a fair piece. http://www.lemonde.fr/cinema/article/2010/09/12/le-realisateur-claude-chabrol-est-mort_1410157_3476.html...

Have you tried this? http://mapa2.buenosaires.gob.ar/ As you've already been told about the subway map, maybe you'd like to check the online application. It's quite helpful, as you can insert the locations and it shows you how to get from point A to point B, with all possible combinations -...

Not usually, no. It may have happened to some to find an employer willing to take that step, but, more often than not, you get your papers in order first. With all the foreigners coming to Buenos Aires on a tourist visa and then trying to get a job here, most employers don't want to take the...

Hi everyone, I've been reading the threads on this forum for quite a while and finally brought myself to register and write an introduction post. I've been in Buenos Aires for about 4 months and frankly, I can't wait to wake up one day and see no more wintry rain... I left Europe just when it...
