    Gay Marriage Passes in Arg Senate

    No. I'm saying anyone who believes sexuality is a conscious choice is laughably ignorant, be they Christian or otherwise, and whether they number in the billions or tens.

    Gay Marriage Passes in Arg Senate

    You are so laughably ignorant that I am quite literally at a loss for words. Perhaps it's time to go back to school? And by "school" I mean a genuine educational institution, not a special "religious" school where the root cause of everything in life and the universe is explained as being magic...

    Gay Marriage Passes in Arg Senate

    For a faith (supposedly) built around acceptance and loving thy neighbour, some of you guys aren't half hateful and prejudiced. Take it elsewhere, please. Argentina: Good on you, and congratulations on a truly momentous day! :)

    Some advice in salary package please

    Seconded! I couldn't believe how far you could travel on just a few pesos in Buenos Aires. The UK has a lot to learn if it wants to see a greater uptake of public transport...

    New to BA - Ola!

    Hello and welcome! Sounds like a very lively few years you've had; perhaps I'll get the chance to hear a few of your stories when I arrive in BsAs too! Do you know what model it is? Unlock procedures vary a bit by make/model, but if you google the model name + "unlock" you'll almost certainly...

    Laptop Charger

    What's the make/model of the laptop? I'll second the advice on sticking to the pricier, official kit. It's just not worth messing around; laptops are delicate things!

    Arriving in August

    Hi and welcome! You're in the right place; read a few pages of the Newcomer's forum in particular and you'll find a wealth of information on living costs, job advice, day-to-day living, you name it. I'm still new here, but in trawling through all the old topics I've learned absolutely loads...

    Some advice in salary package please

    Hi and welcome! Have a quick search of these forums, similar questions have come up before. At a rough guess though you'd probably want to find out if your company plans on subsidising your healthcare and what sort of help they'll offer you with your accomodation. For instance, from what I know...

    living in town?

    While in Buenos Aires recently I was fortunate enough to spend some time staying in San Isidro and it really is stunning! I wanted to snap a few pictures (as I snapped pictures of just about everywhere I went, ha!) but I was very conscious of wandering around such a nice neighbourhood...

    Newcomer - very new :)

    Heh, if anyone's going to pick up a language quickly it's probably a language teacher! :)

    Newcomer - very new :)

    Hello and welcome! I'll be doing something very similar myself quite soon; quitting everything here in England and effectively starting a new life in Buenos Aires in September. If like me your Spanish is either non-existant or very basic, you might want to look in to attending a language...

    Hola! (Alt: Health insurance for foreigners?)

    Some really great advice here, thank you everyone! I'll start contacting the various companies and see how I get on.

    Hola! (Alt: Health insurance for foreigners?)

    Greetings all! I've been lurking here for a little while now ahead of my impending move to Buenos Aires and thought it was about time I introduced myself. You seem like a friendly bunch and I've already learned a lot trawling old posts. I look forward to the day I might be able to offer similar...
