To pass along info about buying plane tics - It looks like my Argie novio successfully bought me a domestic plane ticket (on Aerolineas), for the foreigner price (AR$ 1000 more than those with DNI), and paid in pesos on his credit card. Hopefully nothing changes between now and check-in!

I enjoyed the UBA course I took (nivel 5), although the class size was larger than expected (15) and several times the professors were > 20 mins late. But way better than the group classes I took from one of the Palermo schools; the UBA professors are actual professors - I learned a ton.

Hi there - I've been in the city nearly a year; would be up for hanging out with other expat girls. Coffee, beer, or mate - I'm in.

Heads up to any fellow vegetarians - a few food items that have meat in them are a bit unexpected (I learned the hard way!): -Cookies - many have beef fat/ lard; read carefully -Veggie bullion/soup cubes - ditto on the beef fat; Maggi is meat-free but has msg

Yep - the fb page aventurera posted is the one. Not strictly gals only - think my boy will join in; the last girls happy hour was good fun, so just wanted to propose another! Good humored gents are welcome too.

There's going to be a happy hour this Tues. to celebrate the 4th of July holiday that the U.S. Embassy is organizing. It's at 7pm at a Recoleta bar. Let me know if you want to join in - need to rsvp! I've been in the city a few months - like outdoor activities, chatting about politics/ travels...

Will make it for at least one drink!

Same with me - I had a night flight (midweek) & the whole process took about 20 mins - it's all in one corner of Ezezia - paper work station & bank. That was 4-5 months ago.

Looks like we're moving to Ushuaia (from BsAs)! Has anyone lived there - have advice about finding rentals/ cost of living/ best ski + hiking outtings? Advice about finding short-term rentals (while scouting out a long term place) would be much appreciated. Would be great to connect with folks...

To add on - the behavior towards women on the street is something that you're immediately exposed to in BsAs ... catcalls, unabashed staring, and groping are all accepted. In other countries I've lived, especially for unwanted touching on the street or collectivo, women tended to lend...

I'm possibly interested in such a group! Esp. interested in women & development issues

Haven't seen much on yoga on the forum; here are my 2-cents about what I've found over the past few weeks of trying out several classes around town. Would be great to hear what others have found! +BA Life Center (Alto Palermo): Yoga for English-speakers; variety of classes twice a day; beginner...

Anyone know of a place in Tigre that rents out kayaks (by the hour/ half day) without needing a rowing certificate? Many thanks!

The city gov. sponsors gallery nights every month in Microcentro/Recoleta (free art, vino, and revelrie). A bunch of Couchsurfers are going this Thurs. (May 9); figured I'd pass along the news here.

There's a an exhibition of Joan Miró at the Lucy Mattos Musuem for the next 2 weeks - who wants to check it out? It's outside the city, between Belgrano and Tigre. Could bike there, get some excercise, and see art that'll soon go back to Barcelona. It's a 12km from Belgrano to the musuem...

If others get together for informal cooking instruction/ a cooking club, I'd def. be interested! Could contribute Thai (lived there/ am growing the necessities in my balcony garden), basic Indian, veggie, and homemade ice cream.

G'luck with the move! I'm also studying towards my PhD (enviro. policy)... the fallback plan might be ski instructing. Let's grab vino or dessert (or both) when you've settled

Looks like this Thurs. at the Women´s Museum (free, in Microcentro) won out. PM me if you want to join in. Cheers

I´m a few months into living in Buenos Aires, working on my masters degree and living here with the Argie boyfriend. Do other newcomers have interest in gathering to check out one of the many art museums in town in the early evening, next week? The ones on my to do list are MALBA, MAMBA, and...

Hi Splaying- Looks like one other person might be interested also. One class that starts in March is ´Model thinking´. The site allows for sorting by class start date, hope that helps
