I'm not sure what the cultural attitude towards boxing is here - but where I'm from a boxing gym won't accept you if you are over about 14 or 15 as they believe you are 'untrainable' or something. Maybe/Hopefully its different here as I'd love to pick up some good standup skills to replace...

Also interested in this if anyone can offer advice/experience, Cheers.

Hi there, Myself & my wife are looking to rent for about 10 months starting from Jan 2010. We would like to rent ideally in Belgrano/Belgrano R. Apartment requirements: Not a shoe Box, fast internet and we would require a second bedroom/room/area that could be used as a home office. Please PM...

Just to chime in that I've had some great pizza nice here, including ones with a wholewheat base. Funny thing about pizza too - the pizza in BA doesnt taste like the pizza I've had in NY which doesn't taste like the pizza I've had in Chicago which doesn't taste like the pizza I've had in Dublin...

Good point about not using an ATM at night - I will definitely remember that in future. Maybe I wasn't clear enough in my original post, but the transaction bailed-out during the process, long before "do you want a receipt" etc - hence I don't have one. It's the not having a factura in...

Hi could anyone please tell me what 'cottage cheese' is called in Argentina..? I've found some spanish translations online etc but I'd like to know what the definitive local term is - Cheers :-)

Hi All, Last night I attempted to withdraw pesos from the Banco de la Nacion branch in San Telmo at Carlos Calvo & Irigoyen. I've used this ATM about twice before with no problems. Unfortunately about 3/4 the way thru the process it rather abruptly said "your transaction has been completed"...

Utterly insane prices, $2,500+/mth.

Anyone know where (pub etc) I could watch the Ireland v Italy football match on television this saturday? I've never been to an Irish Bar here (I tend to avoid those when I'm abroad..) but do any of them show the matches? Cheers :-)

Can any of you please advise me on the merits of the various stands in River Plate? Platea Centenario y Sivori Baja/Media: I think I've heard this is a reasonable section? Platea San Martin y Belgrano Alta: Is this is worth extra $40-50 pesos or so? Platea San Martin y Belgrano Baja: Almost...

Thanks for that Mariano.

The match is on October 10th, I am assuming (famous last words..) that the match will be at River Plate Stadium, and my understanding is that tickets are sold from the stadium only ( I had thought they'd be available at ticketek.com.ar ). Anyone know when they go on sale, or how I could find...

I will hopefully be going to a River game soon. So walking up to stadium is the the main way to obtain tickets? Are there any ticket outlets closer to the center that I could avail of? Cheers.

To access Pandora (which utterly rocks BTW) all you need to do is use a virtual private network (VPN) which makes it look like you're in the US. Do a google search, there are countless options, and u can sign up to one for a couple of dollars a month. Or do a search for a free one that u can...

I've been wondering about this place myself, does anyone know anything about it or anyone who goes there? Also what is that area like on Galicia at night time? Ironically you can be rather vulnerable after a good martial arts class.. cos you're exhausted ;-)

Thanks a million Dave for having us and everyone over, great place and really friendly people, what more could you ask for..? :-) If there's a next time, we'll remember that the 29 is a LONG bus journey and we'll get there earlier ;-) Thanks again, Mark y Jessica

Hi Dave, very generous of you to host this BBQ. Assuming that you don't bar my wife and I for apparently bringing the rain over with us from Ireland.. we'd love to come along ;-) See all of of sunday, Mark y Jessica

Any chance you might be doing this again? I haven't played a full game since I was young teen but that sounds.. interesting at least.. :) Yes I have friends in NY who do this, really not that hard to set up IIRC.

Hi Im having reconstructive surgery on my nose (I was in a car accident a few years back) and Im thinking of getting it done by Dr.Oscar Zimman. He is a top University Professor. Ive looked into his work, he has written alot of papers, chairs various prestigious comitees etc. Im just wondering...
