Amigos, some American/European friends are coming to visit in two weeks. They would like to have a babysitter come to their hotel one or two evenings. They live in Brazil so the kids speak English and Portuguese. They are 2 and 10. Any recs?? Feel free to send a personal message if you don't...

Thanks Silwie, will try that!! Gracias Esteban! Oh. My. God. Yes!! I have always seen that on the map but thought "Oh that is far", but now I have the perfect reason! Totally making a field trip there and blogging about it. Or throw a Norwegian event there!

It is a professional development course. Kettle, thanks so much! These sound like good options. Looking forward to exploring the area. (Definitely taking my camera next time, such pretty trees and houses.)

Sorry for the strange title, was trying to get several pieces of info in there... Today I took a class in Belgrano R, an area I do not frequent much, and I loved it! So beautiful. I will be going there every Friday from 9 to 13 for the next five months so I would love to get some...

I also go to Linda, she is good! Just wanted to correct the phone number, it is 11 5465 2888.

I helped a friend use Las Lunas and they were excellent from start to finish. www.latampettransport.com

I cannot EVER be in a taxi without the driver asking "Vo' no so' de acá, no?" I have started to message a friend saying how many seconds it takes before they ask. (Actually, I lie, yesterday I took a taxi and the driver didn't ask, hooray!) Sometimes I don't mind but I am SO tired of answering...

I have to agree with this. I am personally very much in favor of public health care, and I think that having middle classes use public health care is one way that the system stays functioning, BUT here in Argentina, as a foreigner and someone can afford it, I think it is basically my duty to get...

There are a few words that he struggles with (when he says "increible", for instance), and yes, maybe he tries a little too hard, but I find him to be such an endearing character! I enjoy his videos and I enjoy that he so clearly loves Buenos Aires, the accent and the people.

BAexpats, the place where it is forbidden to keep two thoughts in your head at the same time. :) Maybe we can agree that there are good things and bad things and sometimes one just wants to vent, as another member pointed out. I totally agree that supermarket checkout is very slow. My solution...

Yes, this is such BS. Giving away rights to China is totally OK; being seen as a collaborator of the US is totally bad. Really annoys me!

I had never heard of this until your post, but access to a place with a pool in Palermo is kind of cool! Then again, it did not look very big from the pictures, so I assume it would be kind of crowded in the summer.

Thank you so much!! Before I never had the Ver documentación link, but now I did and there was my extension. Excellent! Thanks again.

I enter my tramite number to log in, and it shows that I have asked for the extension, but it just keeps saying that after 3 working days I will be able download the precaria extension. But there is nothing, other than the text I pasted above.

Amigos, I entered to renew my precaria online this past Monday. I was supposed to log in after three days to download the precaria. When I log in now, after several days, I get this message: La solicitud de renovación de su residencia precaria ha sido registrada con los siguientes datos: xx A...

Welcome Sunny! Bring your bike, but not the skis, would be my opinion. You can bike regularly on the weekends, but like Sleuth is saying, skiing is a flight away, so much less accessible in money, time, distance, and short season. My big regret is not bringing my nice Trek bike here! It was...

Yes, you have to work for the country's foreign service/diplomatic corps to get the real good salaries and benefits. Norway, for instance, has local employees at all their embassies and consulates. These can be Norwegians who already live there, or people from the country in question, like...

Thank you Mano Negra for this recommendation! I am always looking for places to go and there are a lot of rather expensive ones, so this looks like a great alternative. Has anyone been to La Candelaria de Monte? (Not to be confused with the more well-known Candelaria in Lobos.) It looks really...

Totally agree with both of you. I will link to my proudest accomplishment on BAexpats (locked now but available to read): Ajoknoblauch - What Is Your Problem?? As I wrote before, I have him on ignore but sometimes I read his posts when they are quoted by someone else. Pathetic, that is what he...

I don't have a recommendation in capital but usually it is cheaper to get a remis from where you are going. When I lived in the province, the local remises were much cheaper and only charged one way, while if you got a car from capital, it would often charge both ways. So maybe look at the area...
