Is exciting really the word you are looking for here? I am sure it was not very exciting for those being assassined...

Lucha, didn't know you were CS, cool! I am an active member too, I have hosted about 30 people or a little more over the last four years or so. I agree with you. None of the ones I have hosted have ever expected anything else than a place to sleep. I always offer breakfast (and tell them they...

I thought the chosen design was this one, not the one with the photos: Norway's Beautiful New Pixelated Bank Notes. As the resident noruega of the forum I should know but I am not sure jaja! It's sort of weird with all this attention to the new bills when almost everything is card transactions...

We are scared that Polostar will yell at us! :) But yes, I will be going too.

Hi El Cheese, sounds like it could work. I don't have direct experience in this, but I did do a lot of buying at the mercado central and I know a few verduleros, one of them very well. He always said it was key to go himself, not send someone else/rely on a middle man, and he had good...

Totally agree, I go to barrio chino and my local pescaderia as well, but do enjoy the central market for the variety and the prices. Great once in a while, especially if you are having a party or something like that. Mmmmm this sounds delicious! Have never heard of using tea for hot smoking...

Yep, all true! In addition to the prices Bajo Cero quoted, filet de merluza was 50 pesos a kilo and filet de lenguado was 95. I cooked the trout for lunch and it was delicious!

500 dollars a month is about right. You can check the CUI (Centro Universitario de Idiomas) and their prices here: Study in Buenos Aires. It is sort of an independent part of the UBA. I take other language classes at CUI and am very happy with them! Laboratorio de Idiomas is also part of UBA...

I don't even know what to respond to this... But yes, I have met Dr. Rubilar outside of the forum and I am not worried. We might disagree politically but I don't think that really matters, and I am 100% sure that he is not out to keep an eye on me or other expats or collect information... And...

I grew up in Oslo, but I do want to clarify that I am not a completely innocent wide-eyed country bumkin! :D I spent three years in Central America, plus lost of work travel there after that (almost died twice in Guatemala), lived in different European countries, many years in the US and now two...

Yes, I have seen walnuts in bulk there, but then we have to go into the big fruit and vegetable hangars, not sure if I am up for that, we'd have to go very early.

Awesome! Yes, I agree - either tipo 5am on a weekday, or 7 on a Saturday.

Ceviche, Bob, good advice from both of you. Sometimes I am just very Norwegian, thinking that the rest of the world works the same way...

Matt, what is up with your spelling?? Have you been learning from Ariel81?? I don't have a car but would be happy to organize an outing if you guys are up for a very early morning, or we could go Saturday at 7:30 or so. I can ask my local remiseria for a price. Just the fish part, though.

No, I haven't done any fish blogging, maybe I should! Once a guest came with us, she took some amazing photos and posted them on her blog, but it seems to be temporary unavailable. The central market is just off Ricchieri, kilometro 17. (Autopista Ricchieri y Boulogne Sur Mer, B1771B1A...

Tilapia is called tilapia, they do have some commercial raised tilapia here I believe, but I don't see it around much at all. Red snapper is pargo, don't really see that either but maybe because I am not looking.

I went to check on my residencia and got this message: "Su trámite se encuentra con faltante de documentación. Por favor preséntese en la sede donde inició el mismo para mayor informacion." When I got the precaria in December, I was told to come back with the translation of the passport as well...

Polostar88, this is a serious question, not trying to make light of your food concerns: why do you say the fresh fish here is so bad? I consider myself relatively literate when it comes to fish: I grew up on the coast of Norway with lots of fresh fish, and my grandfather also did lots of river...

I am not scared at all, I am a "nobody", as someone pointed out, no offense taken! :) I just had a little late night paranoia about whether my public twitter account is the place I should be sharing links and quotes that are highly critical of the government, when I am in the middle of a...

I think you should bring some good quality extra virgin organic shade grown coconut oil; you can sell it to other members of BAexpats for a loooot of money!
