all of you, thank you SO SO SO MUCH. you just made night #2 here feel a lot better...i will certainly be a lot more careful with stuff and think a money belt sounds very sane.

What are the SAFEST neighborhoods for a family to live in? Today we were in Plaza San Martin at a nice cafe, and my purse was stolen non-violently, but gone in a second, leaving me feeling a little more concerned with safety than I already was. Is Plaza San Martin a bad neighborhood for...

i got my purse stolen today, my first day here. in a fancy cafe in san martin square with my 2 kids and large husband. they were magicians.

i am sure i'll be coming back to this topic upon arrival. thanks for asking!

Hi guys - i hope i'm not over posting here! Everyone has been so helpful. So, this may sound strange, but i wanted to get any potential input on where to send my very sweet 6 year old son to school. He's sensitive, enthusiastic, not 'girly' but certainly not macho or athletic. His spanish is...

oh, Montauk_Project please tell me which bilingual school in recoleta that was! or which to avoid. THANK YOU!!! We are going to try to find non-bilingual schools where my 6 year old will be ok coming from the US...

Thank you both so much! PhilipDT, those are both very exciting links. I really appreciate you sending them!!! We are not sure what our budget is - sounds pathetic i know. But, we are trying to get a sense of school costs and the general lay of the land. My husband is from there and is probably...

Hi friends, Sorry to intrude - but can i ask where you live and how you found your housing? And, if you have kids, where they go to school? We are looking for between 14-18 month rental for a family of 4 who's used to living with lots of quiet and space! We would love to find something...

hi! we are moving with our 6 and 2 year old in a week - and someone just told me something we had not considered. Which is that bilingual schools (english spanish) are NOT good for the native English speaker because the level of English will be so absurdly easy for young kids that they'll be...

thank you guys so much - this is very helpful!

hi friends, any recent input on getting through customs with lots of suitcases? we are not planning on bringing anything valuable, but just a lot of stuff. we're coming for almost a year with 2 young kids and i have tons of toys, clothes, etc. that i want to bring. My husband, who's an...

Hi Amazing community, I feel a little weird writing this, but I was wondering if any of you have young kids and wouldn't mind meeting us for a playdate? My sons are 2 1/2 and will be 6 on June 12th. My almost 6 year old is the one i'm really worried about - he's very social and since we've...

that is indeed terrible - yet it's sort of a relief, because coming from LA if people are going to kidnap you, they're not going to let you free unharmed.

Hi superpeople who are saving my sanity as we prep to move in June. I have been to BA many hot months, but never for winter. But, we're moving in late June. So, how cold does it get? I read high 50s and that doesn't sound too cold - and rainfall is less in July than January. But, is it a...

We're about to move down and i'm embarrassed to ask, but curious - how do you get US TV shows? Will I say goodbye to The Colbert Report for good? I have little understanding, but is there any device i should buy here before coming? An Apple TV box? A slingshot? THANK YOU! Is it correct that you...

hi friends, i am so hoping by a miracle that some of you can give me your thoughts! We are still in the US and will be moving to BA in late June. My 6 year old son just got his 'acceptance' to Lincoln school, and they want a $1000 deposit. It's a lot, but if it's the best place for him, we'll...

Wow, i'm so thankful that you guys have put all this info re the schools! i had no idea that it would be hard to get in mid-year. hopefully the point about movement post start of the year will work in our favor. My older son doesn't have a good temperament for home schooling - he's a social...

I'm so glad i found this group! Hi! My Argentine husband, 2 american sons and I are moving to BA for 18 months in June. After reading about how shipping is a nightmare, I think we're going to just take what we can on our flight. Do any of you have advice about what is worth bringing based on...
