Hi Silvina, I'll be happy to meet next week after work, at 8 pm or so. Meeting at a cafe sounds good to me! I can help you organize it too, if you'd like. Saludos,

I am saddened and shocked to learn about some of the comments that people have posted on FB, EliA!! Thank you for sharing! There's always been racism in Argentina, sadly, starting with the attitudes towards our own indigenous peoples. One problem is that a lot of people in this country never...

Hi Gabriela, I understand well some of the things you have been going through. I also came back for, among other things, personal reasons and there are days when I still wonder about what the future holds in professional terms (and for the country as a whole) . I have to say, though, that...

Hi Alejandro, I also recommend UADE's program. It ranks among the best business schools in Argentina and its tuition and fees are not the most expensive ones here (if you are looking into private schools). They also keep improving their programs. I teach there, though at a different department...

I buy Weleda products at any farmacia; they're Swiss and they're mostly as natural as I could get here so far... FYI, there's a cosmetics' hazard database published by an environmental group that is quite useful in looking up what we put on our skin: http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com Results are...

Hi again, I'm also up for a weekday this week or next week, if that seems to work for most people. If those that are interested would like to PM me, I will e-mail you back to get something organized that I can then post to the whole group. Gracias!

Hi, I am very sorry I am joining the conversation again just now, as I had to be away for a few days. Thank you all for your messages!! If you are still up for meeting, how about getting together for coffee either this upcoming weekend or some other weekend in January, maybe somewhere around...

Hi, I agree with SteveinBsAs' suggestion and I may add looking into one of the private hospitals here that works with some English-speaking patients - Hospital Britanico. Maybe someone there, at the dental office, has some further ideas??

Vikingo, si, tu pregunta es valida, pero escribiendo en ingles todos estan incluidos! Saludos!

Hola Mendozanow! Thank you for your reply and suggestions. It's good to know I'm not the only one going through all this!!! Fortunately, my friends from college are still around and are very supportive. Families sometimes don't fully understand that, after living abroad, most people change their...

Hi Ricardo, I understand what you mean in terms of feeling proud and embarrassed about things around us in Argentina. I go through the same feelings oftentimes. One thing is for sure: I came back here because there's a lot to be done and, I thought, if I want to make a contribution, it is...

Hi, I am an Argentinian that has returned to Buenos Aires after 13 years of living in the bay area (California). I wonder if there are other fellow Argentinians on this site that came back to BA and now feel, like me, half-Argentinian/half-other?? I'm thankful for the BAExpats site and for the...

Great idea! Will you be hosting a similar event sometime in January or February? I'd like to join.

I agree with the generalized opinion that something is wrong with the original post: to name a couple of things, the tone of his e-mail and the totally vague criteria for the people they say they're looking for. If they do do professional work, they should know that a native speaker or a...

Hi, I am also close to 40 (38) and would like to meet more people in town, both expats and Argentinos, in my same age range. I have spent the last 13 years in California and am back in Buenos Aires. Please keep me posted! Sushi sounds great!

To the person that had asked about HSBC: a couple of months ago I had asked HSBC here if they were the same as the US HSBC and they told me that they are not... It sounded to me that if someone has an account in the US, the HSBC banks here are not a "branch" of the US banks and may need to have...

I think the book club idea is great! Unfortunately, since I am a native Spanish speaker that spent more years living in Argentina than the US, I will not join the group this time as it involves paying a teacher, but I'd like to meet others from the group and socialize in the future. I'd really...

I live in Barracas - feel safe living here as a young adult woman - and my Argentine family has lived here since they immigrated to Argentina two generations ago. Barracas has nice and safe areas as well as some that are not safe, like any other neighbourhood, even expensive Palo Alto and areas...

Hi, I used to do Iyengar yoga in Palo Alto and Berkeley (California) with a great teacher and I would like to continue now in Buenos Aires. Does anybody have a good recommendation for a good Iyengar teacher in the palermo/recoleta/downtown area and/or any experiences about where NOT to go? Thank...

Thank you for your answers and your time!
