Libertad from block 100 to 300 has a lot of jewelry shops. That may be your best bet to look around in there.

I'll never understand why they do it. Well, I mean, it is a political ploy to get more support from Kirchner's base of supporters, but with the current state of the economy, can they really keep shaving millions and millions of dollars off the economy for pointless holidays?

I find complaining about Argentine problems to be a great source of stress release so have at it!

NOTHING can be imported right now. While it bothers you that you can't get these items, there are people who cannot receive proper medical treatment for very serious conditions because of the import ban. Right now, if you have cancer or aids, the public health care will only cover you for 30 to...

All I really want to see is a protest. And not the "protests" from K's slum supporters who turn the Downtown into chaos every now and then. But a protest of normal, every day Argentines, regardless of political affiliation standing together peacefully to demand change. There doesn't have to be...

People live with their families. Only when people have enough money to buy a property do they usually move out of the family house. Most households also have more than one person working. The more people in the household who work, the easier it is to get by. I have seen this with a lot of my...

It is a very nice area. The only downside is that it is very dark in this area at night, so just be careful and use common sense at night.

I see your point, and I get it, but that is reading way to much into piles of dog poop. But I do understand what you are saying.

If Argentines showed the same passion for their basic rights and freedoms as they do for their favorite futbol clubs, Argentina would be a very different place.

I mean I guess I get it. It is smelly, (most) people don't pick it up and expats seem to step in it very easily. But compared to everything else here and all the day to day challenges of living here it just seems a very odd thing for people to fixate on. Dog poop is really the least of my...

That is exactly what I am saying. It is by no means a reflection on all drivers, most of them are very nice and do their job well. The ones that have done this were assholes who looked like they didn't make it past elementary school. Yeah, I'll admit, the smell can be downright awful...

You have to actually go and experience a telo to know what it is. No amount of stories can make up for actually going to one.

I have yet to understand the expat obsession about the dog poop here. Yes there is some of it on the sidewalks, but all you have to do it glance down occasionally to make sure that you've missed it. And most likely, you are already looking down trying not to sprain your ankle on the sidewalks...

I would recommend not using a phone with Personal. My girlfriend had them and blocked 90% of my calls from the US. No clue why, but they did.

I'll never understand how the women here who are terrified of getting robbed can justify using an expensive purse that is big enough to stuff a turkey into it. It is like walking around with a big target on you. Tez, I am sorry to hear that your bag was taken. I was pick pocketed once and lost...

A lot of people put up fliers and they find English students to give private lessons to, but thats really more of a long term plan, since it can take a while to get enough students to make it worth your while. Search in here (for the occasional ad for a babysitter) and on craigslist and you may...

Its amusing to see so many "new" users all agreeing on the same point...like we can't see right through that act.

It's like choosing between Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini. No matter who you choose, the cons will outweigh the pros.

They ALL suck. We've had Claro and Personal and both have been awful. I guess if I had to choose, I would pick Personal. Claro is nothing but a bunch of thieves and liars and I refuse to use them anymore.

Regardless of the politics and who is to blame, this is a tragedy and it is a shame that this happened. I wasn't surprised to see this at all. Yes, the toll is shocking, but we've seen it before and sadly, we'll see it again. At least 49 dead and 600 injured. It is such a waste. And even with...
