Look for the large table under the covered area outside of Starbucks Alto Palermo. See you all there soon

Based on hearing expat experiences with this, you may want to find an Argentine who can make a recommendation for you to an organization. Regarding volunteering, you’ll have to pay to do that. The alternative is working in black for a restaurant, although even that us risky for the restaurant...

You might check with Chicken Brothers in Palermo (message them via their Facebook page). The issue you may run into is the american college football games coinciding with the more predominant futbol games going on now. Many of the former hangouts for expats wanting to catch these games have...

Taxis will be hard to come by on Christmas Eve. When we are in town, we typically host a pot luck with white elephant and invite people over, keeping in mind that the hardest time to find taxis is between 9pm and 2am. Buses and subte also stop running, but check those times on the city website...

By the way...back to meat restaurants...anyone know what happened to El Tejano? Had a craving for brisket that now will now be tended to by an unknown...Bulls Barbecue. Anyone tried this place?

Best pizzas I've had were in Italy and Berlin (of all places)...Argentina's typical oil-filled sponge crusts ruin it for me. Even the crisper crust pizzas are topped with the oiliest of cheese...I'd rather add spiced oil to my pizza that to drink the white cheese oil in the crust. I've now...

Unless you have some sort of loan forgiveness option, you should begin paying off, at minimum, half of what you can afford to pay and keeping the rest in a dollars account for a rainy day (if you lose employment or if something unforeseen occurs that requires you to spend money). Some student...

Just curious...

Ah, a great thread with some funny posts by many of my favorite veteran post-ers.

Found it...this one has the detail about our road trip that went the opposite way as you plan. Hope it’s useful: https://baexpats.org/threads/patagonia-road-trip.32137/

Here’s an old post with some useful info from veteran forum members on Mendoza/Bariloche/Villa la Angostura. I’ll find another post on our coastal drive from South to North. https://baexpats.org/threads/been-to-mendoza-villa-la-angostura-bariloche-in-november.31569/

Yup, you just say “Voy a Alto Palermo Shopping”. Starbucks is at the corner of Arenales at Coronel Diaz (next to the Nike store). Coffee Chats have been going on weekly since 2014 and have been a good source of info for those who are in the process of getting established. While I do agree with...

Hi Betsy, we have a meetup “Coffee Chat” at Starbucks in Alto Palermo mall tomorrow from 5:30pm to around 8pm. It’s outside in the covered area, look for the largest table. That’s where we usually sit. Hope to see you there.

This is now over $ 1500 pesos...crazy.

Zentra but you should call them to check the delivery days/times. They are in high demand and go quickly.

See ya tomorrow...I may be bringing a dessert...maybe.

LOL, not “so many great experiences”...just that my experiences thus far (minimal that they have been) have been good. The worst was being overcharged on taxis. Uber has solved that issue. Again, hoping to hear good news on resolution from Jantango. Maybe now we can get back on topic.

The point of a "Rate My Professor" website is not to have some recourse. It is to spread the word about the good and the bad in order for consumers to make more informed choices. The real problem with this is the social aspect of recommendations by relationship...you are more likely to receive...

Keep us posted. Although my own experiences have encouraged me to adjust my expectations with regard to efficiency, I’m hoping you have a successful outcome with this issue. It’s one that could affect anyone, and a ray of light indicating more accountability would be great. I wonder if a...
