Oh, forgot to mention, we meet starting at 7 PM!!

The European club will be holding it's regular conversation group meetings outside of the club this week. We will be meeting today (Monday) and Tuesday at Run Bar in San Martín 875. Today (Monday May 3rd), we have conversation groups in English, German and Portuguese. Tomorrow (Tuesday, May...

I completely disagree, taxis are much safer (on a purely statistical basis) than walking out at night to catch a bus or even standing out at the bus stop and even inside the bus (lots of muggings inside buses and ATM kidnapping). That doesn't mean that there wasn't a rapist taxi driver at some...

About a year ago I had a friend (a guy) from Barcelona living here telling me how shocked he was at how blondes (fake and real) got so much attention here. He also disliked the fact that guys were a lot more aggressive here than in Spain, in fact, he recalled a story where he almost got into a...

I tried a long time ago and it didn't work. I wound up going to the office downtown (Rivadavia and Florida) and pay in person.

maybe I'm missing something, but why not just order delivery from your a restaurant to your liking?

And even for small amounts, Moneygram is way cheaper. Moneygram is charging $10 for up to $899, but that is if you go in person to a moneygram office in the US. If you do it over the internet it is $25 (if you do it over the internet you can't do it from an IP address in Argentina, and you can't...

That is just one of them. He has kept most of his promises that didn't require congress. He kept the promise that keeps lobbyists from working in the administration on issues related to their prior employers for two years. He kept the promise to send at least two additional combat brigades to...

Incoming wires have to be in pesos by Banco Central de Reserva law in Argentina. Banco Piano has another way of transferring money which bypasses that Banco Central rule which involves using their own bank account in the US, and they will give you the money here, you have to trust them (I've...

A lot of expats have realized that the simplest and cheapest way to transfer money from the outside involves buying extra large underwear :)

I'm not sure I agree with syngirl's post. Guys with long hair is normal here, but purple hair is not. My argentinian girl friends tell me that argentinians are very harsh at criticizing and openly yelling at some girl who is different. For example one told me that she tried to wear a hat on the...

Thanks Pericles for organizing this, and thank you all for coming, hope everybody enjoyed it and if so, hope you call us for delivery. We are going to put tables and become a restaurant right after the Easter weekend. This gathering was a trial run for us. It was a great group of people. I wish...

A good paying entry programming job might get you $1,000 USD, but PC repair probably won't get you half of that. As for the cost of living, I know plenty of people that live here with less than $1,000 USD, but none are American, they are Argentinian or Europeans that have been here for a while...

The Shuz Bar (Beruti 4606, 1 block from subte Palermo) started selling bagels, as well as carrot cake, banana bread, zucchini bread and many other things that are hard to find in Buenos Aires a few weeks ago. Disclaimer: I am a partner in this business.

If ancient maps are the basis by which to call leaders terrorists, perhaps Arnold shouldn't be meeting with Obama either. Here is an ancient map of Mexico: http://www.philaprintshop.com/images/mitchmex47.jpg

You might have a legal case, I don't know, but we are in Argentina, most people here would let the cables go. In the US people often think of "private property", or "rights", over what is nice for your neighbors. If there is no other way to pass the cables to your neighbors (probably because it...

yes, byba opened recently. I am currently using my free 1 week pass. They have an interesting policy, if you purchase one class (at 55 pesos) the first time, you can attend for a week, as long as you don't stop. If you stop one day during that week, you loose it. I am not sure I completely like...

FYI, I told Pablo about the problem loading the map, and he fixed it now... here it is again: http://www.organicoopers.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/mapa.htm

the gremio of porteros is very powerful, they negotiated a big raise recently... now, having seen some very corrupt administration companies (including one I just recently threw out of my building), I wouldn't be surprised if some of those porteros have to pay back some of their salary to the...

My understanding is that having a CUIT might get you registered in some wholesale places, but not because they won't sell it to you wholesale otherwise, but because you can get the taxes back, and that is a completely separate issue. As bloody_bloo said, just like in the US, when you count...
