I'm not having a go, but it's a little difficult for you to argue that Argentinians take criticism really well, when you seem to be having such a hard time with it in this thread... just a thought ^_^

I watched that show. Kinda sad to see. I had thought Argentine's were all skinny-obsessives. Turns out it's the fattest country in South America.

You've got my vote for forum president.

Ah, my post has finally been approved! Anyway, the queue today for KFC went down from the third floor to the bottom floor of Alto Palermo. Remember the pics of MacDonald's opening in Moscow? Worse. Two hours queues for a chicken zinger. I reckon it's worth waiting a week.

Many thanks! A good butcher is worth its weight in gold.

Mate, you gotta share the info on your butcher! Where do you live? I spend half an hour picking the feathers out of the chicken my local shop sells.

Time Out's a good one. I worked with them for a couple of years. They're good people.

Welcome to Argentina. What area are you in? There are a ton of good places to go out. If you head to Palermo Hollywood you can walk for hours and find cafes, restaurants and bars all over the place. For someone wanting a good intro, I'd recommend Congo (a bar with a great garden) on Honduras...

It takes positive and negative viewpoints to stay informed. And, I'd hazard a guess, other people 'venting' has stopped me slipping up more times than people telling me how great something is. When a member of the Buenos Aires Pub Crawl staff was attacked, there were plenty of negative posts...

There are some foods that you miss when you're abroad - that can't be helped. When I'm in London I'd probably like to have a restaurant/bar or two from Argentina. The same goes the other way.

OK, so I'm writing here as the thread I tried to open has gone to the mods (maybe they don't like chicken or are worried for your health). KFC and Wendy's opened today in Alto Palermo. I know that probably means nothing to people who are travelling through, but for someone who's been here a...

Love them or hate them, both KFC and Wendy's opened their doors in Alto Palermo today. http://www.facebook.com/WendysArgentina?ref=ts&fref=ts http://www.facebook.com/KFCArgentina?ref=ts&fref=ts I'm off to get a bucket.

Sometimes, when loads of people agree on something, they have a point. You don't have to agree with that point, but I think it's fair to say (in this case) the negativity didn't spring out of nowhere.

3 of my favourite boxers. Much respect.

Hiya Posie, The criminal record check is a 2-step process. First, get the criminal record check. 2nd, get it apostilled. The best place for you to go is disclosurescotland for your criminal record check. You can pay online and send them photocopies of your supporting documentation by email...

A friend of mine did Britain's Next Top Model out here a few years back. Had all sorts of problems trying to negotiate with locals for a house and just about everything else (price hikes aplenty). Hopefully it goes a lot smoother for you!

Indian pizza is by far the best.

Should put that on the adverts for the KFC opening in Alto Palermo this month. Argentines love a bit of offal.

You're not going to get 12,000 for an iphone. 8,000 is more realistic and even that makes you a fair bit of profit (well, I hope it does, for your sake). Yeah, I'm not sure what the OP's getting at with the cuotas point either. People buy with cuotas on ML mainly because they can't afford to...
