You're in luck. Buenos Aires is filled with cafes to write in. It all depends on what sort of atmosphere you're after. Where are you staying?

Oooh, don't get angry with me, but I prefer Sarkis. I like Iusef a lot and have eaten from there on many, many occassions (they also deliver), but I think Sarkis has the edge. Iuseff would be my second choice, above La Alhambra and the other Scalabrini joints. I have to admit that I don't go...

Haaa, yeah I have to admit my old tv was pretty damned old.

Depends on your TV as well. If you have an analogue TV it'll show up in black and white without a transformer. If your TV is HD, you'll most likely have no worries.

trennod - I came here for the exact same reason, so I totally understand your motives! How's it working out for you here? I got married on 2010, so I'd encourage anyone to do that - as long as they know what they're getting themselves into! hannstew - That sounds like a seriously interesting...

Yeah, I love the work. The company is based in the USA, so I work online with an agency based here. I managed to wing it so that I could work from home, rather than the office. How do you find the work environment here? Do you work with Argentines or fellow expats?

If you don't mind me asking, did you come here with the job or did you get it here?

Hi All, I'm sorry if this has been asked before in another thread but I've never seen any similar discussion (I admit, I haven't trawled through every possible thread in the search bar). We seem to have quite a diverse and distinguished bunch on this forum with a lot of different backgrounds...

Wow - my expensas are 800-900 per month. I must be getting ripped! Anyway, I agree with most of what you say in your assessment. And if we talk in a year, I'm sure there wil most likely be a 50% rise on much of it.

Don't knock the wachiturros! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTcMXdsHPp0

I second piratebay. Coupled with Vuze = perfect combo.

PayPal doesn't allow local transfers for the moment, but hopefully in the near future they will. They are expanding their Latin American operation and have just started allowing transfers to local accounts in Costa Rica.

My in laws had a load of homeopathic medicines stopped in customs and they weren't allowed to bring them home. When they complained they looked at the back of the packet and said, 'what's the problem, you can get these ingredients here, just make it yourself'. Hopefully you'll be lucky...

Many more expats in Barrio Norte and Palermo. I would say it's generally a nice place to bring up kids, as well. Of course, that depends on what you want for your kids! If you're used to city living, I don't think this part of the country holds too many surprises apart from the obvious gripes...

Truly disgusting, truly tragic. A park full of people, broad daylight and it happened so quickly that nobody could do anything. So, so sad. I mean, it's a camera for f%&s sake.

Yeah, it seems like the neighbours are saying that they think it was a regular group who work the area looking to rob people. They say it happened at 8.30 in the morning. I mean, i've been down there to take photos on a few occasions. Brings it home a bit.

Yaaaaawwwwwnnnnn.

Pretty stupid chatting like that on twitter.

Make that 3!! Man, you're good.
