I'm no Liberal (or Labor) fan, but given I get paid 70K for an office job I reckon Mums deserve 70K a year to look after their kids. Not that many women will be receiving the full 70K anyway as so few women in Australia earn 150K a year. They tend to save those jobs for the blokes, well...

Hi there, my family is visiting Bs.As. from 15 December until 4 January. I am searching for a three bedroom apartment in the Palermo or Colegiales barrios. I have a rental history in Bs.As. so I can provide a reference from my landlord if required. Please send me a PM if you know of anything...

It appears that Rudd's chances are becoming slimmer by the day. Looks like we're going to end up with the Mad Monk at the helm. May the force be with us all.

List of polling places released. We can vote at the Australian Embassy in Buenos Aires. http://www.aec.gov.au/election/downloads.htm#pp

Hi there, nice to meet you. When are you planning on arriving? I've found this site helpful for finding apartments to rent etc., so post a thread if you're looking for a place and odds are that someone will help you out. If you haven't visited before then I can tell you that BA is a great city...

The AEC say they will release OS polling locations closer to the election but that "Overseas voting centres are established at most Australian Embassies, Consulates and High Commissions around the world". One would assume this means the embassy here will have a polling booth, but we will have to...

I am from rural Australia. I grew up on a farm in rural Victoria where my parents still live. My family, like the rest of the population, had the two guns we owned compulsorily acquired. Rural Australia carried on like pork chops over the compulsory buy-back at the time ("the sun won't come up...

In Australia we had a mass shooting in 1996 where 35 people were killed and 25 more injured. It was a nation's worst mass killing ever and as such we made a decision as a nation to disarm our citizens rather than increase our arms. There was a compulsory gun buy-back where 700,000 guns were...

Hi there, I am seeking to rent a furnished apartment for four to five adults (one of us can sleep on the couch!) from mid-December to mid-January. Preferably in the Palermo area. Please contact me if you have a place available. Thanks, Kerrie.

Thanks, Nikad. I am not so worried about restaurants on Christmas day as we can cook for ourselves, I'm more concerned about things being closed for the week before or the week after Christmas day itself. Thanks again for your advice!

Hi there, my family are thinking of visiting us here over the Christmas period (arriving mid-December and departing early January). As they will need to come all the way from Australia I don't want them to turn up and find that all restaurants, shops and tourist attractions are closed over the...

Brain washed against owning fire arms? More like brain washed into thinking that you need to own one! To the rest of the world the USA looks crazy. In Australia we have very strict gun laws and consequently very few people own one. And guess what? We don't worry about our kids being shot at...

What a sad way to live! Of course people here can be trusted, some of the nicest things that I've ever witnessed have happened here. Yes, there are some people who do dodgy things, but that is not exclusive to Argentina. I've been robbed in Australia, I've had friends robbed in France, Italy and...

I'm off to the Iguazu Falls this week. I will be heading over to the Brazil side for a look as well. Does anyone know if I can get a return bus from Foz do Iguacu (Brazil) directly back to Buenos Aires? Also, does anyone know if I can book my return journey from a travel agent/bus company here...

Hi Akshara, Are you looking for a full-time or part-time nanny? Regards, Kerrie

Does anyone know of any doctors in the Palermo area?

Philadelphia cheese is in most Coto and Disco supermarkets in Palermo and in the big Jumbo too.

I went to San Antonio de Areco on the recommendations of many BsAs residents. To be honest, I didn't see what all the fuss was about. It is a nice enough town, but certainly doesn't live up to the fuss people make of it. It is quite tranquil as it is a small town, but apart from a short walk...
