    Do Not Forget, Wednesday October 27, National Holiday for Census

    I have the acutal census survey that they will use. I have printed it and done if for myself - I will give it to a neighbour, the do my own thing for the day. I tried to post it on BAExpats but it wouldn't work, so if someone is willing to accept it on personal e-mail, I will send it and you can...

    Bus travel to Santiago

    Whenever I go to Santiago I always stay at La Chimba Hostel http://www.hostelbookers.com/ I stayed at many others before - some ok, but not fantastic - this is good, clean and safe - in my opinion.

    Visa for Brazil at Iguazu

    I don't know the etiquette or sneaky ways - but as an Aussie, you must get/but a visa for Brazil - that is the law. Buy the visa in advance and you can get over easy

    Unusual places for guests?

    Mini, I'm a long time Palermo dweller - and I have been to this feria many times - and it's great. It's not swanky or up market, but it's quite cool to see what's on offer. There are gaucho exhibitions, horse racing down the street, local food on offer (regional food from the north of Arg...

    Anybody see the Eat,Pray,Love movie?

    Thanks for the review, didn't have much ganas to see the movie anyway as I read the book and it was a pile of trash too. So, cheers for this, won't bother with that either.

    Wtf?

    Yes, this is a very famous case. Every psychology student has studied it. (Usually in the first year) And I'm a psychologist - so I know this case very well. But wait until you are the recipient of a knife at your throat on the subway (the subway that you take every day) and maybe you will...

    Wtf?

    I will tell you why logic doesn't come into the situation. I'm a foreigner, and 3 years ago I saw some thieves on the subway. I quietly told the passengers around me, but then they started going into the pockets of other passengers so I said aloud : be careful, there is a theif here: Well...

    Bus to EZE

    For sure it takes about 2 hours - maybe a little more. But I've taken it many times and it's fine. If you are going to meet someone and you have no luggage - it's perfect.

    Laptop repair specialist for IBM & Apple Mac

    A year ago, my laptop died and after many attempts at Galleria Jardin, I couldn't get help - or reasonably priced help. So, I abandoned all hope and resigned myself to the fact that I had lost my information. After searching this site, today I met with Ricardo ([email protected]) I...

    Lovely Kitten needs a home

    Hey Orwellian, yes I understand that you are vegetarian - and I commed that, but please, don't confuse things. Anushka, Sarasara, Ashley and citygirl were all unanimous in supporting the fact that you shouldn't take on an animal if you don't have the resources. Actually, I think all of their...

    Husband of President Cristina Kircher 'controls' Argentina

    Whether this is true or not -- who knows. But, if you're going to live here for some time you absolutely must follow the politics here - it determines every day living in Argentina. If you can't speak spanish, make sure you get the 'Buenos Aires Herald' because it will at least give you the...

    Overstay fine and EZE

    Sara is absolutely right. You have to pay it wherever you leave. I have paid it at Buquebus - it's much easier than Ezeiza. At Buquebus, they tell you that you have to pay it and you walk about 50m and pay it in 5 minutes (very easy, no problem) At the airport you have to go to the other end of...

    New rentista visa requirements

    A predictable textbook insult in return. I'm a silly bird, you don't care about my opinion and I'm hypocritical - with the obligatory lol. To the original poster - I hope you find some reasonable responses to your information. Because, yes it can be difficult to find the right answers to...

    New rentista visa requirements

    I don't think the OP posted here to receive your subjective opinion on whether he should be or deserves to be here. He gave information on his experience today, and asked for any further info people had on this matter. I'm sure individuals can decide their fate for themselves without you telling...

    Why Argentines don't look for new friends

    Hey, you're not being bad. It's just how it is here. I lived in Bs As for almost 4 years and made a lot of local friends. But this year things went bad for me with family (a terrible tragedy) and my own health was very bad - and when this happened my "Argie friends" ran for the hills, rather...

    Sunday nights

    Definately not as busy - but yes, most are still open. I always like to go out to a bar on Sunday night - to dull the dread of working again Monday morning. The boliche scene is much less I'm told - but I don't do that - but I love to go to Gibraltars sister bar - (Bangalore) and have some...

    The joys of english teaching in BA!

    Sorry for your bad situation - but for sure - it has become more difficult this year. Personally, I have always had a lot of work here - more than I have hours in the day to teach - and still had to use savings to cover expenses (so good for you on that one) So, last year I started actively...

    Argentines or Argentinians?

    Previously I refrained from replying to this thread as I knew it would end up with 'no you're wrong' type responses. But this is how it is. Sorry Lucas, Mini is correct. Historically the word Argentine 'in english' was used to refer to something made of silver or with a silver like...
