By now, you have probably accessed old threads about teaching in Bs As, and have all the information you need, but if not here is a quick summary. It is only my thoughts from my experience. I'm sure others will differ. I've taught english in many countries; Thailand, Korea, China, Japan...

Many of the health clinics in Barrio Chino do reflexology too! About 2 months ago it was $65peso for 40 minutes. And you can do a combo of foot reflexology and back massage for a little more.

I love Entre Rios - it's a beautiful province. Concepcion del Uruguay is a nice little town (better in summer as it has the beach) And I like Federacion (further north) - very pretty and with the thermal pools. Good for this time of year! Enjoy

OK - i don''t know the whole deal - but who does?!!! I had a precaria and i registered with AFIP, got the necessary paperwork, and got my invoices printed (was great after 4 years of waiting) I have other problems - since then migraciones have cancelled my precaria and I have major...

This really concerns me. Anorexia is considered the only psychological disorder that can lead directly to death. You are literally starving yourself to death until your heart gives out. Why do you think anorexia is the only psychological disorder that directly leads to death? As a clinical...

About 6 weeks ago I bought a new phone. A very basic Nokia 1208 (no camera and no fancy extras) but the cheapest deal I could find - $140pesos. But I am leaving BA, so I am selling it - the phone with new charger (still in the packet) I haven't used it. With warranty, manual and box. Also, you...

I agree wholeheartedly with Mendozanow!!!! Don't have a package sent here. I had 3 packages sent over 3 years and none of them arrived - and they only had chocolate bars, gravy sactchets and a few treats from home. (I told friends not to send them but they did) Twice I got a notification in...

Confession - I'm not an Aussie - I'm from across the ditch. Yep the All Whites are there too and that's fantastic but without a realistic chance - so I'm keen to see the region do well and will join you to support the socceroos.

In answer to 'steveinbsas' - unfortunately they held me at the port for 24 hours - then cancelled my precaria - I then spent 6 months paying hideous amounts of money to avoid the deportation notice that was on my file (cause we paid to see my file so we knew it was there but it never got to...

I've been there and back on the same day many times - about 10. 95% of the time it's fine. To my knowledge, there is no rule/law about going there and back in 1 day. I have had some problems coming back in, but that's because I've lived here a long time so now they're getting difficult with me...

Don't know if it's a law - but for all it's worth - I couldn't change money on an expired visa either.

Hey Malvinas, I've got to agree with syngirl whole heartedly. If you're looking for cities to live in, you have to do some research beyond mere speculation. I've lived in Auckland - it's nothing like Liverpool (which I lived in and enjoyed) It's not a small working class city - It's huge and...

I respect your reply - it's very good and honest. But for me I have to say. I have lived here for almost 4 years and STILL my Argentinian friends say things like. "It's ok for YOU" or "WE can't afford that" And I have earned pesos for the 4 years I've been here, and the truth is......It's not ok...

Hey Alzinho I lived here for more than 3 years complaining that I couldn't find natural yoghurt. I wanted it to make raita for indian curry accompaniments, to eat straight and for other dips etc - and about 6 months ago someone told me where to get it - now I've found quite a few places...

Hey SaraSara - I've been struggling all my life to be popular - and who would have thought the good old 'Mum always had it in the cupboard at home - cheap as chips - Marmite' would be my answer. I'll cancel my ongoing therapy and invest in Marmite importation!!!:) If you're serious, of course...

Alzinho - sorry to hear about your attempted mugging. I've been here nearly 4 years and been robbed 3 times. Like you, I've lived outside my country for many years - including Asia and Africa where poverty and crime can be high - so I consider myself very aware and careful. I take several...

OK, I'll come clean! I've seen all the requests for marmite and I've been sitting tight, jealously protecting my stash! I have 2 spare jars in my cupboard (1 very little one, and 1 big one) happy to donate to the highest bidder - not in $$$, but for a reciprocal favour.....(a DNI would be nice...

Just go to Uruguay on the buquebus for a day. You'll have to pay the $300 penalty but when you re-enter they will give you another 90 days. The system was (unless it has changed - it changes all the time, and we all have different experiences) but if you've overstayed - migraciones in BA won't...

Toon Army!!!! but that's not gossip sorry - just good hard facts! Forgive the arrogance, but I've lived in football shame for many years now - so a little good news, sends me into orbit. Thanks for organising last Friday mate!

There's only 2 airlines to NZ. Aerolineas BA to Auckland direct. LAN BA - Santiago - Auckland. Aerolineas is considerably cheaper. Elhombresinnombre has the only other suggestion - it's not a popular one and comprehensive medical insurance is required
