funny, just today I was looking into my return trip to BA next summer -after my 3 months in the UK are up - by cargo ship, then found out it would be 28 days, with not that many creature comforts. talk about cabin fever! on the plus side i would come out of it 1) very well read 2) a nice...

thanks for those record shop details, much appreciated. miles has been there for a while, but i only recalled cds the last time i went. any idea what they're pricing stuff at? i bought a macbook a few weeks ago and am putting all my cds on there, then bought myself a soundburger - AMAZING...

i don't doubt there's good stuff going on. one of my best friends over there used to dj at kim y novak which i know used to play some left field stuff but no doubt it's been 'palermo-izado' since the last time i was over. cumbia is ubiquitous. it's always been around since my holidays in my...

...which is what i feared. i'm sure that there are other avenues to explore, in both senses, as i'm asuming you're referring to avenida corrientes, and i'm sure that off the beaten track there must be some little shops selling vinyl for cheaper. i guess i'm just going to have to go on the...

i hate the habit of 'bumping' threads but any input on this would be really appreciated/gratefully received. thanks.

i have a question...are there any other vinyl heads here on the forum? only i am deliberating as to what to do with my rekkids. i have decided to put all my cds on my laptop and bring a select few rare 'bits' that are let alone hard to find in the uk to play on my portable record player. i have...

that is hilarious! my name is also vanessa and i met my current running partner, another vanessa, through a forum for east london life, we run in hackney, london. we've been running now for nearly two years, and i will be looking to find a regular running partner for when i am in buenos aires...

ha, if that's the case then i'd better get my skates on and get a supply before i leave. here in the uk on the nhs i could get a years supply (and for free! ) of my pill - which i would bet money on not being able to get hold of over there, most pills mess me up but the triphasic pill works best...

hey all there are five weeks to go til i move to BA. however, two weeks ago, a bit of one of my molars came out, most likely due to my phobia of dentists (i haven't been for 10 years! so ashamed) due to some bad orthodontal experience in my teens. i am now 28. i am getting a bit of...

silly me, I MEANT NATIONWIDE. i know, been reading all the depressing financial news here in the UK and the various ramifications of this so called credit crunch. why do you think i'm leaving?

it pains me to think that in 2002/3 i rented a wonderful bijous parquet floored batchelor monoambiente (con bano aparte), in a modern portered block in a nice street in belgrano for all of £650 ($1300) in total for 6 months.

argentina is one of the world's largest producers of soya! it took me all of 2 minutes, from the uk, to track down soya milk in argie, ades does a natural version, as in straight up soya milk (although i personally like the fruit versions, an acquired taste) and disco supermarkets stock it...

now i know to bring a year's supply of tampax super WITH APPLICATOR (any other option seems unthinkable) so thanks for the tip/reminder (i remember now having had the same problems on previous trips) but p-lease, enough of these gross detailed narratives of bad personal hygiene, foreign objects...

i wonder if they do soya capuccinos at the BA branch or whether they cater for local tastes/demand? would be interested to know...

and if you have time before you leave, open an account with Halifax. they do not charge for international ATM withdrawals. handy.

yeah, but i don't suppose soya caps have caught on over there though. i have weaned myself down to one a week in preparation, and it's probably a good thing they haven't proliferated argentina, it breaks the bank!

i have worked as a medical secretetary in many departments (specialities include rheumatology, neurosurgery, ENT, ophthalmology, radiology, gynae etc) and personal assistant to a very important medical oncology department in a highly revered and very busy london hospital latterly, over an...

katia, i've sent you a private note. :)

the thing is, i think the designers have some good ideas, and i love the clothes as concepts, it's the execution of the garment that lets them down (and the hefty price tag). i am thinking of bringing a suitase of clothes with me but do intend to buy over there, now with perhaps more trepidation...

believe me, i am an expert on the subject. i exported 5 designers from the buenos aires fashion week to sell in london. the quality is not up to scratch you are right and the cost of a garment does not automatically signify quality, by an stretch. a lot of the stock i bought had flaws and it was...
