hey all. just been on the para ti (woman's mag) website and clicked on a fashion spread to get an idea of prices of clothes in the run up to my imminent move - this being one of my biggest passions in BA. i was frankly shocked as to how expensive everything was, even by UK standards, in fact...

as i said in a different post on a similar topic, magic centre club was amazing back in 2003 when i was a member there for 6 months, always treated me like royalty, LOADS of clases throughout the day, and much better than megatlon. i used to train there a few clases a day, couldn't fault it...

well i am thinking of being there for a year at least, if not longer. my ticket is open for a year so i'll review the sitution then. ok, earnings.....this neatly brings me on to another issue. i was looking into doing freelance medical secretarial and translation work online which pays well...

don't worry! and probably second rate coffee at that, going by the comments on this forum of argentina's woefully inadequate take on that caffeinated drink. my mother only has photocopies of her birth certificates, she says i would have to source one from records over there - census? i know...

thanks for the v v helpful info. one thing though, why would i need the birth certificate of my father if he's british?

ok so here's the thing. i am born to an argentine mother and english father, making me automatically entitled to citizenship and an argentine passport. i keep reading about the DNI and understand this is like a a personal ID number. i approached the argentine consulate here in the UK but they...

radio taxis pidalo and premium (owned by the same company according to a reliable source, my elderly grandfather) are always a safe bet, and cheaper than hailing a cab off the street. never had problems with them. a trusted local remiseria is also a safe bet. you should be able to avoid most of...

as i've been temping here in the UK on and off between uni and travel as PA or medical secretary, i wonder if work of that nature, or temping work in general exists in BA and if it's even worth my while if i can teach.....although judging from the feedback i had to my thread about realistic...

the 5 classes you teach - are they group sessions? how much is it per session, so that i get an idea of cost. thanks. any idea of when this official palermo soho bikram studio will open?

thanks. have emailed her already!

does anyone know if there is a centre in BA that has the facilities for bikram (hot) yoga? i have just recently started doing it in london and am completely hooked, going every day! i want to know whether it's something i can continue doing in BA. would love to hear from anyone who has done it...

i am a uk 8/9. i would recommend mishka or de maria (on las heras) every time.

ok. you want to steer clear of the tourist trap, glitzy gyms like megatlon. i have trained in gyms over the years since i was 22, and when i was in argentina living for 6 months, i was training the most of my life, doing 2 classes a day. i can thoroughly recommend magic center club, which is in...

there is a great restaurant in Begrano, a few blocks from cabildo and juramento which does pasta and sushi, weird combination i know but that's ba for you and all it's eccentricity. when i was last there we ate 'italian' but i hear great things about the sushi, and the sushi chef is japanese...

i'm afraid my guilty pleasure is starbucks coffee, and was worried i would miss my soy cappuccinos when i moved to BA. however, i noticed that they've recently inaugurated their first shop in the alto palermo shopping. has anyone been? how much for a cappuccino? are the prices astranomical? more...

yes, but i would also suggest belgrano as an ideal alternative. it's a lovely family orientated neighbourhood, above all safe, as there are people walking their dogs late at night so there's always people about, and it's probably a more bonafide porteno climate than being based in say, palermo...

i'm not talking run of the mill clothing the way you might envisage. i'm talking anything from the 20s - 90s, which one would deem 'vintage'. there are plenty of ferias/caritas over there, sales run by churches where clothes are sold at one peso or less, often old ladies heirlooms or people...

i run an ebay shop selling vintage clothing here in london, and want to pursue it in BA, sourcing lovely treasures locally, but concerned about the reliability of the postal system. my mother recently sent money carefully concealed in a letter to BA to a friend and it never arrived. would...

hi there i am anglo-argentine and have travelled to argentina every year throughout my life, and lived there for 6 months post the 2002 crash. i've been reading some of the post and it sems there has been an inevitable rise in the cost of living. i am signed up to do a TEFL course in...
