My best mate is leaving Argentina for good tomorrow. He is also a foreigner and has been crashing at my place for the few past days. Yesterday, at around 5 in the afternoon, he left on his bicycle to run an errand and did not return when I was expecting him to. I believed he might have gone off...

How about you set some time every week to get a clue about technology? You can learn so much about coding and spreadsheet programs for free on the Internet. There are no excuses! http://www.noexcuselist.com/

Sucks about your phone, friend. I'm glad you just "lost" it and didn't have to go through any violent confrontations for it. This need happen only once. Be extra careful about your new phone and if there's not reason to have it on you one day, leave it home. You'll be surprised how fine you can...

If we're talking about the dollar at official rate, I estimate about $225-$350 (dollars) a month in food if you shop wisely at supermarkets and never eat out. The way I see it, a rented room in a shared apartment would cost at most $450 (dollars). A studio for yourself we're talking at least...

Tienda León will throw in a taxi from their shuttle stop in Retiro to your apartment. I've gone to and from Ezeiza many times with them, have had my family ride with them and have never had a problem. I don't recall their current prices but they are way below what you would pay for a taxi.

Welp, I'm Latin American, so there wasn't that much of a culture shock when I came to Argentina 4 years ago. Three things that living in Argentina changed in me: 1- I learned to live without a cell phone. I finally got over the crédito system and got a mobile plan, but I haven't gotten around...

El aura, El abrazo partido, and Historias mínimas are my favorites.

La Maquinita in Palermo Soho could also help: http://www.lamaquinita.co

Hey, if you don't mind paying a bit, you've got some nice co-working spaces such as Office Station and La Maquinita, both in Palermo Soho. I personally love La Maquinita. You've got good front desk service, free coffee, beer after 18h, and many people with different backgrounds to talk to when...

Anyone who has cared to ask assumes I'm Colombian because I am always around Colombians. Now, back where I'm from, I've been called everything from Venezuelan to Polish, even before traveling abroad. Guess I've always felt like a foreigner no matter where I go.

"Estoy contracturado/a."

Hey, there's one over at Palermo Hollywood. They are tattooed, take good care of beards, and do haircuts as well. They also have a bar and sandwiches, and a nice Spanish girl at reception (at least I think she's still there). Check it out! Salón Berlín en Humboldt 1411 (con Niceto Vega)...

I feel your pain. Whenever I think about going to the supermarket, my brain is immediately filled with war flashbacks.

Real native English, not "native level", learned in a 2-year course English. The job can get kinda tedious at times, but the workspace is really rad. Anyways, read the info and reply to the ad on craigslist if you wish. Good luck! http://buenosaires.craigslist.org/ofc/4940778700.html

Professionals have their styles, be it realist, graphic, asian, pinups, etc. It's best to check out what style you like and then later find professionals who have said style.

So kids shouldn't ask their parents for help? Parents should pretend to know things when they don't? Adults can't ask for help either? Dude, what. Did your parents not help you with homework? Were they the sort of parents that did not believe in school and had you milking cows at the age of...

Hey, I don't defend cheaters, but it's perfectly fine to ask if you need help. It's not like he wrote down the whole exercise. The important thing is to learn so he can do it on his own next time, which is why I explained it above.

That's right. In the case of the first answer pedírmelo, me would be complemento indirecto and lo is complemento directo.

I overstayed by a day once. Could not leave Argentina until I paid the fee. Decided to overstay a few months and pay just before an international flight. I have heard of others who are looking to go to Colonia only to find out in the check-in that they have last left Argentina 91 days ago. They...

My best mate is leaving Argentina and is selling his beloved fixie. It's in great condition since he's been in love with it. The track style bike has a brand new crank and crank set, an All-City brand rear hub brought in from the US, and cool colors. Here is the link to the ad on craigslist...
