I think my son is the typical 'blend in' guy, he arrived here wearing cargo shorts or Diesel jeans, abercrombie Tshirts and all stars (converse). After 2 years he wore alpargatas, bombachas or Levis jeans, (even with 35 degree as he refused to exchange the cargo shorts for the swim shorts the...

Check the school, normally the school provides transfers through private mini busses. Mine don't go to Lincoln, but they are picked up at our door in the morning and dropped off in the evening. I am sure that is possible from Lincoln school too. Then you can live wherever you want in Capital and...

this is so true!!!!!!:eek:

Really??? She does not have to wash the dishes first? They go from the table straight in the dishwasher??? What brand? What type???

I KNOW!!!!!! :eek::eek::eek:

We brought our stuff in a container and had to leave our wine behind :(

Chocolates : there's Elite on Callao, and El Viejo Oso on montevideo. This is all Suisse style of chocolates. I have never seen the Belgian style "pralines". Bonafide is a lot better then the junk they sell in supermarkets, but too much sugar for my liking.

Good idea :-) but you cant bring more then the one or 2 bottles per person. Our wine is one of the few things we had to leave behind. With deep regrets...

There is some real good chocolate here in BA, believe me! I know! I am Belgian! :D and addicted!

In general, life is is still cheaper here then it is in Europe. Some things are cheaper, some are more expensive. Some things are better here, some things are worse. What I regret not bringing is a dishwasher, I have been doing some research (asked everyone who has one) and they all say they...

i would exchange as little as possible in ezeiza as the rates aren't good there.

The first year, my kids weer taken out of Spanish class and had private lessons. So no extra classes after school. Of course, this was put on the bill. School didn't offer that for free. But it was necessary. My kids are older, so they don't learn that fast anymore.

All food supplements are expensive, if at all available....

Well to be honest, I have been having it for 2 years now, I suppose prices might have gone up now :eek: Mine is unlimited : if I make international calls I get charged extra. My kids' is limited, if they use too much, they have to recharge their phone. We also have 3 free numbers to call and...

I pay 116 pesos per month, redes sociales illimitados, I think 100 giga data (well I never used it all and I am constantly on 3G), I don't remember how many minutes nor how many textmessages. They have a lot of different plans.

Why don't you check that in Lincoln school?

I know it it difficult to keep your original culture and language. My kids were already older when we moved (14-16) and they had to change from English 3th language to English first language, and learned spanish from 0. After 2 years my daughter still doesn't speak Spanish very well, but her...

up there can be a lot of countries ;-)

Schools depend on what you want (probably bilingue) and how important sports are. (some schools offer a lot, others don't). And of course, how much you want to spend.... Public schools usually don't offer bilingue. I can only speak of secondary schools, but public schools have 'half' program...

from where?
