I'm also Canadian (Montreal) and the first time I went to BA I did not do any research… and was therefore gouged at the ATM. I'm with CIBC in Canada. I paid $5 CDN per ATM transaction to CIBC plus approximately $5 CDN in Argentinian bank fees. If I recall (this was two years ago), the daily...

OMFG. I am watching The Tango Lesson right now and I have never seen such a horrible movie. Well, maybe, but this is absolutely wretched.

I don't think they expire. I didn't use mine for six months and it was fine.

I have this really bad habit… it's a weird pattern. When I land at EZE, the first thing I do is buy a pack of Marlboro Red ("box"). I usually end up smoking for two weeks and then buy the patch and/or gum and/or the pastillas. And so I quit. And remain a non-smoker for quite some time...

I just bought the nicotine patch, sadly for myself. It cost about 300 pesos for 21 patches (3 weeks worth).

That would be me! I'm blushing… a charming young lady!!! And yes, I have two 600 ml cans of Sirop d'érable pur (Pure Canadian Maple Syrup). I hope to bring it by later today or tomorrow. (Yesterday was not the best day for me, I think I drank a bit too much wine the night before...)

I just sent you a PM! Thank you!!!

Thank you!

Yes, so… where is the best place to buy a cheap, full-length mirror? Maybe around 200 pesos? Centro/Recoleta would be best! Thank you =)

What about laundry mats where I can do my own laundry? I vaguely recall seeing one… but that was a long time ago and I don't remember where that was.

I want to come tooooooo!!!!!

I would love to go to attend an orphan dinner! I think it would be alot of fun...

This happened to me as well-- my iPhone was also stolen from my zipped up purse. And one thing I've noticed is that people keep stealing my subte cards! Like, one every two weeks. Granted, I sometimes stupidly put them in pocket after using them (instead of in my zipped up purse, lol) so I...

I hope you have a book club meeting in December (I'll be back in BA)… but I just checked, the last Wednesday of the month is Christmas Day. Maybe I can make it to the one after…

That's not very encouraging. What about a hotel bar or something along those lines? For the fireworks? Tango classes maybe? Or should I just wander around the empty streets? It might be a good day to take photos as I won't be as worried about my camera being stolen =)

I'm going to be in BA for Christmas also and I'm assuming that I will be spending the day alone (I don't have any family there). Any suggestions as to what I might do on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day?

I don't really have any super-close friends in BA either, in part because I don't live there year-round. But still, I don't find meeting people to be that difficult. As already mentioned, take some language classes. You will definitely meet other ex-pats if you go to a language school. Or...

I studied French and German in school (ages 10-18) and German and Spanish in university. I live in Quebec but my French is actually quite horrible, all things considered, and I've been studying Spanish somewhat intensively over the past year and a half. I have no illusions about ever being...

Here is a link for the Buenos Aires Dance Club/Escuela de Baile. There doesn't seem to be Cumbia listed, but they have salsa, bachata, kizomba, Korean pop (!), zumba, axe, rock, swing, etc, etc. I've never been although I keep meaning to go... It's at 732 Florida. http://www.badanceclub.com.ar

Hi Julie... I also live in Montreal and spend quite a bit of time In BA (maybe half the year). I'll be arriving again on December 15th, maybe we can get together. As for work, are you Francophone? If so, I might be interested in conversation classes (I'm an Anglo and I'm trying to become...
