I've been looking in vain, expecting something like the Hammam that I would go to in Cordoba and Granada in Spain. Nothing at all like it. I haven't heard many good things about Colmegna but maybe you can try it out and let us know. I sit in front of a computer all day, then go to the gym 6...

I'm in exactly the same situation. It sucks but that's the way it is. I was told tons of lies before coming here. Honestly, I wasn't happy until I just accepted it for what it was, because changing things here is like pulling teeth.

I feel like such a flake. My boss scheduled a conference call tomorrow for that time. Maybe next time :(

I'm just thinking about what happens in Venezuela and Colombia. I think the children should not be given names that in the future might put them in any kind of disadvantage, especially if the name will lead to discrimination. I don't believe in control, I just believe in mild protection...

I actually think it's terrible. Ask all the kids in other South American countries named Usnavy (yes, they saw it on a ship, named their child that, became a "thing"). Can't really say these are just two extremes. Oh, you know the fondness they have for anything in English here. And the fondness...

Awesome, I can make it to this one! Count me in!

Sorry the outlook everyone has given you is not great, it's not great hearing not-so-good news. But it's the stone cold truth. Fact is, you're not coming here for the money - I don't think any of us expats here are (if anyone is, please PM me immediately! :rolleyes: ). You might want to look at...

Sorry, feel like I'm blowing up this forum lately, but hopefully my posts help other people as well. I need advice on where to get a good, high quality CV picture taken. The idea of an image attached to my CV is very foreign to me, almost taboo. But it's required everywhere in the region and...

It might have been an alright salary a year ago, I believe, but by now, not at all. Still, you're making much more than any local college grad getting a job with even a multinational firm (or so locals have told me). But for someone coming from abroad, I do not think it is an appropriate salary...

Starbucks in Palermo Soho is where I work when I do home office. Internet is reliable. On the corner of Malabia and El Salvador. There is an Urban Station a block away as well. Both are good.

I got a look of pity one time when I said I relocated from the US to Argentina, "awwww, did it not go well for you over there?". Because obviously that's the only reason one would move to Argentina, if everything over there fell apart for me, obviously. :rolleyes: Nope, everything is fine over...

Due to my accent in Spanish, a weird Spaniard-Venezuelan mix with random flashes of Porteño. So I either get confused for Spanish or Venezuelan (not far from accurate as my grandparents were from Spain and was born in Venezuela). Because of my last name, sometimes I get confused for Swedish...

You probably lost them there. Ahahahaha. I remember living in Spain. There was a one size fits all policy there. I could ask for a mullet and would still end up with a faux-hawk. good times..

I think you're looking for Barberia La Época. Although not trend-setting, seems interesting and I like that they have a bar. Never been though. http://www.argentina...s-in-caballito/

The paypal suggestion is great, had no clue I could do that. Nope, PIN was not written on the back of the card - and either way, they'd have to present an ID and sign. I'm just lost as to how they managed to use it, really unsettling...

Long story short, my American debit card and my Argentine debit card were stolen - by the time I figured it out, my entire month's salary was spent at Paseo Alcorta (no idea how they managed without an ID, at a reputable mall no less, but already talked to the bank and will likely be refunded)...

Welcome! I like working at Urban Station. In Palermo Viejo on El Salvador. I like that they have desks with universal plugs, and bikes for when you're tired of working. Been looking for other good cafes to work that offer good wifi though. Bars, I tried one called Victoria Brown the other day...

Doesn't mean I don't love this place. In moving, I'm thinking of my finances and stability - purely. Can't blame me for being an opportunist. That's why I am here now. And while I'm on that, yes, the fact that Argentina is in the position it is in is what frustrates me - the country could be so...

With all due respect, sometimes when we as a collective criticize, and I'm assuming the original poster (being a person that lives here and came from abroad) is of a similar standpoint, it's out of a frustration for a country that we (again, using the word liberally and based on assumptions)...

Yeah, it definitely sounds really cool - and I might start working from home some days a week so that'd really work for me. How is the interview, what kinds of questions do they ask?
