World really love to attend but work got in the way and I have to cancel my RSVP. Next time I'll work it into my agenda in advance. Have fun!

It's not technically a review app, but it has reviews - PedidosYa. I order in a lot using the app and I really love it, and the reviews are usually spot-on. And pretty much all of the restaurants on there are actual restaurants that you can go sit and eat in (many of them nice ones), not just...

You're probably right, there. :P I oversimplify. Getting in-depth is complicated. To follow the story, there is so much that has happened. I used to follow everything that happened in Venezuela extremely closely, then I realized I wanted to be happy and let go. It takes a toll. If you are a...

Yes to the benefits (I love OSDE...I think any American here will fall in love with the insurance and healthcare...) and august/december. Overall, it's not like I'm starving to death. Absolutely agree on the advertising. To South Americans, brands matter, and that's a huge deal. There have...

One good thing is I've started learning to cook the food I'd go out to a restaurant to buy. I just miss Southern cooking. I love Argentinean food, and I eat 99.99% Argentinean food. But sometimes there's nothing like buttermilk biscuits and gravy, or sweet tea. :P

It is a dictatorship-style government with very communist policies, disguised as a democracy. In Venezuela, he was often compared to Hitler because of his speaking style. This isn't me comparing him, it's me repeating what I've heard over and over. His speaking style has always been similar...

I had to have my documents stamped by the US Department of State, and my criminal records sent over from the FBI CJIS Division (this is all US-related, but I'm assuming the equivalent in Ireland will work for you). I had a private company here who do relocations do everything for me. I think it...

Huge misconception. Elections are rigged. Feeding the poor (teach a man to fish, feed a man a fish...) to get their vote is also done. Yeah, less hungry poor people. All the Naomi Campbell and Sean Penn stunts were a disgrace, supporting communism in Venezuela. Yeah, the government does charity...

. Bradly, absolutely hahaha, but I'm actually very multicultural. I was born in Venezuela to a European heritage, raised in the US since 5, and my parents live in Finland - rest of my family lives in Europe or Venezuela and some in the US. I've lived in Spain and spent summers in Scandinavia. I...

Thanks all for the advice. I understand, 20K is a fair wage by Argentinean standards. My VP, he is Argentinean but lives in Canada - but he's known for negotiating low. He knows how much he pays me and what it is here, because he is from here. I know that if I ask him to pay me in dollars...

Any legitimate American restaurants in Buenos Aires, apart from Kansas (not saying it's not, just want to know of other options)? I'm talking biscuits, cornbread, mashed potatoes and gravy. (What can I say, I grew up in the South :P ) Please, please no one say KFC.

Count me in. Thanks!

I've had luck finding things I can't find that I usually would buy at Fresh Market or Whole Foods in the Barrio Chino, at the big grocery store there is there near the entrance (forget the name), surprisingly - not the kinds of things that one typically would expect to find at a Chinese store...

Hello all, I was thinking of posting this in the jobs forum - but I'm not technically looking for a job, more of life advise from fellow expats, and I take it everyone here has a bit of experience with that in the Buenos Aires context. I'm a recent college graduate, and fresh out of graduating...

Hello Sean, I'm intrigued about job positions at Wunderman, especially as I have been researching firms here in Buenos Aires and it was one of the ones I was very interested in. I joined BA Expats for this same reason, so I'm happy to have seen your post. Unfortunately, I'm a recent college...
