The prices are listed under services on the website, but they seem to vary. For an all-over color, wash, deep conditioning treatment, another wash, cut, and blow-dry, it was 201 pesos. With the currrent exchange rate, that's $59.11 US. For all that, it's pretty reasonable.

Just about every day, I hear from my porteña housemate about new rape and assault cases happening in these areas. I've even seen pictures of the suspected "violador serial" taped on people's doors. So, from what I understand, women should be especially careful what with this dangerous suspect...

Uh, I have health insurance and live with a doctor and all, but I still don't know much about this stuff. I'm a big fan of Seasonale. Saves me a lot of pain, and it comes in the form of a three month supply, so you only have to get a new pack four times a year. Can you get it here? According...

This has been very helpful. Now, where is it that you can get these large amounts of pesos exchanged for U.S. dollars?

I went to Cerini as well. I ended up with an amazing color and a nice trim as well. My hair is saved. And there are some people there who speak English, which is helpful because the last thing they teach you in Spanish class is how to describe hairstyles. A very nice place.

I've been searching for a teaching job, too. Most of the places I've seen are located in Microcentro, so if you're going to be working there, Recoleta is closer than Palermo. Good luck!

I've never been to Paris, so I wouldn't know. When I lived in Spain, I was just naturally turned off by the prospect of having to deal with getting around in foreign countries where I would definitely be labeled as a foreigner. In Spain, most strangers I met couldn't tell I was American...

I'm hearing all the time from the porteñas that the city is not safe, not even in Recoleta or Barrio Norte. So, the advice I´ve followed is not to enter the apartment building if there´s anybody besides the portero hanging around near the door. Because sometimes criminals pretend that they...

Also, I find that they use a lot more keys and locks here. My apartment has four locks on the door and an alarm system. That is impressive, because I've been living or keeping more than half my stuff in my parent's house for eight years, and I still don't have a key for any of the six exterior...

For starters, I used to live in the country. The great thing about the beginning of southern Maryland (Anne Arundel Co.) is that you can live in a big house out in the country, surround yourself with nature, play loud music and have parties without the neighbors calling the cops, and still be...

Hi. I have to print out copies of my resume/Curriculum vitae to get a job. I've had some negative experiences in locutorios before. For example, I once spent an hour using the internet and couldn't print out any of my research because the printer was broken and they only had one printer. In...

The agency I used when I traveled around Argentina was Argentina Escapes. The advantages are that you can design your own itinerary. They can book your flights, hotels, and any excursions you might want to go on. And they have staff that speak English.

I read Haruki Murakami's Kafka on the Shore several years ago. My copy of the book is in the U.S. I thought it was very well-written. Murakami's books have always interested me, but the character of Nakata I think is one of the best he's ever come up with. I especially liked the fish falling...

I am hoarding my monedas as much as possible, although this guide I have for the buses still does not make much sense to me.

I got my certification at TEFL International here to teach English. I've gotten some job leads already. I have a list of at least two dozen companies and institutes that hire native English teachers. There are lots of companies out there that want their employees to learn English, so there is...

Next time I go to the states, I can bring some boxes back with me.

Dang! I should have brought more Tampax from home! If I had more, I'd sell them for real cheap.

That sounds good. I do enjoy cooking. The thing that throws me off is that things come in different kinds of containers and have unfamiliar names, and my kitchen is really small. I like making soup, pasta, chicken or turkey sauteed in something or other as long as I don't burn them. Really...

This is a tough dilemma. Since I've lived here for less than two months, I don't know much about this either. There are services online that let you make your own Christmas cards, then, they print them out and mail them for you.

Thanks! Now I know what to look for the next time I go grocery shopping.
