*Sigh* I'm guessing that this isn't all just an elaborate Halloween prank? Not cool >:(

That, or you can also check out the open Facebook group "Dolar Blue," which has the range of different prices as well as what individual people are willing to pay for blue dollars locally: https://www.facebook.com/dolarblue

There's a reason why Starbucks are popping up all over the city and are almost always full of customers... Yes, it's incredibly expensive, but it's a Yanqui business, where understanding of customer service is a barista requirement. I would know- I worked as a Starbucks barista in college, and...

Hey, fellow BA Expats, Very few people in my life know that I was gravely ill as a child with Lyme Disease for years. Doctors predicted that I would have permanent neurological and arthritic damage, and would lose my ability to walk, amongst other horrible complications. I am incredibly...

This open Facebook group is very good for when you want to buy/sell dollars or euros with no middle man involved. Just individual people who want to trade foreign currency for pesos (I've used it a few times myself): https://www.facebook.com/dolarblue

To the OP, I have been teaching EFL for 6+ years in Buenos Aires. The first thing that I would tell you is that I have never come across an institute that pays a decent, living wage. If you are set on attempting to teach English here, I would work freelance. Teaching EFL here is not an easy...

Yeah, we apparently have a bus strike starting at midnight tonight for 24 hrs :( (http://www.lanacion.com.ar/1796334-la-uta-anuncio-un-paro-de-24-horas-para-manana) It will affect all buses - Short, medium, and long distance. Just a heads up!

Hi, ya'll, I want to take up my old hobby of jewelry making. I know that there aren't really "craft stores" per se in Buenos Aires, but wanted to ask if anyone knows of a place where I could buy clasps, wire, seed beads, regular beads, etc. apart from Mercado Libre. Any/all leads are...

Post tenebras, spero lucem ("After darkness, I hope for light").

"Migration is a good thing, so long as it is voluntary. I believe in the free movement of people. But that’s not to say it doesn’t have a price. I have choices that most of the world’s migrants don’t have. I can go back. And I’m happy where I am" ... I recently came across this article in...

Sunset from our balcony on Avenida Cabildo....

If you live near Nuñez or Belgrano, I absolutely recommend empanadas from La Guitarrita (https://plus.google.com/104589393253982072933/about?gl=ar&hl=en). The dough that they use is delicious, not crumbly or tasteless like some other places, and their beef doesn't come with gobs of icky fat...

Hi, Serafina! I am part of a Facebook group, Profesores de Ingles de la Republica Argentina (https://www.facebook.com/groups/eltargentina/). Although I cannot personally help you regarding your question, I am certain that several people from that group could give you useful answers. Hope that...

Cool! I'd totally be up for that! Apart from my hodge-podge Vagrant Violet blog, I am currently attempting to write a novel, and would love to receive feedback and meet other writers. Meeting in Belgrano also works for me, as I live in Nuñez. Please keep me posted!

If you will have internet access during your trip, you might want to consider joining the open Facebook group, "Dolar Blue." There, you will find posts from people in all parts of Argentina who want to buy or sell foreign currency. Almost all of the people who use the page are "particulares."...

Try this website: http://english.quierobagel.com/ I have ordered from them a few times, decent customer service and products.

Hello, Jessica! I just sent you an email with my own personal C-section story in Buenos Aires. Feel free to email me back if you have any more questions, suerte! :)

After living in Argentina for nearly 6 years, I am definitely not the same person that I was when I arrived. Argentina has changed me for the better in the sense that I am a lot less strung-out and more patient when it comes to sweating the small, daily stuff. If someone arrives late, or if...

I do NOT miss: * A lack of employment. * Doubting if I can afford to go to the doctor, dentist, etc. due to not having health insurance (or very poor coverage).
