Anyone know of a decent fishmonger in Belgrano? I'm tired of going down to Chinatown and haven't been so impressed with the salmon there recently. I'm especially on the lookout for red tuna. I know its impossible to find, but that's what makes finding it all the better. Thanks!

Trinidad, without a doubt. A good friend of mine was in there for two weeks last month. We were very impressed by the level of attention he received. Argentine friends all say its one of the very best in the country. You'll pay for it though!

Just a word to the wise to fellow expats considering this seriously. Normally companies who benefit by hiring foreigners pay for the process of getting them their work visas. Also, $1,500 USD is extremely high. It would likely take you a couple months working on his farm just to recoup that...

Hi, I can highly recommend our cleaning lady, Alicia. She is very sweet, dependable, and honest. She is looking for more full time cleaning or nanny work, which she needs as a single mom to support her kids. If you are interested in meeting her, send me a PM or send me an email.

There is a dietetica on my street that just opened last month called "el lunes empiezo". The owners are Argentines who've just returned from living in LA for 15 years - so they speak perfect English. They've been very friendly and helpful to me. I am sure if they don't have what you're looking...

David, everything you stated above is correct. You forgot to mention however that the minimum wage is about $1,800 pesos / month. And that's for working five days per week up to 10 hours / day in addition to half day's saturday. Works out to about $2 - $3 per hour. Minimum wage in New York State...

Hi, I have a Canadian friend here who is obsessed with the Olympics. She doesn't own a television and has been desperately trying to watch the events online, but to no avail. It seems to be absolutely impossible with NBC and CTV blocking access to IP addresses outside the US and Canada...

Well tonight's the night...

The streets of Buenos Aires - or those of any major city for that matter - are generally speaking no place to make friends. People - especially women, perhaps - are on guard. Perhaps the more mature women seem to be "angry" when they are only looking out for themselves after years of experience...

Hi cabrera, Absolutely! I hope to see you there. Stafford

Hi everyone! My sincere apologies. I posted the wrong date ;( The event is on Friday, Sept. 25th Not Saturday... I do hope this still works for everyone. Again - my apologies for the confusion.

It's a restaurant. The idea is that we'll mingle a bit with cocktails first and then eventually sit down to dinner. (that's what happened last time at least). See you there!

oh - and please either respond to this thread or send an email to RSVP. We'd like to get a rough estimate of the number of people planning to attend.

Tonight's the night. No need to RSVP, just show up. Looking forward to it.

Thanks, Max for the head's up. That bank is very close to where I live, so it's good to know. All the more reason to go the American Express route I guess.

Thanks BSS. Send'em all our way!

Thanks for the enthusiasm, diego7david. See you there?

Join us for a casual get-together for GLBT expats this Saturday, June 13th at 9PM. The event will be held at Empire Thai on Tres Sargentos 427. Everyone is welcome. We are, as they say, 'hetero-friendly' too. Hope to see you there.

Guessing you must have been staying in Barrio Norte around the Facultad de Medicina?
