This is has been the norm since the US airline industry was deregulated in the late 1970s (yeah I know we're not in the US, but they set the standard). And it's all about marketing. Deep discounted fares (what the majority of us are fortunate enough to purchase when we can plan ahead) are most...

My partner Fernando Romero offers classes at our apartment in Belgrano (although the map says we're technically in Palermo). Subte Olleros. About 15 mins from Palermo Soho. He's posted in the classified section.

Tuesday is the real holiday, but they've made Monday a holiday too in order to make a nice long weekend. How nice that must be for people who have local jobs.

Yeah, I really shouldn't care, but something about it just annoys me. I'll be absolutely livid the day I can't bring my iPhone in because some dumb ass with a US passport gets caught at Aduana with 8 iPads in their original boxes. Seriously, dude. Get a real job! Or at least be a little more...

No, what I am saying is that its smuggling when your intent is to bring in a lot of things to sell. If the items are legitimately for your personal use, then that's not contraband. How is that so hard to follow? Oh and I don't wear panties and my parties aren't in a bunch.

No one agrees with me that OP would be doing the rest of us a major disservice? Why are people even bothering to help this person?

Oh how I long for the days when Chicago was on this list ;-/ Home company is based there and I used to take it regularly. I remember a few flights towards the end, everyone had a row to themselves. General boarding called all at once. I remember saying the the gate agent the last time I took it...

I should tell you that it's impossible and that you'll get a full body cavity search. But I will reluctantly tell you the truth. Very few of us with US passports who live here have had great difficulties. If your intention is to bring it down, avoid paying taxes, and then sell it - then...

Hi all, I've been following this thread with some growing curiosity since someone mentioned the "Canasta de la Semana" deal where you get a basket of goods for $50 pesos. I'd never heard of that and have no way of judging whether its a good deal just by eyeballing it. Since I'm sort of a geek...

I feel partially responsible because I was the first to respond to your original question and may have set a rather snarky mood. As for BigDaddy, I have no idea, I just went with it. So sorry to tease you. I know people who have lived in Barracas and really like it. I'm sure you'll have a good...

Add a restraining order to the list... Or go for it, what the hell. I wouldn't make any commitments unless he has a webcam though.

this thread is turning dirty!

Don't forget to pack a sharp kitchen knife.

Thanks for sharing. That looks like a good recipe, but my god how tedious! I don't know if I'd have the patience. Sounds worth it though, right?

Mon, Apr 9, 2012 at 10:47 AM Dear Stafford, Thanks for your e mail and for the insight into the global reach of our brand!! I think the only way to handle a shipment to Argentina would be for our American distributor to quote on cases of cans going by courier or air freight. From experience...

Very very much agreed. It's half a block from our apartment and we absolutely love it. Pablo, the headwaiter is very nice as well. We were in Mendoza eating at "Siete Cocinas" and something about it seemed similar to Pura Tierra. It was very much unique, but just something seemed to remind us of...

Bruce, I've read on your company website that you are the man to email about getting Barritts in unusual locations. Down here in Buenos Aires a forum thread has started on the subject among some of us expats. (http://baexpats.org/food-drink/20886-ginger-beer.html) I spent the first half of...

We've just got home from the Bahamas a couple weeks ago and when I read this I thought I was still there for a second. Damn! Yes, it was Goslings and Barritts Ginger Beer. About 1/1 ratio on ice ;-0 From this page, it looks like you can email them for "other information or questions on...

My partner is a private spanish tutor who has taught some other people on this forum. He is very reasonable, considering he is gaining experience while studying at the top teacher's college in BA. As of April 2012, his rate is $35 pesos / hour. Here is his site: http://spanish-tutor-ba.com/

I can also recommend my partner, Fernando. He is a Spanish Tutor studying Language and Literature at the Joaquín V. González teachers college. We live in Belgrano. He's great with kids! A number of BA Expat Forum members have been his students, so he can provide references too. Here's his...
