oh man i would NOT recommend living there unless you were with kids (and even then I'm not sure I'd want that sheltered of a life) ... i went there once for a house party and it would be practically impossible to meet people in the huge mansions unless you already had a connection with a group...

i can confirm that Monday i withdrew 300 dollars in colonia, then another 200 dollars (my card limit is 500/day). long lines at atms though for whatever reason...

I am moving back to the US at the end of July and I love my BA apartment and the landlady is the sweetest. I want to help her find a new renter/inquilino. It is available on Aug 1st. Here are the details, PM me if interested! -Recoleta studio/monoambiente. Not sure of square meter size. -Two...

My landlady asked me if my parents could bring her a computer from the US after I'd been living here for a few months. I said no. We still have a great relationship. It isn't fishy. However, it is a risk for you. What if it gets stolen? The pro (gaining your landlady's trust) doesn't seem to...

also OP unlocking most phones is really easy. try to do it yourself (i'm no computer buff but it took me about 20 minutes total). this website works super well if it's a blackberry: http://freemyblackberry.com/unlockcode.php

im selling a great condition blackberry tour 9650 unlocked from the US. i've been using it here for a couple months on a data plan with claro but also would work with movistar and personal plans. 850 pesos (cheaper than mercado libre)

xoom has still been working for me but they have gotten really much stricter each time i come in. the past time i came in they questioned me for like 30 minutes about what i was doing here. they kept asking for more and more details... i should have just said i was a tourist (im a student). they...

Please send me a private message, thanks! (Preferably near Recoleta)

i tried to buy a flight with TAM through sao paolo a couple months ago. The layerover was 1.5 hours, getting in at 11;30 and leaving at 1am. After purchasing the flight, TAM calls me saying that I need a Brasil visa for staying a "whole day" because apparently if you cross over into two days...

this is a video of recoleta tonight http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhZIyRtmTdk

i would like to know it too. speed'may' was just for the month of may. Now that it's JUNE (ya??) there is probably a new one.

people here are so negative! there are plenty of great and honest workers in BA. everyone that has repaired something in my apartment has done the job on time and well, even shared their wives' homemade empanadas with me for lunch ja. (sorry i would pass on names but they are handymen my...

thanks, that is really helpful. is aduanas in eze or retiro? id rather just pay the fee than go to eze btw the package was sent USPS international express i think.. and does 'forfeit' mean it gets thrown away or just sent back the US?

Hi there, I got an 'aviso de visita' for a package of used coats and Orbitz gum sent to me from the US with an aduanas charge of 450 pesos... anyway, i guess the postal guy will be back again tomorrow with the package asking for the fee. Is there any way to lower this fee? It seems really...

Stafford - go for it. I did it last week at the More location on Libertad and Santa Fe near Piola. ZERO cola, was in and out in 3 minutes. Only needed passport. They asked me what the money was for and I said "soy estudiante"

go to Uruguay and withdraw a bunch of dollars there! The machines BROU (banco republica) allow withdrawals of us to $1000 USD at one time and the other BANRED/other types allow up to $300 but you can withdrawal multiple times.

I recommend United based on past experiences and bad experiences with the lines at Ezeiza on AA. Also NYC is going to have better shopping options for your wife than Miami- there are great sample sales as someone mentioned and the safe cheap prices at national stores such as Target or Forever...

You can still do it in Uruguay (though I'm not sure if you have to do Arg pesos to Uruguay pesos to USD which would be a horrible exchange rate)

thank you! but no one has ever seen plastic ones??

Hi! I'm hoping to organize an Easter Egg hunt for the kids I volunteer with. Anyone know where I can buy plastic easter eggs? Preferably near Las Heras y Pueyrredon. Willing to travel though!
