Private classes are the way to go if you're serious about learning the language. James, if you're interested, PM me for the info of the tutor I used. He's a native speaker of course.

A sequence of options 5 and 4.

Check out any bigger gyms, they usually have masseuses on stuff with reasonable rates. That's what i did.

Any reason why you don't want to use Skype?

Well, if the thread is about porteños vs. the rest of Argentina, then it's very subjective. There's always province vs big city love-hate relationship. Argentina is not special in this sense (ask any russian what he thinks about people from Moscow:)) Having said that, i have a few porteños that...

I think your proportion of locals to expat friends will grow with your knowledge of spanish. When i came here first a few years ago, i naturally was looking for people who speak at least a bit of english. Now that i'm fluent, i virtually do not have long-term expat friends in Buenos Aires. They...

Alright, 6 hour of puny, barely-visible snow is still nothing compared to 6 months of it in the part of Russia where i lived:) I think people should enjoy things while they last. You'll be remembering cold with envy sometime after October, so better enjoy it now, and look forward for more:)...

AmEx works (although they'll charge you 3% exchange fee). Rapipago is the next option. Print out the coupon and you'll have 5 days to pay it in any location where Rapipago is accepted (google for locations, there're plenty).

Complaining about cold in BA is a bit silly to me. Nor does this winter seem to be much colder than the previous 3 winters i spent in BA. The 2 hour snow on July 4th 2007 could only be an event for people who never saw snow. Maybe it has to do with the fact that i'm russian, but BA still has...

I'd offer you mine, but i haven't unlocked it yet.

I think more than anything, it's humidity. It does effect hair. Colder weather actually makes it a bit better, but come spring/summer, it'll become a problem again.

Hey, Sunelaugh. I'm also in Palermo Soho area and speak both english and spanish fluently. I actually live in BA for over a year now, so i might somewhat help you to get around. Igor

I use BEIKS dictionary. To be honest, it's probably not the best dictionary out there, and it has spanish, not latin-american tilt, but it's good enough. Anyway, you can download the trial.

Even though I'm one of those internet business expats. Well said. Stop bitching:)

Pericles, thanks for organizing the reunion. Nice place, great food.

Dave, great part-ey. Thanks for hosting. Again:) I'm sure tons of people will come for your Thanksgiving dinner.

Dave, I'll be over with wine. Igor

Hey, Ashley. I'm from Philly and i know the bar (right opposite from Cholitos). Not big baseball fan, but i'd love to watch the game anyway.
