Some interesting global crime facts cause I find stats help: http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_mur-crime-murders You can also get Argentina's rating on petty crime specifically, rape, etc, click on bottom left of the site if stats are your thing...

This is a pretty useful reality checker: Compare the cost of living between major cities of the world; food, transport, living expenses and the average wage @ http://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/comparison.jsp

This may be an inappropriate question, but as many of you are seasoned expats I was hoping for some quality direction pointing please. We are leaving BA soon and WWOOFing (organic farming) North to Bolivia where we will hopefully find paid jobs. We have been unsuccessful in finding sustainable...

http://2sporks1cup.com/?p=1106 :) Enjoy! It's worth the trek.

It's good to ask ahead but I think of you keep a few things in mind you will have no problems at all! Giving myself a plug but funnily enough I just finished writing about this exact issue: http://2sporks1cup.com/?p=1388 All the best. :)

Colonia Express is definitely the cheapest. After researching the same thing this past week we got two return tickets with Colonia Express from the web for 230 pesos. If you book ahead early enough you could get a return for under 60 pesos. Quicker than going to Tigre as well.

Sounds like a new plot for next season on The Wire: Cachafaz & Havanna - things are gonna get chocolatey! :)

Capitan del Espacio sounds like a brand that targets stoners with the munchies. Must be effing good.

Sketchyblueeyes I hear you loud and clear!! I'm sensing some serious addiction out there - as suspected. Thanks for the suggestions guys. I will personally take on any tasting dares. Has anyone ever maxed the dose of ye old whore at 5 or 10? What are we talking here? Could there be an...

Lucas! Food porn isn't helping! ;) Thanks for the solidarity. Do we need to start an AA group of our own? The best den of devilishness we've found: http://www.laolladecobre.com.ar/ They have a fire to sit by, which means as the chocolate melts, they require faster consumption. The hot...

We can't stop eating those decadent dule de leche alfajores! Can anyone please help us out with a good local recipe? Looking for chocolate covered satan version specifically.

High Five starlucia - feeling the rage against the institutes. Advertising has definitely helped sugar the reality of teaching in general, particularly BA. I have to say, lack of information being available about the 'truth' of the situation doesn't make it easier for job seekers. Hoping we can...

Ditto on all the above! We should share the truth and warn other starry eyed would be teachers to BA. I have added this discussion to my blog (hope you don't mind? I can remove if you prefer) that whines about my personal experience and frustration. http://2sporks1cup.com/?p=824 Good luck with...

Does anyone know of a reliable house sitting web site for Argentina? Does this option exist? We are a Colombian (Andres 28) and an Aussie (Kris 39) looking for a place to mind pretty much anywhere in Argentina. We are planning on exploring Argentina for some time, not desperate for work, kind...

This is my experience: http://2sporks1cup.com/?p=824 Not to be negative but it's hard. We are waiting our lease out and going WWOOFING on organic farms as we head North to what appears to be more teaching jobs remotely in Bolivia, Chile etc. Good Luck! BA is a great city.

We went along to catch up with you guys but after asking some randoms if they were you we felt silly and left after an hour. Next time we need a dress hint or something. That place was cool and super crowded. Next time :)

Cool - maybe see you at Friday night drinks!

How boring that religion is even a part of this discussion. It's not all about you Jesus! Good news for equal rights, and for humans. People should be able to love who they want, die when they want and do whatever suits them and doesn't impact other people negatively along the way. I say Amen...

Good to see the old Southside/kinda Northside slagging is global! See you there guys. San Telmo and proud! :)

Apparently the cat cooking is truly going on but the tone of most blogs is definitely one of high sarcasm! Love to catch up Guacho Sam of San Telmo. Although there is a big whole in the 'what to do?' post World Cup for a catch up, maybe we can do something else. We're on Independencia - pretty...
