    Looking For English Speaking Therapist

    I recommend Ximena Tobias... She works in Belgrano, quite close to the Barrio Chino. I haven´t seen her for over a year, so I am not sure what she charges nowadays, but she speaks fluent English and is excellent. [email protected]

    Looking For Toursity Stuff To Do With Visitor

    Good point! Jeje... He is particularly interested in the historical aspect of the city, and apart from that, it's pretty open as far as the activities (he just wants to experience Buenos Aires in general).

    Looking For Toursity Stuff To Do With Visitor

    Hey, guys! My father is flying from the US to Buenos Aires for 6 days/5 nights this coming week, and I'm still trying to find some fun, touristy stuff to do with him. Since he won't be here for too long, I probably need to limit our activities to Capital Federal and certain parts of GBA (as...

    Megatlon - Updated Prices?

    I called the Nuñez location a few days ago. As the category of this particular location is "platinum plus," one single month is $1,100 pesos, a year is over $8,000 pesos (I don't remember the specific amount).

    Nelson Mandela Dead At 95 Rip.

    What a shock... Despite his advanced age and failing health, it is still such a shock. So very sad. He was an incredible soul, may he rest in peace. "Do not judge me by my successes. Judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again." - Nelson Mandela

    Teaching English As A Stopgap

    Hi, Mixiekins, As you can imagine, money will undoubtedly be an issue, as Buenos Aires is an expensive city and Argentina is an expensive country. However, living and working abroad could come in handy on a future resume, as it would surely set you apart. If your intention is not to do it long...

    Looking For A Good Young And Talented F.l Logo/web Designer.

    It seems to me that the OP is more concerned with saving a few pesos than expanding his search to some designers who are potentially more experienced, talented, and knowlegeable. Meh, that's his prerogrative. If he chooses to potentially compromise the quality of his website, whatever. You...

    Women Who've Made A Home Here For Love

    Hi, Thuraya, In regards to your question, I work full time in a school, but the school is on vacation until the end of this month. I typically go home to Ohio about once a year, or at least I did before I had my son. But international travel is expensive and is only going to become more...

    Women Who've Made A Home Here For Love

    I've been living in Argentina for about 4 1/2 yrs, and met my Argentine husband after I had been living here for about 9 or 10 months. At that point (back in 2009), my intention was to stay in Buenos Aires regardless, but as we can all testify, Argentina is a far cry from the country that it...

    Good Stories? Great Experiences....

    Once upon a time (in 2009), I met the love of my life here in Buenos Aires. We got married and lived happily ever after. Fin. :)

    One Direction Coming To Buenos Aires

    ... But that's what makes me beautiful! (Syngirl- In answer to your previous question about being a Belieber vs. a Directioner, please see my above answer - self explanatory, jeje!) :-)

    One Direction Coming To Buenos Aires

    Oh, man! I teach middle school here, and it seems like all my students (including the boys!) know their songs by heart, it's crazy! I have learned one thing though, spending day in, day out with 11 and 12 yr olds- According to them, you are either a Directioner or a Belieber, you can not be...

    Slim Fast

    Hi, Andrea, There's a product here called "Stop Calory," which is a powder sold in cans (95 calories a serving). You can find them in Farmacity or major supermarkets. They come in vanilla, chocolate, and banana flavors. I'll be honest- In comparison to Slim Fast, Stop Calory doesn't taste as...

    Baby Stuff And Customs

    I had my first baby in April of this year, and when I traveled to the US this past January, 90% of my luggage that I brought back was baby-related stuff (clothes, toys, bottles, pacifiers, sterilizers, and a stroller, to name just a few). When my mother came to visit in mid-April, she brought 3...

    Where Do You Shop?

    Caribbean- Ceviche is absolutely right. Finding most any kind of product (not just limited to beauty/grooming) is very challenging, if not impossible here. I have never seen any Oil of Olay products, and Cover Girl cosmetics are sold in high-end, posh shopping malls and cost far too much...

    English Books In Ba

    I would have gone mad long ago if I had not had my e-reader. In terms of convenience, it's the greatest thing since sliced bread for me. The previous comments are correct about absurd and impossible importation restrictions, and the mail system here is a lottery that I woudln't count on...
