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...

Also, one of you must be a man and the other one must be a woman. This, I personally find very sad and I hope will change one day. On a separate note, for those of you heterosexuals who have gone through this, does it make any difference if you are a legally married couple in Argentina before...

Also, only use ATM machines that "dip".

Hi expat friends, So I thought I would pass on some advice which I hope you all will find useful. To make a very long story short - and cut right to the moral of the story - my strong recommendation is to only use ATM machines that require you to "dip" your card. Don't use machines that take in...

virtually impossible. I've been in this boat. Before the restrictions were put in place - so I can't even begin to imagine what it would be like now. Even if you could somehow do it by providing necessary documentation, you'd have to first convert the Euros to pesos and then the pesos to...

I always thought we were pretty immune up here on the Palermo side of Barrancas de Belgrano (11 de Sept y Teodoro Garcia). Never heard of a single incident in the past four years. But then just on Monday a neighborhood shop owner friend of mine had his bike stolen right in front of his...

Even if you don't have private health insurance, you can still have a doc come to your house for a fee. You can call Medicus at 4129-5300 and request a medico a domicilio. Depending on the severity of your situation s/he will be there in 1-3 hours.

You won't regret it.

What can I say? I'm a PR / Marketing guy :-)

How about "Argentina should be accessible to the Argentines.

I went with my parents on the tour last April when they were visiting. I also remember being frustrated by the price difference. I think I remember it being around 70 or 80 pesos each. But I have to tell you, it was so worth it. My parents, who are very well traveled, said it was one of the best...

Hey neighbor! We'll probably run into you at Lo de Paka some day. I thought the cat was kind of out of the bag about that place, so decided to take it off my * secret* list. But yeah, that is one of the advantages of living all the way up here. They haven't appended the word "Palermo" to our...

I'd tell you, but I'd have to kill the forum... No but seriously, on a slightly different topic, is anyone else with me when it comes to having just a few spots you kind of like to keep quiet about? For me they're just a handful of restaurants, plazas, recreation areas. Not much, but just a few...

Just woke up, remembering our good experience coming home, but sort of scratching my head to remember the drunk thread I started and what the response may have been. Well I am glad to report - fully sober - that that is exactly how I remember everything going down, and I have no regrets in...

Alright, full disclosure - I am a wee bit tipsy... Good way to start a thread, I know. My partner and I are just arriving home (5:30 AM - not a late night for here, I know - my fault, I dragged the poor guy out just as it was getting good) after a night at Human Club by Aeroparque at the...

You don't need diecTV to solve this issue. A digital box - regardless of the provider / source (cable / satellite) is all you need.

sign up for digital cable (additional fee is something like $10-15 pess / month). Use an HDMI cord to connect your TV to the box. Then you'll be in business.
