Dear forum members, For a risk analysis of a company, I am looking for (expat) experiences with crime in the city of Buenos Aires. I am doing various short (telephone) interviews with witnesses or victims of different types of crimes. The interview consists of the interviewee describing the...

Hey all, I'm a male foreign correspondent about to turn thirty and I'm looking for a place to stay for at least 6 months (preferrably longer). I'd prefer to rent a room in a shared appartment/house with other professionals and/or students (if not too rowdy ;)). I love barrio's like Almagro...

Hey all, I'm looking for a professional service that allows me to upload big video files (various gigabytes) in a reasonable timespan. Does anyone know of a service that I can incidentally contract for this kind of job? Saludos, R.

It's a longshot, but I was wondering if anyone has 2 spare tickets to sell for the Kings of Convenience concert @ La Trastienda Club. Date = 5th/6th of December. :)

Over the past few months I've become a regular viewer of this program. It is not that I support its 'línea editorial': I am very critical of the Kirchner government and do think that 'El Modelo Nacional y Popular' está condenado al fracaso. Also, some of the guests they invite seem to be stuck...

http://www.infobae.com/notas/577304-Diputados-estudia-ley-para-obligar-a-extranjeros-a-vender-sus-tierras.html Won't this violate foreigner's rights as stated in Article 20 of the Constitution?

I am currently setting up a weblog on Latin-American affairs (predominantly Argentina and Venezuela). I need to come up with a good name, but I'm lacking inspiration at the moment. Any help is greatly appreciated :)

I want to prepare a typical Dutch meal, and I'm after Endive (Escarole, or broad-leaved endive (var latifolia)). When I asked some locals they looked at me like I was crazy, but I'm sure there is a correct spanish term for the vegetable. And more importantly: do they sell it at verdulerias?

I'll be spending three weeks in Buenos Aires again this August. Having lived there in 2007-2008 I'm familiar with the standard tourist circuit (Obelisco, Cemeterio de Recoleta, La Boca, San Telmo) But I'm looking for more interesting places to visit in Capital and the Conurbano. So advice...

In August I'll fly from Amsterdam to Buenos Aires once again, but I'll have a long wait in DC (8+ hours), so I thought about visiting the city for a few hours. On my way back I'll have another 8 hours to enjoy DC. What I know so far is that I can take the Metrobus 5A to from Dulles to the city...

I remember reading (a few years ago) that one could enter the Bar of the Panamericano Hotel (located @ Carlos Pellegrini near the Obelisk) without being an actual guest of the Hotel. I'd love to go up there, have a drink and take some snapshots... In Caracas its quite normal that one can enter...

I know January and February are slow months (and it seems all the national channels have moved their studios to the beaches of La Felíz or Punta), but is there anyone who can recommend me some interesting TV shows? I used to love Mañanas Informales with Jorge Guinzburg (QDEP), Argentinos por su...

TN refurbished their website (www.tn.com.ar) a few months ago, and since then I haven't been able to watch my fav. shows on demand. Have they simply stopped archiving them on their site or have I overlooked a link on the website?

Next time i'm passing through Buenos Aires again I want to do some 'alternative' tourism, you know.. In stead of taking a remise, taking the train from Ezeiza to Capital Doing some sight-seeing in Villa 31 Already seen Tigre, how about rowing on the Riachuelo? There's a nice hotel in Dock Sud

This thread is about two books, the first being "Las Venas Abiertas de América Latina / Open Veins of Latin America", written by Eduardo Galeano. The second book I'd like to discuss is "Guia para / Guide to the Perfect Latin-American Idiot" by Mendoza and Llosa "Las venas abiertas de América...

I don't know if this is the most appropiate subforum, but I'll post it anyway... I'm briefly back in town from the 23rd of May until the 1st of June and I was wondering if there are any special events going on that week. I'm not interested in site-seeing, considering that I've seen enough of...

Within a few weeks I'll move to the city of Caracas for a five month internship. Any tips and tricks or do's and don'ts?

I kind of wonder in what neighbourhoods the expat community lives in. Everybody keeps telling me that they're almost all living in Palermo and Recoleta, but i find that kind of hard to believe (it would explain the complaining about high prices though). Let's not use fancy names such as Barrio...

Just a quick note as I registered a few minutes ago... Im flying to Buenos Aires mid June 2007 and probably stay there for 8 to 10 months. I'm going to study a semester (Political Science / International Relations) at a BA University, and I want to dive in the cultural riches that Argentina has...
