Hi everyone, A good friend of mine is looking to rent a room from about mid-November through the end of January. I can say from experience that he is a great roommate, buena onda and easy going and respectful of others in the apartment. He's specifically looking for a place with wi-fi and a...

Hi everyone, This Saturday afternoon there will be a self defense workshop for women in Villa Crespo. Unlike the jiu jitsu intro class that I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, this Saturday's class is for women only and will teach specific techniques to protect yourself in the types of dangerous...

Hi everyone, A friend of mine who is here from Chile studying film is going to be making a short movie that includes some scenes in English. He is looking for someone who knows English well who would be willing to help him out on the set the day of filming. I have already translated the script...

Hi everyone, I'm moving back to the states in a few weeks and, as can be expected, nostalgia is setting in. There are some things that I really like about the Argentine culture that I do not experience very often in the US - specifically their warmth and affection towards friends and family...

Hi guys, It looks like my time in Argentina will be coming to a close pretty soon. (Boyfriend and I have ended things, and the mostly likely thing is that I will move back near my family in the states.) So, I am thinking about what might be a nice way to round out my adventure here. When our...

Hello! We are a quiet, responsible couple and we're looking for a 1-bedroom apartment (or larger) in Villa Crespo for November 1. If you are renting out a place, or know of one, please send me a message! Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone! Safety is a topic that comes up on this forum from time to time, so I thought some of you might be interested to know about a class that my boyfriend is teaching in October. He will be teaching an introduction to Brazilian jiu jitsu, a style of martial arts that is particularly...

When you're earning Argentine pesos and you want to save some of them by converting to a foreign currency, with the plan to spend them in the United States as US dollars at some point in the future, is it better to convert directly to US dollars or instead to convert to another currency like...

Hi everyone! For me, a big part of living in Buenos Aires is about challenging myself and improving how I live my life. I know that I'm not the only one, so I'm putting together a small group of people who are interested in doing some active work to make some real changes in their lives. Our...

Hi everyone! My boyfriend and I are taking the first week of April off for vacation and we're trying to find a good out-of-town destination on a pretty tight budget without a car. I thought that with all the collective experience on this board, it'd be the best place to ask for advice! We're...

Hi! I'm interested in getting involved in a community garden / urban garden where I can get my own plot and start growing things, or, perhaps even just volunteer with the organization that operates one, even if I can't do my own growing. Does anyone know if there are any here in Capital? Thx :)

Hey guys! Do you know if there's anywhere that folks might be gathering to watch the State of the Union address Tuesday night? It would be fun to watch with some others who have an interest in US politics. (As long as it's not just to bash Obama.) Thx in advance :)

Hi everyone! My boyfriend & I are looking for a basic apartment in Capital starting in February. Someplace not-too-fancy with 1 or 2 bedrooms, furnished, and temporary because we don't have a guarantia. We're good tenants that live pretty quietly, we'd take good care of the place, and we'd...

I'm flying out of the Ezeiza airport in a couple of weeks. What's it like these days to get there from the city? (And to get back into the city when I return, too?) These posts have some great information but they're more than a year old: How do you get to EZE? (Remis, taxi, bus...) Getting...

Hey guys! So this year I started a job here in Argentina. (en blanco, temporary residency visa, etc.) I've also had some freelance income from a US company thanks to some work I've done via the Internet. I'm hoping to do my income taxes myself, like I've done in past years, so I can avoid...

I'm up for my 3-month review at my new job and I could use some help on salary negotiating -- could you give me some advice? (I learned today that it will be tomorrow morning!) I know each situation is unique, so here are some details that might matter: I do online community management/social...

Any chance you guys know where I can find Mi Villano Favorito (Despicable Me) playing in the cinema, in 3D, in English with castellano subtitles? All the showings I've found so far seem to be dubbed in castellano. Any tips would be great! Whether you know where it is playing, or if you have a...

Hi ladies, Yesterday i stumbled upon a great little women's fashionable casual clothing store in Belgrano called Flamenca. (Cabildo 2214) They're small but they've got a great style -- interesting, pretty pieces with character. Not cheap but not too expensive. I think it's their only location...

I'm looking for a place to get an inexpensive bedspread or quilt. (A duvet and/or comforter might be fine, too, but I think I prefer the others.) Ideally it'll be something that's good quality but not terribly expensive or luxurious. Any suggestions? I've tried Arredo and a couple other places...
