quick set of questions about argentine pumpkin empanadas... here goes: is there such a thing as "argentine" pumpkin empanada (or is it really a "mexican" thing - only?) if there is, with cheese in the center (or not)? if with, then (i'm working with what i got in the fridge today): cheddar...

For the past several years, my husband and I have rented apartments (for February / March) in Palermo Chico (AKA: Barrio Norte?) (within the same building, Paunero 2734.) We like that building (mucho !); we like the barrio; and want to return this year. Unfortunately, the rental agency we had...

should be a simple question (I give up...): what is the difference between an ambience and a dormitorio? as i see it, an ambiences is a "space" vs a dormitorio which is a "bedroom" ? so could you have a studio apartment with multiple "spaces" (kitchen, dining, living... intruding a dedicated...

it's a thursday night - truly nothing special; and its my turn to make dinner. i need an idea... so i Google (actually Bing, but no matter): "buenos aires typical weeknight dinner recipes" (using an argentine VPN address). AURGHHHH! Every-bit of possible tourista / travelocity / chocotorta /...

up till this morning, i used 'Translator" - which is now called 'iTranslate' (?) (i thought they were different; to be honest, i can't recall ...and in frustration with what i found earlier today ...i deleted whatever app i had.) what i am fairly certain is that whatever app i did have had was...

I introduce my Spanish comprehension like this: “En un dia bueno, mi español es horrible; Hoy no es un día bueno." Sometimes, my Spanish is bad because my vocabulary is terrible. At other times, it is because the words that comes out of my mouth are simply …garble. (Ex: the other day, with my...

*tentatively* Feb 29 thru Mar 8, LOOKING TO RENT: a studio (1 person); ideally near Parque las Heras Have been in CABA, for the last 6 weeks and am considering extending my stay for an additional 9 days to complete a Spanish course in progress at UBA at this point, I’m only doing my homework...

...will be in CABA for several more weeks (till the end of the February) and I would really like to see (ARGENTINE) fútbol ! (A`a game I admittedly know very little about.) Searching online for a schedule, tickets... even which teams to watch, at what stadiums to see them takes me to ESPN...

(the advice I would ALWAYS give is: "If you're asking... it is"; nonetheless... Even in NYC (I'm from Brooklyn), (nowadays) you will see people sitting on the subway, and in the parks (selectively - of course) working on their laptop. In CABA (I live in Barrio Norte-ish, next to Parque las...

buen dia, Has anyone made the trip from CABA to Mar del Plata by train. There seems to now be a direct train between the two locations. And at a impressively low fare: (between 3.900 and 13.700; roughly $5 and $15 USD - ¿Puede esto ser correcto?) Yes, i do realize it is not a short voyage...

(this is similar to a post i have concurrently running about eSim cards...) Am I doing something wrong? Is there a setup on my iPhone i ought to check / adjust? Is there a work-around? I find that i need to do a good amount of surfing (even if only to get directions) while I am on the street...

Would anyone know of any upcoming events, or sources to find, venues to look into, or be able to make ANY recommendations (whatsoever) of MODERN PERFORMANCES (sorry tango, you're legit (very legit), but...) of dance, music, 'performance art'...., or ANY other opportunities within Buenos Aires...

in NYC we had / there is..."Citibike" (equivalent in concept to CABA ECObici.) Citibike has evolved into a significant way of getting around in NYC (having 1,915 stations, and a daily average ridership of 131,000) Are there any thoughts about using ECObici in CABA - to me it seems like they...

I've been told multiple times, and fully agree: the Google Maps App (iPhone) does not work in ARG (at best, it 'might' (maybe) (sometimes); it is certainly unreliable: Turn LEFT, except when it means to say RIGHT; "the spot you are standing at does not exist"; "you can't get there from here"...

this should be a simple query (I hope): I know my iPhone is eSim compatible and that it can handle multiple eSim's I already am comfortable with using eSim (My phone currently has an eSim through my local carrier, SPECTRUM) For Voice I use WhatsApp -almost exclusively (with the exception of...

In NYC, there used to be a "things to do" bible: Time Out NYC ; unfortunately, it has fallen out of greatness. Published on a weekly basis, it included sections such as: new stores, restaurants, shops, free events (for kids, adults, gays, athletes, blue-haired ladies...), dance, theater...

Been trying to learn Buenos Aries Argentine (Castellano / los porteños (?) / Lunfardo)... (it's not happening that quickly) So... my approach is to 'just try everything into the pot and hope something works". (The obvious would be to just take lessons in BA; but currently i am in NYC, and will...

I know their are several threads on this, but none in quite some time, and certainly not post pandemic Any suggestions for a pool with lap swimming? At least 20 meter (vs a “hotel” pool where guests swim “laps”) Does the Y in Centro (?) have a pool? With appreciation in advance Mark

Although this is my fist digital-nomad adventure, and it won't be long (1 mes), I don't mind investing in my stay (not at all). I just notice that my apartment really does not have a 'work' surface (only a small square dining table). But there is plenty of room, and I don't mind buying an...

simple Q: from what i can tell, the standard receptacle in BA is type I (a triangle of 3 flat blades), not type C (2 round pins) -correct ?
