This is the first I've ever been told NOT to bribe someone in Argentina.

2 different CDs

Hey guys, I'm visiting BA in a few days after being away for about 3 years. I used to be a resident with a DNI, but now no longer have any ties with Argentina (Canadian citizen residing in the US - although my passport does say 'issued in Buenos Aires'), so coming in as a tourist, and have...

A couple of reasons come to mind: If I remember correctly, he was showed the red card in two consecutive international games playing with la seleccion. I think the second one was his last appearance (please correct me if I'm wrong.) And as mentioned before, he spent a good time riding the...

Exactly. As I said, in Capital things aren't so black and white, there are so many different things happening, but just to generalize (and I'm generalizing here, so no one get too excited), what happens most of the times is that women are kidnapped, like the Maria Cash incident, and smuggled to...

I read the first 8 pages of this topic, skimmed through the rest. Instead of posting a long thought out essay on what I believe to be morally correct, or what should be done about the issue, about the times I took the 130 bus through the bosques, or about the time a travesti stole my cell phone...

You should get in touch with Martin Roig - he is an event coordinator but also an accomplished tango pianist (I studied with him many years ago). I'm not sure if he still teaches, but could very possibly steer you in the right direction. I'm sure you could find his contact info by...

I was never a huge fan of the Chinese food in BsAs, but lets not forget that your typical Chinese food in the US isn't really authentic Chinese food either...

On Sarmiento (forget what cross street, but its downtown) there's a music store called ProMusica. Above this store there's another one (or used to be, pretty sure it's still there) called Ricordi, they have a pretty big selection of sheet music. Also check out Cadara, which is also in the same...

Hey Nancy, There is plenty of jazz in BsAs. Here are some of the best places in my opinion: Thelonious Club (Palermo) Notorious (Recoleta) Virasoro (Palermo) Jazz & Pop (Centro) Cafe Vinilo (also has other genres, in Palermo) Trastienda Club (not only jazz, San Telmo) Also bunch of other...

If you are in microcentro you should check out some areas in Puerto Madero

Someone mentioned Washington school and Belgrano Day School, both are good. If you are going to be in Belgrano area, and Lincoln is too far, you might want to consider some schools in Vicente Lopez/ Florida area which is still pretty close, such as Florida Day School or St. Gregory's College...

I moved to NYC last year, and I don't eat any dairy, so obviously don't eat NY pizza. But whenever I go back to Bs As I never miss a visit to El Cuartito and Guerrin (best fugazzeta in town), definitely worth breaking the no dairy rule. So yes I think Argentine pizza is delicious!

St. Andrew's is bilingual. Usually, with these types of schools, the mornings are taught in English and the afternoons in Spanish. Washington School is also bilingual, but not as strong as Lincoln or St. Andrew's. Other good bilingual schools with similar curriculums/values are St. Gregory's...

I use www.endomondo.com with my iphone

You should also check out www.comoviajo.com gives you options with all type of public transport...website doesn't work properly sometimes, but when it does it's pretty useful.

Never seen cheerios, but there's something called Honey Nut O's (or something like that) which is similar to honey nut cheerios.

There's a photo place on Rodriguez Peña, almost Avenida Las Heras. Got my Canadian passport photo there last year.

You shoul also check this out http://realbookdeltango.com/ Sort of a tango version of your typical jazz fake book. They also have a facebook page.

I wouldn't pay him either, but I guess if you feel strongly about paying him, the least you should do is deduct the amount of money he stole.
