Went to Colonia last week and returned with a fresh 90-day stamp. Had a lovely time and no problems whatsoever. PM me if you need more detail.

Hi, I'm looking for a good doctor who speaks at least some English in the San Telmo area -- just a general practitioner. Any suggestions? Thanks, Egg

If you're on a Windows machine, here's a way to compare the speed of Telecentro's DNS server with others: http://www.labnol.org/software/tutorials/check-isp-dns-server-speed-compare-opendns-ip-address/2614/ If you're on a *nix box, you probably don't need me to point you to instructions ;) I'm...

Hi y'all, It's nice living in San Telmo, but one thing I miss about being in Palermo is the wealth of expat/English language events. My Spanish is improving, and I'm meeting some Porteños, but now and then it's really nice to get a break and hang out with some English speakers, and I don't...

There may be an issue with Telecentro's DNS server. I suggest switching your computer to Google's public DNS servers to see if that improves the problem (be sure to make a note of the current settings so you can switch back if need be). https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using

This must be you, then? http://textsfromdog.tumblr.com/

I'm interested! I miss it too.

...kidding, of course ;)...

What's your address, by the way?

Speaking as the tenant, I'm happy to say that the situation continues to be MUCH improved. Thanks to everyone who provided suggestions, and a MILLION thanks to allcraz and her husband, who went way out of their way to try to make a solution happen. I can't imagine renting from anyone nicer :)

I am awed by the range and creativity of your euphemisms for dog poop. Well played.

Sockhopper, I'll be DJing some electro swing in BA in the next few months, I hope. If I am, I'll make a post on baexpats.

Thanks, Adriana -- we don't have a phone yet, can I connect with you via email? I'm egg (at) novonon (dot) c-o-m.

Thanks, I didn't know that.

Hi, I'm a smoker and will be running out of the cigarettes I brought before too long. Does anyone have a recommendation on local brands? In the states I smoke American Spirits ultra-lights. I'm looking for something very light and hopefully not too expensive. Being free of chemical additives...

Hi, shoush -- I can't PM you (your account doesn't seem to allow PMs). Can you provide an email address where I can contact you? Thanks!

Hi, My wife and I are in a short-term apartment until the end of February. We're trying to find an apartment to stay in from 1 March through 23 July. I've read some threads here on the forums about finding rentals, and we're pursuing various options, but if anyone here has a lead on a good...

Hi, I've been trying to find some events calendars in order to try to find out about cultural events, music (of all kinds), gallery openings, etc. I'm hampered by my limited Spanish, I'm afraid -- I'm totally into doing my painstaking translation of Spanish-language sites, but I'm having...

I'm very excited to check out the next Zizek on 25 Feb (a mix of live music and DJs). Cumbia-based over contemporary dance beats. I think it's really innovative and danceable (so much so that I was DJing it in the States) -- it's a shame it's not better known here in BA, where it comes from.

Hi, I'm a long-time DJ, currently spinning Electro Swing (stuff like this -- 1930s swing styles over contemporary dance beats). I'm not a rock star, but I've been spinning for years, often for hundreds of people. While I'm in BA I'd like to find some opportunities to DJ, for small-to-medium...
