I lived in BA a couple years ago and an ex-student of mine asked me for help finding a new English teacher. He was one of my favorite students to teach during my time there. The student's name is Javier. He is around 40 years old and works at Citi in el centro. He has an upper-intermediate...

Hi everyone! I left BA a while back and one of my ex-students has asked me for some help finding a replacement English teacher. If there is anyone out there looking for some extra classes, send me a message and I will put you in touch with the student. Level is advanced. Classes are held...

Hi everyone! I left BA a few months back and one of my ex-students has asked me for some help finding a replacement English teacher. This particular student is about 40 years old, very laid back, has a great attitude, and is very easy to give classes to. I taught him for close to 2 years, and...

Good mustard is expensive in BA. I recommend seeing if Savora is a suitable temporary replacement for you

I've been to various gyms here over the course of 2 years and they all ask you to get the medical certificate; however it's never been enforced, as I've never produced one and it hasn't been a problem (but this wasn't in the major gyms like sportclub/megatron). The pool thing is true...they...

Welcome! You chose an excellent place to stay. You're in a safe neighborhood and near the Palermo parks! It will be a bit pricey though..

Yes you can find love here, then it will turn ugly, then it will turn amazing again, then terrible, then fantastic....

how far in advance can you pay the fine? 15 days?

I still have more classes! Let me know if anyone else is interested!

Is there anywhere to get these here? I'm talking about big, halloween pumpkins.

In some of the bigger carrefours (like in zona norte) you can find Antares beer in bottles. A 12oz "porron" of the imperial stout costs about 17 pesos.

After spending the last 2 years in BA teaching English, I'm finally heading home next month. I would like to be able to leave my students with replacement teacher, because for many of them it's very difficult to find one on their own. I'm from the US, and the majority of my students are...

There's a gym called fitness one, I think it's at bonpland & paraguay, that has modern equipment, is small, and charges around $500 pesos for 3 months. There's another gym called el galpon at costa rica & arevalo where you can pay by the month (about 6 months ago for $150/month), but the...

Teegs, teaching credentials here are of minimal importance. All you need is to be TEFL certified, which you can do online for fairly cheap. Institutes here will hire you for nothing more than having a TEFL certificate and being a native speaker. I know because I did it. Many of my students...

I think with Movistar, the message you receive to check your credit costs you about 50 centavos. Phone calls are expensive (I think around 2.50 per minute) but I can't explain how you lost so much so quickly.

Congrats on your decision to come to BA! You'll find the the portenos have a unique culture, are very proud of who they are, and by being around them you'll learn to value the things that are truly important in life. Yes, there are some negatives here, and most people on this forum will jump at...

Does anyone know where I can find an artist who is good at painting faces (for a portrait, not painting children)? I'm making a sign as a gift, and the artist that I'm using will take care of the rest, but he is unable to do faces. I want it to actually look like the person, and not a cartoon...

There's a local show called "graduados" that's not bad. I think you can find full episodes on youtube. They speak very Argentine Spanish.

Fair enough, I've only been here for 2 years so I can't compare how it is now to how it was then. However I'm sure that nobody here would say that the meat is bad. I believe it's more about knowing which cut to buy, and maybe making friend with your local carnicero ;)

Don't listen to people who tell you the meat here isn't good, because it is. Maybe every single cut isn't exceptional, but there are several that are very good (bife de lomo, ojo de bife, colita de cuadril). In my opinion, what make the meat so good here is that you are able to choose from 30...
