    Argentine Facturas

    Hi guys! I go to panaderias to buy facturas fairly often . I can usually pick them out by myself, but sometimes I struggle with the names. This results in me having to point to pastries and just smile at the employee hoping they will get the point and pick them up for me. So far, I've learned a...

    Madonna In Buenos Aires!

    Is anyone going? http://www.ticketbis.net/madonna-buenos-aires-tickets/ev12563 I've never been to the stadium so I don't know how good/bad the sound will be, but I imagine the show will be pretty impressive! I'm not a die hard Madonna fan but I do enjoy her music and the nostalgia of her...

    En Familia- Theater Show

    I was just reading about this theater show: http://agendacultural.buenosaires.gob.ar/evento/en-familia/5915 It sounds interesting. My Spanish is passible, I know I'd struggle and miss out on stuff, but I was wondering what you guys thought of Argentine theater. 1. Do the culture differences...

Did any of you take a...

    Jazz Festival

    I have never heard any jazz in Buenos Aires before. I'm sure it exists, of course, I just personally haven't experienced it, and I'm wondering if I should expect it to be very different from the jazz I'm used to? I saw this Jazz Festival is coming up...

    Foreign Holidays In Argentina

    I am sure plenty of Americans like myself celebrated Thanksgiving a few days ago, but I am curious, how many of you stick to your home country's holiday traditions? I insisted on making a full-on traditional dinner, but with the heat, I think that perhaps for Christmas we might alter the menu a bit!

    Karina Buhr- did anyone see the show?

Is there anything else there worth seeing? It's in Recoleta so I imagine it must have at least a few other interesting things. I...

    6 peso diet

    I came across this article that is both funny but also infuriating. It's about how the Argentine government claims that a person can survive on 6 pesos a day for food. I think we all know that's impossible! http://tinyurl.com/six-peso What do you think is a normal amount for 1 person to spend...
