Count me in too! I arrive in early November and this sounds great.

Yeah, that is the depressing thing - the elections might have been technically and process-wise OK (for instance, Capriles' campaign organization Comando Venezuela was able to put people in all voting stations), but the complete lack of access to opposition media outside of a few cities...

Cool! I am Norwegian so I get excited when our culture is promoted like that! "The man who loved Yngve" is pretty good. Others are veeery old, like Babette's Feast, but still a great movie. I would go but alas I don't arrive until November.

Thanks very much everybody! Appreciate the advice.

I am starting to pack and thinking about what to bring. I realize some things are more expensive or harder to get in AR, so I want to think about what to bring. Are there any particular beauty products etc. that are more expensive there than in the US? I will of course bring my favorite...

Got partial highlights last night, outside of DC, and that, without a cut, was US$95... wow. The haircut will wait until I arrive in AR. Actually I think I will grow out my hair for a while, it is shoulder length but it seems to me that all Argentine women have long hair!

My claim to fame: I saw her up close and personal yesterday! She was getting into a building in downtown DC (I assume she went there after the speech was over) and I was real close.

I am not there yet! I leave in a month but am reading here to learn more. Where do you live?

Yep! Is it that obvious? :)

I am only blocks away but it was impossible to get a ticket... Too bad there is no way to hear it in Spanish, hearing the translation is less interesting.

Thank you all! Ashley, I will check him out for next time - I desperately need some highlights so I am getting them here in DC next week. (I live in the middle of the city and only go to the suburbs to get my hair done, I love my stylist!) Lexilein, will send you a pm. Thanks!

Ashley, this is super helpful, thanks very much! I love my hairdresser here in DC so I am getting highlights from her next week, but she is sooo expensive so I might hold off on the actual cut.

Hello, as I am budgeting for my internship I wanted to ask about prices for some beauty salon services. I remember last year while on vacation I paid the equivalent of USD 12 for waxing (half leg) at a nice place in Recoleta. What would some prices be for waxing, pedicure, hair cut and...

Wow, thanks, that sounds great! Will pm you with my details. That does sound a little dangerous indeed!

I love karaoke, horses, and learning languages. I particularly like Korean-style karaoke places with separate rooms. I think I could go there all by myself and sing away an afternoon! (Sometimes my friends get tired of the songs I pick so maybe it is not such a bad idea...)

Cool, thanks. The bus from Canuelas to BA apparently takes 1 hour so I can imagine that in a car it might be a little less.

Jaja, so much for my anonymity! So would you say it is almost suburban?

Hi there, I am also new to the forum and I guess I am going the opposite direction - from the middle of a city to a big estancia in the countryside outside of BA! In my whole life I have only lived in the country for one year, so this will be a big change for me. (I leave in a month.) I like...

Hello! I joined the forum a week or two ago but just now saw this section. I will be interning at a polo club in Canuelas starting November 1st. (In my other post I had written San Antonio Areco but I switched to a place in Canuelas.) I am very excited about this move (even with all the...

Sorry for my late reply, but thank you all for the answers! Most appreciated. I had never heard of WorldNomads but that looks like a good alternative, I could do that at least for the first month to make sure I had coverage.
