Agree with a lot of what you say :)! People here are really cool, interesting. Though i admit its hard at the beggining, and thats why i understand the expats POV in this, but there IS a way to get into someones life, even if you dont know them since you were 10 years old. I came here at 29 y/o...

we are not as crazy as you say we are! :P a lot of the argentine women i know (and myself) are smart, cultured, non judgmental, fun, nice, easy going, beautiful, awesome and humble :P

Im a big fan of her own "too much happiness" and "secretos a voces" (sorry dont know how to translate that). Been reading her for year. She is like a more poetic Raymond Carver.

Ill be friends with you :) I ve lived here for 2 years (im not originally from this city) and in the beggining i found it hard to make friends, but then i started doing things i enjoy like cultural/gatherings, poeting readings, parties organized by writers (those are surpisingly fun from an...

RICARDO PIGLIA specials about BORGES on canal 7, saturdays at 9pm. Best thing i ve ever seen on tv. Rest of argentinian tv is crap and a shame.

I too recommend Manuel Puig. But his best work is, imo, "Cae la noche tropical" his last novel. Easy to reed, entretaining and good literature too.

they are exxagerating. winter here is warm

Caballito is known as a "wannabe" neighbourhood. You might not know it cause you are not from here. Caballito wannabe Recoleta, but is clearly NOT. Caballito wannabe Palermo but is clearly NOT. Caballito cafes and bars are stuck in the nineties, with all that bright light, and full of wannabe...

Caballito is crap. What could you possibly like about that neighbourhood? Your kids must have lived in the wrong part of Almagro. The part im talking about is the best part of the city.

Im insisting so much cause im a fan of this neighbourhood. Ive never been a fan of anywhere i live before, and when something functions in so many levels, specially in a city that seems to have many cons in its neighbourhoods, i feel obligated to share this wonderful expeirence. To the op: go...

I wish someone had gave me the advie im giving you first time i moved to Buenos Aires, and i wouldnt have to go through those other neighbourhoods till i found the best. Almagro is the best kept secret in Buenos Aires. I shouldnt be telling you this, because if this place becames a huge...

A lot of cool bars like "El imaginario cultural", "Guardia la vieja" "Musetta", full of young artsy people all night. Expats too. There are quite a few expats settling down in the northern part of Almagro (the best one, where i live, the one right next to Palermo, i live only 2 blocks to...

Also, Almagro is right next to avenida Corrientes, and to avenida Cordoba. Close to all touristic locations. It haves some great bars at night with amazing atmosphere too, the shopping Abasto is rght there and Alto Palermo too, it is the more convenient, close to everything. There is no...

Go to Almagro!!! Look, im a young woman living alone, and im easily scared/very wary of unsafeness, and i live in Almagro in where i easily get back home walking at 4 am, i take buses at every hour, the atmosphere is amazing, never had any problem whatsoever, and its the safest place i ve ever...

I ve heard about "general paz" telo in the general paz avenue. Its supposed to have all kind of stuff, and its very expensive too.

I live in Almagro and had NEVER had a power outrage, not even last november in the heatwave where half of the city was left without power. The internet disconnection i have once a year at most.

so the woman wasnt even argentinian??

is this still going on? im interested and have background in writing

Agree with this, but this is NOT an Argentina mentality, it is a Porteño mentality. I am from Mar del Plata and i ve never seen in my life people more dirty and uncaring than Porteños. You dont see in Mar del Plata people throwing papers on the floor when they go to their walk, you dont see poop...

I went to the Ital Park a lot when i was little!!!
