I know that Selma carries it. There's one in Belgrano (Juramento 2000).

For the locker in the hostel. I once stayed at a hostel in Bangkok where I needed it to actually lock the door to the room. Always comes in handy! You might wanna rethink that fence idea, not all that safe :)

David, I would love to come!

You can find adapters for the plug in any ferretería and the AC adapter works as a converter so that is not the big issue. I would not bring my laptop, most hostels have computers where you can charge your MP3 player and stuff. For a 3-week trip it's just not worth it to carry around the weight...

Also drunk driving seems to be very much the norm. There are controls but all I ever hear is how to drive around them. Seat belt? Para qué, me incomoda! Red lights? A esa hora no pasa nada! No respect for the law, pedestrians, or one's own safety - I find that very sad.

If you have it NOTARIZED at the US Embassy there is no need for an Apostille. In my case it was an Argentine document (notarized by a local escribano) thus I needed the apostilla for it to be valid outside of Argentina. If you go directly to the embassy there is no international aspect, so no...

Hola Mercedes, haha I had the same surgery when I was 6! Kids can be so damn cruel. Anyway, all the best for your job hunt!

First, the Apostille is not recognized all over the world but only in states party to the Hague Apostille Convention. It is not a notarization, it is a kind of legalization. How I did it: Went to see an escribano, got the poder, went to the colegio de escribanos to get the Apostille. I do not...

Buquebus also has day trips for about 130 Pesos. The tour is okay, the lunch not so much. Watch out when walking across that bridge into the historic center. Last time I went, some guy fell down and landed on the rocks below. According to our tour guide that happens quite frequently!

That's the post. Is it going to happen? http://baexpats.org/expat-events/5345-expat-book-exchange-weekend.html

probably not, but they have a small ecological footprint

Argentina 15., of the EU countries Netherlands rank highest at 43, UK at 74, USA rank 114 (among 143 countries in total) Here's the full report: http://www.happyplanetindex.org/public-data/files/happy-planet-index-2-0.pdf

Xoom.com also offer reasonable rates, especially when sending money from a US bank account. Granted the exchange rate is not the best but for me it's still the cheapest option to get cash.

At bus stations, travel agencies, online. I can recommend the bus company Andesmar, they also offer great packages with hotel and excursions.

I am only doubting that the information the government gives is accurate.

Ladies, do any of you know a place that offers threading (depilación con hilo)? An Arab or Indian beauty salon would be my best bet, are there any out there?

Official estimates set the number of infected patients at 100 000, a week ago official numbers were at around 1600 cases. According to WHO statistics from past Friday there were a grand total of approx 90 000 infections worldwide - go figure... I must agree with BlahBlah (reminder to self: take...
