    14 Food Reasons Argentines Are Better At Life

    Am I the only one that thinks the pasta is quite good? I miss medialunas and dulce de leche now that I'm no longer in BA!

    Plans to Leave?

    I think Europe/Spain is a good option for those of us who can work on-line. I agree with others that there are a lot of things that are irritating about this place, but I dislike my home country (Australia) even more. We're only a few years behind ending up in the same place as North America...

    Plans to Leave?

    I'm sorry that your experience hasn't been positive, but I think this place has a lot to offer. I've only been here for one year and I leave at the end of this week (!), but that is because my boyfriend's posting has ended, not because we want to leave. We're actually really sad to be going as...

    South Asian Food Recommendation

    Cocina Sunae has excellent service and is one of the cheaper closed door places, but I was pretty disappointed by the food when I went. Perhaps it was an expectation thing as we're used to getting really good Asian food in Australia or maybe they just had an off night.

    Power Outage?

    ARbound - good news for us in Colegiales/Palermo - the power is now back on! We keep losing it almost daily, but it only stays off for around four hours at a time so it isn't so bad...

    Christmas Mass At Catedral

    Thank-you for all your suggestions. We've decided to head to a local service instead of braving the crowds and the reported lack of public transport. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas!

    Christmas Mass At Catedral

    Hi there, I have a friend visiting and she is interested in heading to mass on Christmas eve. Has anyone been to mass at Catedral Metropolitana in previous years? I predict it will be over crowded and we'll have no chance of getting in but thought I'd ask...

    Retiro Station By Night - Safe?

    In defence of the original poster I think the charge of "the height of irresponsibility" is a bit unfair. The original poster asked for advice about a situation, they didn't just throw caution to the wind and hope for the best.

    Retiro Station By Night - Safe?

    In my experience there is always a small number of shady characters near there late at night or early in the morning. I always take a taxi if I need to go there at odd hours.

    Planning For Eze

    I'd take everything out of original packaging to make it appear used or at least less obvious that it is brand new. Wear or wash the clothes to get rid of the brand new look (you're allowed to bring in clothes for 'personal use' as far as I'm aware) and have your friend put them in his suitcase...

    Xmas Rental Nightmare - Advice Please - Where To From Here ?

    I'd be pretty wary about giving these guys any money upfront - whether or not you think the husband is a good guy he's still willing to join his wife in screwing you over this time around, what's to say he won't join her in screwing you over next time too? As for his wife not being aware of his...

    Pre-Ordering Food For Christmas?

    Hello! Does anyone know if food such as ham, turkey, pork etc. needs to be pre-ordered for Christmas? I realise that this is a mundane topic, however I am out of town for a few weeks so I can't wander down to the local stores and ask them myself.
