Quick question for the Brits - my brother is coming over and did not manage to get any dollars. The 'cueva' I use here in Belgrano does not buy pounds - anyone know of one in the centre that does? Thanks

Because of a baby and the space he uses in our wardrobe we have to have a clearout... My wife has two big bags of decent quality clothing - she is 'small' in sizes - could be good for other small ladies or those with teenage girls. There are t-shirts, jumpers, jeans - from places such as Levis...

In a couple of months when the baby is born and my wife returns to work we have to find a 'guardaria' or 'jardin de infantes' in the Belgrano area - to be more precise anywhere from Juramento and Libertador to Monroe and Cabildo. The baby will be 2-3months old. If anyone has any suggestions...

http://www.afip.gob.ar/turismo/#exenciones My wife just found this info on the link above and she thinks that as a foreigner the 300 dollar rule for bringing items of value into argentina does not apply to me. I am a permanent resident. Is that true? We are only planning to bring a stroller...

A UK thread... So, a little bit of criminal damage at the Tory Party's headquarters?! Is this the first of many reactions to the Tory cuts? Are we going back to the 80s? Is this another case of saying goodbye to Labour, then realising they weren't that bad? And Clegg the back-tracker and...

The domestic season is over - For quite some time the prospect of being in Argentina for the World Cup has been haunting me. I love living here, but i am English, and i do not want to watch the England games with Argentines. Are there any bars where the English will congregate? Are there any...

I'm sorry to be a bitch about this and i am going to say something so as noone takes this personally - this site has been very helpful to me and there have been good numbers of North Americans who have shown me assisted in my integration here. But here is my rant... Everytime a post goes up...

i work with an argentine lady whose son lives in New York. Monthly she deposits a U$S1000 into his account here. But for him to take the money from an ATM in NY costs him U$S10 a hit. She asked me if i knew how she could send money to his account over there (a US account) that does not cost so...
