I can attest to this! ;)

At a coffee chat someone mentioned a store that buys used iPhones, etc, does anyone know of such a place? I know there's MercadoLibre, but I'd rather not deal with the stress of meeting random strangers who know I'm carrying expensive electronics. It's been over a year & I'm still paranoid...

I'll be there :D

There's a gym that I walk by all the time on Dorrego, maybe 2 blocks north of Corrientes. I'll double check tonight on my way to work & see if I can get more specific information about what they actually do there / prices / etc.

Never been to Nuñez! If I'm not working I'm in :D

So you complain about the pizzerias in BA & decide to make your own pizza; only to attempt making dough from scratch, but not the sauce? I find this baffling as a homemade sauce is much easier to make than a homemade dough and way better than anything that plops out of a can or jar.

As someone who previously worked at a fancy restaurant here in Buenos Aires, I am SO glad to see this topic has arisen. Tip 10% people. For the love of god -- unless the service is appalling -- tip 10%. And don't tip in dollars (the owners will keep those), please tip in pesos. Here's my...

Count me in as well :)

Perfect! I'll be in that area tomorrow morning & will definitely check Falabella out - thanks :D

Awesome, thanks!

Where can I find a good pair of jeans? Just plain, dark wash. Preferably ones that won't look like they've been painted on my body. There are SO many clothing stores I'm overwhelmed. I've checked out shops around Puerryedon & Corrientes, as well as the outlets on Serrano (though I didn't have...

I'm not good at swimming laps, but I should definitely practice. I have a pool on the roof of my building, but it's not very long. Where would you be practicing?

You're right, I don't think a kid would be "corrupted" by hearing a parent speak a language that is not the parent's native tongue. It's just that, how much time does one actually speak to their kid during a day? It's not like most parents take the time to sit their kids down for an hour of...

I can make it at 3pm! So Starbucks again, yes?

If English is your native language, then only speak English to your kid at home -- at least during their early formative years. If you're out & about in the city or at a friend's house, go ahead & speak Spanish if that's what you would normally do. No need to make it awkward for you or the kid...

Thanks for putting something together! I'll stop by at some point.

Awesome thanks for the info CityGirl! How are the teachers/classes there? Is it sort of a free for all, where people work on stuff individually or do they teach the entire class a few moves & they all sort of progress at the same speed? Looks like they have a beginner's class tomorrow at 4:30...

Where at? Belgrano's a wee bit closer to me. Though if they're giving free shows for people waiting for the bus, maybe I'd rather not go there. At least not till I'm strong enough to whip out some moves, right? Hahaha

What day do you prefer trekking out here?

Well it's a good thing I am a woman. Just not a diva ;) Thanks for the info, I'll check them out!
