Kaminoge, I haven't written anything on this forum for years but occasionally browse it. I wanted to congratulate you on your move. I'm a Londoner but moved here 10 years ago and would still say that Buenos Aires is the best city in the world to live in, in that it is impossible to get bored as...

I don't think I have posted on this site in years but I'm still here 9 years later, fully legal now, and thought I would balance out a little of the negativity. I don't know about Argentina but I reckon Buenos Aires gets better every year. Food wise, culture wise, public space wise, transport...

I've been coming and going for 18 years. Moved here full time 7 years ago. I live a pretty modest life compared to my former one as a banker. But have to say I couldn't be happier! Yes I have to work. Yes I make the same in a month as I used to make in a day. But pretty much all the culture that...

I don't know anywhere even outside argentina where you can get a powerful (and it needs to be otherwise it is a waste of time) stick blender for USD$ 10?? Also a "culinary torch" is a waste of time. Great if you have 3 minutes to brown a creme brulee, otherwise useless (though pretty). Just go...

If you are going for a special (and more expensive) meal, I think Dante Liporace at Tarquino is currently the best chef in BA. It's in the Hub Porteño that has a nice roof terrace for a pre-dinner drink, it's a small pretty restaurant, the house wines are excellent and it is a lot cheaper than...

Knowing you guys, you would really enjoy Gran Dabang. Only thing is I don't think you can book, so you might have to queue. Otherwise, casual, india oriental, good value and good flavours.

I know that L'atelier de Celine in San Telmo urgently needed a chef (at least they did a couple of weeks ago) as their head chef was moving on. They don't pay very well though.

Why would you bother?

I've been here full time for 7 years now (and been coming and going for 18), the city keeps getting better! The cultural offering (mainly free) and therefore accessible to all, is superior to anywhere else I know. Food is improving rapidly. For the first time today I had a homemade burger from a...

I was involved in advising this company some years ago and I believe it is doing rather well. http://www.audionetwork.com/. It provides a platform for new composers. Send your submissions to their A&R.

Nothing hard about that - I get my bacon (English Style) from Larry (El Tejano) and my sausages from the germans at Bratwurst Argentina. I also have several litres of maple syrup that I have never got round to using. Does it go off? A canadian girl gave it to me a couple of years ago after she...

I like Farang on Cerviño, Palermo Botanico. They often update their FB page with the fish they have on any given day. Last time I went they had both red tuna and angel fish. Lots of interesting small plates of non japanese food as well.

Personally I get much more out of Dan's reviews as I can normally tell whether I will enjoy a restaurant or not from reading them. I do read Alys' to keep in touch with what is new out there but I cannot decipher them in terms of my own tastes and have to admit I find the non stop sexual...

Strangely, I am going to the birthday party of my oldest friend tonight, known him since I was 16 in London and he has moved here too. And my other closest friend from London as well. And my business partner has an apartment here. When I went back to London I didn't know anyone anymore! Nothing...

Yes, I liked La Margarita, but it was a long way away and twice the price. Great if your focus is horse riding, they had some fun criollos, but no need to go so far if you just want the quiet of the campo. La Sortija is an hours drive, just past Pilar.

A question I have often seen asked but not sure if I've seen answered is where one where one can go to escape the city for a few days with a bunch of friends or a couple of families. As I run a little B&B I don't have much interest in chi-chi spa resort type places. My idea of a good time is to...

And you want this government to be able to issue debt? Do you presume it will be well used?? I am much happier with them having less access to funds to waste.

Until now I hated pizza. But if it puts off oligarchs from moving here I am now a fan!!!!

I'm still here after 5 years, running a business and loving it. And Buenos Aires IS a truck full of laughs, culture, art, music, good times and good people. I can't think of anywhere I would rather be no matter how rich I was. I decided to stay because (for my life style) BA was the best city in...
