Hey group! A friend of mine recently did a write up of the ins and outs of BAFICI for a local paper. The article is very comprehensive. It is a must read if you have never been, but I'm sure you can learn a few things if you have been to it before as well. Unfortunately I will not be in BA...

I have been living in Buenos Aires since Aug of 2007. I miss home greatly, but appreciate the fact that I can go and visit for a month at a time and then come back to my normal life here in Buenos Aires. I still struggle a lot with 'home-sickness' but convincing friends and family to visit you...

Gascon right now is about 14 pesos in the grocery store, Trapiche is about 12, and one of my cheap faves is Uxmal which is about 20/22 pesos. There are still cheap ones that are about 8-10 pesos, but are not so great.

I always travel in hostels, so you probably don't want my advice on that front. I took a 2 week Mendoza/Santiago trip, and if you are there already you should check out Valparaiso as well. It is a gorgeous coast city made up of a tin of hills just an hour or so outside of Santiago.

I came here to say this as well. They are a band from Uruguay. The have great music, and it is great for expanding your vocab.

Be careful if you fly to Chile. If you fly into Santiago you have to pay the same reciprocity fee at the airport to gain admittance. If you bus over, or if you fly into any other airport that is not the case.

Hey Masha, I'm not really offering a recommendation because I have never actually experienced my own massage, but I have seen the results from my clients in BA over the past 2+ years that I have been practicing here. I was trained in the US in 2005 at the Humanities Center for Massage, and I...

I like the choice of words you used. I knew a few already, but can't seem to find a translation on loor. I did an image search as well b/c that usually is better than a direct translation. No dice. There was an advertisement last winter for Barioloche or some other resort and it said...

I learned the word for puddle last week with all of the rain: Charco

I don't know, I would disagree with this article. I know the farmers want the peso to be more like 4.12 to the dollar. Since the farmers are so powerful in this country I would not imagine that they couldn't get what they want. Only time can tell.

There are a lot of print shops around the Facultad de Medicina. The one I go to regularly is on Uriburu in between Viamonte, and Tucuman on teh odd side of the street.

Every few months I see a price jump in the supermarkets, restaurants, and taxis; I don't like it, but it is not new, and I somehow feel it is to be expected. This last time I have felt the jump to be more steep than in the past. This article confirmed my suspicions. What are your thoughts?

I think factored into the prices at the disco is the convenience that they offer delivery.

Hey ArgSteve, I am a Massage Therapist that has been practicing here in BA for the past 2 years. I do not run a spa, but I do have a studio for massage, and I also make house calls which can be a wonderfully luxurious experience. Please contact me for any more information.

I'm also in this age bracket (23) I love curry = ) Let me know if something gets set up for us younguns ; )

So, what has been your favorite film so far? I loved Ajami which we saw in an adorable theater in Villa Urquiza. There was also a group of shorts that was very good.

They did not have Inka Kola at Inka, si seor (although you would think they would) but I have seen it at a few other Peruvian restaurants.

Awesome pic, thanks for sharing!

A few things that I see unbalanced with Broccli's criticism of this 'expensive' hole in the wall. 5 empanadas is quite a lot of food for one person. Also, most cheap restaurants make their money on drink sales, so you can save at least 10 pesos just by drinking beer you got at the supermarket...

Look at us racking up the bills ; ) It was a great night, with an amazing turnout, and I enjoyed meeting everyone that I had the chance to talk to. Thanks for setting everything up Howard!
