Muchas gracias for all of the information! We will probably try to get to San Martin, but since it is supposed to rain for our ENTIRE trip (haha of course) it will likely still be underwater. In that case we will just check out the Jesuit ruins instead. Thanks again to everyone for the help -...

Thanks for the info, it is much appreciated - but there are 4 of us going, so we would be cutting it REALLY close to see if all 4 of us could get our visa in time, plus isn't there an expense associated with it? We are already over our budget. But again I do appreciate the suggestion! Any...

We are planning a trip to the Falls this weekend but are also wanting to extend our trip to include a few days on the beach somewhere. Iguazu appears to be inland but a coworker told me there is a beach there? IS this true? And if not, are there any on the way back to Buenos Aires that would not...

Hola! Any public pools (or gyms with outdoor pools?) in Palermo/Recoleta/Barrio Norte that are open now? I am only here for one more month but would loooove to swim and soak up some sun before heading back to the cold winter. Especially interested in any that are least likely to be overrun...

Dave, my husband Joe and I would like to come! We'll bring beer or wine...anything else we should bring food-wise? Can't wait to meet ya!

Thanks so much!!! We ARE actually US citizens; I forgot about the Brazil visa issues (that I didn't know about before moving here and have only learned from this site). I thought about Iguazu Falls as well...I will look into that and Andesmar also. Anyone else have thoughts, especially about...

Hola! My husband and I are wanting to get out of town for a bit for our anniversary and have heard great things about the bus transporation here (full cama, etc) but there seem to be so many bus lines out there offering such services. Anyone have a good line or website they would recommend...

My husband Joe and I would love to go! What store should we go to? We can get there whenever so just let us know! I will check back later to see if anything's posted. Otherwise you can PM me the details! Cheers and hope to meet you guys tonight! :)

I LOOOOVE cottage cheese and miss it too, Soma! But I don't think those translations are correct. I have had them both and neither are what you are looking for (one is Ricota cheese and the other is whipped cheese). I don't think it exists here, honestly. I used to have it everyday and tried...

Thanks, guys! :) It was definitely cool. I would looooove to do Dublin! I love Ireland! The people are so warm and friendly and wonderful. But damn I'll bet that's a cold race! I am already looking into doing another this year...funny how after it's over you forget the pain (kind of like...

I would LOOOOOVE to run the Dublin! I love Ireland! Such friendly, warm people but damn that must be a cold race! There were times along the BA marathon course that there were several spectators and a few tango booths and music stands set up...that was helpful in giving you a good jolt of...

I ran the marathon on Sunday - I thought it was a great experience. I will admit that the races here just aren't as good or as organized as the ones in the U.S. but it was still really cool. Adidas sponsored it this year and I think it was a huge upgrade (according to what I've read) from last...

Isn't the other thread for teachers? I they are cool with that, I am definitely am. We need to name a specific place though...I live in Recoleta, so someone who lives in Palermo should do it. Though I have been to Bar Uriarte and liked it alot. Can't wait to meet you guys!

Was this geared toward a specific group? If not, I'm always up for meeting new people! :) When/where?

And where exactly do you go to update the tourist visa? Mine will be up November 3rd...what should I do about this? I will only be in the coutry another 2 months after that. Thanks for the info!

Just so you guys know...I went ahead to the EXPO today (just in case I had problems, I decided that I would go early and go back every day until SOMEONE let me get my packet-ha!) and I had NO trouble at all. In fact, since the guy let me register at the store, I got the Argentine price, which...

Yes! Let's do it...what time would you like to go? I am free as a bird anytime...we could try Saturday and just hope that everything goes smoothly. I guess these requirements for foreigners are a new thing and many, many people have complained this year...according to one of the registration...

I would be interested in this as well. I've actually never even attempted climbing, but I LOOOOVE a new challenge and though I'm in shape, would love to try something new. :)

I don't know...it was the strangest thing and caused me a great amount of stress and running around for virtually no reason. But live and learn, huh? I am hoping it won't be an issue for the EXPO. Smcali, if you would like to go to the EXPO together, I would love a partner in crime! :) I...

I have only lived here for month but have found the locals especially kind, forgiving, cheerful and patient with my extremely inadequent Spanish. There are kind people everywhere, and assholes everywhere...you just can't throw an entire race into either category-that's absurd. I understand the...
