Hi everyone, My sister is coming to visit, and we'll be doing some traveling (and spending, of course!) while she's here. Since I haven't had dollars in my hands for over a year, nor have I had to withdraw funds from my bank accounts in the States, I just assumed that we could withdraw money...

Hey again everyone, I'm having a dinner on Monday night and will need ingredients from Barrio Chino. As Monday is a feriado, does anyone know if everything will be open then? The fresher the better, so I'd like to wait to Monday if possible...

Hey all, I'll be flying to Uruguay for a month this summer, and was wondering if Americans have to pay the entry (and a rumored exit) fee at Aeroparque or if that's only from Ezeiza. It is an international flight, obviously, but not from the international airport. I am overstayed, so I'll have...

Early tomorrow morning I need to catch a cab up to Olivos, and I was wondering about getting taxis out of Capital proper (I know there are certain rules/things to consider). I'd like to call one ahead of time, can I just call any radio taxi? Does anyone have a number? I live in Almagro, if that...

Hello all, I'm finally starting to plan my return to the US, and so I will need to buy a plane ticket sometime here in the near future. I'll be flying to California, and will be leaving (*sniff sniff*) in January or February, after doing some traveling around Argentina. I was wondering how far...

I'm wondering if anyone knows about absentee voting for the November election. I've been to the website about it (I'm a California resident): http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/elections_m.htm#apply, but it's still all a little hard to sift through, since it doesn't seem like your standard absentee...

It's only a few days away!! Any events planned that anyone knows of? I'm ready to get my USA on! :)

I've tried to search the forums but apparently "gym" is too common a word so I didn't get anything; sorry if this is a repeat subject. I'm looking for a gym in Almagro (near Cordoba and Bulnes). I don't need anything fancy, just something with a couple machines... don't really have the budget...

I was a pastry chef in the States, but am self/experience-taught. I plan on doing culinary school when I return home (whenever THAT is...), but have been looking into it here, too, since I'm already here. Thing is, I've been generally disappointed with the pastries here, although they're...

I've been looking into taking Spanish classes at la UBA, and could have sworn I'd heard something about semester-long classes. I work and earn pesos, so I don't have the time or money for intensive courses. From what I gather, though, there is the Centro Universitario de Idiomas, and the...

I have a friend visiting me, she's been here for 2 weeks and I've taken her to all my go-to steak places, but we want to do one more for her last night (tonight) here, and I thought it would be a good chance to try somewhere new. Where do you go? Some prereq's (just to be difficult): We don't...

Hi all, I'll be traveling from San Pedro de Atacama, in Chile, to Salta in early/mid May. I've heard that bus tickets can be sold out for weeks in advance (a friend who was there in Feb. told me..). I also feel like I've heard that it's not possible to buy tickets unless you're there in person...

Hi all, Just wondering if I would be able to buy things wholesale, or "por mayor" with my CUIT number? Also, I know there is the restaurant supply district, but does anyone know where I can buy edibles in bulk / wholesale (flour, sugar, etc...)? I´m also still on the lookout for cake delivery...

Hi all, I'm looking for shortening for baking, but haven't seen it. Any idea where I can find some, or what it's called here? Thanks!

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know who/what is behind the nightly 10:30 fireworks show in Recoleta? I have an amazing view of it from my apt., and it shakes the windows, it's so close! Just wondering what it's all about....???

So my roomies and I signed a reserva for an apt. a couple of weeks ago, and paid a holding fee. We're all set to move in on December 1st: we've given our notice at our current apt., which we desperately need to get out of. I just received an email from the rental agency that basically says the...

I'm currently looking for a job, and most of them ask for my salary requirements. I'm a graphic designer, and so if anyone has any specific information as to what I can expect (jr. designer, midlevel, sr., etc) that would be amazing. But I think what would help more, is some sort of general...

Hi all! I know it seems pretty far away still, but New Year's will be upon us sooner than we know! I was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions for Argentine New Year's? I've heard that BsAs itself is kinda dead (so many people on holiday, quizas?), but that there are some great places in...

Hi everyone, I've been in BsAs for only 2 weeks, I'm here on a tourist visa, and was planning on extending (where do I do that again?) every six months and then hopping over to Uruguay every six months (alternating between the two), to stay legal. This will work, right? Okay, but that's not my...
