    Punk Rope Fitness and Whisky

    Sorry for the late reply ... yes you can show up to the whisky tasting and not the fitness class. It's a separate thing and happens every wednesday. I highly recommend it. Unfortunately, I don't teach any classes indoors. The area where the class is taught is actually right near the track...

    Punk Rope Fitness and Whisky

    Hi guys, I just wanted to invite you all to this fitness class I am teaching in Palermo Park. It's called Punk Rope and it's a punk rock-inspired mash-up of boot camp and recess. It was originally created in NYC and I'm trying to bring it to Buenos Aires. Class is usually 25 pesos, but if...

    good hairdresser

    I had a haircut with Nina about a month ago, and she was great. She came to my house, and is super friendly. She made sure that I got the exact cut I wanted, and I'm very pleased with the results. She charged 80 pesos for a woman's cut, which was totally reasonable. I would definitely...

    Recommendations for Allergists in BsAs

I have Staff Medico, so I do have a list of allergists that are covered under my plan, but there's no telling who speaks English, or who is any good. If anyone has some recommendations it...

As for the cancelled classes, if a student cancels with less than 24 hours notice, they are charged anyway (and...

    Is BsAs that dangerous??

    Urgh, I am from Brooklyn and I am so sick of hearing people complain about Buenos Aires being dangerous. It's a city. There are like 13 million people. Sometimes there is crime. That's life. But in general, walking around both in the daytime and in the wee hours of the morning, I have never...

    Landlady demands "clean" US bills for deposit

    I had this problem in Peru and Bolivia not only with bills with slight rips or tears in them, but also with "ink stained" bills that had been straight from the bank (I think the bank actually uses the ink to verify that the bills are real). The worst case of this problem occurred when they...

    Getting a job teaching English with weird hair

    Hi, I'm moving to BA next month and hoping to get a job teaching English (I'm TEFL certified and all that). I currently have a purple streak in my hair, which has never impeded me from getting a job here in NYC but I'm wondering how people in BA view that sort of thing. I could grow it out...
