    Cat calling

    This has been a really interesting thread. When I first came to BsAs in September 2009, I was horrified at how the men commented so openly. I felt really offended and thought it was disrespectful. When I spoke to my rather conservative and lovely Spanish teacher, she went to great pains to...

    Apartment rental....is this normal?

    I rented tourist rentals for the first 6 months I was here and also the year before for a month. It does seem normal that, basically, they will not guarantee to hold the apartment for any period that is unpaid - unless you can negotiate in person. I agree that you shouldn't pay in advance for...

    Hair Straightening - Brazilian Technique

    Hi. I am wanting to get my hair straightened. In Australia, I used to get the Japonese ironing technique done. Ryan suggested the Brazilian technique, but he is unable to get the product to do it himself and Terri does not do it (the two most recommended expat hairdressers). Apparently...

    Regular Friday Night Get Together - Friday 25th

    This Friday, the long lost Irish traveller (Liam) will be returning, gammy toe and all. He requested that the bar be one of our traditional bars, where he would feel at home, so the obvious choice was Breoghan's bar. Breoghan's Bar Pasaje San Lorenzo 389 San Telmo (its on a small side street...

    Best city tour?

    oh, and yes, you can get on and off. If you stayed on the bus I think it would take 4 hours at least for the trip in total (and you would not see San Telmo).

    Best city tour?

    Hi. I took some friends a few months ago on the open air bus. We boarded at Recoleta (on Avenida Libertador). Interestingly, the woman at the information desk told us we had to go to the desk at Florida street and buy tickets, but we were able to buy them on the bus (I don't know why they say...

    Can you help a homeless child?

    'tis the time to be merry....Sergio, happy to help. I live in Recoleta, not sure how far/close that is from you and I'm sure my contribution will just require some good hearty eating and not alot of luggage. Let me know what would be the best contribution - happy to buy anything (some good Arg...

    Fresh expat

    Hiya, I'm an Aussie, 37, who came here for a two week holiday, stayed for 2 months and then packed up and moved here :). I certainly understand some of the challenges and yes, while I value completely immersing myself in the Argentine culture, I have recently realised the value of an expat...

    Crime in BA

    Its more that camera equipment is very expensive here (well, all electronics really), and the locals are really aware of crime. So, by wearing it around your neck, you are essentially letting people know you are a tourist and also could send the message that you are a 'rich tourista'.

    Looking for some items, help appreciated

    If you're looking for old furniture, there is a market on Dorrego y Niceto in Palermo. Also, Rivadavia (around 7000) is quite good for both new and old furniture and seems to be alot cheaper than some other places.

    Crime in BA

    Hi! I am a keen photographer also. Generally, I just make sure I don't walk around with my SLR hanging around my neck. I take pictures, then put it back in my bag - not the Nikon bag, just a large handbag that has enough room for my SLR :). And yes, some barrios are safer than others.
