anyone have extra tickets to this game? let me know [email protected], thanks

I'm hoping in the next month or so to see an opera at the Teatro Colon, and was wondering the best way to find an affordable ticket. Do they exist? I've seen people post on here before offering seats for U$D150, but I don't want to go that badly. Was hoping I might find something for less...

Hello all, I'm toying around with the idea of skiing in Las Leñas sometime in August or early September. I was wondering 1) if anyone has been this season, 2) if so, how it was, and 3) if anyone has any tips for me or internet resources that would help me decide whether or not to go and how...

I lost my camera the other day and am in search of another. Can anyone recommend a legit photography/camera shop to me? I want to discuss the differences in the cameras with someone who knows more than the price. Also, I go to Cartagena, Colombia in 2 weeks for a visit. Is it worth it to...

Hey, I've got a friend getting married in a couple of months in the US and I need to get fitted for a tux. I went to a menswear store today and asked the guy to measure me and he said "52" and pulled a jacket off of the wall. When I explained further that I needed actual measurements made, he...

So I don't have the loot to make Rio or Salvador happen, but I'm looking into alternate options. Montevideo and Guayelguayelgeyucheu (sic) come to mind. Anyone with any experience? Worth the trip? Also, is the BsAs Carnaval celebration worth a damn? Thanks!

I was thinking the other night about how I've been here for 5 months+, and while I've been there on Sundays for the street fair, I've never been out to sample the nightlife in San Telmo. That's a shame. Any recommendations on the board of places to go, especially places filled with beautiful...

Need one. English speaking a plus but by no means a requirement. Thanks much.

If anyone has any flights leaving today on LAN (like me... FML), there's a strike and no flights are leaving. Anyone with insider knowledge as to whether it gets lifted today, please let me know -- [email protected]. John

Anyone going to Torres del Paine over X-mas? I'm looking for people to trek with. Will be doing the W Circuit, looking to leave Puerto Natales on the 23rd or 24th. Holler at me.

Anyone know of a gallery of really good shots from the Final of the Abierto this past weekend? I want a few really good ones to complement my cache of blurry, far-off ones from the Dorrego Lateral, and ESPN's gallery is in a Flash-ish format from which I'm unsure how to save. John

Hello all, My kid brother is coming in March to visit, and we're planning to flyfish around Bariloche. We're looking for a bilingual guide to take us out. Anyone have any recommendations? Thanks for your help! And stay dry. John

What's the cheapest way for me to fly within the country? I read an article discussing how I might get the Argentine fares (http://www.gringoinbuenosaires.com/hacking-argentine-air-travel/) -- anyone tried this recently and/or know if it's legit? Also, Orbitz is giving me the same fare without...

So I'm thinking about bus-tripping over Christmas from BsAs up through the north, into Paraguay and Bolivia and then into Chile. I am from the USA. I'm already going to have paid Chile's $132 USD entrance fee, so that's not an issue. But I was curious if Paraguay and/or Bolivia had similar...

I want to go to the Gran Premio Nacional (i.e. the Argentine Derby) on the 13th of this month. Anyone ever been? Do I need to get tickets in advance or can I just walk in like any other day at the track? Anything I should be aware of that I may be missing? Thanks, John

So my (first) tourist visa expires on the 22nd. I'm leaving the country (for Chile) for a long weekend on the 19th, and coming back on the 23rd. My first question is whether I can renew my tourist visa upon returning without first going to Migraciones, i.e. can I pay my 300 pesos and get...

So, The only milk I've seen for sale in the supermarkets is sold unrefrigerated and in boxes that don't reseal. Further, once I buy it and bring it home and refrigerate it, the milk *always* smells a little funny. As a paranoid American, I tend to just toss it out. What's the deal. I mean...

So El Superclasico takes place on November 7, and I want to go. I understand tickets are near-impossible to come by. That said, I'm willing to pay a lot for tickets and wanted to know if anyone on this board had any knowledge as to how/where I could get tickets. Thanks! John

I'm curious as to whether outside of large concerts (i.e. Rage Against the Machine this Wednesday) I can expect to find people selling tickets at a discount, as I could at a non-sold-out concert back in the USA. Anyone have any experience with this? Do people scalp tickets in the lawns? I...

I'd like to see a doctor about a concern I have, and was curious the best way to do so. I think I had heard that it might be free? If not, how does one go about finding a general practitioner, and any suggestions are welcome. Thanks!
