I've received five requests so far, so I think the food is spoken for. I will let you know if there is anything left over. Thanks!

Thanks, everyone! Our time here has been amazing, and everyone on this forum has been really helpful. I was an expat with private internet access, and I gladly accepted some free staples from friends who were leaving town. I figured there might be other people who wouldn't mind saving a few...

Hi everyone, I'm leaving BA on Thursday, and I have some food left over that I won't be able to use up. There will probably be some rice, pasta, lots of spices, different kinds of flour, cooking oils/vinegars/sauces, a few kinds of tea, some canned goods, etc. Ideally I'd like for someone to...

Everything is less than a year old, and in like-new condition unless otherwise stated. All prices listed are half of the original price. Photos available at: http://laureninba.wordpress.com/2011...or-sale-in-ba/ (Note: there are some items pictured that have been sold.) Please e-mail me at...

Update: the mugs, frying pan, muffin pan, and Wok recipe book have been claimed. Everything else is still available--let me know if you're interested or if you have any questions!

Hey everyone, I'll be checking out of my apartment in a week, and I'm trying to do everything possible to ensure I get my whole deposit back. I was the first renter in a newly refinished (but not entirely well-built) apartment, so I'm afraid my landlord will have unrealistic expectations...

I'm leaving BA on June 30th (crossing my fingers that the ash cloud doesn't blow back over!). I have some things that I've acquired over the last nine months that I'd like to sell. Everything is less than a year old, and in like-new condition unless otherwise stated. All prices listed are...

I was in Bariloche earlier this week (lucky me) and I got a ton of ash in my eye while I was waiting for a bus. I rinsed it out a few times with saline solution and it's fine now, so I would second that recommendation. Good luck!

I don't know whether I have Cablevision, but it just started on channel 37 for me.

Probably a stupid question, but I can't find the information on the website you posted: is this a course for native/fluent speakers of Spanish? I'd love to take a course like this, but I haven't found anything yet for intermediate/advanced Spanish learners.

I took a class at Esquina de las Flores on Gurruchaga in Palermo. I believe that they have other locations around the city as well. I think it was 80 pesos for four classes, and you can sign up one session at a time. The teacher (I think she also owns the restaurant) is warm and full of...

I did mine at a Kodak place on Scalabrini between Paraguay and Charcas. 17 pesos for two photos, very quick service.

I received a kilo this afternoon and I had to stop myself from eating half the bag in one sitting. Really sweet and fresh--if you like tomatoes, I'd definitely recommend ordering some of these. Thanks Drew!

I was just at the falls a few weeks ago, and I did the Brazil/Argentina border crossing several times. I did a lot of research and I didn't come across anything about a temporary visa just to see the other side of the falls. As far as I know, US citizens have to pay for the full 10 year visa...

I actually did try that too...for some reason it still wouldn't go past a certain point. I think it needs the power of a pump. If anyone has any other suggestions, I'd appreciate it!

I have friends visiting for the week and I'm trying to make them more comfortable in my tiny, poorly equipped apartment. They brought an air mattress, but it doesn't have a pump. We were able to fill it about 3/4 of the way with a hair dryer, but no further than that. Does anyone (in...

About two months after I arrived in BA, I found it frustrating that so many people discourage others from coming here (wait for the "but"). I came here with a little savings, but I was able to find a few teaching jobs and I made enough to live on very modestly. Now that I've been here for five...

I don't know of any institutes that will hire teachers before they arrive. I had to wait until I got here to interview, and I believe that's pretty standard throughout the city. With experience and a CELTA, I don't think you'll have a problem finding jobs here, as long as you're willing to...

I really miss feta cheese too! I've seen it occasionally at Carrefour, but I haven't tried it. I tried some brie made by the same brand once, and it was pretty bad. It's expensive, so I haven't given the feta a shot. There is a specialty store in Palermo (corner of Malabia and Charcas I...

It seems that there's more than 100 pesos difference between the platea and popular tickets!! I searched previous posts, but I can't really get a clear idea. Is the popular section okay if as long as you don't act like a clueless tourist? I should mention that I'm a pretty short woman (just...
