I have no idea about how complicated it might be to get a CAT or MRI (others here seem to have that info) -- however, I can share that I had a good experience with the private hospital, Hospital Aleman. I needed to see an OB/GYN, was able to make an appointment one day ahead, had t wait almost...

Funny! I had the same thought about all those folks staggering home from late night night drinking!

In a couple of weeks, I have to be at Jorge Newbury airport at the ungodly hour of 5:00am. Does anyone know if taxis prowl all night (I'm near two major avenidas -- Campos & Libatador). Will I have any problems snagging a taxi at 4:15am? Thanks! Peaco

I'd love to join the group -- I leave in early May so this might be my only chance to meet up with some expats. Peaco

Toward the end of April I plan to spend about 5 days in Ushuaia -- if anyone has recommendations for lodgings I'd love to hear them! One that I found on Trip Advisor -- Tierra de Leyendas, I believe -- had good customer reviews but if someone has experience or a better recommendation, please...

Hi Charlie, I rented a one-bedroom in Las Canitas for four months from an agency called ByTArgentina. They've been fine thus far: reliable, responsive to problems, etc. You might check them out. Peaco

Thanks, Roxana!

Sounds great -- thanks so much! Peaco

Hi Agua. I also live in Las Canitas (been here for three whole weeks!) and I'm lucky enough to have a Porteno friend in Belgrano and two others around the city. If you'd like to meet for coffee sometime, maybe I can then introduce you to some folks. At the moment, I'm sick with a very nasty...

Does anyone know of a good art supply store near Palermo, Belgrano or Las Canitas? I'm primarily interested in good drawing paper (bristol board, acid free, etc). Suggestions appreciated!

Hey, yeah, go PACK! I'm (sob) a Patriots' fan but if they can't be there, then I'm all for GB.

Thanks so much for the Staples address.

What a very kind offer! If I can't find a place nearby, I'll take you up on it. Much appreciated....

Hi everyone, I'm here for 4 mos (2 weeks in). I'm a cartoonist/illustrator who does most of my work in Photoshop. Usually I draw on paper, scan the drawing into my computer and go from there. Before coming, I bought a Wacom Bamboo tablet instead of bringing my scanner, but I can't get the...

I'm interested, too. I want to work on a graphic novel and would love to support and be supported by other fiction writers. My local number is 4899-1604. Peaco

I too live in Las Canitas and joined a gym (Megatlon) on Migueletes (and Olleros) -- I guess that's technically in Belgrano. The gym offers a number of yoga classes as well as other stuff: spinning, Pilates, dance, etc. They also have a weight room and a nice pool. I've only been here a week...

Hi Uncle Dermot, I will do that -- although now I have the problem that I loved my first books so much I don't want to give them up! but I will.

Hi, I'm here for only 4 months -- I rented an apartment through an agency called ByTArgentina <[email protected]> -- a woman I know in Boston who grew up in BA uses them for her occasional month-long stays and she recommended them. They found me a very nice apartment in the charming...

I might also be interested... and certainly not in bashing Obama. Do you know of the wonderful column by Andy Borowitz? (http://www.borowitzreport.com/) He's hilarious - I particularly like his comment about Michelle Bachman giving the official moron response.

Hi Matt, I just arrived in BA last week for a 4-month stay and I'd love to learn salsa (I don't know much but I'm a pretty good dancer in general) and practice with you (until that salsa-dancing girlfriend comes along :-)). Would you like to meet for coffee at some point? I'm in Las Canitas...
