    I remember reading somewhere that each province has an office of some sort, with a store that sells local artesenal goods from that province, in Capitol Federal. Now I can't find anything about them. I'm particularly interested in finding the ones from the Salta and Jujuy area. Does anyone...

    New Classifieds

    Not sure if we're allowed to do this (I'm sure I'll get deleted if we're not), but I wanted to let people know we just put a bunch of stuff in the "classifieds" section, since we're leaving in a month. Good stuff, I promise!

    We are hoping to sell a couple cell phones before we leave Argentina. We will likely still have some credit on them. Is it a bad idea to sell them with the SIM cards in them?

    New blog about Argentina language and culture

    Not to shamelessly promote my husband's blog, but I thought some of you might find it interesting. He's a Spanish and Italian teacher in the US, and is writing a blog about Argentine culture and language. Of course, I'm biased, but I think it's pretty good...
