Hi, I'm looking into having a dress made here ... does anybody have a reliable dressmaker to recommend? I'm getting married in the States in January but I'm interested to see if it will end up cheaper to have a dress made here than to buy one there (taking advantage of the blue rate, of course)...

I recently acquired a lovely banjo and a "How to Play the Banjo" lesson book. At the time I was super excited because I've always wanted to play the banjo, but I totally forgot that I'm not much of a "teach yourself" kind of girl. This might be a long shot but.... do y'all know anyone who plays...

Hi to all, My Argentine boyfriend is currently looking for a job and asked if I would post on here to see if any expats are hiring or know someone who is. He is 23, bilingual, and skilled with computers, and is working on a degree in tourism/hospitality. This seems like an appropriate place to...

I'm about to reserve tickets to see the Hunger Games (subtitled, not in Spanish) tomorrow night (Thursday) @ 10 pm, Village Cine Recoleta. Do any other fans want to come along?

Is anybody else surprised that this movie is being released here? I haven't seen it yet myself, but it's certainly stirred up plenty of controversy everywhere else for reasons that don't include the Malvinas/Falklands conflict. I'm just curious as to how everyone thinks it's going to be...

I have a pair of aviator Ray Bans that I brought from the States that need to be repaired, does anyone know if there's an official retailer here who can fix them (and possibly replace the broken part)?

Hi all! I've gotten a lot of great restaurant tips from this site, so I thought I'd return the favor. A new bar-restaurant just opened up in the Belgrano/Colegiales area and it is FANTASTIC!! The place is called Cervelar, "tienda de cervezas", and this is their second location in Buenos Aires...

I was just thinking about things that constantly make me smile about living in a Spanish-speaking culture, and one of those is getting Argentines to understand my name. My first name is Perri, so I usually get: "Your name is PERRRRRI? como 'perro'?! That's what we call dogs to get them to come...
