Hello expats, it's been a minute since I lived in BsAs, but I married an Argentinian so continue to have ties. My husband's mother is nearly bedridden and needs full time in-home personal care and cooking. She lives in Recoleta and is a monolingual Spanish speaker. If you're looking for such...

thanks, but there's no room on the flight. Two months before the flight, that wasn't enough time. So I made my reservation on Continental, with some nice young person in the US who has no clue whatsoever how things work in Argentina. So in case anyone else finds themselves in this delightful...

I'm sure I've read of others shipping their pets as cargo from EZE to the US on this site, am I nuts? **** Good Morning, Thank you for your interest in shipping with American Airlines Cargo. On November 8th, 2010, major Transportation Security Administration and Department of Homeland...

This was my impression as well, that the process is relatively simple, a pain in the neck bringing paperwork here and there but not much different from the process in the US. What's making me insane is that we're being told it isn't possible to fly animals out of Argentina as an individual; I...

Hey expats, So I made a reservation with Continental Petsafe to ship my two cats back to San Francisco, the same way they arrived a year and a half ago. I made the reservation June 1st. Our original return tickets were with Continental, now they are with United since the merger. We get a call...

thanks for the interest! Rachel21, let me know asap about the movies, I have someone else who could use them....

Leaving very soon, books to pass on, 5 pesos each or 40 if you take them all: Wicked and Son of A Witch by Gregory Maguire Let the Great World Spin by Colum McCann (great if dark linked short stories) Glow in the Dark, Lisa Teasley (short stories, also dark!) Where the God of Love Hangs Out...

It would help knowing what neighborhood you are in, to see whether what I might suggest would be accessible for you. I would start by checking out the Planetario Revista website, which lists a lot of kid friendly activities. I'm not sure what there is for really little ones but it's worth a...

We're going home next week and I have a pile of kids' books and movies and some adult fiction to practically give away, 2 pesos each. 50 pesos for taking all books, 50 pesos for all movies! Most of the kid's books are for 2-5 year olds, a few go young and a few go older, depending on your kid...

Check out the classes at Bellas Artes, through AAMNBA (Asociacion de Amigos de Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes). I brought my son to one of the tallers they offered during the winter break and it was awesome--well-organized, beautiful workshop, pleasant, professional teachers, perfectly age...

Hi Argengina, I'm not the OP but I've got four or five gently used yoga mats for sale. I bought them for 90 pesos each when I arrived and some have only been used a half dozen times or so. It's a basic blue sticky yoga mat, and yours for 50 pesos or 10$ US. Pm me if you're interested Julie

I brought my two 18 year old cats with me and am now getting ready to bring them back with me to the US, 1 1/2 years later....I was kinda thinking they might have retired to Cordoba by now but looks like they'll be making the return trip:) There's a great animal rescue organization called...

Our landlord does a little better, 5:1. Our original contract was in dollars. We did our best to scrape up the dollars for most of the last year, until a couple months ago, when they agreed to let us pay in pesos at a rate not as low as the official but not as high as the blue dollar either...

If you haven't given Raymond a try, definitely do so. You can find him on this thread if you search it, or you can PM me and I'll pass on his number (not sure I should post it here, would rather err on the side of caution with people's info...) good luck Julie

I am really enjoying the yogurt from El Galpon, the mercado organico on Lacroze, open Wednesdays and Saturdays. It's the only yogurt I've found that doesn't have gelatin and is not hideously sweet with sugar or edulcorante (which shows up even in 'yogurt' marketed towards kids, grrrr). Anyway...

Hi Neeta! I'm so glad you've gotten some kind responses. I am sure you will find some good people to connect with on this site. I'd also be happy to get together and have a coffee and share stories! Regarding the path to self-discovery you mentioned and meeting like-minded folk: the yoga...

I've been combing the various threads for info on bringing my two elderly cats back to the US with me in August. The Petsafe program that used to be part of Continental's service, what we came down here with, is still available on MOST United and Continental flights, but not all, so you need...

You can order them to be delivered or pick them up one of several dropoff places from Pancho Villa. They're pretty good, and it's one of the only places I've found where you can buy corn tortillas as well. Casa China in Barrio China carries the Macritas brand. So does our local chino super on...

Wow, I am blown away by the number of people that offered to help out this family and their son. We were able to find someone who will bring the gloves and I just amazed how quickly and freely people offered their assistance. It was unimaginable to me, how one goes forward after such a tragedy...

Hi expats, The 15 year old son of a friend of our family was shot in the back and left a paraplegic. He is just learning to use a wheelchair and is in need of a type of gloves that we could purchase in the US that would help this process a lot. Is anyone coming soon from the US who would be...
