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...

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...

Hello expats, especially speakers of french and french restaurant lingo experts! I'm stuck on a French expression here, hoping someone on this board can help me. I'm a proofreader going over a French to English translation and the phrase, 'chef d’une table exceptionnelle' has been translated as...

I haven't done it yet but I know it's possible, to lend Kindle titles for two weeks to another kindle user. I'm desperate for some new reading material and the cost of books here is too depressing for words. I have State of Wonder (Ann Patchett) Night Strangers (Chris Bohjalian) The Hunger...

Hello expats, I decided to finally take that one month intensive course to improve my decent but still much lacking castellano.

Hello, has anyone had a good experience with laser hair removal here? I had it done in the states some seven years back, was thrilled with the results, then tried a place here in BsAs and it was nowhere near as effective and obviously a different technology. I searched some of the threads on...

I searched for info and the threads were pretty old, so I thought it was worth finding out if anyone has had good luck with a particular place. I had 5 sessions something like seven years ago in the US and while it hurt like getting snapped with a rubber band, it was very effective. I bought a...

Hi expats, an Argentine friend asked me recently if I knew the meaning of the expression 'stuffing around,' as in 'the company is stuffing around,' in a slangy business sense, I guess. This isn't anything I've ever heard in the US, but he was talking with someone in South Africa, so that's not...

Anyone interested in trying to get a group together in the Belgrano-NUnez-Colegiales area, or are there any ongoing willing to take a new member? My dream would be to be part of a group of four to six people with one teacher that meets twice a week for an hour and a half or so, maybe for six...
