    David Rooney is banned here - and this is why

    Sounds a bit harsh and of course you are only posting one side. Maybe people should hear both sides before jumping to conclusions. That would seem rational and fair to me.

    Private English conversation class rates?

    Point well taken. Problem is the adult and 3 kids end up all being taught in the same way with no individualization of material or teaching method for the different learning styles. Cost effective, but not most effective. When it comes down to it you are right, they probably won't see things...

    Private English conversation class rates?

    Nothing wrong with a nominal fee of say an extra 10 pesos when more people are added in. Unless of course you are just going to read from a book. As with everything, more work should warrant more money.

    traveling to other s. am. countries

    Fair play since our countries charge them to enter. May be wrong, but my understanding is they are the same.

    Private English conversation class rates?

    You also should consider it is a group and the amount of extra time that will be put in with prep work and assessments. I charge 60 pesos for an individual, but always have the back and forth interaction of giving homework and making corrections outside of that hour.

    Vomiting every 2 weeks!

    I am actually a lot healthier here. At first there was a bit of adjustment and I got sick a couple times, but now I feel great. My diet is a mix of home cooked and restaurant. I eat a lot of veggies along with meat. Less stress here helps too. As for water, I just use a Brita filter. Your body...

    Off the beaten path art? Street Art?

    Hey Mario, Spanglish is great for meeting people. There is usually a group that goes out after. If you want to see graffiti Biking Buenos Aires has a graffiti tour and I think Day Clicker goes by similar spots. Other than that, bars like Sugar in Soho are full of expats. Unico is busy most...

    Windows 7, good camera for Skype. Bought it in October, but haven't used it in months. Great shape, but I won't use it anymore. It is like this one... http://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar/MLA-120951487-hp-mini-110-3523la-casi-nueva-3-meses-de-uso-impecable-_JM

    Health Insurance

    Thanks for the info. I assume the 210, 310 etc. are level of coverage and Neo is babies. Is IVA a tax? Looking for insurance for 39yr old (would that be individual then). Will be in Buenos Aires for 6-8 months.

    Expats making friends with Porteños

    Really? Maybe children mix up 'friend' and 'acquaintance', but I'm pretty sure adults have a good grasp on it. Although I don't think the thread was about 'Are my friends sincere?'

    Makin' a run for the Uruguayan Border?

    Makin' a run for the Uruguayan Border?

    Thanks for all the info. Would like some specifics about the penguins and sea lions though. Loved the charm of Montevideo with the laid back people and seafood and all, but I would love to see the penguins and sea lions in particular. I didn't realize penguins would be that far north. What...

    Ash cloud and flying

    Flew to Toronto through Santiago with no difficulties Monday night. Security and immigration lines weren't bad either. I was checking flights for days leading up to mine just in case the ash cloud was a problem and seems everything's been fine for a while.

    Bad Management at Chi Cha

    They let go of one of their 2 amazing bartenders and now have a rude jackass watching over everything. Fine if a bar wants to hire someone to watch over things, but don't hire someone who is rude to customers. No need for a stare down when the bill comes. What an idiot. Not going back there again.

    Best Delivery Restaurants

    Love the Pizza Trieste at Piola. Mmmmm bacon... Sad they don't deliver, but it's good to walk there before eating the bacon pizza. Siamo Nel Forno is good too (great crust), but the Trieste is my favourite!!! @banknote - really you should at least give a reason if you are going to put a remark...
