Hi All, I'm heading back to the States for a wedding, and as a wedding gift I want to surprise the couple with a nice mate set--gourd, bombilla, thermos, and traditional rectangular carrying case. I'm looking for something usable, classic, and not super touristy. Does anyone have suggestions...

Thank you all for the suggestions, I will try these leads. Gatorverde, I've been using the copies of these books at the Biblioteca Nacional but I've found it to be sort of a pain (can't bring in my Spanish-English dictionary, have to a 1-peso coin for the lockers, few places to plug in a...

Hi Folks, I am in search of a specific book, "Historia de los Barrios de Bueons Aires" by Vicente Osvaldo Cutolo (actually two books, volumes 1 and 2). It's in Spanish and fairly technical. Anyone know of some bookstores I could try that specialize in history/local interest titles? I'm lost...

Hi All! I've started a project on my blog, the Buenoseria barrio guides. I'm still developing it and ironing out some kinks, but I just posted my pilot guide using Palermo Soho as my first neighborhood: http://buenoseriauxiliar.wordpress.com/2011/04/10/all-thats-good-in-palermo-soho-intro/...

Thank you all for the wonderful suggestions! Looks like I will have a factura odyssey this weekend. For those who are interested, I will be posting the finished piece on my blog early next week. Will update when it's ready! Best, Allison

Hey Meri! Hope you have an easy trip down here. I'm from the States and as well and am slowly building up a fun group of girls to hang out with here--send me a PM if you'd like to join us sometime!

Not sure yet on the career plans...my criteria right now is "income" :) But I do hope to get into writing and am building up my portfolio now. Small world that your brother is a city planner...there aren't that many of us!

I'm interested too, but not sure I follow all the cross-posts. If this is up and coming, I'd love to join!

Hey Rachelle! Hope the last the few days of preparation go smoothly...they will definitely be crazy. Let's get in touch when you are in town and settled--it looks like we have similar backgrounds :)

I'll be there too I think...looking forward to meeting you guys

Hi All, I recently arrived in Buenos Aires and hope to make it a long-term stay. Previously I was a city planning consultant in Florida, USA and took a leave of absence to do some travel around South America. During the trip I came to Buenos Aires, fell in love with it, and am in the process...
