Hi David, sorry I can't recommend you any pet sitters, but surely I'd never ever recommend you Branwell Mahon. This guy isn't really a pet sitter, he's just starting as he can't get a good job, so he has "cero experiencia" in pet sitting. And if you are the kind of person who thinks it's fair...

Forget about 'Dave' aka 'Branwell'... He never listens. I know him. If I told you what my opinion about him is, I'd be censored :( Some trainers are great trainers but not really good people, if you know what I mean...

Hey there - still in BA? Please let me know. Thanks in advance, N.

Hello, I've decided to repost this. I'm a local and I'm currently looking for a personal trainer, male or female, English speaker (native), qualified and experienced. I want to train in the Bosques de Palermo, as I really love the environment. I'd like to start in December, 1 x week for the...

Hello, I'm a local, female, and I live in the southern area of Gran Buenos Aires. I'm looking for a personal trainer, male or female, English speaker (native), qualified and experienced. I want to train in the Bosques de Palermo (preferrably in the Belgrano section), as I really love the...

I guess you could be considered a great trainer IF your wife wasn't bothering your female clients, Branwell...

Hi Sean, welcome to BA!

And criticising him for saying he was a white South African is at least intolerance, but the other way round.

So if there isn't so much racism here, what do "bolita", "paragua", "ponja", "negros", etc. mean? Why do minorities only find "trabajo en negro"? Why do you people grab your things tightly when somebody wearing a cap comes across your way? Are your aborigins treated better? There are no separate...

Well, he was just willing to make it clear that he was a white South African and, honestly, I can't find anything wrong in that. But it seems to have bothered you. Anyway, we're all living in a country where you will find more racists that in Africa, and where black people are seen as freaks...

I'm a local, I was married for 5 years, I work as a tutor at a language school and I teach English, French (basic) and Italian (beginners). As Lennon (John, not Neil, lol) would say, "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans" so here I am, it's weird to find myself like...

Welcome to BA, Sean. All the best, N.

I think they are mainly reviewing the "southern issue". It went public when they started saying that Stallone had bought a HUGE parcel in the south, comprising not only land but also lakes and natural resources. Now they are in private hands and not available for locals. I don't think they're...

Hi people, any idea of where to buy cottage cheese in BA (anywhere in BA)? There used to be a brand in Argentina, Mendicrim, but when it was sold to another company, they gave up producing it. I wish I could taste cottage cheese again... Don't send me any recipes, please, I s--k as a cook! :D...

I don't think so. I usually Google the matches and find an online channel to view them, but I must agree with you - streaming... stinks. I think there's no other way... Celtic and Rangers drew today, and I wasn't able to watch all of it! :( Mia.

I agree with the reply right above. It depends on where in the US you live. Mia.

Hi, welcome back. Yep, it is what it is - either you love it or... It's up to you. Happy Easter, N.

It has to do with the natural process of adjustment. When you first arrive here, you see Argentina through pink spectacles and tend to idealise it. After some time, this distorted image starts to fade out and you begin seeing things more clearly. Argentina is not a paradise, but you can still...

You should take up a hobby, join a club or association and expect to meet nice Argentines there. So bad I'm much older than you are, or I'd help you. :) Good luck! All the best, N.

Some Argentinian people are open-minded and wouldn't take the term "Argie" as an offence, even if they know about the negative connotation it had during Malvinas' War. Some people would take anything as an offence, e.g. being addressed as 'South Americans". It depends on their egos, I think...
