i recommend jackson hewitt too

first of all, thank you to everyone for your wonderful and informative posts! Given that so many of you have traveled throughout LatAm, I was wondering if any of you know of reasonably priced places to live in the region (I am on a fixed income). I know that often there is a trade-off between...

happy bday!!!!!!!

JoeBlow, I love what you wrote but one thing here is that people say hello to strangers when they enter an elevator...i did this in the US and I got very strange looks!

just have a grimaced look like you just ate one too many polish sausages and you will fit in

you wont go wrong with my favorite...PIEGARI 4326-9654/9430 Direccion: Posadas 1042, Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, Argentina Web: http://www.piegari.com.ar/ pricey but HUGE portions...so share! my favorite

i highly recommend Dr Marina Segabache of Hospital Aleman...really good person! great doctor...dont know if she knows English

just tell them you have no pre-existing conditions and then feign that something hurts, get the tests, and get the surgery...dont go the honest route and tell them about any preexisting conditions

i carry one of those money belts if i am carrying a substantial amount of money (you can get them in a farmacia)..the funny thing is that i have never been robbed on a subway in Bs As (i have been here since 1994) but i was THREE DAYS in NY last year and a pickpocket got my frigging wallet! the...

maybe let's extend the scope a little bit (dont want to highjack the thread): do you find it hard to make Argentine friends? maybe it is me, but i dont find it easy... i have lived here since 1994 and my first few years were really tough...my friends are usually from the provinces who are also...

another great one to eat is CUMANA on Rodríguez Peña 1149 (though very crowded, slow service, uncomfortable chairs, but awesome food at a great price)...go at odd times such as right at 730-8pm or at 12 noon for lunch....they have great food from the "interior provinces" also be sure you...

if you want them to be shocked by a "suprema de pollo napolitana" all for a very reasonable price try the FAROLA in front of the Ateneo Book Store on Santa Fe and Riobamba...you can also get this to go...it is massive, great-tasting, and it will be a meal they will take pictures of!

my favorite cafe to work in is LAS MENINAS bar next to the Cervantes Theatre...beautiful oasis...libertad 849

over the years, I have found pastries in Argentina pretty disappointing...many times i have gone to confiterias and the sweets LOOK great and then when you try them they are awful and you need to drown everything in dulce de leche to make them edible i am a big fan of a traditional confiteria...

my personal opinion as an asthmatic living here for a long time: see a good specialist called a "neumonologo"...my favorite is Dr Prieto of Hospital Aleman (he speaks English well) and splurge for the visit if you are not on a health plan...he is a really caring doctor if you already know what...

here since 1994!!!... while menem was president and international investment was growing; optimism in the air; privatizations of public companies....went through the excitement of the dotcom boom/bust, the fall of de la rua, the beginning optimism of kirchner, the current mess i was making...

i would not even try the public universities as you are entering a political mine...less political (generally!) are the private ones...the best way is to try to find a contact at the target university and ask around, ask to be introduced to the department head...sending resumes without a...

i highly recommend SAKE on berutti 2640 48229100/48219111 sakesushi.com.ar i am impressed by the consistent quality though they take a while to deliver...i have ordered from here over a dozen times...the only thing negative is that they are a bit slow...

they have been doing these "AFIP" shows ever since I have been here...all for show...i remember in the 90s an army of agents descended on small shops in Palermo, closed many of them, and then after a few days all were open again...

There were very public protests in the streets of Los Angeles by "illegal aliens" about their rights or supposed rights...people rarely get deported in the US for being a foreign resident and speaking their minds...yes there are cases in the news of searches that look for illegals but we all...
