In retrospect, would you move again to Argentina? by Christine
Hi all, If you had to look back on your expat experience in Argentina, would you heartily say "letÂ’s do it again"? From the preparation stage to your actual everyday life in your new country, what did you enjoy the most? Would you do ...

Would love to know if there's a strong Irish community in Argentina by Spogglepop

Where to find a true French baguette?? by sabinabowler
Almost everywhere here sells these loaves of bread that they call baguettes, but they are impostors. Many of them are hard and stale before they're even sold! I've tried L'ebi and Matilda's (though they do have some good cupcakes) and fairly good ...
