Expat Connection used to be a great group for new expats to meet and take part in organized outings in and around Buenos Aires. I met a lot of great friends through them and took part in a lot of events that they had when I first moved here. Unfortunately, the group fell apart some … Read more

Ok, so your immediate thought on reading the title of this post is, “What? Barbecue in Buenos Aires?

UPDATE: The fee has gone into effect. Please check out my newer post on Argentina’s new entrance fee. Good news for expats and tourists alike! Argentina’s proposed tourist entry fee which was scheduled to start January 1, 2009, and then re-scheduled for March 2009, has been postponed indefinitely. This means that those trips to Uruguay … Read more
