33 USD for a dozen red roses del inc. Still pretty bad as I just passed a florist on the street who was selling a dozen for 6 pesos.

Ask for Connie, she can give u a good time!

I'm going to BsAs in June!!! Going to Las Cañitas. Are you able to get a fulltime job as a foreigner?

Probably, but don't expect to make much. Avg. salaries are between 2500-3000 pesos per month (less than $1000).

It's working with my (french) Mastercard. Thank you ! No more 300 pesos debits..

I have a Samsung SyncMaster 245BW 24-inch LCD Monitor that I am looking to sell for $500 US. It is in very good, like new condition. Buying a monitor like this in BA would cost twice as much. If you are interested in buying it, PM me. I will be leaving in 2 weeks so I would like to sell if before then. I will be selling other stuff as well, which I will be posting in the thread in the coming days.

I guess at least my MasterCard would work since the neteller card is also a MC. And I actually read someone on another forum mentioning the same kind of ATMs letting you withdraw that amount, I just didn't have a clue if that information was accurate, but you guys seem to know your ****.

I'm not really sure what you mean with the 15-20k figure. From what I have gathered so far I only need USD in cash for rent and not much else, right? I should be able to cover the rest of my living expenses by withdrawing money in BsAs, obviously provided that I can actually withdraw money, but since all you guys seem to manage I figure I'll be too.
If you mean that I need around 15-20k USD total for the entire stay, some of it in cash and some of it in pesos, then I just suck at reading/understanding.

bring some warm clothes :-)

Not officially on a tourist visa, but many employers don't really care....lots of english teachers here work for cash.

Ahh, I understood that you wanted to bring cash to cover ALL your costs for your stay, not just rent.

You'll have no problem withdrawing money here.

Hi guys:

Do you have any idea whether there are good conservatories in Bs. As? Good teachers?. How is the classical music scene there? good orchestras?

Well, not for weekly stuff, but with some of the limits it might be wise to bring some buffer cash aside from rent.

ugh.... I mean I know they exist and I've seen orchestra performances but I am no connoisseur of classical music so I wouldn't know if they are good or not. My first guess would be to do some internet searching on the subject and maybe check out some information about Teatro Colon. They have those types of things there. Concerning teachers, I wouldn't have the slightest.

*Grunch*

I believe you said you had a job on the first page. Do you do some type of unskilled labor over there to pay bills or what do you do?

Is it possible for an american w/o a college degree to pack up, move there and start work but not say do **** that is worth 2 Pesos a day.

I'm not sure if translation work or teaching requires a college degree or not. I think I've heard of some that don't. I think I've heard of salaries around 25-35 pesos an hour.

I'd be better off moving to Asia and doing translation work in Korea, etc. for 20k+ then?
