Hola. I found your site...well done. I'll be coming to B A June 4. I'm going to try to come meet you. Do you still meet in café DALI (next door to "Centro Cultural Recoleta")between 7 and 9:30pm approx. every Tuesday ? I read that in one of Jose's note. What is the street address? What can you tell me about Aspen Suites? Is it nice? and is it centrally located?
Atention! We don´t get together at Dali´s anymore... We are still meeting at Recoleta Area but at a different Cafe!!
We prefer not to leave the adress here so I´m sending you the new adress by email.
Sorry, I´m afraid I don´t know nothing about Aspen Suites... let me search some info...
Buen día,
Tengo un nombre japones, pero soy frances, de nacionalidad, de nacimiento, y de corazón...
Por eso no encontraba la dirección del cafe, puedes darmela, para que vaya a saludarles ?
Muchas gracias,
Hideki
Yo estare en Buenos Aires en julio y me encantaria compartir ideas y amistad con ustedes.
Podria mandarme la direccion actual?
Muchas gracias,
RBLH
PD. Es cierto que las protestas y demoras continuen? Tengo entendido que hay basura y grafiti en todos lados. Espero que esto sea una exageracion. Otra cosita, conoce la estancia Josefina? Gracias.

Hello to everyone and thanks for this very informative site. I am from Australia and will travel to your country in March - I hope I get the opportunity to meet some of you.
I have spent the past 2 years teaching English in India, Nepal and Taiwan and now hope to find some teaching work in Buenos Aires. There are four areas I would really appreciate some advice about.
Firstly, how difficult is it to find teaching work? I understand jobs are advertised in the english language newspapers but are there other ways of finding teaching jobs?
Secondly, I would appreciate any suggestions about cheap, clean accommodation - around US$10.00 - I don't mind if it is pretty basic but it would be good if it was central.
Thirdly, can anyone recommend a school that offers CHEAP Spanish lessons.
And finally, are scooters used as a common form of commuting and if so is it possible for a foreigner to buy one?
I will be relocating to Buenos Aires with my family in Feb/March next year and I'm trying to find out more about the city (particularly cost of living, education, accommodation and so on).
I would love to hear from anyone who can help at all either directly, or by pointing me in the direction of other forums, etc.
Let us to know exactly what you want to know and we will help you. For example: the cost of accommodation depens on the place of the city where you want to live and the size of the appartment.
Dear Kieron,
I am a regular "tea-timer" who read your message. I'd like to start by saying that we will welcome you in our meetings in café DALI (next door to "Centro Cultural Recoleta")between 7 and 9:30pm approx. every Tuesday. I think that meeting a good deal of varied local people will be benefitial for you (as it is for any newcomer). At the same time we will have the opportunity to know each other better, and to reciprocally practise languages.
However, I could advance you some tips about present situation in Argentina.
Cost of life is very similar to any European country (France, England) There are obvious differences,for the better,in those things that are abundant here (e.g meat); and for the worse in other items which are considered more sophisticated here (video cameras, or a Mercedes-Benz). Buenos Aires is a 10 million inhab city where you can get the same things as in any other big city in the world.
As regards education (and I daresay anything else)you have from 5-star-quality to Zero-star-quality, it is all a question of being able to afford it. The great problem for too many argentinians is not the absence of things/services to be bought, but the lack of money to do so. Unemployment, under-employment, low salaries are among the hardest problems that a country which once was the 7th economic power in the world (1900-1930) must presently face.
In short, Kieron, provided you have no laboral problems and you are justly paid in your job, you and your family won't have any problem in order to acquire the same things that you can acquire at your home. The only problem you will probably have is the sorrow you may feel for the many people who have their basic needs unsatisfied.
We wait for you in our get-togethers where we may share a common reading of the Argentine (and international) situation.
All the best
José

Thanxs for your comment!! You are a gentlemen (in BA)
It´s amazing how your english have improved, though I do believe you´ve been *DEEPLY* influenced by "porteños", am I right?
smooch!
Laura
PS: I´m still practising my "gooooody" as well.

¡Hola mis queridos amigos!
Aquí estoy de vuelta en Canadá...mis vacaciones han terminado y la vida continúa en su ritmo diario pero sigo pensando en las 6 semanas maravillosas que pasé en Bs. As. Muchísimas gracias por su amistad. Cada vez que miro mis fotos me acuerdo de todas las lindas experiencias y los momentos especiales con ustedes...nuestras salidas, charlas, sonrisas y risas. Cuanto me gustaría volver...algún día nos veremos otra vez...de eso estoy segura. Mientras tanto les deseo a todos los "Teatimers" a quienes conocí mucha felicidad y suerte. ¡Cuídense y sigan disfrutando las reuniones 'globales'! Y a todos los nuevos 'Teatimers', ¡bienvenidos a nuestro grupo amistoso!
Con cariño, Birgit
chau chau
P.D. When in Buenos Aires, an evening or two or three or more with the 'Teatimers' is a DEFINITE MUST. Don't miss this fabulous opportunity to meet people from around the world and make new and lasting friendships.
Deux pouces en haut pour ce groupe très sympa! On doit absolument faire la connaissance de ces persones aimables. Une visite a Bs. As. ne serait pas complète sans passer quelques heures dans le café Dali...il faut l'éprouver!
Seien Sie doch nicht scheu! Gehen Sie mal ins Dali Café, wo Sie wunderbare Leute kennenlernen werden. Wenn schon einmal in Bs. As., ein Besuch mit den 'Teatimers' ist einfach nicht zu versäumen...wirklich, es stimmt. Glauben Sie es mir, Sie werden es nicht bereuen!
En realidad, yo pienso que la idea es muy buena.
Yo personalmente, viaje por primera vez en Argentina en junio pasado. Y gracias a teatime,
he podido mezclar con toda clase de gente y llegar
a conocer personas que nunca hubiera conocido sin teatime.
Es un lugar de encuentro muy especial, Laura y Felipe, personas muy abiertas y calidas hacen
que todos nos mezclamos sin prejuicios.
El cafe Dali me parece un lugar muy lindo, el hecho de estar arriba nos permite estar en grupo
a parte de los demas gente del cafe.
Les felicito por la idea y estoy segura que teamtime tiene mucho agnos por adelante.
Un beso a todos
Hola
como andan mis portenos queridos? TeaTime is a great way of meeting other travellers and getting to know some pretty cool Argentinians as well. There are lots of different people and everyone helps each other out with advice etc. If you are planning on passing through Buenos Aires, its a cool place to stop and meet some awesome people.
Doy mil gracias a todos los teatimers por todo el carino y ayuda que me dieron.
Un superbeso,
Sarah.
Hola a todas y todos.
Soy una chica española que proximamente viajará a Argentina, concretamente en agosto. Me gustaría conocer gente para saber más cosas sobre Argentina, y poder tomar un mate tranquilamente.+
Muchas gracias por vuestra atención.
Un beso,
Que gusto que visites nuestro pais. Nuestro grupo, "TeaTime" te da la bienvenida.
Nuestra idea es, precisamente, establecer un intercambio entre diferentes culturas y estrechar lazos amistosos con aquellos que nos visiten.
A partir de este momento queda abierto el contacto y te invito a que nos escribas via e-mail a : tea_talk@yahoo.com
Saludos desde Buenos Aires!
Laura "TeaTime"
tan solo para decirte que la page esta muy bien organizada y que las cosas que has diseñado e instalado han quedado 100 puntos, me imagino que cuando este completamente terminada va a prestar grandes Beneficios para las personas que quieran visitar esta Bella Ciudad y de poder conocer su Maravillosa gente.
