Sorry for the ad on the general forum, but trying to quickly get rid of a free dresser before I move, so went for the higher traffic forum! http://baexpats.org/classifieds/item/841-dresser/ Thanks!

Only a handful of items left! Just reduced prices given only one week to go :) Thanks to everyone who has come out thus far! http://buenosaires.es.craigslist.org/gms/4185914058.html

After two years our time, unfortunately, is coming to an end in BA! Even amongst the hurdles encountered, we've thoroughly enjoyed our time here! And we have gotten a ton of great information from this community online too! With that said, we're getting rid of pretty much everything in our...

We're in the process of moving from BA, and looking for a furnished temporary place for our last couple weeks. If anyone has any contacts for brokers or landlords with places in the Palermo area, would be much appreciated!

I was reading that upon arrival to Cuba, they verify health travel insurance. I have OSDE, but need to verify coverage internationally, as well as how to prove it, assuming it does. I also read that one can purchase a Cuban plan upon arrival for a few bucks a day. Has anyone travelled...

Correct. I went to the Claro store on Sante Fe (and Oro I beleive).

I got a new phone line with Claro today, and did not require any contract. The guy said they recently changed their policies to allow folks here temporarily to get monthly plans without long term contracts. May be worth checking out, as evaporating credit adds up. I got a $140/month plan for...

If anyone has any suggestions for making following exchanges at a reliable spot in Palermo (either yourself or a business), would be much appreciated! PM me any details! 1) USD for ARS at blue rate 2) USD for EUR at official rate

I brought a brand new television in with the original packaging it was shipped to my work in the US. I was able to talk the airlines into not charging me extra for it since it was technically near the same dimensions as a large luggage. It was a 32" television. With your 55", is a bit larger so...

Has anyone gotten a Bolivia visa at the embassy here in Buenos Aires? If so, what was the turn-around time for it? And what paperwork did they require? Could not find clear information on their site. Would rather pay with ARS here in BA rather than USD at their airport.

Those photos are pretty amazing! Ok, pretty much sold on the multi-day trip! And good to know that upon arrival, can just figure it out then. With respect to starting/stopping the tour in Uyani or another town; we'll be flying in/out of La Paz, so just need to figure out if a second town of...

Thanks for the information. We are thinking of going sometime in the first half of October. With the information above, and some additional research, seems like multiple days into the flats can consist of more than just the salt portion, and other sights such as the lagoons and flamingos...

Planning on taking a trip through Bolivia, and wanted to visit Uyuni as part of that. Anyone have some information on what the major differences would be between just doing a day trip into the flats, opposed to taking a longer trip farther out over the course of 1, 2 or 3 nights total?

I have a couple underwater disposable cameras that I am trying to get developed. Anyone know of any spots that still develop these? Preferably in/near Palermo. Thanks!
