Hi
My daughter is studying visual arts in Australia and is interesting in coming to Buenos Aires as an "exchange" student (university). Unfortunately her university here doesn't have an exchange program with any uni's in Argentina.
She has contacted Instituto Universitario Nacional del Arte...
Using earplugs has transformed my sleeping. Foam ones as mentioned are the best - they are usually fluorescent in colour. Agree with the rolling them between your fingers to get them thinner, then plug 'em in. Sometimes they hurt a bit if you have been lying on one in a funny position in your...
Theoretically you are meant to travel with a notarised form with the non-travelling parents signature to say they can travel with you. I went through the rigarmarole (and notary costs) of getting one years ago to travel to Argentina and noone asked for it. There is info about the form on...
Johhno I don't know if this is of any use to you as you will be staying in Argentina but ANZ (and probably other banks) issue those Visa Travel Cards in USD. My daughter just got one - you buy the card for $11AUD and then are charged $2 when you take cash out of an ATM (suppose too you get hit...

Thanks all for your replies.
So if we bring USD (which we are going to have to, at least to pay for our apartment in BsAs), the best way is to exchange that at the banks for best rate?
Our expedition to Argentina looms closer.
One of our travelling party (hem hem) has both an Australian and British passport. I absorbed today that British citizens don't have to pay the reciprocity fee. Given that I will be paying her fee on her behalf if she enters Argentina on the Oz pp (I...
I was hoping there might be some Australians on the forum who access funds in their Australian banks via ATMs in BsAs / Argentina. (I am mentally writing my complaint to the banking ombudsperson on my return from Argie about exhorbitant fees) but in the meantime I am aggrieved by the fees the...
Runners (or walkers may also be able to help):
We will be in BsAs for a week from the 11 December and plan on eating and drinking a whole lot. We are also fantasising that we will be able to put on our running shoes and negate a bit of the damage...
We will be staying in Palermo near Plaza...
