Permanent Residents with DNI have to return to Argentina once a year to keep residence valid. What happens if the virus and travel restrictions keep someone out of Argentina longer than that?

Actually New York did not become the financial center until around the 1830s. Philadelphia had been the center of banking and finance and the largest city of the British North American colonies in the 1700s.

Anyone have any Mendoza (preferably near Hyatt Hotel) restaurant recommendations? Thanks

Anyone know about what it costs to be seen in the guardia of a clinic like IADT, Mater Del, Clínica del Sol etc? Without insurance. Thanks

Thanks. I didn't see prices. I get the feeling that they're priced for the international market.

Thanks. I looked at all of their websites (Bressia's is useless - no information). Carmello Patti's is the most interesting. Except for Achaval, these are not well known (to me anyway) wineries. Is that why you chose them? None seem to have restaurants. Lagarde is one that does offer lunch at...
