So much negativity and coldness. No wonder we have posts on here like ¨deport me voluntarily ASAP¨ Look, with as many ¨legitamente¨ lawyers here in Argentina that probably are on this talo falo list , all that list does is say yes, this person is a lawyer, and??There sure seem to be a lot of...

You guys are being unwelcoming and cold to the OP... And Bajo Cero recomends suiing left and right on all post. Give some people a chance. I am sure they would not cordially introduce themselves in order to make friends or network if it were against the law. And you, are following every legal...

A friend of mine is coming to visit for 2 weeks from the States and is wondering whether to just bring a wad of cash, or use his debit card to pay for things. (Dinners, etc) I told him that if he uses cash, in many stores and restaurants in dollars, they would offer him a more lucrative...

Yes, the OP could save up, however we all know that with the cost of living in BA lately, it is hard for any of us to save, even if we are just paying for the basics. If the OP is in a temporary rental apartment, she is probably paying her rent in US dollars (which continue to climb), if she...

I don't think the US Embassy is going to encourage the OP to go get a job en negro to pay for her flight back home. I honestly do think that as someone else mentioned, the US Embassy has this as a ¨worst case scenario¨ benefit to its citizens, most of us I might add, have paid the government...

Gaby Lotito at Idiomas Plus is excellent with teaching kids Spanish, I think she used to teach at a ritzy private school prior. Very energetic and uses fun kid friendly materials. They do private lessons for kids and come to the house also. Most of their site is in Spanish but here's the link...

I would like to suggest Idiomas PLUS, they offer private, one-to-one classes on the days/times that the student prefers, and charge local prices. In my opinion and experience, comparing and contrasting, they offer the lowest prices in the city and a money-back guarantee. They charge approx...

What kind of business are you in? This is quite typical in all types of things, not just networking, but also dating, catching up with people you havent seen in awhile, etc.

I beg to differ but for many things, it is quite unique to here, even using the hotel analogy that was spoken about in an earlier post, here I feel like they have that chip on their shoulder about, well this is a luxury service/item so you better be prepared to pay accordingly for it, si o si...

I agree with whomever said that there is a lot of resentment when a complaint comes from a foreigner. I feel like they feel like we are complaining frivolously or just being spoiled. And NEVER compare out loud the differences between X country in a restaurant, or your waiter will respond...

I dont think dry cleaning in Argentina is very common. My partner was flabbergasted that I was used to taking my nice dress shirts to the cleaners as opposed to washing them in the machine and then hanging them out to dry. Compare and contrast recent dry cleaning experiences in a 2 week time...

Right, and since Argentina is so well-off these days, why not share the wealth? Its not like there is poverty here. There are not that many women thrown on the streets with babies, cartoneros, and forget the young professional trying to survive on 3000 pesos a month in CAP FED. Lets help out our...

It says a lot about the type of company that Aerolineas Argentinas is and their modus operandus, when they post a public PR statement calling Clarin, which regarldess of what anyone says is still one of the most widely-read newspapers in the country, liars. We ex-pats know that many newspapers...

JP Morgan Chase in the United States is currently not exchanging pesos due to "currency irregularities and government circumstances"

Just wanted to bump this thread as the Iphone 4 16g is still up for sale, again it is an AT&T version, the phone itself is not unlocked however it can be used perfectly on any network with a special SIM card you can get off Mercado Libre. It is in excellent, like-new condition (has been used...
