We used MacSoul ( Av. Sta. Fe 1780, C1060ABQ CABA) for hardware work on an iMac in the past and MacLand (Arévalo 2215, C1425 CABA) for a peripherals issue. They were very patient and helpful, and helped me figure out the issue. MacHelp (Julián Álvarez 1210 6-C, C1414 CABA) has a lot of great...

I have tried several brands of pillows, even the expensive ones of Calm, and I can't still sleep well. I have bought also the memory foam one from La Espumeria but they are too high, the Calm memory ones are a tad thinner but still too firm. The Calm soft one lost its plushiness quickly...

These were channelers that obtained the apostille by going in person to the DoS. It was issued on the spot. Since the pandemics, the DoS no longer offer walk-ins, so the only advantage of channelers is that they can received your PDF, print it and mail it to the DOS. In some States, there are...

I am eyeing some properties. There are plain old places that are priced the same or more than new properties with amenities. From an investment point of view, it makes no sense. There is an old nice apartment in a great location that has been on the market for years with a price tag that...

There are a few Outlet de Electrodomesticos on bigger Avenues. I have never bought off of them, but they look promising. https://www.sagliettihogar.com.ar/ https://www.openfactory.com.ar/ https://www.instagram.com/artefactosexclusivossrl/

A few years ago, a recently arrived wealthy expats from Europe asked me about safety. We were sitting in her 7000 USD/month villa in a fancy barrio cerrado in Zona Norte. I told her to keep low key appearance, don't drive fancy cars. She bought a second hand white Mercedes SUV that would have...

He doesn't need a federal apostille, just a State apostille. If the school won't help, ask them to mail the notarized transcript and diploma to someone in the US and have that someone mail the records for the apostille.

Hello, you can ask the US school to provide a notarized transcript and copy of the diploma. They usually have at least one PN on staff. Then it is sent for apostille. Some schools are nice enough to handle also the apostille for a fee and then mail you everything internationally. Taking a...

FANTASTIC to hear. Thank you so much for sharing.

@jantango, was your DNI close to expiration date or can anybody do this regardless of the expiration date? I have a terrible picture on my DNI and I'd like to have it changed. However, I was told I needed to make a denuncia at the police station making up that I had lost my DNI card etc. and it...

Mundo Lingo's meetings should be posted also on Meetup, Instagram and on their website https://mundolingo.org/city/Buenos-Aires https://www.instagram.com/mundolingo/ https://www.meetup.com/es/mundo-lingo-buenos-aires/

Look for Mundo Lingo on FB. There are 3 events per week in Palermo & San Telmo. Others are available on meetup.com in other neighborhoods (there used to be one in Belgrano)

In the past, there used to be small real estate firms that specialized in nice properties, catered toward expats or at least not listing the usual anonymous modern monoambiente or ugly apartments from the '60s. The websites I had bookmarked five years ago are down and ZonaProp/ArgenProp do not...

The federal apostille can be done by mail. The Department of State is the office that issues the apostille for federal records - the US embassy does not issue apostilles. Currently, the wait time for a federal apostille is about 10-11 weeks and there is no way to expedite it. It costs $20. If...

A worker should be fairly compensated in the first place, and not rely on tips to make a living. Otherwise, it is not worth calling it a job. Some jobs pay more, other pay less. Admitting that without my tip the waiters would be starving, should be turned in an argument on business owners...
