    Does anyone here volunteer?

    I've tried some volunteering and haven't had a ton of success finding good volunteer opportunities. It seems like the food bank has some options, but they're way out in the zona norte. I spent a weekend volunteering with Techo building a little kit house for a guy who had been living in a...

    Whats the cost to move into an apartment these days? Rent 650,000

    In my experience they generally require the first months' rent, a deposit equal to a month's rent, a garantía, plus a 20% fee to the agent.

    Papel Manteca / Parchment Paper

    My question was equally a question about what brands' papel manteca actually work sas it was about where to get them, so just searching for papel manteca on ML or showing up to a gastronomic store without knowing anything about the brands wouldn't solve my issue.

    Papel Manteca / Parchment Paper

    I checked Doña Clara's website, but I don't know if I'm ready to commit to 40mil worth of papel manteca, just in case it's not good. I'll check the other one, though, thanks!

    Immigration now open to handle citizenship applications as of Monday the 6th

    It depends on what's happening in your immigration process. I think for most of the year nothing's going on for most people's immigration process.

    How Does Punta Del Este Compare with St Tropez, Monaco, Marbella, etc these days?

    Is it a nice beach city? Yes. Does it satisfy "a luxury European exclusive vibe, glamour, classy restaurants, nightlife, music, beach yoga"? In my opinion, no.

    Requirements for opening Dollar account?

    My dollar account was opened automatically when I opened a peso account. If you have a DNI and a peso bank account, this should be as simple as going into your bank branch and asking for one, if you don't already have one in place.

    Correo Argentino doesn't deliver mail to the USA

    They also weren't delivering to the US for a while because of the tariff situation, the USPS and Correo Arg. systems weren't interacting correctly. I wonder if the postal worker was just misinformed.

    Let's go for a walk through Villa 31

    If anyone does want to visit Villa 31/Barrio Mugica without worrying about security, I can recommend the recorrido gastronómico organized by Ajayu Turismo Comunitario. It's organized by neighbors from the community, and in part of the tour the group has a police escort...

    How did you rent before getting a DNI?

    You can also look for temporary rentals on Zonaprop. That's how I found my place before I got my DNI, and was able to agree on a longer-term arrangement.
