Hey first of all my heart goes out to you. It took me nearly 2 years here to find a decent stable job. I work for IBM/General Motors. It is in fact a call center BUT it is nothing like the call centers here. Its a million times better. There are 2 tiers, the lower level gets paid less but the...

I have an almost 2 year old boy. I would also like somebody to watch him once in a while. I always thought it'd be nice to find somebody in the same boat and we could do a baby trade off, if I watch yours, you watch mine? I don't need a baby sitter very often, but I think it'd be nice to have...

Could anybody recommend me a teacher that could teach private salsa lessons in Capital? I tried a google search and it got me no where. There's only one place I know of and I didn't like it.... Thanks for the help!

And *face palm* by the sounds of the email I thought the agency people actually went and looked at the apartment, they have never ever been there.... Apparently they are making decisions based on feedback from the landlord's dad! WTF. I asked somebody to get down there and actually access it...

Ah, well, we had agreed on this kitchen bar issue that we would seal the sides that had minor peeling, I think it's probably something caused by humidity or whatever. We sealed it like they asked us to and they are now coming back the middle of March and decided they want the whole thing...

Well, this is how the story ends... We left on time, February 25th. We fixed everything that we agreed on , save for a few things, like the oven handle that had to be ordered but we left the money. We did not get the deposit back or the reimbursement on the parking space, but we agreed with them...

Okay, here's the thing. We aren't claiming that things are 100% perfect. But we've done these repairs before. It took about a week and no more than 1,000 pesos. It's pretty darn clean, and we don't have a car. The landlord thinks that the place is so trashed 1,000 pesos won't even clean it and...

Oh, and there is rust on the oven handle, I forgot to add that here, but they know about that. I guess you can only upload 4 pics? Can you see the whole gallery? I don't know, I am just saying, there are a few things to fix, we are going to fix it all, and the apartment isn't a severe disaster...

This is the gallery

I am trying to upload the pictures. I admit the curtains need to be replaced and the walls need to be replaced. But I don't really think there is any other major issues going on here. Here's to hoping the pictures upload correctly... Thank you for so many responses. I do understand why they...

I just think I need to vent for a minute. Is it a requirement that ALL dueños of apartments are bat shit insane? We are moving. The landlord we have is abroad and some of his family stopped by to check out the apartment with a person who is interested in moving in after us. The curtains fell...

Well, just thought I'd update this. I found a 1 year contract, unfurnished $600! Found it on solodueños.com. Problem Solved. Thanks for the thoughtful suggestions!

Ah, okay. Actually, I have been here 3 years and I already have a long term rental about to end... which means I already bought the furniture! I have never seen a short term unfurnished apartment deal here, that is why I decided to ask. I had no idea it was a law. I figured, by logical short...

I don't know if this is possible to find here, but I am looking for an unfurnished temporary (6months to 1 year) apartment. It doesn't have to be real big, ideally I am looking to pay somewhere between 500 to 600 dollars a month. (Cheap-ish!) If you have some advice or know where I can look...

Sorry, if this came up before, after searching I wasn't able to find what I was looking for. I just wanted to know what was the best/easiest way to do US taxes from here. All of my income comes from a company here in Argentina. Should I contact the consulate or is there a way to find the tax...
