    How long does your dental cleanings take here?

    My dentist would go very fast. 5-10 minutes and the whole mouth. Although thorough, I found it unnecessarily rushed and painful. We plan on finding another one. Small co-pay and the prepaga takes care of the rest.

    Trying to find cellular service +54 for SMS bank codes in Argentina and US

    That's a tough one. Perhaps you can use a friend's phone # that lives down here while you are out of the country. Then when you get back you can change it back to your new local #.

    USA cell phone number to use in Argentina

    On 1 sim from a US carrier? Not likely without paying a fortune for outbound calls and making it near impossible for inbound calls from Argentina without an international plan from the Argentine caller. It's impractical and unnecessary. Dual sim phones exist for this reason. Keep in mind most...

    Buy house via Revocable US Trust

    My question is... what is the point? It's my understanding that US probate has no jurisdiction over foreign held property. The laws governing the distribution of your estate to heirs in Argentina are governed by Argentine laws regardless of whatever your US legal will instructs.

    Argentina is better than Australia

    My wife is Argentine. I can't tell you how many cultural differences we have observed living both in the US and Argentina. We both have had unique struggles adapting to each other's country of origin. My wife found meaningful friendships in the US, outside of Latin American circles, very...
