    Infant visa overstay?

    Moving In Sept! Any Advice?

    El Niño - you aren't too far off, assuming you're not living in a posh neighborhood. Buenos Aires living expenses are incredibly low compared to North America (esp. rent). Monthly expenses: Groceries = AR$500/week (for vegetarians); so 250/person Dining out = AR$100 (neighborhood place) to...

    Going To Chinatown Tomorrow - What Should I Buy???

    Tofu - there's a place that makes their own - Defu (Arribeños 2233)... the marinated tofu and fried ones are great & it's super cheap. There's also fresh noodles. Also, Asian veggies (anywhere), and legumes (Casa China). Avoid the bubble tea - the tapioca pearls are like mushed peas

    Unfortunately import restrictions apply to maple syrup... making it crucial to have friends/fam. pack bottles in lots of bubble wrap when they visit.

    I’d pick outside Palermo Soho – it’s very nice to visit, but would be hard to do daily shopping. I’m also veggie – I think every neighborhood is about the same for getting veggie food – you’ll have tons of veggie/fruit stores, some dieteticas (health food stores), and hopefully there’ll be a...
