    Returning after a lengthy overstay?

    I lived in Argentina on the 90 day tourist visa for about a year and a half back in 2014-2015. Now I'm thinking about returning just for actual tourism, but I'm worried about getting turned away at the border. I paid the fee before I left as was legally required, and I've gotten a renewed...

    Coming back after overstaying visa

    A few years ago I was living and working in BsAs on a 90 day visa. I stayed there for about a year and a half, and paid the overstay penalty before leaving. I'm now thinking about returning for just a vacation at some point, but I'm worried about the possibility of getting turned away at the...

    From that article: How is quantity of dollars vs quantity of pesos an indicator for what the true rate of exchange should be?

    Xoom Now Requires "cbu"

    I just got this email from them: So most of us illegals are fucked as far as Xoom goes. Although I have heard that you don't require a DNI to open up a bank account, anyone know if that is true?

    Argentina Announces Expat Amnesty Program

    They might as well just say "whenever we get to it." The program makes sense, it's a pretty smart policy. They're basically capitalizing on wealthy expats. It changes a lot for those of us working in black who can't get visas.

    Grrr! Argentine Supermarkets

    Sounds like a terrible supermarket, to be honest. Which one do you go to? They all have problems like this to some extent or another, but certain ones (DIA for example) are bigger offenders. I tend to stick to the big COTOs or Carrefour.

    Openings: Live Closed Captioning For Native English Speakers

    Can we get an idea of the range of salary? I went to an interview for one of these places, and they were offering $6,000/month for 40 hours a week... and that was AFTER a 4 month "training" period where you got paid no benefits and $1000 less.

    Lately O Is Starting To Scare The Hell Out Of Me

    Obama as a supposedly "socialist" (or even left-wing) president has to be one of the biggest jokes of the decade. Sure, keep blaming immigrants or families on welfare for the gutting of the middle class. Meanwhile the Kochs and Boehners of the country are raping the entire nation for every ounce...

    Urban Transportation Solutions.

    I agree with a lot of the points, especially about nationalizing the bus lines, but your point about removing entire lines such as 68 and 41 isn't taking into account that those lines travel into areas that the subte doesn't reach. 41 for example goes all the way up through Munro, and a lot of...

    Scam City: Beware Taxis

    They probably couldn't pay anyone enough to actually spend all day with BA taxi drivers in genuine situations.

    Subt/train Question

    It's hard to avoid if you're getting on at a big station like Retiro or Tigre, but anywhere else and it's practically voluntary.

    Obama Declares Venezuela A Threat To U.s. National Security

    You don't think they actually care about that, do you? It's pretty much blatantly stated that those are just excuses they're using to start sanctions.

    Resumé Writing Service - Have You Ever Used One?

    My view is, never pay someone to do what you can do yourself. But I suppose that doesn't apply if the money isn't that big of a deal to you, and your time would be better spent in other pursuits.
