When I moved here I looked all over. At San Juan and Jujuy there is a restaurant supply district and none of the stores had one. I brought my own from the states. They only use small amounts of watts, so the transformer I bought to go from 110 volts to 230 volts is 300 watt capacity and was...

Hey everybody. I am a semi-pro musician from California, and I am looking for other musicians like me. I play guitar and sing. I can also play keys and bass, but I don't want to get into the logistics of moving keyboards or bass amplifiers. Right now I have an urge to play...

OK I went in with the assistant (for translation and general advise) and everything worked out. They wanted the certified letter from my pension company (the same one I used before) saying I make US1070 per month. They also needed the local police report and certificate of domicile. Also...

I saw them in MercadoLibre (online). They sold the pitcher, and the filters. It was a Brita clone. The ad said you could use the filters with Brita. I bring mine in from the states. Target has Brita clones for a reasonable price. Good luck.

Once again, thanks for the help. Yes I have a DNI. That was another long story. The citizenship idea is interesting. Is there anyone out there that is from the USA and is now dual USA/Argentine? I looked at the US State department website and it says if you seek citizenship in a foriegn...

Thanks for the comments. This will be my fourth and hopefully final visa application, so I can go permanent. I have used the same pension income for each renewal. I have other incomes but they are not pensions, and I never mentioned them in the past. I don't think I can become an Argentine...

Hello Does anyone know the income requirement for Pension Visas? It has been AR$2.000 (if I remember right) per month for the last 3 years. I need to renew my visa by December 14, and now I hear rumblings of higher amounts. I know they raised the Rentista visa, but did not see the Pensionista...

I brought one from the States, and I got a transformer for it on Parana in Congreso. A 300 watt transformer is plenty, and was cheap. The maximum draw on my cooker is 260 watts. I have made many tapa de asados (briskets) on it. But now, much of the time, I use a regular pot with lid. I use one...

We have formed a very strong band, with players that have lots of professional experience. The rythmn section is in place, and we already have two singers. We are looking for a third vocalist, so we will have a really strong R&B review. Male or female. Our set list includes songs by Etta...

You might want to try the Gibraltar Pub, in San Telmo at Peru 895. They have a pretty nice Thai menu. The owner is quite proud of his culinary skill. At night is is crowded with tourists from hostels, but by day is it tranquil.

I have been going to this great Peruvian restaurant in Abasto and decided to mention it in a post. Chabuca Granda is at Anchorena 571 next to Abasto shopping. When I visited Peru two years ago I was very impressed with the food. I have found that this restaurant is the real deal if you want a...

Can you tell more about Nitro in Argentina? Sounds interesting. I know it is a data compressor. Does it work well in this country, what is the best way to license it, and will you be able to have a proxy server address in the US? thanks
