    Premier League Fans

    The pubish atmos you are looking for does not really exist here! Best time is CL games mixing with the after office crowd around 6 but it is still a bit too early. Try down town matias in recon a couple of blocks from Cordoba or Puerta Roja in Chacabuco. Also the all day bars in Palermo might...

    Which iphone to buy?

    The A1429 version is for the us market and it switches/allows gsm with the sim card when roaming. I think the international A1429 is the same but the gsm is also enabled LTE is probably years away in Argentina but the option for more bands using LTE has me thinking that it is a better option...

    Which iphone to buy?

    With the new LTE bands it looks like there are 3 different models. In the states there is a gsm (A1428 at+t) and a cdma (A1429 sprint & verizon) version available. So for those in the know, which one will work best in Argentina? From what I can see the cdma one (A1429) will allow gsm roaming...

    Using local cards for making reservations etc.

    I just thought I would put it out there. It sounds so simple but no-one can give you an honest answer as things change almost daily. The only way is to try and well the next month see if you get stung or not. I think it´s worth the risk as 15% for booking things here now (in pesos) is...

    15% surcharge on foreign transactions on Argentine credit cards starting Sep 1

    I got an email at work saying the law came into effect today and credit cards will start applying the new tax from 1st October. I took this to mean that my card which closes tomorrow for the month will not be charged as the new period will start on the 6th august and quickly sent 300 dollars...
