You are kidding aren't you? I think this kind of question is known as an oxymoron which means there is only one answer and you already know it! ;-PI was there with my (now ex) girlfriend in 2003 and was always getting into trouble for my straying eyes. How did she see them through my sunglasses...

Firstly, I would never suggest to go back to gringoland unless they were truly unhappy. But I would suggest that its not up to an American or a Brit to waltz into the country and set out trying to change their ways. Argentines are far more civilized than their South American counterparts and...

I think JG might need some advice from you!

JG,"Just this afternoon i had perhaps the closest call ive ever had here and thats saying something." So was this call closer than the killer grannies that were trying to get you?No matter what country in the world you are in, you must take care when crossing the roads! If you want to avoid any...

Thanks for clearing that one up ;-) If its 20C in the winter then I can'twait to get there!

I'm confused here sorry,Bigbadwolf, you ARE joking aren't you? you have to be surely? I live in Scotland and the temperatures you describe are warm for us and is a sign we are coming into summer!!...Hold on, why am I even rising to the bait. You are joking aren't you?

Ok, I apologise for the tone I used above especially if the "gun to the head" scenario was not a metaphor. I didn't realise that your life had been threatened JG and if this is true, then please accept my apologies. It just appeared like a trivial dispute from your original statement.You said...

JG,I find all this talk of suing extremely negative and a very typical attitude that frankly should be left in the U.S!I live in Scotland and in the UK people only sue each other as a complete last resort and under extreme circumstances. But in the US everybody sues, everybody wants to shaft...

Interesting stuff thanks bigbadwolf or bbw... oh no thats something else! I must admit that I didn't realise there had been such a boom in BA with property prices but I would expect things to be a little less volatile in Patagonia away from Bariloche and the more touristy areas. I thought you...

I remember there being almost as many olives as there were grapes in Mendoza! And combined with a huge Italian influence in Capital Federal I'd bet you'll find some of the finest extra virgin in the world!But I'm not there yet either so someone with the knowledge will hopefully confirm.

Hi Guys hows things?I'm moving over to BA from Scotland in October (118 days and counting), and this gringo invasion thing is a bit of a concern if entirely true. I presume times are still pretty tough for the average porteno so there would surely be some resentment if we are seen to be driving...

Hi everyone. Its happening! I'm definately moving out there next summer even if its only on a temporary basis in the short term. I've been reading up on visa requirements and immigration which will be the hard part but from what I've read on buying property, it seems that you don't need to have...

I think a gestor is an immigration lawyer based in BA. Hopefully someone else will clarify if I'm not precise here.

I still dream about this place and how unbelievably peaceful it was so I can only imagine it being the perfect getaway from BA for those of you lucky enough to be living out there, but in need of a short break away from all the smog and smells of the Capital Federal. Back here in Scotland when...

thanks for that admin but my Spanish is still very limited so I can't get through the (Ley 25.871, Articulo 23). Is there an English translation anywhere? it sounds like there are a number of options for me now so thanks to everyone who replied. I am working up until May '06 then I'm jumping on...
