    Residential Housing noise ordinance?

    I had a similar situation with demolition next door for 4 weeks plus. They kept saying just one more day lol. But as it was mentioned the noise could be masked with air plugs and music, but the vibration was so much worse than the noise. Even my Argentine neighbors lost it. I ended up leaving...

    Is the Overstay Fine Payable at Aeroparque Jorge Newberry?

    I went there in Dec and paid with a credit card several days before my flight. It is at the far north of the building and the directions above are correct. I paid about 20USD and it took no more than 3minutes as there was no wait and I did not pay cash which will require an additional transaction.

    Can anyone recommend a secure long term self storage place near Belgrano ?

    I contacted mas metros and they have something good however they require a monthly transfer (I don't have a bank account) or a monthly cash payment (I will not be in the country and they will not accept advance payments).

    Any problem bringing a large set of tattoo inks in my bags at EZE?

    Thanks Jason that is helpful. I normally enter the country at Aeroparque from Asuncion. I am often the only gringo on the small flight which arrives very early when customs is empty. They are delighted to single me out and do a full inspection of all my belongings lol. I have not entered at EZE...

    Any problem bringing a large set of tattoo inks in my bags at EZE?

    They are for a very close friend, not personal use, so not sure what I should tell the customs people. Also, although it is not an issue in itself, I travel with quite a few electronics so they usually open my bags after they run them through the scanner. I am an American visiting with a...

    President Milei flew to Davos on a commercial airline

    I live half the year in Argentina and half in Florida. The departure city makes a huge difference in fares. In other words MIA>BUE>MIA is generally better for me than BUE>MIA>BUE, but of course they are identical routes. I think this explains how the airlines can often fill the flight even...

    Foreign credit cards purchases at MEP rate

    carride my bad. I had entered USD > ARS instead of ARS > USD gorsso I did another transaction today and received 833. They adjust the MEP rate immediately when it goes against you, but they wait a few days or longer when it works in your favor.. So cash is still your friend.

    Foreign credit cards purchases at MEP rate

    I got 833 on a small visa credit card transaction sunday 10/22. Very poor considering the blue rate closed at 1150/1200 on Friday. I will continue to exchange cash.
