Someone buy khairyexpat several drinks. Fabulous information. Thank you for the very long amount of time it probably took to compile this.

I don't have too much trouble with pronunciation in Spanish, but damned if federal doesn't get fall off my tongue like a drunk man getting out of a cab, every time. It ain't pretty.

To the OP: You should be aware that if you have been living out of the U.S. for more than six continuous months, you are available for expat health insurance for up to two months when you return to the U.S., and it's pretty affordable. I think I paid $120 for my two months. If you're unable to...

The Libertad MORE location is open Monday-Friday, 9-5 (possibly 6). Turnaround times are pretty quick; make the transfer and the money is usually ready to pick up 1-2 hours later. Whatever you choose to do... congratulations, have a great time!!

Thanks, Rich One. I may be a size queen, but color definitely ain't no matter.

Hey you wonderful folks, I'm looking for a protective mailing tube, like you would use to ship photos or posters. I bought something beautiful and want to protect it in my suitcase. Where might I find something like this? I will need a large one. (Also, what the hell is the name in Spanish?)...

You can send Montauk_Project a message. She works in film here.

You definitely need to file whether you owe taxes or not. This applies regardless of your residency or how long you've been outside of the US. There are a number of online tax services that can help you do this quick and easy. You'll need any appropriate tax documentation (W-2's, 1099's, etc)...

Tons of vegetarian options here, and even some vegan ones. You'll also find health food stores with a wide selection of nuts and dried fruits, plus Barrio Chino has about everything you could ever want to buy. Meals typically have some kind of meat in Argentina. Pizza, pasta, and milanesas...

Check out the Movistar Forum, maybe you'll find an answer there: http://comunidad.movistar.com.ar/t5/Productos-y-Servicios/Tr%C3%A1mites-y-consultas/td-p/201862 I use Movistar prepaid myself, have never been able to figure out this mystery. I do know that any "credit gifts" you receive expire...

Does anyone know where I could find envelopes like this? It's for an art project, not to actually send mail. Many thanks.

When you book your seat, try for one that is not on the farthest left side-- when you pass other buses at high speeds you may get woken up/terrified by the noise and movement. Also avoid being near the bathroom. I didn't care for Jujuy too much, but Salta is cute (I recommend the MAAM) and all...

I think there are some volleyball groups at the YMCA (Reconquista y Corrientes). You can go and ask for the schedule. I think a competitive group plays Friday evenings at 8.00. The gym membership is reasonable; it's around 280 pesos a month. If you can find a group of people to join, they often...
