The fiaca is more powerful in Zona Norte when it comes to heading into town.

Just an FYI, as I waited in line from 7-8 a.m. this morning to take a number (as instructed when I went to the office on Garay in Olivos to ask how to renew) with 150 other people, the system has now changed. You can now book an appointment online here...

Really really missing Chipotle. CBC just doesn't cut the mustard.

My wife and I are looking into this as well. My understand is that 1) in cases of abuse, the adoption laws are very good and cannot return to the mother and 2) if you say you are open to ANY kid, it speeds up the process quite a bit even for kids under 2 y/o (hard to come by here). I will...

I know that Prudential is here now, and when Zurich was here during the financial crisis of 2001-2002, they supposedly acted much more ethically than other companies when the devaluation hit....though I have no raw data to go on.

Has anyone tried Xoom to transfer money into Argentina? I'd read on here that it worked for some people--just seeing if it's blocked now or not. I have a bank account here in Argentina. Gracias for any input.

I'm selling our 1999 red "3-door" Palio because we're moving to Europe. Great mileage, and Fiats are very inexpensive to fix if there's a problem. I'd prefer a bank transfer to my account in the U.S. rather than a handful of pesos. I've owned it for the last 4 years and never had an issue...

I propose a third rate: the actual street value. Out of curiosity I went to the local "cueva" and they offered to buy at 5.10...?

I'll be living in Europe toward the end of the year and one of our salaries is in pesos here--I'm looking into several options (not looking into gold, but I know it can be done). I'll post them here when I find out more.

The one in Villa Urquiza has moved to Palermo: http://www.crossfittuluka.com/index.php?m=home&lang=eng The one in Zona Norte in Don Torcuato recently moved to San Isidro: Don Bosco 531 near the Hipodormo

I'm pretty stoked that there's a new location in San Isidro (the last one was in Don Torcuato...not the easiest to get to, and not as nice a neighborhood). Free workout tomorrow at 11 a.m. to check out the new box! I'll be there to get my butt kicked tomorrow--who's coming? Don Bosco 531 in...

Dear all, Knowing that many would like to stay in Buenos Aires, but have a hard time finding work that pays well, I'd like to recommend a website to find legitimate online work. I checked out this job site recently, and actually got a couple short term contracts through it that involved my...

Francisco's service has been impeccable, so I wanted to share for anyone who needs a local accountant: http://www.estudiodelamo.com/ Saludos, Paul

I've never seen it, but then I don't live in the center where some things are more accessible. *shrugs* Do they have a 60%+ cacao? If so, Id' be interested if someone knows...

Jumbo now sells free range chickens at about 30 pesos/kilo. Delicious, and had very little fat/grease.
