Thank you so much for the quick response! Just made the transfer to my mum's account, does it normally arrive within 3 working days? In case it makes a difference, I'm transferring from a bank account in Switzerland to a bank account in Banco Ciudad.

Hi All, I'm an Argentine living abroad and need to send some cash to my family due to the current situation. I've never had to do this before and I can use some advice on how to best get this done. What is the usual amount or percentage banks charge if I choose the option to transfer to a bank...

Hi all, I was wondering if any of you are planning to buy air tickets in the next few days with United Airlines. If you are going to buy them before the end of October, please send me a PM. I have a discounted voucher worth USD 500 that I have not been able to use and will expire soon. Thank you!

As an argentine, I would only add "turcos" to anything related to the Arab world, "polacos" to any eastern-european country, "chinos" to all south-east asia (what does dealextreme mean?) and "yugoslavos" to all slavic countries (except from "polacos", of course). Someone also commented on the...

Thank you all for the tips! I'll let you know how things went after the interview is over :)

Thank you!! Urban station opens at 9am...that´s too late because my interview should start at 9 sharp. I just called areatres and booked a meeting room, but I realise it´s too far from downtown and I would arrive too late at my current job.... Do you know any other similar places closer to...

Hi all, I'm supposed to have a job interview over skype in a few days and the internet connection at home is too slow for video-call. Thus, I'm trying to find out super quiet places with very fast and reliable internet connections. Any tips? Has anyone tried with shared work places such as...

really? a relatively junior manager makes 16 plus bonus at one of the big four....and these are the worst paying companies in argentina. according to a recent survey, a "jefe" earns 17-25 ARS and a manager is currently making betweeen 18 and 35, depending on the industry....

I can´t believe they are taking away the old cars! I LOVE taking line A. Everytime a foreign friend is visiting we take this line - they are always fascinated and I get to feel proud of my city. I´m sure risks could be mitigated if our beloved politicians wanted to. I took the old street trams...

Hej, I lived in Sweden for one year (Lunds Universitet international grad student) and I loved my times there sooooooo much. Suedes were unbelievably kind, helpful, honest and warm, so if any of you needs any advice about Buenos Aires or just wanna go for fika, let me know!!!! Oh, about the...

Hi all, I just realised I have some vouchers from United Airlines that need to be used to buy a ticket before October 31st (My flight from Lima to Washington DC was oversold last year and I had to stay in Peru for an extra day, so they gave me these vouchers). The issue is that I don´t foresee...

Hi! I'm a 28 and from Argentina. I lived abroad for 5 years and I still feel like an expat sometimes...my friends here only go shopping or clubbing, so I'd love to continue meeting nice international women and doing fun stuff outdoors. When is the next meeting?

Even worst: "this is Harvard, not La Matanza University". Why is my president implying La Matanza is a shitty university where students are allowed (or expected?) to ask "stupid" questions? I guess many people here won´t understand this point...but it was really rude and she should...

I was searching for french-speaking people because I´m interested in doing a language exchange and I came across this post. I´m an argentine girl myself, and I´d like to clarify a few things HeyBsAs wrote: Regarding the gold-digger comment on argentine ladies: - Yes, there are a lot of ladies...
