The cost of living relative to wages is getting really bad. I'm surprised so many are staying given this.

It's very hard to see how they can not devalue the peso with Brazil pushing the real down. The trade situation is going to get bad fast, it already has in auto manufacturing here. For many, many reasons it makes the best sense for Argentina economically to devalue the peso considerably, but...

Our business account is with them too....no lines!

It's no Lima, so I'd probably just go to one of the top chivito spots (probably Marco's) and to the market for a typical parilla-choose which looks best to you because they're all pretty much the same though I think they have much better chimi and salsa criolla. We chased down good restaurants...

Anyone have a mud oven? Any tips and recipes for cooking in one appreciated.

I think you're being really harsh here Steve. Im bored so i looked at his posts. This poster has great taste in vacation destinations. He probably has way better jobs to offer than what we typically see here!

In BA, like NYC, you get what you pay for. Cheap means even smaller than in NY and with as many bugs as you'll find in cheap NY apartments. Buyer beware.

Sorry, didn't realize HSBC charged fees on some accounts. If you're a Premier member it's free, There's a minimum deposit and I'm not sure what it is.

Open an account with HSBC or Citibank. Then use their ATM card at branches here with no fee. Charles Schwab also has no fee ATM cards, but I think it has limited withdrawals.

Never! There's nothing even close to as entertaining as CFK and the AFIP! I'd have so much time on my hands back home if there were no lines to wait in. Really Steve, I'm not sure what you could be thinking.

Really Solerboy? After renting extensively here it's my opinion that most landlords renting in the non local market are dishonest tax evaders.

We might expect a little Southern drawl from an Emory grad, but I have to agree, my first impression was that this was not written by an American. And who goes to law school in a foreign country? Most US law grads cant find jobs there now. I spend some time on a higher education site where all...

We're just renting, so it's not our garden. It's beautiful and I wouldn't want to compromise that. We had a look at restaurants out here today. Not bad. But what next? What is there to do in Tigre?

So we've moved to San Isidro for the summer to accommodate our holiday visiting crowd. It really is lovely, tree lined street and kids splashing in pools. We just can't quite figure out what people do out here. Any thoughts much appreciated.

We're really enjoying learning how to cook with a parilla and mud oven. Like everyone else we're tired of bad restaurants and unhealthy options. We do have a small handful of places we still go. We're big fans of Quinta Fresca delivery for vegetables and fruits of far better quality than we've...

Can someone tell me the transportation options from the Horqueta area of San Isidro into the city?

It's all in the timing. Prices now mean very few expats can live well here. And living badly here would get old fast.

Have you looked at the Oasis Club in Palermo Soho? http://oasiscollections.com/buenosaires/clubhouse

Does anyone have any favorites in San Isidro? Horqueta is of particular interest.

Very good point Henry, this has been big in Asia forever.
