Actually, I'm not planning on returning (at least not anytime soon). My concern was not being able to cross easily for not having paid the fine in advance, but secondly if I can avoid paying the $300 that would be extremely helpful (tight budget). To that end, based on your experience, you...

Thanks EdRoodney, I do appreciate the help. Sorry to bother you more, but hoping for some clarification. So even if I follow standard protocol, I can pay the $300 there at the time of my crossing without issue? And you are talking about avoiding the line for the exit stamp, right? I can...

Hey all....I will be crossing borders into Bolivia at La Quiaca/Villazon. My tourist visa is expired by almost 7 months. I think someone suggested that I go to Inmigraciones here in BA and square up there ahead of time. Does anyone know if I can simply expect to pay the $300 at the border...

I'm surprised and mildly amused to find that the online Spanish word reference I use actually has a listing for "Cacerolazo", attributes the term to the Southern Cone and specifically defines it as "banging on pots and pans as political protest.

I just went there also. It's free, you just need your passport. Does your friend know where one can get free or cheap HepA and Typhoid vaccinations? I went to Stambulian for these but they charge almost 500 pesos for the pair.

Hey, thanks for this. Did you happen to see the how the prices were for maki and sushi ala carte on the regular menu or is it all tenedor libre only?

Does anyone know, can you get other vaccinations like HepA, Typhoid, etc. at the public clinics as well? Also, is a prescription required for Malaria pills?? Thanks.

Does anyone know, can you also get HepA and Typhoid vaccinations at these places and is it just a matter of paying or do you need a prescription from a physician?

OK, probably a stupid question, but I think I've heard that maybe they don't hit you with this when crossing the border out of Argentina by land? Does anyone have any experience with this? Also, does anyone know if the Bolivian entry fee for U.S. citizens can be avoided if traveling by land as...

I am not an experienced traveler and I only have a limited amount of time to "plan" my travels before returning to my country of origen. Ideally I will travel fro BA to Cordoba and Salta before making my way through Bolivia to spend time in Peru and ultimately Columbia. Has anyone made this...

Why is that statement more idiotic if coming from an American, compared to a Dane perhaps? If anything, I would think the reverse. And if it's possibly one of the more idiotic statements you've read in a long time, you either must not read so much, or you have a tendency to exaggerate needlessly.

ElQueso, admittedly I have not taken the time to read the article you posted, and I don't pretend to be omniscient and smarter than everyone else like that blow-hard Redrum, but it seems illogical to me that the idea of man-made climate change was conceived and is perpetuated by people who are...

Jim, I am curious because I too will be needed to send a package, well over 2KGs, to the US. Given the poor reputation of every other service Argentinean, are not these other options better than through the Correo? Is the Correo actually reliable? And why do you say that about FedEx? I've not...

Hey Matt....I just re-read your last post. I didn't realize you said there already were enough takers. But please keep me in the loop as I assume some people won't be able to make it for whatever reason whenever the game happens to go down. Thanks.

Looks like there are a lot of takers, but definitely count me in if there's room. I'm ready to play. I can make it any night except April 12th.

For those of you wanting to debate the merits of expat men and women, please start a new thread. For those of you who would like to continue talking about how Bill's head and face resemble a testicle, please continue.

Yes, I can tell you that suddenly Buckley had had enough of Buenos Aires and was ready for a "a change of pace", his words, haha. What a clown. So as of this past Friday he skipped town, but of course not before he managed to lie to, swindle and steal from at least a couple more people, in...

Actually it's just over-the-counter allergy medication, nothing exciting. But does anyone know how best to label the package to ensure it makes it to me through customs without hassle? Do I label it appropriately as non-prescription allergy medication or would that create attention...

JWB, Beyond additional relevant experience, I have many years of phone sales experience in the U.S. and a strong command of the English language. Please email me at [email protected]. Gratefully, Aaron

gromit, I've been here for a month (from Chicago) and still looking to meet cool people as well. I live in San Telmo, so Gibraltar is an easy spot for me to get to. If you happen to make it there or anywhere else in the neighborhood again anytime soon, please let me know. Aaron
