    I wonder who would bomb the EU offices? Maybe too many people suspects. Not much news about it. http://www.buenosairesherald.com/article/99640/explosion-occurs-outside-eu-branch-in-buenos-aires

    What should we bring?

    something that sounds silly and if you have the room, bring some reynolds wrap and glad wrap, you will understand once you get here. And any cotton item like underwear. towels, or socks. I have yet to understand why cotton is so bad in Argentina. Like the wrap you will understand when you...

    Good company to ship extra luggage by sea?

    As far as I know this service does not exist here. You should just take it with you and pay the 200 dollars per extra suitcase the airlines charge.

    Visa Requirements

    You should try and do all the paperwork in the UK first, it will be much easier. You should at least gather the paperwork and take it to the Argentina consulate in the UK. Most of the laws of immigration are centered around applying from the country of origin. I applied before I got here and...

    Count your computer fans!

    Sometimes computers have two places for fans and only use one slot. The second slot is considered an expansion slot. The parts are produced for many different types of computers and then assembled for a certain spec. You should check the specs to see if they included two fans. If you open any...

    Customer Service in Buenos Aires

    I do think that customer service is getting better in some places. One I noticed recently is at the Swiss Medical clinics and offices. They are nicer and they have a sign to "Tell them if your experience was less than perfect" and forms to submit about customer experience. While I have been...

    Phisically carrying USD

    I can say that I put 10000 dollars in a long sock tied it in a knot, and put it into my underwear. (after security in the US) Wearing briefs, it will not fall out. Plus you look happy. LOL

    DILL PICKLES baked beans,hummus,BBQ sauce peanut butter, chopped liver

    Argentinian rice, sold in the supermarkets is the worst. broken grains of rice that normally would be used to fed to animals, yuck!!!, it is really hard to cook. You should go to Barrio Chino to buy rice. The cheapest rice they sell is around 5 or 6 pesos per kilo and is great rice. If you...

    Vent/Rant

    I just got my new debit card last month from my bank in NYC, via FEDEX. No problem. I can't imagine anyone holding up a debit or credit card from outside of Argentina. Something else must be going on.

    Spices, Cooking Materials and Customs

    In all my experiences, including bringing a set of cookware in suitcases, I would say you will have no problems. I have also brought spices and various food items not available here. I would stay away from fresh fruit or veggies though, they seem to take that more serious. My friend from Peru...

    CFK to start limping soon?

    Is the trade between Argentina and EU that big? I really don't know. I know that the trade between Asia and other South American countries are huge. While I am sure it is still not good for Argentina.

    No more Valium

    Well the original question where is the valium? I have a new script and where can I fill it? Yes we are all drug addicts, most of us are from the EEUU or EU, what do you expect? Some stereotypes are true, but we are not boring, just predicable. "don't give me no pork chop, just give me my gin"...

    Bad school

    This website is a great source for schools and other consumer related stuff. People should search through the threads to keep from making these mistakes. I am sorry that the school did not work out for you.

    YPF Nationalized

    Exxon, Shell, BP etc. would invest in Argentina in seconds. There is TOO much money to ignore a little problem with the current government. Small companies might think twice, but big companies will continue to invest and make money from and off Argentina. Do you think Monsanto, Exxon...

    YPF Nationalized

    It would make sense, they see an opening and they will quickly jump in to "help". With oil, there are no rules except that it must keep flowing. Besides these oil companies have plenty of capital to "help". Which is sort of the point. This could be why the US had a pretty tepid response to...
