    Weekend in Colonia???

    I think Colonia is dull as dirt. Food is expensive, nothing much to see and you are trapped until the next ferry. A full weekend is a real mistake.

    Need Advice: Finding Female Impersonators for a Charity Event

    Why not just go to "Km. 0" bar, corner of Sante Fe at Pueyurredon, after midnight. They have a drag show almost every night, so I am sure you could talk to some there. Might be safer as well.

    import taxes

    Yes, you are lucky that no storage fees are charged, however you still could have to pay them. If I remember correctly the storage fees were similar to a nightly hotel room, which makes me wonder where they were storing it.

    I just finished my immigration process and now I'm a permanent resident. Not a easy process and years in the making, however I had a great lawyer who helped me through all the problems, delays, lost paperwork, and general BS. His charges are very REASONABLE. I really expected to pay much...

    Preexisting Conditions and OSDE or any other Insurance Carrier

    I learned the hard way, I told the truth at first that I have diabetes. That was a mistake. They turned me down. Lie! They really don't check or once you have been accepted they will not drop you. I am going on four years with the same medical insurance.

    Posting electronics etc to Argentina

    I sent a set of video light via UPS, five years ago. They wanted 2000 dollars to get it out of customs. Since I paid only 300 dollars for the lights, I ended up abandoning them. They also charge storage fees from day one. I would like to find out where they sell off abandoned items so I could...
