For recent arrivals: Just your basic cell, nokia 1208 with color screen. It is a claro phone, and only works with claro SIM cards, but comes WITHOUT SIM card. Bought for $185. Selling for $60 AR or best offer. I prefer to be contacted by email: [email protected]

Thanks, Emily. He is on the way! (My bf and I share a login name). He got a direct bus as you recommended. Luckily it goes through Chile instead of Bolivia, it seems to be to avoid Bolivia's altitude, so there is no concern with the Bolivian visa. And he had no visa trouble buying the...

Hey everybody. I got a plane ticket out of Lima for real cheap; problem is, I have to get there first. I'm planning on taking one of the three day buses out of Retiro. What I'm wondering about is the visa situation I'm going to be in. Do I need to get a Bolivian visa for the bus ride? I'm...

I almost sent you a list of books, until I noticed the political books you were asking for were "libertarian-oriented" instead of "liberal-oriented"! That would have been quite the mistake!

Hello All, I am wondering if anyone is going back to the US in the next month or two who would be willing to bring a bag back to the US for me. I've got quite a collection of books here that I am using to write my thesis. As they will continue to be important for the next six to 12 months...

No FBI clearance necessary. I studied for just one semester, but know someone who extended to a second semester without a problem. When I got my student visa, they also told me that I could come back to extend if necessary. I think you will find that its not at all necessary. Unless you have...

I'm just finishing classes at Belgrano. You should have no problem extending your student visa another six months when you have a letter of enrollment for the second semester. Did you already get your apartment through the university? I was just going to add that their rates are about twice...

Sorry no Ecuador guidebook here. I'm looking for guidebooks for Bolivia or Peru. Lonely Planet only please! In exchange I can offer lonely planet Chile or Costa Rica. PM or email me! [email protected] PS. Who moderates this forum? I tried to post this announcement as a new...

Anyone looking to trade? My Chile or Costa Rica for your Peru or Columbia. Lonely planets only please! [email protected] or PM.

On the less than 1,000 apartment situation. I share an apartment with one other person at $260 USD per month each. It's not shabby, fully furnished with all expenses included (even free phone calls to the US) and we live a block from the cemetery in Recoleta. I voted 500-1,000 but I want to...

Thank you. I have no idea how to fathom people spending more to live here than I have ever spent to live in New York or Massachusetts. Food prices might be rising but I'm still paying half what I typically do renting in the US. What do some of the people here "need" to spent money on???? I...

Is there really compensation? Beyond the returns listed above? Or only after three months work?

Sorry fifs2, but could you explain a little more about what you're talking about? I don't know enough to make sense of your complain.

Hey Folks, sorry not to have made it. Ben's appendicitis kept us in the hospital all night, but we'd be up for joining another (healthier) time.

I think we'll try to make it. It'll be our first Baexpats event. About time, huh? I don't think we'd make it before 9:30 or 10 though. We can count on you all still being there right?

Interesting reports. Just a heads up, in your last report, one of your photos of Bosque Tallado is mislabeled. The one your called a Gaucho is actually an angel. From behind you will see a single wing. The famous Gaucho carving from the forest is much smaller and very detailed.

On that note, lets all read books: http://www.el-libro.org.ar/ http://feriadellibroindependiente.blogspot.com/

Met a man on the train who told me about the hail on Monday. I almost didn't believe him (I am not a big news buff), but here it is: http://argentina.world-countries.net/archives/3435

Yeah, all but one of the ten or so volunteers spoke english. As for the Hare Krishnas... That's a little more complicated for me to explain because I don't know very much. It is spiritual, but it is not a religion, the way it has been described to me is as a "way of life." It's very open, in...
