Hello. This isn't an ad, it's more of an advice question. I have my ticket and will be coming to live in Buenos Aires (arriving April 9). Woohoo! Need to find a place to stay before then though. Plan is to rent a room in a shared apartment (probably furnished) for a month or two while I get to...

Well, I know I drink more when I've got no one in my life so, yeah, totally believe that. On the whole topic: Haddaway, anyone?

I gave this game a try the other day! Free to play, so to anyone willing to join you don't have to pay anything. It's more TF2 than Counterstrike in that you can absorb a lot of damage so gameplay is a bit slower. The main draw is the ability to customize your weapon and create different damage...

I LOLed at this, thanks. A weirdo I guess haha. Someone who lived in Mexico where the GNC charged like 100 dollars for a large jar of it .... I have flown from U.S. to Mexico like this without questioning, but I guess they're not really expecting anyone to be bringing drugs upstream like that...

Hi all. This is kind of a follow up to my Moving Questions thread from earlier today and I decided to break it out to get more eyeballs on it. I am going on down to live in Buenos Aires relatively soon, and I would like to know what American financial institution I should stash my money in. I...

Thanks for all the good advice. I will feel better already getting my ticket. Remember, I won't be looking to rent an apartment myself, even when I get a more permanent unfurnished place. I still plan on just renting a room / sharing with flatmates, so hopefully contract won't be a problem...

Hello all. So, despite nervousness over the economic situation, I have decided to head on down to Buenos Aires anyway. I am not wealthy, but I will be working from home for non-Argentine companies and getting paid into my American bank account, so I should be insulated from the economic...

Thanks Ambassador, I plan on bringing mine as well and will have to do this.

I was pretty sure the iPhone 4 couldn't be unlocked if the baseband was 4.10.1 or above. Unfortunately for me, that was the baseband on my phone when I bought it. Do you use a sim interposer (Gevey)?

Am I underinformed? I thought it was pretty difficult for Americans and Canadians to live in Europe, let alone work there. As a general comment on the forum, staying or leaving as an expat is a question that never really goes away, like existential worry or unrealized ambition. Grass is greener...

Cheers lucha, thanks for this tip. I'll look into it further come tax time next year. In my recent research (and in calling the IRS), I have discovered that I am indeed eligable to apply for the United States Residency Certificate. I do have to submit a "penalties of perjury" statement where I...

Hey johnniewalker, sorry but I really like what I do and don’t want to change jobs. I know I’m freelance, which means some weeks I don’t have any work (impromptu vacations), but because it’s not a side-gig for me, I’ve also never turned down an assignment and never missed a deadline—two things...

Sleuth, thank you for the information! I was searching visas and visa types, so I have not seen anything about conversion rates and blue rates (what is that, by the way?). I am an American, but I cannot get paid in my American accounts because I am working for Mexican companies. As an American...

Good day all. My name is Aaron. I am a newcomer here in these forums and so have not built up a great familiarity with previous topics here. I have done some searching both here and out in the general web, but my situation is a bit unique, so I have some specific questions on immigrating to...

Just saying Hi. My name is Aaron. I am an American currently planning to relocate to Buenos Aires for a few years. Hope to be there around March. I know Spanish from living in Mexico for several years. This site seems like a great resource and I look forward to meeting some of you and...
