I plan on stopping by! Have to work Friday but I should be free by then. STElmoFranco I'll send you a quick PM with my number in case something comes up : ) EufemiaEudoxia - Just shoot a message to meet up when you get down here, bienvenido y suerte!

Same here! Originally from WI, 24, just moved here last week! Let's all meet up sometime : )

Has anyone purchased a converter in BA? I need something to go from 115V/60Hz 67W to the power here (I also have something else to convert from input 120VAC 60Hz 31W output 12VAC 2000mA). What should I expect to pay? Where should I go - do prices vary across Ferreterias? Any guidance...

Thanks Alex, glad to hear any increases will be written into the contract. I'm not sure I can switch agencies, but I will definitely be keeping them to my budget and letting my manager know what is going on. Sorry to repeat, but does anybody know what the below means? Does "con reserva" mean...

mini - thanks for the advice, I probably haven't been assertive enough, I'll try to push harder to make them look for cheap places (they can't expect me to pay more in rent than I earn in wages... that part just kinda cracks me up). Exactly... from the online listings furnished definitely does...

Haha... thanks! It has been about an 11 month process so far. Anything besides working from my parents' house to allow for leaving at a week's notice is exciting!!

I just joined the site and will be relocating to BA in August! Getting all my paperwork in order has been a nightmare but I'm looking forward to the move and am really glad there are great expat resources like this! I have plenty of questions regarding my move (just posted one in the general...

Hola a todos, I have a ton of questions but I've tried to keep this concise... thanks so much for any input!! I'm relocating to BA in August and need to find an apartment. My employer has arranged for a real estate agency to assist but so far they haven't been of any help... delays in...
