I have watched Cordoba's bus fare increase from $1.50 to $2.50 in the past year, and the only noticeable effect I have seen is a marked increase in the amount of MOTOS on the streets. Especially couples commuting via moto in the mornings. It makes more sense budget-wise to buy the moto with...

Steve and Bajo Cero make excellent points. If he is not licensed to practice here, Street Lawyer is not only breaking Argentine law, but possibly the statutes of the State Bar Association that admitted him to practice. If he is licensed to practice, that is... Just because you have a law...

Criticize if you may, but in my opinion the bus fare in BA is out of line with the rest of the country. The interior has been subsidizing you all to the determent of local transport systems. In Cordoba, one local bus ride is $2.50, and $5 for a longer local bus ride or for the nicer bus. This...

In Cordoba, Parque Nacional de Quebrada del Condorito and the climbing area at Las Gigantes are good aventure spots as well. You can camp at the Parque Condorito and then continue over the mountain to the tiny only-dirt-roads town of Nona. Buses run frequently. Towards the north of the...

I make popcorn on the stove with just a teeny tiny amount of oil, in a small (6 in) pan, covered with a lid. The lid needn't fit perfectly, I use a lid that 'belongs' to another pot. It only takes 2 min.

Hmmm...not sure exactly, but I think it's pretty low. A first year, full-time CONICET investigator (the equivalent of which would be the national science foundation in the States) makes a little over $5000 pesos. Many of the investigators that I know also teach part-time at the the...

Today I went to purchase dollars at a Casa del Cambio in the city of Cordoba, but was rejected because my tourist visa had expired - in October 2010. They told me that I could only buy dollars with a valid tourist visa or a DNI. Has anyone else run into this problem? Is this a nationwide...

Hi Borntarun, When I moved here I had been taking Adderall for five years. I was happy with the effects and felt it let me 'keep up' with the pace of my demanding job in the States. It wasn't available here, and after talking with a doctor and researching mail options, I decided to try to...

Another thing to consider is getting your baby's birth certificate or what have you from your country of origin. Cordoba does not have a consulate from the United States. No idea what nations do have consulates here. I assume that you would have to travel to BA to do this paperwork.

The best public hospital in Cordoba is Hospital Nacional Clinicas, in Barrio Alberdi. I have been there for a ruptured ear drum, and although adequate for minor situations, I don't know if I would want to have a child there. Definitely no air conditioner. Do you an obra social? I can ask...

In the states of Tennessee and Georgia at least, a will does not need to be notarized to be valid. A will must be signed by three uninterested witnesses at the 'time of execution' (the time you sign the will) to be valid. These witnesses need not be notaries, but should provide address...

Don't know to much about software development, but best of luck to you. I'm sure the barriers to entry are similar to those in BA. I know of two expat owned businesses in Cordoba, TripleSmart website design and a scottish restaurant, The Breacan. There is another, recent Cordoba post on here...

I live in Cordoba...a good place to do business is a tad broad. I teach english, and based my reading of this site, there are more and better paying native english teacher positions in Cordoba than in BA, due to the relative lack of native speakers. What type of business are you considering...

That's awesome David...I live right next to Alta Cordoba and I'm a big fan. Spork! I know you must be tired of my recommendations by now, but the Parque Nacional de Quebrada de Condorito is really nice. You can take the the bus there and back in one day. Look for buses going to Mina Clavero...

Similar to in the US, in Argentina, most bike shops sell both new and used bikes. Just ask the bike shop owner/employee if they have "bicis usadas." Most bike shops should have at least a few, or at least know of a customer that wants to sell his. This is how I purchased my bike. You can...

Recently read an article in The Argentine Independent that might be of interest. http://www.argentinaindependent.com/reviews/theconsumer/beauty-without-barriers-/

Hmmmm....water delivery is not common in BA? Sadly, I can't help you, MizzMarr. I live in Cordoba, where my street is serviced by at least five different water delivery companies each week. I assumed this happened everywhere in Argentina. Surely there's got to be water delivery in BA, though.

I used to buy disposable siphones at the grocery store until I discovered the water delivery man. Now my water delivery man brings reusable siphones which are MUCH cheaper (1.10 pesos each) and stay MUCH fizzier than the supermarket stuff. And better for the environment.

Wade, $1000 dollars per month would be tight in San Juan, as it would be most other provinces. I speak from the experience of living in Cordoba capital, and traveling to San Juan capital on several occasions to visit family. You really need a car in San Juan. Unlike Mendoza or Cordoba, or...
