Here is my minimum budget of getting by ok in BsAs (to note, I spend more than this): food per month, groceries: $900 pharmacy/hygene costs: $300 cleaning products: $100 clothing (this works out to one piece of clothing per month, like a pair of cheaper shoes, or a pair of jeans): $600 cel...

I think people cheat everywhere in the world, both men and women. In Argentina, the difference is that you have telos that make it easier and no one sees it as a moral failing. In other words, you may break up with someone because they cheated on you and get mad at them, but outsiders won´t see...

Try to offer a cash discount. . . it may even be lower then the credit card, if this place won´t do it, try another. These discounts aren´t listed, they are technically illegal (no one knows this) but you must ask.

Wow! that is a lot of money. My mom in the states recently took a pill that is 40,000USD per month (it was covered by insurance)--which seems immoral to me.

The whole country stops whenever there is a game that Argentina plays and any TV/smartphone/radio will be turned on. People also tend to watch any match. So, any bar or TV station will be a watch party.

Dog walking here is a big business! Don´t do it for free.

Would you able to be placed in a British hospital with a weak comand of English? Even if it is a hospital that treats expats 90% of the patients will be Spanish speakers, and all the doctors/nurses/techs will speak to each other in Spanish.

I don´t miss a lot of what has been mentioned (government, puritans, big phama) and will add: I don´t miss being made fun of for being smart/well-read. I don´t miss being considered less attractive by men because I am smarter then they are/make more money then they do. I don´t miss people making...

Without names of medicine it is very hard to know what they will cost. The most expensive medicine we bought lately (for the cat, but at a people pharmacy) was a very strong urinary medicine and it was 120 pesos, my cleaning girl bought strong tablets of antibiotic for two weeks (with...

Just bought furniture from the lumberjack place (they are all over) and the draws are similar. They work fine, better quality and cheaper than ikea like stuff (but not as good) that you can get at Easy. you can put rubber stops on the screws so they don´t mess your clothes, haven´t missed the rails.

my problem is that I invent words all the time to say "lets complete the steak with a salad" I say "complementamos el bife con una ensalada" which is not a word, I should say "el bife podemos acompañar con una ensalada" mistake "reportaje" for "reporte" reportaje=interview reporte=report (can...

this has gone the way of the shoe shine boy BUT today I passed by a place on Carlos Calvo between 1100-1300, right hand of street if back is facing 9 de julio.

If your husband is Argentine, let him do the talking. That is what I do. When people come over to talk business, they spend an hour talking about politics or trying to find people in common. During that hour I do something else, then come back when they are ready to talk turkey.

Argentine Cinema with English Subtitles: Goals for Girls: A story of Women with Balls (Mujeres con Pelotas) premiered this month in movie theaters around Argentina. This Saturday and Sunday it will be shown with English subtitles. LOCATION: El Cultural San Martin, Sarmiento 1551 (between...

If you have insurance this will most likely be covered, but quality varies widely--I was sent to one and it was AWFUL, one person attending to 5 people at the same time! Another option to look into (to compliment, not replace) would be thai massage. It is done fully clothed and is kind of like...

I also want to add that right now we can afford to do this--a few years ago we were counting every penny and a bit of overpay wouldn´t have been an option. My husband´s sister pays her niñera much less, but she is in a badly paid job (needs someone to pick up daughter from school because she...

I have Hospital Britanico, which is much cheaper. I went to the guardia and I was only one of two people waiting, and was seen within 5 minutes. I also had to be picked up in an ambulance once and they came quickly. My husband only uses public hospitals and he never had to wait as long as you...

You could always break up with your boyfriend.

It is my argentine husband, not me, who sets the salary. We also keep in mind that it takes her about 90 minutes to get here, the hours are few, etc. She told us we were the only people who gave her a xmas bonus, which was a sad thing to hear. I also think a lot of people here complain about the...
