I just added some more info in my last post. If your family helps you, it shouldn´t be too hard. They should be doing this, or your boyfriend, not you the foreigner!

Also remember that the property cannot be a "bien de familia" (registered family home, you can never be evicted--not all family homes are registered in this way) and can only be used once. Meaning, if your husband´s family has one home and it is "bien de familia" you are out of luck, or if...

of course it is pesos! $ is pesos, USD is dollars in Argentina.

Thanks, considering what I have spent on medicine it is not too expensive to buy a fountain: $200 on first md visit, antibiotic shot, antibiotic pills, urine care cat food $160 second md visit (switched, she charges more but is better) and antibiotic shot $120 meds (valium for pain and relaxing...

Even if you are monotributista I recommend using an accountant. If you don´t have a lot of stuff to file they tend to be quite cheap, and save you some big headaches! the advice above from BajoCero is about as clear as you are going to get without hiring an accountant. When we file, we also...

citygirl is correct, you should put your employees in white which has real consecuences, but if you don´t pay your property taxes nothing will happen other than encruing interest and you will have to pay them before you sell your property. you need to find an accountant you can trust, this is...

When learning a language at a fast pace take into account that you will feel more tired then normal, because your brain will be working overtime. Don´t plan to many activities, as even buying gum can be an adventure! I learned this in Guatemala, I was going to do so much stuff but after 5 hours...

Guns and violence are the result of it being illegal. We have been waging a war on drugs for about 40 years and the only result is death--people who die from overdose, people who are killed in the crossfires, people burried alive in prison. Time to try something else.

Another good place to learn Spanish is Xela in Guatemala, kind of a their main industry. In two months the most you can hope for is to move up one level, maybe two, if you study 3-5 hours per day and avoid English speakers. A city with lots of English speakers (expats and locals who know a bit)...

My uncle spent 20 years (twenty) in a maximum security prison in the US for driving marijuana across state lines. He was a hippy, first arrest. Got out and died 6 months later of cancer. I hope it gets legalized soon!

Cafes are good for dreaming and thinking (for me) but serious writing I do at home. I also am not a fan of taking a computer to a cafe, kind of ruins the vibe and not terribly safe. Not incredibly unsafe, but they probably get stolen more often then a cafe in New York.* I haven´t been there in...

you CAN make empanadas without lard, but this is what makes them yummy and most traditional empanadas are made this way. So technically, there are no such thing as a "vegetarian" empanada (just like there is no vegan helado, it all has egg whites). The alternative would be margarine, which is...

The work visas we write letters for are granted by overseas consulates, I did not want to imply that this is the only route, just that this is the experience I have. My sentence construction was consfusing.

We grant work visas for short term projects all the time (1-2 week shoot), the company has to be registered with the Renure which involved a lot of hoops to jump through, but they never asked us for a contract. However, these work visas are granted by consulates overseas, not migrations in...

Be careful about buying imported cars, you may have problems getting parts.

skype without video if the connection isn´t good always works

If you go to hosptial britanico you can ask for a list of English speaking doctors. But it is self reporting, your Spanish might be better than their English. At HB they also make the nurses dress up like old school British nurses.

Doctors at public hospitals are good, the facilities and wait times sometimes aren´t. (and many doctors in private practice work in public hospitals). Public hospital doctors have to win a contest to get their spot and see tons of different types of illnesses. For a stomach bug, it seems like a...

Nice short film! Best of luck.

Not sure what line of work you are in. It is one thing to send a pdf and another to send a video. I have about a 10-12 hour upload for 2GB video on a site like youtube, 24 hours to upload 2gb on dropbox. I used to pay more for more bandwith but it was a scam (you can use those bandwith...
