    "Mucama" rates

    If you find a good one pay top rate which today should be close to 30 pesos per hr.

    Is this Fishy?

    I fail to see the need to discuss Argentinian values or moral issues. If, and only if, the Landlady sends money for the full purchase price and promises (in writing) to pay for any taxes or other reasonable expenses incurred (upon proof they were incurred), then it should simply be a matter of...

    Officially Done with BA

    I echo the empathy expressed by others for your misfortune. Not only would I report the incident to the police (fingerprints must be all over the place if the thieves didn't wear gloves), but I would report the landlady's comments to the condo association via the sindicato of the building. She...

    Reporting contact with an international fugitive in BA?

    Insufficient. You owe it those people whom you helped Buckley rip off to assist in bringing him to justice. You may not care about "gov't" but how about his victims... Your perverted ideas about the evils of the criminal justice system may fly here, you self-deluded lowlife, but for English...

    Reporting contact with an international fugitive in BA?

    The law doesn't permit people to ignor obvious signs of criminality. Even if it is true you had no actual knowledge of Buckley's crimes, if you should have reasonably known of criminal activity, you may be guilty of being a co-conspirator or an accomplice before or after the fact. I hope...

    Yes, we have no bananas...and other former imports too

    Widespread crime...if tax evasion, money laundering and corruption count, perhaps. Otherwise, Bs As probably has no greater problem than other large cities. Ditto for the nation. Unrest....yes, if I understand that term to include wage and price problems and the malaise that comes from...

    Is Argentina on the verge of another crisis?

    Better you don't accept. Pack up and leave asap and bring your little friend with you...

    Are these things true?

    Yeah, it is so pack up and leave.

    Opening a US bank account as a non resident

    Oops, sorry, I overlooked the fact you were referring to a US account. Though I worked for a large US bank for many years, I cannot confirm that a TIN is required just to open an account. I suspect that if the amount you want to deposit is large enough, a big bank like the ones mentioned will...

    Yes, we have no bananas...and other former imports too

    expatinowncountry, Was the article inaccurate regarding either the absence of bananas or that it reminded the author of shortages 30 years ago that resulted in Argentines flying to the Falklands for items unavailable at home... I'm sorry, but if these statements are true, then, yes, you will...

    Yes, we have no bananas...and other former imports too

    Is that it...nothing else... It seems to me that your entire criticism that the article is indeed bad journalism (at least in part) is based on what appears to be a hypertechnical parsing of words, specifically the non-existence of rebuttals to Argentina's claim made within the framework of the...

    I am shocked. Is this really true...

    Heh, Reminds me of Obama!

    All we need is love. Writing brief messages in these kinds of forums can often lead to confusion, misinterpretation, and misunderstandings. I suspect that if we were all around a table sharing a beer we might be a lot closer in our thinking than what appears from above.

    Yes, we have no bananas...and other former imports too

    I'm curious why you say this. Would you mind expanding on your comment to specify why it was bad. Was it this part- 1. Lots of other commodities are in short supply because of Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner’s imposition of import restrictions to prop up the economy. In Buenos Aires I heard...

    Opening a US bank account as a non resident

    Without a permanent DNI, I believe it is now impossible to open a bank account.

    Heh, Reminds me of Obama!

    Suggesting someone is a Republican (or a Tea Party supporter) is not "calling someone a name" as that expression is commonly understood by English speaking people. Republican candidates may be falling over each other to demonstrate who is the biggest crackpot, but events have not deteriorated to...

    Buying an apartment off plan

    I would also think the track record of the builder is important. My cousin is an architect who, as general contractor, has constructed a few multi-unit apt buildings in Belgrano. If you would like to speak with him, PM me and I'll give you contact details.

    Train accident in Once (linea Sarmiento) 340 wounded

    What a convenient time to have a heart operation...or perhaps there really is some cause and effect here. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-17291764
