    Importing Stuff From Amazon\ebay Under Black Friday?

    Whether the law states that you can receive two packages per year or not is besides the point. As we know, few people abide by the law. I had one tee shirt sent to me, the first package in many, many years, and had to go through hell with AFIP before I could go to the Correo Central after paying...

    Many Dead In Paris Tonight

    One has nothing to do with the other. A terrible tragedy occurs and you criticize the victims? That's essentially like Europe saying after 9/11 that hopefully North Americans will have learned to keep their nose out of other countries' affairs.

    Dealing with noisy neighbour in an apartment block

    This has nothing to do with noisy neighbors so much as denuncias. They usually don't function but on rare occasion they do. Over ten years ago I bought an expensive pair of leather shoes near Parque Las Heras and after a week they fell apart. The owner refused to refund my money and after...

    Dentist - Should I Go Or Should I Wait?

    I've been quoted by many dentists $1.000 US or more for an implant because it's imported. I had a crown done at Swiss Medical and paid around $2,000 or $3,000 pesos and it only lasted a few years because it was an Argentine crown.

    Surgery And Health Care In Buenos Aires?

    It exists for people who can't or don't do their homework and find a reputable surgeon who operates in a good hospital with a full team and all the necessary medical equipment for any kind of emergency, while finding a place to stay during recovery. I'm sure that many medical tourism companies...

    Starbucks Vs A Good Old Cafeteria.

    I've never seen whipped cream in cans in the grocery store or in restaurants in Buenos Aires but I think that's because people make it. At my family's house they make fresh whipped cream right before they serve it on top of fruit salad.

    A Little Thing That Makes Me Crazy

    If they try to speak to me in English I usually respond: "Que???? No te entiendo. Hablame en castellano, por favor". They promptly repeat themselves in Castellano once they realize their English isn't as good as they thought it was.

    Return To The Us

    There is no cheap way. It's very costly. Plus, you have to take all the clothes and books you plan on shipping to an office in Puerto Madero (I can't remember the name) and leave them their for a day in order to get clearance before shipping them. Then you can pick them up and take everything to...

    Anyone Know A Good Immigration Consultant

    What country was their original citizenship from? I could only see someone being asked to renounce their citizenship if they were English, considering the political issues Argentina has with England. Just look at how many the streets with English names were changed. I believe Argentina used to...

    Considering A 2 Year Move...some Questions.

    Ditto on Recoleta. Plaza Vicente Lopez is a lovely park, and there two supermarkets, gyms, ashopping mall, movie theater, schools, etc. all in one place and accessible by foot. I loved Caballito when I lived there and Parque Rivadavia became beautiful after it was remodeled, but that area is...
