    GMC cars in BA

    If I understand you correctly this is a company transfer? I am not 100% sure on if there are any differences in laws for "company shipped autos" as to those that are shipped by expats and/or dual citizenship shipping. I know what was our case...my husband has dual citizenship...we had checked...

    That's just it! When my husband went to get his they made him take a class...basically to go over the rules and then a written test and driving test! They test your eyes and hearing and what they say goes...if they find something wrong you won't get your drivers license until you see a Dr. and...

    TangoBob is oh so right....the motorcycle drivers here in BA seem to have a death wish! Helmet use has gotten some better since they have enforced some laws...but usually it's worn on your arm...insane! And get them at a stop light and it's like a horse race...who can get off the light first...

    Do fears of crime in Argentina reflect reality?

    I think there is a reality check that needs to go on with some of the of the posts here...crime is an issue here and a big one! 9 or 10 police officers killed since the first of the year! Under age thugs that get away with this because the law won't prosecute under age killers and/or thieves. It...

    Aloe vera anywhere?

    Something I haven't looked for here, but my first thought would be one of the larger, Dietetica Stores...if they don't carry it they should be able to point you in the right direction...since these are mini health food stores they just might carry it.
