I used Xoom about 4 years ago, before I had permanent residency. When I went to Banco Francés to pick up the money that I sent myself from my US bank account, they said they couldn't give it to me because I didn't have a DNI. A passport would not suffice. I had to reverse the transfer and then...

You’d have to buy Uruguayan pesos and then use them to buy dollars.

Or download Hotspotshield. It's free and seems to work just fine - I'm watching shows on Hulu right now.

Nope, I like it in the US and drink it quite often when I'm there. The one I tried from here tasted like crap. I am sure.

Start preparing for fall and winter! I'm selling women's coats, jackets and vests. All items brought from the US (except for the cream vest) and in mint condition. If anyone is interested, PM me. You can try anything on before buying and I'll give you 15% off if you purchase directly from me...

Are you sure you even needed your FBI report apostilled? When I applied for permanent residency here three years ago, it was the one US-issued document that did NOT need an apostille.

Terrie always does a fantastic job. Highly recommended.

Very interesting article from The Economist about the credibility (and lack thereof) of INDEC’s stats: http://www.economist.com/node/21548242

More bad news that I came across today: New United Airlines pet travel policy - No more pets flying in cabin or checked as luggage! As of March 3, 2012, United, which is merging with Continental, is adopting Continental's pet transport program known as "PetSafe." All pets will be shipping...

No idea but you can’t miss it. On Olleros between Cabildo and Zapata.

There’s a place I always go to on Olleros and Cabildo. Great work and quite cheap.

I've been investigating the matter quite a bit, as I will be moving back to the US with my 2 cats later this year. You can check them both as baggage with most airlines except for Continental :(. Continental does, however, have a PetSafe program where you can ship them separately as cargo. Did...

I tried ordering a SUBE card online twice and both requests have been rejected. The rejection emails just say: Lamentamos informarle que su solicitud vía web de la tarjeta SUBE fue rechazada por inconsistencias en los datos personales del solicitante. I entered everything correctly. Could it...

Yesterday I bought a bottle of lemonade Vitamin Water for $8 at Coto. It was awful. The VW here is made locally and it shows. In the US, the same flavor tastes much, much better.

I'm looking for the same, but for two cats. Any advice on where to purchase the carriers would be much appreciated.

Yes, you can take dollars out from any ATM machine in Uruguay.

Río Ceballos is a beautiful area, as is nearby Salsipuedes (where I got married). Honestly, Córdoba has so many cute towns that it is hard to pinpoint just one. I also loved Villa General Belgrano but I went during Okterberfest - not sure what it is like the rest of the year. I must say that...

If you go on a Saturday or Sunday at lunchtime, you'll see tons of people there (locals and tourists). Otherwise, it is quite dead.

Having lunch at Mercado del Puerto is a MUST if you love parrilla. Be sure to order a bottle of medio y medio.
