    Where do Argentinians Tan?

    I just tan on my balcony. I went to the ecological reserve in Puerto Madero last week and saw a lot of people tanning there. Great place to do it - quiet, peaceful, clean and seemed quite safe.

    Go to Uruguay every 90 days.. or just stay in AR and pay a fine later?

    Just pay the fine. It is 300 pesos, whether you've overstayed by one day or by five years. You just pop over to the migraciones window in Ezeiza, and whip out your passport and the cash. I've done it before and so have most of the perma-tourists I know. You won't get hassled or locked up.

    Sports Bar? Blue Moon???

    Blue Moon? You've got to be kidding. You can't even find Miller in a bottle here.

    To get to La Paloma, you have the following options: A) Take a ferry to Colonia (Buquebus, Colonia Express or Seacat Colonia) or straight to Montevideo (Buquebus), and then take a bus from the Tres Cruces Mall/Terminal. This is honestly the easiest option. All buses going to La Paloma leave...

    Looking for NGO, Communications, or Multinational Job

    I came down here 7 years ago with a BA in International Relations as well and honestly couldn't find work related to the field. I ended up in Search Marketing. Not my absolute passion, but it pays the bills! If you have residency here, you should look at the job postings on the US Embassy...

    Hair Stylist recommendations?

    Another vote for Terrie! I don't let anyone here touch my hair but her. She's a fantastic hair stylist and a wonderful person.

    Heading to US, need to buy dollars ASAP!

    This is exactly the case. He spent all the money he had in his US account and has been earning pesos here for the past several months. He has a layover in Dallas so, if all else fails, hopefully they'll exchange the pesos for dollars.

    Heading to US, need to buy dollars ASAP!

    So here's the deal...tomorrow night my little brother heads back to US. He needs to buy back dollars so he'll have a little travel money. But how? He has an expired tourist visa and no receipts showing that he exchanged dollars for pesos during his nine month stay. I know that all banks will...

    Has anyone moved from Argentina to Uruguay?

    While it's true that the coast is dead during low season, remember that you always have Montevideo. I absolutely loved living there. If I had to choose between living in BA or living in Montevideo again, I'd definitely choose the latter.

    Hot Air Popcorn Popper

    I make popcorn in the microwave in a closed microwave-safe container. Throw it in for about 3 minutes y listo. No oil or butter needed. A super-cheap and easy option.

    Carne para todos! Seriously?

    I beg to differ. I live out in the GBA boonies and the prices in my area are similar to those in Palermo, Belgrano, etc.

    90 day visa EXTENSION?

    Aaah, I thought the overstay fee was up to $500 these days. He leaves in early December so he's better off just paying the $300 when he leaves then. Thanks!
