They yanked CNN in English from the basic package in BA a few years ago and made it a premium channel. They may have done the same thing up there in Salta too.

Which cable provider do you have? I have basic cable with Cablevisión and only get CNN en Español at night. They ''share'' the channel with another network.

My brother entered the country on August 25th and got a 90 day stamp BUT they wrote October 25th under it. Either they screwed up the month or didn't feel like giving him the full three months. So to play it safe, he's going to get an extension at migraciones on Monday. How much are they...

$1000 is pricey. I had the same documents translated and certified a couple years ago and paid less. Marisa Mergiotti, a certified public translator (I'll PM you her email address), charged the following back in 2009: Birth Certificate $80 Apostille $80 FBI Certificate $160 (three pages: front...

If you are flying internationally, ojo. The last two times I flew to Uruguay out of Aeroparque, I got held up for quite a long time in the immigrations line. Both times they had only 2 or 3 open lanes and a HUGE line of people waiting.

I ran across the guy's website yesterday and I wasn't really that impressed. It seems like a cheap rip-off of landingpadba.com and baexpats.org.

Please PM me a price list as well. I get my VS sprays and lotions off of MercadoLibre but the prices are usually quite steep.

My office recently bought chairs from Rossi Equipamientos. They look great and are super comfy. I'm not quite sure how much the cost though. You can always shoot them an email.

You can get sea salt (sal marina) at any dietética.

You should have no problem at Banco Piano.

Nutella is NO replacement for peanut butter. Nada que ver.

Will you be traveling alone, with friends or as a couple? If you are looking for a low-key beach resort area, I highly recommend Porto de Galinhas, about an hour outside of Recife. LOVE that place! Maragogi is gorgeous as well.

My brother just got his TEFL certificate a month ago and is completely inexperienced (this will be his first gig), so I think it will be fine if he charges $60 an hour. The father of the kids explicitly requested conversation classes and nothing else. He doesn't want planned lessons or anything...

The foods I miss most have got to be maple syrup, squeaky cheese curds, extra sharp cheddar, BBQ baby back ribs, brats, sauerkraut, cranberries, gyros, clam chowder, rye bread, canned black olives, strawberry rhubarb pie and a big glass of Blue Moon beer with an orange slice to wash it all down...

Thanks for the suggestions. He's decided to charge $60 an hour, since he knows the guy.

I'm helping someone who just got his TEFL certificate find teaching work here in BA. He's received an offer to give my coworker and his three children two-hour conversation classes once a week. Any ideas on how much he should charge per hour for one adult and three kids?

I'm leaving Argentina next year. Just waiting for my husband's US permanent residency papers to be processed. Can't wait to get out. It's been a dreadful 7 years.

For those who speak Spanish here, this link lists all the oh-so-wonderful contributions that the Kirchner's have made.... http://vidio.com.ar/kirchner/

Thanks for bringing up some alternative options, xtrasback. I guess the rule change isn't the end of the world but I'd prefer to avoid the extra paperwork and bureaucracy. Plus, if we file from here, we won't have to translate and legalize our marriage certificate, criminal background papers...
