I got an implant + abutment done by Pelcman in April this year for under $800US. He also had to extract the old tooth and give me a plastic one for the few days until the surgery. I'm having the crown made here in the US, and it's probably going to cost me more than the surgery!!

I too found Santiago to be much more "American" (fast food, people a bit less gregarious, better economy) and quite boring! Pick your evil I guess..

Thanks for all the help guys, but it seems like all of these have TERRIBLE online reviews. I'm not worried about getting her bag stolen but I do want her covered if she has to go to the emergency room! World Nomads reviews (I'm sketched out by them because all complaints have to be processed...

I saw one of these posters yesterday in Belgrano - Plastered directly over a payed advertisement at a bus stop. If the vandals support Christina, (and judging by the amount of graffiti in this city I'd say they do) then I'm not going to support Christina!

The same thing happened to me last month at Farmacity on Libertador y Juramento. I was in conversation with my girlfriend and counted as I was walking out the door. I came back and said "Uhhhh yo creo que falta.." and he already had extended the 10 pesos out to me (he didn't even take it out...

Star/Dennis - have you had personal experience with World Nomads/Squaremouth? Have you ever filed a claim?

Thanks ndcj, I contacted a few Minnesota companies that are very popular, but they won't touch anyone that does not have residence in the US (ie - no tourists). I have no problem paying $100/month for her - it's better than going bankrupt.

Hey all, My fiancee is coming to the US on her tourist visa until we have a date at the US Embassy in BA for her Fiancee visa interview. She has bought travel insurance, but it only covers her for 2 months of travel at a time. We plan on being in the US up to 6 months, and I don't want her to...

I MAY still have mine for sale after tonight. I'll ping you if it is. On a second note, I am selling my ipad. Glass is cracked but it works great and you can't see the crack when the screen is illuminated. http://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar/MLA-148093464-ipad-2-16gb-con-4-meses-de-uso-_JM

I had the surgery at Dr. Pelcman's office last week. He charged me U$780 for the following: -Temporary tooth (until surgery - he put a metal rod in what was left of the root and fastened an acrylic tooth) -Root extraction -Implant -Abutment (Implant and abutment are made in USA) -Denture with...

USAA has great customer service!

I just bought a 5 pound bag of ice for $25 pesos (5 bucks) at the gas station on the corner. How's that for PPP?

Agreed. I'll be taking notebook.flx's stories with a grain of salt from now on :o

I'd recommend one of these: http://www.hafdasa.com/ballester-molina_argentinas_mystery_45.shtml

It's been reserved by a family member. I would highly recommend one to anyone living in the city! www.dahon.com

Or don't leave your fiancee with a note on a napkin after her father paid for the wedding... :confused:

I've taken my bicycle on the bus, but it's a folding one and very portable. Your best bet is to catch the train. Generally the first or last cars don't have seats and are for bicycles. If you aren't buying a U$900 bicycle you most likely won't be robbed. If your bike costs more than $300...

I just changed for 4.85 at Juramento and Cabildo (Belgrano) today. From the corner walk on the north side of Juramento about 3 doors toward Luis Maria Campos.

I agree. I'm already trying to cope with the thought of moving back to Minnesota. Long winters, predictable people, and steady 8 to 5 job. That's why I'm bringing the porteña with me :cool: We'll see how long it takes before I start missing this place - not too long I'm guessing!

I can't agree more that the customer service in this country is sh*t.
