    Lawyer / Abogada - auto accidents, etc Traffic accident / Accidente transito

    Hi all, I thought I would let you know that my girlfriend is a traffic accident lawyer who is accepting new clients. She is experienced and from living with her I can attest that she is very professional, fair, and will get the job done (with the highest payout possible). If you have suffered...

    Mac book air/mac book pro charger

    Did the magnetic connector for yours break? I fixed mine with super glue. And as for Lee´s comment: I´ve been a PC owner many times. I prefer to spend my money on apple products until Windows ceases to exist in the world.

    Nearly Pickpocketed on the Bus

    Awesome idea - unless of course it gets caught on a moving motorcycle, in the subway doors, etc. Then you´re headless. Kind of like the aluminum tabs that Express US gives away to straighten your shirt collars. I say "no thanks" to wearing metal shanks next to my carotid artery!

    bikes in BA

    Although you can usually get away without paying import taxes at the Ezeiza airport, they may stop you if you have a box big enough for an entire bike frame. Also, most airlines will charge you a good $160 extra if they know you´re packing a bike. The savings dry up quickly.. I bought my...

    Riding a bicycle in Buenos Aires

    I brought my folding bike in a suitcase from the US. I got it in the US for $350 and of course they cost much more here. It is awesome for the small elevators and it can easily fit on your balcony or in your closet. They sell an Argentine version in many bike shops - ask to see the "bici...

    Foam pads for beds

    Jaja - especially didn´t help with the confusion when I used the word "egg pillow" to describe what I was looking for - although I do believe that the word "almohada" is in the common description!

    Single woman in BA

    Dancing tango at La Viruta can be difficult when there are so many people in the beginners class on first dates (not focusing on the dancing part I guess). Definitely a great place if you want to be up close and personal by strangers.

    Hotels in Colonia? Help!!!!

    Best advice: Just stay here in Argentina. You can pretty much stay here indefinitely and just pay something like a $70US fine when leaving the country.

    Visa to bring fiance to the USA? K1,K3, B2

    Hey all, I´m trying to figure out the best way to bring my Argie to live with me in the US. I am starting to realize that getting a work visa may be almost impossible and so have come to the conclusion that it is faster, easier, and less expensive to get married. Does anyone have personal...

    Immigration visa TO the U.S. for an Argentine?

    Hello, I have finally convinced my Argentine girlfriend to move to the US with me. We have an interview scheduled in September at the US embassy for a tourist visa, with which we plan to visit my family in December. If she likes the idea, we will then apply for a work visa (I'm not ready to...

    Bring cats back to the UK - Micro Chipping Pets

    Well I guess theoretically, a cat could walk to the US from here. It's not an island like Britain (or the more famously protected Australia).

    Is anyone aware whether the process for this is so stringent for the US?

    TB shock

    I never knew this, but it seems that TB is not all that uncommon according to the WHO: Overall, one-third of the world's population is currently infected with the TB bacillus. 5-10% of people who are infected with TB bacilli (but who are not infected with HIV) become sick or infectious at...
