    Easter Weekend-Mar del Plata? worth it?

    I went on a surf trip through Surf Urbano last year for Semana Santa. I remember the traffic being pretty bad, (something like 5-7 hours return trip) but I had a good time. I'd recommend renting a room as far in advance as possible, and take some surf lessons!

    DNI LIST (the queso grande of all DNI questions for US citizens)

    The list is on page one, but I don't have an apostile for my FBI background check! I'm afraid to send it away and wait 3 weeks.

    Chavez wins journalism award...

    Just because the guy can give 5 hour speeches doesn't mean he deserves an award. See my thread on traveling to Venezuela if you're interested.

    DNI LIST (the queso grande of all DNI questions for US citizens)

    Okay guys, after 4 interviews and a mandatory basic English test, (is this normal?) I have secured an 'informal' job offer. They say they cannot create a formal job offer because I do not have a DNI or CUIL. Ironically, I cannot have these things without a formal job offer. HR is 'working' on...

    Want to help set up HDTV IMPORTING business?

    VERY good point. I recently brought a 19" Samsung down (NSTC) and all my cable TV is in black and white due to the differences in TV standards. :(

    Cycling In BA

    I agree with you Dave. With a little aggression and quick reflexes, a bicycle is the best form of transport in the city if you're traveling >3km. Hopefully the ciclovías will expand more rapidly and people will learn to stop parking/dumping dirt in them. This city could be the next Amsterdam!

    DNI LIST (the queso grande of all DNI questions for US citizens)

    Thanks Steve, To clear that up - I am going for my temporary residency, with which I can be hired by a company to obtain a DNI? Or do you need a DNI to be hired? I've already had two interviews, and the company is international and has hired Americans before. I don't want to go asking too...

    Renewing my US Passport

    If you can't find them on the embassy website, (which you could if you googled for 3 minutes) they will give you the forms at the embassy. I've seen them taking photos at the embassy so I'm assuming they could do that for you too.

    All FLIGHTS CANCELED from EZE, Aeroparque etc

    Has anyone seen UN (US) air transport ships outside of the city by chance? Maybe they mixed up Libya with Argentina - God knows that most of the people in our countries don't know where either is....

    Renewing my US Passport

    US Citizens get 'baller status'. I showed up without appointment and passed about 50 Argentines in process trying to get a tourist visa.

    DNI LIST (the queso grande of all DNI questions for US citizens)

    Hello all, I apologize if this subject has been beaten to death, but I have ran into more than 3 yanks at the US embassy with absolutely no clue on how to obtain temporary residency / DNI. When I receive my antecendente penal from Piedras tomorrow I am going to reserve a turno at Migraciones...

    Apples?

    Verdurias, like Ashley said. I Bought a kilo yesterday and they are tasty! I don't know about Argentina but typically the apples in Minnesota are best when fall hits and the temperatures are well below what they are now...

    iPhone 4, it works!

    It depends on what software you have on your iphone. If you don't upgrade your sw for a month or two (using itunes) the website I provided should be able to hack it.

    Ripped off by Landlady! Stole reservation money

    Go to the Defensa Consumidor. It will take a while for the recourse but at least she will get hit for tax evasion (maybe?). If you have a lot of time, just find where she lives and slash her tires. Send her a nice note mentioning her beautiful car :)

    Renewing my US Passport

    US Embassy is located in Palermo: Mailing address: Av. Colombia 4300 (C1425GMN) Buenos Aires Argentina I'd have to check the prices, but I think it is cheaper to renew your passport than to buy a new one that has been 'stolen'. I know we all like to keep our souvenirs... I went last week...

    Cat calling

    I touch her ass in public all the time! For me it's much less of a big deal than people sucking face in public :rolleyes:
