    English speaking dentist recommendation

    Anyone have an English speaking dentist recommendation for a annual/semi-annual hygiene scale/clean and possibly teeth whitening? Palermo area or surrounds would be great! While I'm here, also any recommendation for an orthodontist for braces?

    Recommendation For Short-Term Apartment Rental

    Also this. When I was searching on Facebook I had people drop their prices quite a bit. E.g "I normally rent my apartment for USD$600 but you can have it for USD$500". I did not reply. "I really want to go on holiday so I suppose I could do USD$450".

    Western Union Change

    Thanks, that is the information I require. I don't have an EU ID unfortunately but I'll see what I can do. Taking a few minutes to shop around for the best rate is definitely worth it IMO, especially if you have access to multiple Western Unions.

    Does there not exist some type of property brokerage firm in Buenos Aires that handles this type of situation for you, and they just take a small percentage of the sale price for payment?

    Moving to BA

    Can you please clarify? You mean there are places that cater to exapts however the cost will be a lot higher then attempting to find a place on say Craigslist?

    Moving to BA

    Following, I have been here 3 weeks now and am yet to secure an apartment. I was opting for a 1 month lease because I wasn't exactly sure where I wanted to live.

    Getting pesos OUT?

    Thanks for suggestions. Nothing malicious. All above board. I guess for expats they are generally only concerned with getting money in, for 'locals' it would be the opposite.

The pesos I received was the exact same number that was quoted when the...
