Many have renewed their passports at the embassy. There's something missing from this story.

Awesome to hear!! :) I'm glad you took ChooChoo in.

So much for the quiet country life. Well at least you are back home... what a crazy story. What was the other guy's story? He hit you on accident and wanted to exchange info or what? Why chase you like that? I hope your legal issues resolve quickly, despite how things usually work here. :/

More choice and competition is a good thing. Though with airlines, I kinda wish they'd keep the fairs the same and make the flight more comfortable. I really don't know how tall people survive a transcontinental flight in coach these days.

Unfortunately the degradation of society is a worldwide thing. I found Americans to be trashier than ever last I visited. I'm grossed out even walking into a McDonalds or many public spaces... that doesn't happen to me as much here. People used to dress better and have more class, that's for...

7 days.... lol Took the phone company 4 weeks to come to our house to fix a line that came loose off the telephone pole on the street. Took Fibertel 3 weeks to come and install their internet during that same time. While talking to the telephone company customer service (actually, Arnet, in...

I heard today they are also going to start towing bikes.

How long ago were you here? Things have changed a lot in the last few years. Things aren't the same as they were 10 or even 5 years ago. It doesn't seem to be a very expat friendly time. People are strapped for cash, so I'm not sure how many locals are looking for extras like English lessons...

If the dog is wearing an AFIP vest, most likely looking for money. I've seen those. Also, especially if you're coming from Spain, they have agriculture dogs looking for ham/jamon and other embutidos. I've seen people get caught with those. :P Here at least they only take it away... you get...

Is the mail system as sketchy and undependable sending out of the country as receiving? I've wondered about this, but never sent anything out. Maybe you could get someone to mail it to you. Hope you're still enjoying life back in New York, David. :)

There are separate lines for those with items to declare. If you're bringing in a huge TV, you obviously have to go to the "stuff to declare" line. :) The main line and button are for those with nothing to declare.

I just passed through this semaforo thing yesterday. Had no idea they had this new system... So basically after you collect your luggage, you stand in line and they have this man standing next to the button. You press the button and get a light... green means you're clear, red means the man...

Porteños don't have anything on New Yorkers. :P I haven't been to New York many times despite my father being from NYC and having family there. Every time I've been though, it's always been a bit of a culture shock to get used to their rudene.... I mean speed and efficiency. There's a lot of...

Or maybe December 28th ;) .... I'll bite anyway. There are decent public hospitals. Most people here don't have expensive private insurance plans and women give birth and have healthy babies in public hospitals every day. It might take some searching to find one you're happy with, but they...

haha :D The problem with being gone 10 years is that if you go back, you will mostly find new things that annoy you about the UK. :)

Aw, I'm sad to see you are leaving as well, lacoqueta. Best of luck to you!

The best experiences come from exploring and meeting real people and friends, not people you've paid. Call me old-fashioned. But let's see.... "unique" instagram/twitter worthy ideas.... A bumpy ride on a collectivo in provincia, over pothole ridden streets. (This was actually one of my...

I'm sad to hear that you're leaving, Citygirl...... :( I can see how having kids changes your perspective on things, especially with the uncertainty. Best of luck to you. And it's good that the new owners will keep the dogs. At least they get to stay in their home.

As other have said, unfortunately you are stuck here with your child until the father gives permission for the child to leave. It's not about the stress of moving abroad, it's about the father's right to have access to his child and keep them in the country. Things may be tense now, and I...

I finally got my notice that my package came in - I have to go to retiro. It came with very vague and unclear instructions to go on AFIP website and fill out a "overseas purchase" form, but I didn't purchase or order anything. I'm thinking of just going and trying to pick it up, but another...
