if you've cancelled the card and need another, i'm going back to ireland for christmas for three weeks. send me a message if i can be of any help.

Just mentioning to prevent more emails, this was posted in April, and we have a place now, so no need to email me! Thanks.

well strawberries are definitely in season now, as prices in the normal verdularias has shot down from 40 a kg to 15-18 a kg. haven't checked blueberries... I was in El Galpon yesterday and i don't remember seeing any berries, as i probably would have priced them if i did... I did get my...

Is there Rice noodles? for the celiac in my life? the little ones or flat wide ones? anyone know?

I will start the bidding at ONE MILLION PESOS.....

yeah i think after a time we should correlate all the extensive info into an easy to ready buying guide or something..... i don't mean to accidently put myself forward for the job, i'm just putting it out there...

oh yeah i think i heard or assumed that you could get it raised. Thanks for the info.

If you want to live with people try http://www.compartodepto.com/ It's normally cheaper, you will be living with locals or other south americans, get more immersed, and not have to worry about large deposits or buying furniture.

speaking as an irishman... Yes, take as much as you can obviously, and the Uruguay Bank option is also good. Tuesday is a quiet day, and they are always well stocked,no crazy queues, as over the weekend they can be empty.. (and the staff in Migraciones always seem nicer at this time.) If you...

Coconut Oil is available as someone said in El Galpon for 70pesos for a jar. (around 350-400ml i imagine.) Almond flour is available in Barrio Chino, a little expensive at 20 pesos per 100g, but cheaper than the place on corrientes that has it for 28 per 100g. Free Range eggs are available In...

Just a note of warning. They didn't refuse me, but they are starting to request that your middle name which appears on the passport is also on the transfer. I had to wait about 10 minutes while he checked it was ok with a boss, or else he was just having a cigarette outside, while having me...

thanks a mill for the info!

i think i saw a poster saying they'll have it in the new bar across from Fabrica del taco on Goritti 5062.

yeah got that myself, replied in the other thread someone started... thank god it'll be back.

no problem, i was browsing the site myself earlier, and my heart sank when i saw it, was already planning a trip to colonia to pick up from there!

I emailed them and they replied within 20 minutes. WAHOO!

yeah same here. and i almost sent it last week. Damn. So it has disappeared and reappeared before.... we can hope!

I was about to get a transfer last week, checked the rates, and they were good. Went to the site today and Argentina seems to have disappeared off this list of available countries. Anyone hear, or know anything about this?

In the last few days, i've gone to 5 kioscos listed on the site and a few others, and all have been sold out... so maybe the post offices are a more secure bet to actually get one...

Also, 2 other pieces of advice... 1. Bring a photocopy of your passport with you. I didn't have to the first time i went a few months ago, but its now required. 2. My middle name wasn't on the transfer, and the guy said that the next time it will have to be, so it matches my passport exactly.
