Lacoqueta, My ticket was with Delta. They called the ZK an origination tax on the phone and said it was required by Arg law. Anyone find a way to talk them out of it with a US or non-Arg credit card?

I'm attending the EMBA program at Di Tella and am very happy with the program. Started mid-Aug '13 and goes until Dec '14. As advertised, it's an intensive program but I am enjoying it and making good contacts and friends. Interestingly, we have an IAE employee in our program. That got a few...

I usually purchase airline tix from a travel agent in Uni Center with pesos. Yesterday they said I can no longer buy a ticket for my use in pesos without a DNI due to the central bank restrictions. It sounded like an agreement between the airline Delta and the central bank? Any non-resident...

Have any non-residents purchased travel packages since this announcement? I'd like to hear if there has been any change yet.

I live in Nuñez and like it. It's green and a nice breeze from the river on Libertador. I really like BesAres parilla and Bandol. There's a new sandwich coffee shop called Oporto, too, that is cool. They're opening a 3rd floor roof terrace there soon. There is a great hardware store run by a...

I had pages added to my passport book 2 weeks ago at the Embassy in BsA. It was rather painless. Fill out and print your form before you go. As Gaucho mentions, you can click the 52 pages for the same price to get more pages. You can skip the line, VIP style, and go right to the window. Arrive...

i didnt see much civil defense in Nunez, but went to Dot for lunch, there were about 6 buses full of metro police. Seems they had enough foresight to block another potential saqueo there from angry neighbors.

Have had Claro over a year with a Samsung smartphone purchased abroad and unlocked. No complaints, pretty good service in Cap Fed. I had Movistar for a year and it was a nightmare. Every month it was a crap shoot with the bill. Some months the bill was double or triple was I expected. Had to...

I got the lowest cost plan at Medicus a few months back for the same reasons you list, It's about $770/month and I've been very happy with the services. I'm close by one of their clinics, so that would be something to consider in your choice. Just had a doctor come for a housecall- not...

I use samsung gs3 phone as a hot spot, tether off that. No problems with Claro. Had Movistar a few years back, they constantly accused me of tethering, even though I was not, and claimed those charges would not be covered. after a lot of time spent in line, I made the switch to Claro. Good luck!

Just bought a vacuum from this website hogarstore.com.ar They delivered to my apt in Cap Fed for free the next day, paid in cash, product works great. Found the only upright vacuum in the country on their site.

I got a nano SIM from Claro a few months back.

Had a friend send me a small jawbone speaker, retail $120. It's about 6" x 2" x 2". He sent via FedEX and it costs about $140 to send (expensed to his work, of course). When it arrived, I had to pay an additional $200 pesos when delivered to my building. It took about 2 weeks to get here...

Went to Santiago about 2 months ago. I was surprised how expensive things were there. It seemed restaurants were more expensive than BsA along with shopping malls. I was looking for a digital camera and found they were a little cheaper than BsA but not close to prices in the US. Check out...

I got my visa for Brazil in Buenos Aires about a year ago. They did indeed look over the hotel and air reservations. I was flying into Sao Paulo and out of Rio, so they asked a few extra questions about that. They did look over bank statements rather quickly, and no questions about those. I...

There's a store near the Megatlon Nunez, around 7700 Libertador, that has a good selection of supplements. .
