    Disappointed with Food in Argentina

    Hershey's does over $11 billion in annual sales so they must be doing something right. As for cuisine, my ONLY trip to London, in 1969, left me with a memory if just how bland English food is. Simpsons on the Strand, if it's still in operation, was touted as among the best. It wasn't. Barf.

    Best, safest way to get new US credit card down here?

    Did that with 2 separate debit cards. It was worth the cost.

    Anyone like steak tartare? I have a tough time getting even a medium rare steak here.

    Western Union money transfer

    LOL.....I stocked up on Nampe when Carrefour had a 4 for 2 sale. I could open my own wine store! It's still well under $2 US a bottle.

    Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Oh, news reports I look at frequently from that city show restaurants failing health inspections there!

    Disappointed with Food in Argentina

    I've been in Argentina most of the last 13 years. Between eating at a restaurant, fast food place or with friends, I've never had a bad experience.

    Western Union money transfer

    My experience with WU has been excellent. When charged a fee, I consider it a cost of doing business.WU is reliable, prompt and convenient. I don't want to stroll up Florida Street to change money.

    Western Union money transfer

    My error. Just sent a transfer to myself for a cash pickup and while the exchange rate is somewhat lower, the WU fee was the same.

    US Embassy: presidential election voting reminder for citizens in ARG

    Look online for fax service. It can be done, without contract, for 99 cents. I'd give you a link but not sure the monitor(s) here allow references like that.

    Western Union money transfer

    I fully agree and transfer larger amounts to myself for cash pickups but the receiver here in Argentina is concerned that larger transfers may trigger AFIP.

    Western Union money transfer

    I send a partner $100 twice a month and fee went from 10.99 to 13.99. Maybe a read it wrong?

    Western Union money transfer

    For those regularly using WU, you might want to check their new fees. Seems quite a jump.

    US Embassy: presidential election voting reminder for citizens in ARG

    I used the embassy twice: in 2020 I dropped it off and it was never received in Ft Lauderdale. In 2022 I rushed it to the embassy with 24 days to spare but it was received 10 days late. The fax today worked like a charm.

    Just faxed my ballot, online, at a 1 time cost of 99 cents! I can't believe it was that easy.

    Thanks for the info. I emailed my county (Broward) elections supervisor after reading your reply. They've not yet responded. I'll update this when they do.

    That won't work if you're a Florida voter.
