Hi Everyone, I'm not sure how many (if any) of you will care, but I thought that I would let everyone know that I landed in BA this morning. I am now looking for an apartment, and anyone who would like to meet up. I don't have a phone yet, but hope to have that figured out by tomorrow. Best...

This is an fascinating thread for so many reasons. Mostly because I'm a few days from finally landing down there, and one of my original concerns was the whole getting kidnapped at gunpoint and having my ring finger mailed to my parents. This thread is making it clear to me that BA is a much...

I guess I need to start making some friends pronto! Thanks Maikito.

Thanks to everyone, excellent feedback above. Why cant most expats not get 3G? How do I move out of the "most category" and into the "3G having Expat" category?? Anyone?

Hi Everyone, I have read all of the posts regarding Vonage, Skype, Magic Jack, etc..., But I am still not sure what I can do. Here is my issue, if anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. Situation: I have a US number that I need to keep. I know that I can transfer the number to...

Too Funny!! I think it looks clean and comfortable. Thats all I need.

No need for an apology. I appreciate the feedback. Part of my draw is that I know the person who designed this place, and she hooked me up with her friends there. With that said, I have yet to book it. I am more than interested in any help with the apartment thing. I have had a few other...

My understanding is that this is fairly expensive compared to what can be found. However, I have read so many threads which insinuate that finding a place in BA is (can be) a nightmare, especially if you need to deal with the electric, cable, gas company, etc... For an extra 275, I would be...

OK, that didnt seem to work very well. www.livianguesthouse.com.ar This is the link.

I agree, just putting feelers out for now. However, here are some pictures of the place, and an explanation. Thanks iStar. The Suite is as follows: Two Double Rooms (double or twin) , 100m2, kitchenette + fridge , living room+cabletv, private bathroom, dressing room, Wi-Fi, barbecue set...

Hello Everyone, My friend has a beautiful Boutique hotel that I am planning to stay in. However, the cost will be less expensive, and the benefits significantly better if I can find someone who is interested in sharing the 2 bedroom suite. The place is immaculate, has its own garden, BBQ...

Outstanding!!!!! I am bringing water filters with me!!! I am coming down on Jan 6th. Anyone want me to bring anything? I am packing an entire suitcase of must have items. So far, it sounds like some chili oil, garlic oil, etc... is the most important. (and deodorant). Lemme know!!!

This makes Fifi's question even more valid. A room last year for 900, the entire flat this year for $500? I'm lost.... interested, but lost. :p

Hello again my trusty forum friends.... I have a question about pharmaceuticals in BsAs. Can anyone tell me what the availability of pharmaceuticals is? Should I bring my own? Can I go to any pharmacy in BA and get a script filled? I'm concerned about bringing a bunch with me, and i am...

I believe that I sent a private note to him (based on your suggestion), and the answer was no. He is in Mexico or Columbia or something like that.

I knew you were thinking about me... It's a bit scary, but despite your harsh introduction, i do appreciate your candor, honest opinion, and assistance. I just wonder why you are there if you think it's such an uphill battle and that people should expect to be disappointed? I was beginning to...

Wow I am flattered, However, I took City Girl's advise and will be staying in the States for Christmas and New years. My ticket to BA has been purchased for Jan 6th. I can't wait to meet some of you. Happy holidays to all. Cheers, Robert

This is a great thread. Thanks for the resurrection Steve. It sounds like most people have positive things to say, with the exception of you, which I've come to expect (and appreciate) from you. You always seem to take the counterpoint, and I am pretty sure you do it for the greater good. So...

That is awesome!! Are you so happy you did it? What where your expenses like for your first Month in the city. (not including travel). I will look at the link that you sent, and I will certainly look you up once I get down there. Thank you very much for the offer. - Robert
