The pet carriers I see in vet shops here are the same ones sold in the US and should be fine. I was looking at them yesterday, in fact, while waiting for Mister the Westie to be released after a tooth cleaning. (Amenabar by Mendoza, btw) The only catch I can think of is that the airlines...

I have to agree with Scott on this one. None of this appears to be part of any plan or even of any consistent philosophy of government or economics. It certainly doesn't constitute a strategy. Instead, each move is a reaction to something, usually something that resulted from unplanned, though...

You're right, arlean, but the free market you describe ended when the great depression hit the US, then spread uncontrolled around the world, and set up the conditions for Nazism, Fascism, and World War II. In the US that "free market" was also characterized by "corporations using their...

If you are a victim, you can denounce the culprit at http://www.mpf.jusbaires.gov.ar/resident/ or go to any office of the Fiscalía. Addresses are on the same page. If you are not a victim, you still may be able to make a denuncia. You can at least consult with a DA if you stop by one of the...

Folks, this is all way outside Argentine bank regulations. Any limits you're running up against are set by Xoom, their local agent, or your bank.

There are 5 or 6 seats in each box, and they're not numbered. So unless you reserve a box that's really center, you probably want to get there when the doors open, so you can grab the best seat. I personally like the rear platea seats. They're a little less expensive than the front rows...

But if it's a scam anyone here might be subject to, you would do us a favor by describing it.

The numbers are real. My accountant audits them from time to time and says they're in line with the expenses of other clients in the same business. Btw, I did not include my income taxes or bienes personales in the monthly number. As I said, it's a high-end apartment. The monthly expenses...

After trying two highly-recommended dentists who seemed more interested in reconstruction than prevention, I took the advice of a couple local friends and went to the clinic of the Drs. Polack on Santa Fe near Uriburu. Since there are several dentists working shifts there, appointments are easy...

These sections are standing room. It's part of the tradition going back to the theater's early days when it wasn't seemly to mix working class Italian immigrant men and women in a tight space jaja. So you understand, as is the case with older European theaters, the Colón segregates more by...

I'm passing along actual numbers for a 1-bedroom apartment in a very good building in Palermo Soho that I rent out temporario. For the period 5-15-2011 to 5-15-2012, the average monthly cost to me was A$R 4,083.43, and of course it's weighted toward recent months, so I would anticipate 5-2012...

I understand that importers are now paying an average 8% of net values to buy import rights from exporters who would otherwise have exported their goods anyway. So the net exchange rate to exporters is around 4.8. Conversely, import prices have certainly suffered an equivalent increase to...

Actually, this is nothing new for Argentina. As I pointed out in http://baexpats.org/expat-life/21606-will-argentina-return-system-multiple-exchange-rates.html, the country operated with multiple official rates of exchange from 1931 until rather recently. I believe they were abandoned only when...

I'm updating an old thread to pass along a couple additional comments about obtaining an Argentine driver's license, which I did today. My experience track's sleuth's almost exactly. I had some problems with the "psych" test because the schoolmarm didn't like my sketches. She made me erase...

The Hospital Alemán will do it with no wait.

I don't know official rules or current practices, but a few years ago my sister in the US sent me a box of used clothing unsolicited that she thought I might want. I received a notice to appear at the Correo Internacional, and after going through the time-wasting routine there, the agents opened...

Carlos Bustos, 15-4079-3237. Remisero with a Suran that holds lots of luggage. Charming guy, totally dependable and trustworthy. I've used him for years. He charges slightly more than a taxi would for far better service.

If you start making an appointment, the page will show you available times, so you can see how long the wait is. You don't need to complete the trámite - you can cancel out at any time without confirming the appointment.

On that one, Argentina is doing quite better than the UK at the moment....

All flights to Argentina are expensive from the northern hemisphere these days. Before buying the discounted r/t ticket and throwing away the return, check the price of a ticket that allows you to change the return. It may well be less expensive than 2 discounted round-trips. For that matter...
