Actually it is precisely that, the profligate spending by the government that is fueling inflation. The more money the government puts into the system, the more prices will go up. Of course there are other factors but that is a biggie. There is definitely a backlash. Pay attention to what's...

Unless your job is paying for the dental insurance or if it's included in your medical insurance, it's completely unnecessary and imo a waste of money. I got a filling here done for around AR150. X-rays really aren't that expensive and neither are the dentist's fees. Wages are much lower here...

Last question. If the check is in dollars can I get dollars or just Argentine pesos converted from the dollar amount?

Would I be able to cash a check made payable to me from a local Argentine company even though I do not currently have an Argentine bank account? If so, does anyone know the check cashing fees associated with getting the check cashed? Thanks in advance,

While I haven't looked to deep into MMA trainers or gyms yet I do know there is one in Palermo that is very popular. I would argue that it would be hard to make a "good" living here doing what you do like you could in China--labor is just much cheaper here, and as a result much much lower wages...

Okay. Sorry just had to post this. Just finished watching Gran Hermano for the first and last time. I never watched the show in the US and now I see why. So tonight the family members of the remaining contestants sent in videos to their loved ones. I sat their in disbelief as I watched every...

Unfortunately, if I´m understanding this correctly it seems to me she was legally in her right to do what she did. I´m assuming the $750 or the first month´s rent was used as a security deposit? In other words it was used to show ¨good faith¨on your part that you would take the apartment for the...

In Buenos Aires the entire restaurant is considered a play area. As long as you don't watch your kids, allow them to run up and down aisles, have a shouting match and completely ruin the dining experience of all those around them, you'll fit right in. On a more serious note I've only seen one...

If by "devaluation" you mean economic crash, there will be one soon. The odds of that happening before the elections are virtually zero. Christina and her government will do everything in their power to stave off any type of fiscal crisis until after the elections.....for obvious reasons...

1,600 for a completely furnished 3 bedroom in Palermo and Las Cañitas??? Not sure how nice it could be at that price.

As everyone's mentioned that's high, especially for being owner direct. There are better deals out there.

High rent compared to? Do you mind telling us what the rent is? That would also help a great deal. Also, it's not that the temporary market is reasonable or unreasonable. That is simply the market. Many expats are surprised to see how expensive living in Buenos Aires has become. It's no longer...

Without pictures that's really difficult to say. How old is the building? Where abouts in Belgrano? Furniture modern? By 24hour doorman do you mean 24 hour security or portero/encargado? Plasma tvs? Does the 120 m2 include both indoor and outdoor space? Will you have any pets? Again hard to say...

Uhhh what restaurants are you going to? I don't know of any good or quality restaurants in BA (outside of your neighborhood parilla) that are still "cheap". Personally I don't think that US$9 or $10 dollars for lunch is cheap, not expensive, but definitely not cheap especially in a developing...

I see nothing wrong with your plan. Too many of us Americans stay in our little bubble called the United States. The trip will give you perspective and will definitely help you figure things out. You're young.....there is no better time to travel and enjoy yourself! A year here is definitely...

I normally shy away from political threads but wow. Somehow, someway, somebody found a way to spin this into the "big bad US". Seriously? Hillary Clinton and Obama have been painstainkingly cautious in their approach to Libya. Did you all just pick up a newspaper a few days ago? This crisis has...

I've never heard of a tourist apartment. I used the word temporary which wasn't the right word either. What I meant was that rental agencies and owners do draw up contracts longer than 6 months for furnished apartments (agencies that typically deal with short-term leases but can also deal with...

I didn't really want to jump in but.....Nikad is absolutely correct. Contracts do not generally mention or have early termination clauses (at least the ones we deal with). Why? Because the "Duration" of the lease is explicitly stated in great bold letters at the very beginning of the contract...

Yes exactly. I'm looking for these. They wouldn't need to be maps of the whole city as tourists don't tend to stray too far from microcentro, palermo, recoleta, san telmo, belgrano etc. I would just need maps to help them navigate these areas. And I'm looking to buy them in bulk so I'm not sure...
