i'm still here just a bit busy at the mo and also bored witless by the constant sniping and personal attacks by supposedly sane and mature adults. it really is tedious and is driving people away from the site who might otherwise have something intelligent to say.

hasn't it been re-named scalabrina ortiz? (haha)

Hehe, you're not the first person to believe me to be the long-defunct chematuco but you're just as incorrect in your supposition as the others. Bet you'd like to know who he really was though, eh? Luckily for him, he's no longer in the country and the lynch mobs can't find him. Argentina ground...

the argentines posting here (except tanghetto) confirm the experiences and impressions of myself and my girlfriend...of course there are rivalries between chile and argentina much like there are rivalries between england and france but at the end of the day it's usually all talk. the english...

all expats whine, it's part of being an expat and is something i've seen in every country in which i've travelled and lived...it's something natural amongst all expat communities all over the world; the expat wants, most of the time subconsciously, to feel superior to the natives. the longer an...

I'm english, my girlfriend is chilean...a good couple for argentina, eh? In over 2 years of living here and having travelled all over the country, we've only encountered one Argentine with your (Tanghetto) attitude and views, and he was an unreconstructed fascist.

As this thread descended into name calling and childishness last time, it got locked...anyway, i'm reposting as it might be of interest to some. if anyone has any questions about anything then reply here or send me a note...Well, I’ve got a bit of time on my hands now so in answer to BBW’s...

Hmmm...and if i told you that peruvians eat their babies, strip search foreigners on entry to the country but had a good police force would you fancy going there as well????!! I actually really like uruguay, it's like the missing link between the lack of corruption in chile and the fun loving...

Well, I’ve got a bit of time on my hands now so in answer to BBW’s question of what Chile is like… Firstly, Santiago is not Buenos Aires. It lacks all of the charm and cultural life. Chileans do not care much for their architectural heritage and there’s little left of the French style buildings...

well i just wrote and long reply to your question but the system swallowed it so when i have some time i'll try and write it again...

I haven't posted for a while because i've been in and out of the country organising our move to chile...and also because the last 2-3 weeks of posting have all been along the old, boring lines of 'Argentina's heaven', 'no it isn't, it's a third world hell-hole' without anyone giving an inch and...

bugg er off bigbadwolf, you're not welcome here. (aren't i hilarious?)

talk to this guy [email protected] before doing anything. he's a customs lawyer and also does immigration work. very friendly, trustworthy and fluent in english. importing goods into this country is not easy and is usually prohibitively expensive (high import taxes often mean...

montevideo is great, like buenos aires on sea but much more chilled out. the Sunday outdoor market is one of the best i've been to anywhere in the world, the beach (i can't remember the name of the neighbourhood but it's the 2nd beach along from the city centre) is great-all white sand and you...

'tis but a scam...the seller, being american, perhaps doesn't speak perfect spanish and the escribano and estate agents are in cahoots. basically, the seller should pay 1.5% transfer tax on the amount stated in the contract. however, it looks like on this occasion, he was charged 1.5% of the...

there's no stamp duty for first time purchases in Capital. Buyers in Capital pay stamp duty of 2.5% of the value declared in the escritura only when they buy more than 1 property or on first time buys on properties over us$200k.there's no stamp duty when you sell but you do pay a 1.5% transfer...

transferring money legally is that? ie through a legally accredited and government authorised bank and not through an exchange house/private bank that brings the money in under the table? if they give you more than us$5000 at a time per month then you're doing things illegally.

i'll just add that there's no law when you sell an argentine property that says you can't receive the funds directly into a foreign bank account. so you wouldn't have to send 'cash' out of the country, it'd be wired directly by the buyer. that's not to say that this is a particularly common type...
