    Anyone Else Sin Luz?!

    Hospital is good bet you won't have long outages, but this can change. In our block they were making some "improvements" and later we realized that all work was just to separate hospital from the rest of us. Now the traffic lights and hospital have electricity when we are without. Argentinian...

    Look What Happened To Jose De San Martin

    And the guy is getting fatter every time they issue new bill .. And still you can read this: ".... el especialista Edgardo Muela, tesorero del Centro Numismático de Tucumán, explicó que, a simple vista, la calidad del diseño es baja, y advirtió que este factor es peligroso porque puede...

    Getting Real Estate Sale Money Out Of The Country Legally?

    I don't find it simple at all. First you have to find someone willing to do that, then you have to trust enough to give money, and at the end you pay the same % as if you send via bank transfer. And as I said, there were changes lately and looks that we will soon be able to send dollars...

    Getting Real Estate Sale Money Out Of The Country Legally?

    Not option I would normally choose, but it (was) impossible to get money out otherwise. However, I found some stuff that might save me, and maybe help someone else too. On this website: http://www.presupuestofamiliar.com.ar/como-hacer-pagos-y-recibir-dinero-del-exterior-febrero-2016/ they are...

    Getting Real Estate Sale Money Out Of The Country Legally?

    Much has changed since September and now I will have to get the money I grabbed during my stay here (all legal) out of Argentina. It is around 25000 usd, I don't have reciepts for most of it, but it is obvious I earned enough to spare this much. Can I declare it and simply fly with it? I won't...

    Printing

    Sometimes I'm using stp! http://www.stpprint.com.ar/index.php Was always satisfied, but probably better to call first to see if they are right address. Comparing to the rest what I saw on that field they are professionals.. I got once a guy speaking English, but didn't pay much attention, when...

    Moving To Argentina For Love?

    I had somehow easier situation, I met my Argentinian girlfriend when living in Spain, and she was on some working exchange. Then a year long distance relationship and I decided to come here. But, it was easier, because she was never reluctant to live in Europe. Her English was bad on the start...

    Price Of English Lessons

    You said you'll be going to their office, you will have more than one student at the time? As far as I know, language classes of some quality in their place is well above 120p. And for every additional student 50% more.. Maybe you can't expect 250 for one student, but less than 150 is too low...

    Rent Increases

    For now there were no increases. Today I get for my salary approximately 40% less dollars I got year ago, also before paritarias. That some workers get huge increases and many almost nothing is a sad fact of this country. Still, having dollars protects you a bit from inflation and will much...

    Counterfeit Money

    Of course, but I live in a country which worships criminals... Couldn't care less, it's hard to prove you knew it anyway. I asked a friend if I can go to bank to change it, and he told me better not, I would just have troubles without any positive outcome.

    Rent Increases

    I'm not renting nothing to anyone. I'm earning in pesos and my salary didn't see a peso increase since last September. Partly I blame my USA company, which is happily pocketing the difference, so I'm packing soon. I just wanted to say, that you can't have it all. Argentina is not a poor...

    Rent Increases

    There was thread about how dólar should be more expensive. Now it is, and real estates are sold in dollars... Most middle class Argentinians were able to buy dollars till December around 11 average, now it's 16,and expected to be higher soon. 50% rent increase is therefore logical. There are...

    Counterfeit Money

    The only fake bill I know I got, came out of my bank. I spent it, not worth bothering yourself... Now I don't even check them.

    Has It Always Been So Bad?

    Haha, I have to share this, happened just now! I heard on my balcony that someone is puking very loudly on the street, so of course I checked. I was almost awarded with fistfight, since a drunk guy supposedly hit girlfriend of some nervous guy with his liquids... Girlfriend dragged the guy away...

    How Can I Get My Pesos Out Of Argentina?

    How much money you are even talking about? Less than 10k usd or much more? First is for the pocket obviously. Second also, if you have time. But why they told you its impossible to send? Because you are a foreigner? Because I went to ask citibank and piano for transfer and there was no problem...

    Has It Always Been So Bad?

    @ries I don't find it apocalyptical bad here, as some others, but drunks, crazies, motochorros, bike robbers and much more is very common just on my corner of avenida. This isn't all of course, today I took the bus with crazy driver who didn't respect any red light. Sure he checked a bit more...

    Car Towed Away, That's $800, You're Welcome

    Yes, common rule that no one knows and respects. It is not allowed to park on the left side... Of course, I don't see logic why to even paint yellow on the left, if it's anyway forbidden to park. Also, where can one Park, if on the right are bus stations and on the left is not allowed?

    Argentine Car Savings Plan Lottery

    This guys are doing everyone else big favour, when they are putting new cars on the road. Someone has to loose, that other can gain. If they would think through, they would spare dollars (if you could afford cuotas, you could also buy some dollars) and buy car directly cheaper, when it's time...

    Why Do Local Credit/debit Cards Give Huge Discount

    @dada You are obviously lucky with your Chino, even though I can't imagine what rice costs now 8p.. Chinos tend to be quite expensive, I'm using 3 around me out of indefinite number, and only for special products (in one alcohol, the other fiambre and third soft drinks). For every day I use...

    Visa Waiver For Transfer Via Usa

    Uh, didn't even notice. However, the other is over Miami, also iberia later. But in ny there is 10 hours, if I can't manage to get to the correct point, I guess I deserve the trouble ;). But do you think you have to carry checked luggage with you all the way? Because in that case 60 kilos can...
