We almost always split up the bill when we go to asados with my Argies friends and it´s always so weird to me? Then again, if the host is paying $500 to feed 10+ people, I can understand that. And they´re not that young to be splitting. When we go to an expats friends house, we always ask...

I had the same experience you ladies are talking about! When my boyfriend and I both went to get the full tests done, including HIV he had no issues with his health care but with mine, I got the stare down. Is it really that odd to have a full STD test when you and your monogamous partner...

Western union is now trying to charge $25 for a transaction. Their exchage rate is still good though 4.19 instead of 4.20 which is the rate online. So, what´s your opinions on wiring money to my boyfriends account? Or another quick, easy way to get cash?

post script: this only works for you if you´ve planned out your monthly expenses as the $3.00 fee does come is a three-day delay. I typically look at all my expenses, factor out how much I want, and then send myself the money. Easy peasy!!

Western Union. They charge a $3.00 fee for up to $2500 USD although you´ll receive pesos.

We´ve been tracking our food spending over the last few months and it seems that with two of us, we spend between 1000 and 1200 pesos (with eating out/ordering food once a week). We do one enormous Coto trip on the weekend (10% discount on debit cards) and then probably buy veggies and fruits...

Thanks so much for this! I´ll check it out now.

Exactly. What would be the idea. There are websites to compare within the US, meaning NY versus Chicago. I want to compare BA to Boston as I´m being headhunted by a client of mine and want to see if it´s worth it and how much more they need to pay me.

Sorry, I don´t think I explained myself well enough. I´m looking for a Salary Converter not a currency converter. If I earn, for example, $6k pesos per month, what would be the dollar value be IN the united states? Not taking into account too much the cost of living. And wow, how awful has...

Anyone know of a good currently converter? I´m not as interested in cost of living, more so what an Argentine salary would be equivalent to in the states.

Looks like there´s one starting on November 11 in BA. Looks pretty interesting!!

We had a conversation about this last night as its very clear to my Argentine that by December I will be ready to leave and he proposed this question to me: "If you take a guy from the villa and bring him to Palermo to live in our apartment, is he going to suffer? Ok, now think if you took...

I´m ready to go home and have been ready, but much like others, I´m here with my Argentine significant other. We´ve got a ski vacation in canada to see my family planned for December, and after that it looks like I´ll be staying in either Canada or the states. I´m tried of apartment living...

How has no one said Cuevana.tv yet? It´s the absolute best! I´ve got a Mac and had no problem using it. It doesn´t run out after 70 minutes and it has tons of movies and series with subtitles or you can take them off.

It seems that just a little bit ago Coto as well took away their discounts specific to various banks. Now they have I believe 10% for all debit cards on Saturday. We do a huge shop once a month and freeze meat, then go maybe 1-2 times a week to get veggies. Coto for us is definitely the...

Ahh I´m from Indiana!! IU Hoosier Grad and proud of it!! We could team up? That is, only if you´re ok playing with a Carmelite..?

I wanna get in the barn!!! I actually started the Euchre club at my high school if you can believe it. I'm down!! Just get them udders out!

cuevana. nuff said.

With Medicus (being 26 years old) I'm going to be paying $575 pesos. I've never paid a co-pay and they have 40% off for prescriptions. I've had CT scans, blood drawn, whatever you want! So a little cheaper than the rest and really great coverage!

I´ve got medicus and have been quite happy with them. Although they did just raise my rates by 15%. I´m assuming the same happened with all others as it was a pretty big news event.
