    Expats making friends with Porteños

    I think that being friends with porteños is like opening up christmas presents. Let me explain: When you first open a gift you´re excited with its novelty. Its new and sparkly and you want to use it all the time. Then the novelty wears off and you forget about it. I feel the same way with my...

    Argentines bringing used electronics into Ezeiza?

    I think there´s a way around it as you already have the laptop, and I don´t believe they physically check electronics leaving the country. You could have her write down the serial number on the forms when she leaves and then will enter with the physical computer with no hassle. However, you´ll...

    I´ve been pondering a question since I was old enough to remember about living in the States vs Canada. I´m a duel citizen and can thus go anywhere I want and want to see if there are any others out there that have questioned the same this. I´m a fanatic of Investopedia and today I read an...

    Immigration visa TO the U.S. for an Argentine?

    I´d like to know about how this has all worked out now as well? I´m content to stay here for the next two-ish years, but we´ve already started looking into Marriage visas. I´ve been told it´s easier if we get married there and then begin the paperwork rather than getting married in Argentina...

    Should I Do a Visa Run?

    I wouldn´t worry about it. It´s going to cost you more to go and come back than just paying at the airport. (Then again, I´m about 5 months over...)

    Best Way to Receive Package from Abroad

    My parents send me quite a few packages and never tell me that they're coming and we've never had any issues with the US mail service. Tracking order is a great idea though!! Clothes, shoes, spices, even books. They always get the insurance. My poor grandmother sent me a birthday card via...

    I Don't Say Anything About Your Blue Leopard Print Stretch Pants

    Gosh, I was just thinking this the other day!! I went to put my heels on and then I double thought it and put on some flats instead. Why is it that the girls here don't do this? I mean, no offense, but New York (in my opinion) is more fashion forward than BsAs and you can't find a woman there...

    I´m half way in agreement, half way not with your statement. One one hand, I have a very loving Argentine partner and one of the best Argentine friends you could find.. although.. My boyfriend is from Cordoba and my best friend is from Salta. I would say that it is difficult to be friends...
