We weren't planning on leaving but someone knocked on the door and made an offer and those opportunities don't come twice. And we love(d) our life but with the kids, we started realizing that Argentina might not be the best place for them in the future. Informal pics of dogs from this week...

We're leaving Argentina. Sold the farm and the new owners decided they were too much dog for them. I think I have one placed but I want to make sure they wind up in the right situations.

I have four large dogs that are available for adoption over the next few weeks. Not suitable for house dogs but absolutely suitable for campos, quintas, etc. 1) Fila Brasileiro (brazilian mastiff) - Female, turning 4 and will be spayed next week 2) Boerboel (african mastiff) - turning 2 - male...

I'm not a lawyer but having lived t through it with some friends - I believe you are here until your child is 18. You have Canadian citizenship as well but you are Argentine. As Argentine citizens living in Argentina, Argentine law applies. Doesn't matter your other citizenship. And that law...

But I believe that potential clients on here wouldn't be affected by either of the situations mentioned (entering illegally or overstaying a deportation notice) so better to have it be slightly alarmist no? ;) ETA - The above aside, I think if this is true (and details are sketchy) - it's...

He's the one that is by far at the bigger risk. I can't think of a single reason to go through an agent. If you are really worried, you could draft up a contract and send it to him and he could sign/send it back.

Anyone have any recommendations for international shipping companies? I'm looking for door to door service. Doesn't have to be in a hurry (aka container on boat is more than fine) but do nee someone reliable and cost-effective ideally.

Also depends where you're from. I went to several banks here at one point looking to open an account and NO ONE wanted to do it for a US citizen because of the reporting requirements (despite my permanent residency here). I gave up b/c it wasn't a requirement for me but it may not be as easy...

Doesn't have anything to do with being a foreigner - people steal phones all the time here from anyone/everyone. Sorry to hear it happened - it's a PITA. Relatively inexpensive smart phones likewise don't exist. You can check mercadolibre for models/prices. Probably expect to pay around 200...

I'm sure it. I once bought some of both, washed the papas negras and compared them. No difference in taste or texture.

I am sure it will! Thanks for posting it!

Oh thanks! I forgot about the Senasa cert (our vet will do the health cert here) although I'm not certain the airline's check it since he's flying as a carry-on in the cabin with us, not as checked baggage. But I'll stop by their office anyway just to confirm, there's one close and I am there...

Thanks! I already have him "booked" with us for our flight in Oct (hence the fight with them about the soft kennel size). We're going into the US, not Argentina. Per the USDA, no import requirements for cats. And per the CDC, there is no type of paperwork besides the health cert (in english)...

Anyone flown with their cat or small dog in the cabin on Delta? Do they actually measure the carrier? I confirmed with Delta before buying my ticket on the size of the kennel but when I called today, they told me a different (really small) size. I can order another carrier bag and have it...

The great thing for me was I never cooked before I moved to Argentina so I don't miss one flour vs another :) Practically - sheets for sure, towels, cookware, knives, etc. Not so much an issue for a shorter stay but buying local on a local salary - those kind of things are cost prohibitive and...

Yes, it was dinner for 2 people. 1500 pesos total or more or less $100 dollars - not including tip. With tip, it was 1700 pesos. The food is good there and it's always been a favorite. But that's not far off from what I would pay today at Blue Ribbon Sushi in NY for about the same quantity of...

Clearly no Argentine will buy it ;) I bake all the time for the reasons el queso discussed. Bakeries are generally quite expensive and the quality isn't equal to the price IMO. EJ: I bake my own bread and it costs me approximately 10 pesos to make a large loaf of bread that is delicious. My...

Where is he working in San Isidro? That will be a big factor in determining the commute. (i.e., is his office near a train stop, etc). That being said city to san isidro is reverse commute so while you will have traffic, it won't be like those that are commuting into the city in the morning...

If you know of "massive, systemic corruption"within customs in the US, I would suggest you report it. It certainly would be an attention getter since I'm not familiar with there ever being a problem outside of isolated incidents. But I'm sure you have proof since you're making those kind of...

And FWIW - I have a friend who's a muckety-muck in the FBI. According to her, HRC is not exactly a fan favorite in the bureau. If they could have charged her and had it stick, I'm sure they would have done so. It's not exactly a hotbed of democrats in that area. The problem is the law is...
