    Shocking new income requirement for visa rentista?

    Ceviche I have been here over a decade and that hasn't changed -- it has always been (in the time I have been here, cannot state before) 2 years of residency after marriage before going for citizenship. This is not an example of immigration getting tougher, it is exactly the same as it has been...

    What Do You Wish You Had Brought Or Left Behind?

    But pancake mix? I will never understand that. And if those mix pancakes are topped with Aunt Jemima, ugh. Aunt Jemima is corn syrup, not maple syrup (which is one thing I will bring back from Canada and either down it in a couple of weeks or attempt to savour it until the next trip...)...

    Hash Browns

    I"m convinced papas negras are just papas blancas with more dirt left on them. Seriously, we live in South America, birthplace of the potato, and they generally only have 2 types of potatoes at the verduleria... and then the Andinas that cost a fortune most of the time

    Realistic Goal? Teaching In Actual Schools

    Actually the extremely elite schools here -- Lincoln, St Georges etc -- do a lot of their hiring abroad at international expositions for elite private schools. Some of the very elite schools require you to have a Masters in the subject that you are wishing to teach, the same as elite private...

    Letting Your Kids Starve

    The constitution allows for the free movement of people from frontier countries into Argentina, they are allowed to work without having to solicit a visa. There have been complaints about this for ages. Venezuelans make it in as part of Mercosur, though Venezuela`s membership may be suspended...

    A Beautiful Madhouse?

    Should Trump actually win you may be adding the USA to that list in a few years time. How the Republicans have allowed a man so unqualified to be president get this far I don`t know. At least some of the presidents from crazier backgrounds (ie Reagan-R, Carter-D) had experience as governors...

    Turkey Products

    Any fiambreria has pavita. Chicken sausage go to a granjeria and you can usually get them, though often they are frozen. And it`s not like whole foods where you get 12 varieties. Nope, one. And usually very salty. Piaf has frozen burger patties from different meats and perhaps now they have...

    Is It A Good Idea To Visit Brazil This June?

    We did a similar trip in March a few years ago. With 10 days I would do a couple of nights Rio at the beginning, max 3 Parati, and then spend 4 nights minimum on Ilha Grande -- I would spend the majority of the trip in fact on ilha Grande, though I already know Rio and you may not so you may...

    Spine Surgery Question

    reviving this post -- LaCoqueta (and Eugenia, if you are still here) -- I saw a traumatologo a month or so ago for what I thought was going to be my chronic achilles tendonitis. He suspected it was a disk issue and sent me off for an MRI on my lower back. Results, 60 per cent of lumbar disc are...

    Sacred Harp In Buenos Aires

    I had to look up what it is, sounds like something very American, I don't think it's something that is a thing here at all. You might want to look into choral groups and maybe you'll find something.

    How Long?

    Yes but you forget that Farina has already been in prison for 2 years. 2 years and things are only starting to get moving. CFK is what, 63? Even if she`s guilty I don't think she'll ever get put away. By the time this all comes to a head she will be nearing 70 and then she will make some deal to...

    Thus Spoke Kristina....""

    Oh my god the number of Offshores that Macri has just keeps multiplying -- not two seconds ago I read another thread where Bajo said 8, then 13, now it's 16. It's like Brancatelli estimating people in attendance at comodoro py all over again -- 12,000 people in the real world = 300,000 people in...
