    Tourist visa renewal?

    Two years ago I overstayed my visa. The next time I entered I was given a long lecture by the immigration. You just have to smile and agree. My entry was delayed by ten minutes. They never tried to stop me entering.

    Looking for a neighborhood

    North of The Abasto, very up and coming, you can walk to the Abasto, Villa Crespo and Palermo. The "B" line runs straight into town and there are loads of new bars springing up along Guardia Vieja and Humahuaca. But then I am biased.

    Free Health Coverage For All In The City Of Buenos Aires

    Almost, but not quite true. (One of the reasons I voted brexit) If EU citizens come to the UK they get immediate treatment, but I know from what has happened to my family, if you are hospitalized in Europe you get a bill and have to claim it back. It was also my understanding that we got free...

    Western Union from Argentina to US?

    Absolutely the best way to send money to Argentina is with Azimo. They debit your card directly just like you were at home. Then you pick it up at a local pick up point. Dead easy and the best exchange rates. If you use code FRANKF2 I get £10 and so do you.
