A house is definitely a possibility in Belgrano. In particular, the part of belgrano called Belgrano R has a lot of english-tudor style homes. Also, the area borded by Luis Maria Campos, Cabildo, Maure, and Virrey Loreto has some upscale homes as well. A good idea would be to use the search...

I went there for a day trip yesterday. Small town. Everything was closed since it was Sunday. I spent a little time walking around the plazas/park they have next to the river. Then, I paid 50 pesos to enter the "River Club" at the end of the town. Spent the rest of the day hanging out by...

I would like to simply re-emphasize what Sleuth says. If you do not have a garantia, be prepared to pay 6 months or one year in advance. Even if you have a garantia, it still might be a good idea to prepay so you can 1) get a discount and 2) lock in a lower future payment. It is also cheaper...

Unless you are an inflation indexed bondholder, does anyone really care what the government says inflation was? All private estimates I have seen are in the 25-30% range. I believe the last official government figure was around 11% rolling year to date. But, I dont have a source. Given the...

My understanding was the whole thing started because of a strike at one of the YPF refineries. While this did affect the supply at some YPF stations the other gas stations were supposedly not affected. Once the rumors started though, it was as if people thought a hurricane was coming and that...

So, this is just a shot in the dark, but I am currently looking to move to an apartment in Colegiales. I am looking for a modern (less than 10 yrs old) duplex in the residential area bounded by Cramer, Lacroze, Alvarez Tomas, and Los Incas. Trying to move between now and April. Thanks.

Uh, what "level" of basketball are you guys playing? I guess what I am asking is if there is a place for an old, slow "out of shape" white guy?

So, as someone mentioned above, if I was you, my biggest concern would be the quality/location of the living arrangements. If that is in a decent part of town, near to where you will be taking classes, and a nice enough apartment, then you are probably getting an ok deal. Over the years I have...

So, a group of about 7 of us are going to the Independiente soccer match Thurday at 930 pm at the stadium in Avellaneda. There is no problem getting there, but does anyone know of a service that could pick us up in preferably some type of van? Collectivos are notoriously bad about not stopping...

No, I dont remember what the taxes and fees amounted to. I searched around for the paper with the official quote they gave me that itemized everything, but I cant find it. As, I recall the 4x4 model came fully loaded with leather and a sunroof. To hold down costs, the only option you could...

For what it is worth, I too have long thought about importing a car from the US, and I also have looked into getting a CR-V or Rav4 type vehicle. There is just no way I can bring myself to pay the insane prices here for a used CR-V. After doing some research I concluded the following: 1) The...

So, I have spent the last day or so trying to unlock my iphone 3gs as well. It is running 4.0.2 and 05.13.04. Looks like the jailbreak is easy to do, but I still havent figured out how to do the unlock. Does anyone know if it can be done? I also contemplated downgrading to the 4.0.0, but...

Rules have not changed. Although, I wouldnt call the process "easy." The documents you need are the certificado of domicilio and a passport. Not a big deal. The difficult part is straightening out all the paperwork the seller needs to provide. So, you should either buy a car from someone...

Hi all. I have a local account and I buy and sell stocks here sometimes. I thought some random observations might be useful: 1) If you purchased GDP warrants, those are not regular bonds. In my opinion, to "invest" in those you should be a somewhat sophisticated investor who a) is...

I know a good tennis coach. Been going to him for like 3 years now. Works at Club Ciudad de Buenos Aires at Libertador 7500. Cost is 80 pesos per lesson and inlcudes the court. He is young and coaches the new "loopy/clay" topspin style. He was a top 20 junior player here. They have a good...

My understanding of the situation is similar to what argenvans says. A local argentinian cannot buy a foreign registered used car here in Argentina. The only way for a local to buy a used car from the US in the country is 1) to be a diplomat, or 2) live abroad for 1 year and bring the car in...

I am signed up for automatic bill pay with movistar. I still get the physical bill in the mail, sometimes, and I dont really pay attention to the emails they send. I do know they take out the same amount every month and have never messed that up in 2 years...

I am interested in importing some toys ($5,000-$10,000) from either the US or Europe. Does anyone know a good despachante de aduana? thanks

Hey docmaker, I have a 2 br place and might need a roommate until December. But, I am currently filming a documentary (my first) and would be interested in getting a coffee and shooting the bull about films.
