    are you happy there?

    BlahBlah- Now and in the future...I have no inclination to engage with you or explain to you my reasons for anything. If you do not like my posts, then ignore them. I plan on doing the same with yours.

    Property buyer in Buenos Aires

    My recommendation is NEVER buy ANY property in Argentina. It really is more trouble than good. If I hadn't bought mine in 2003 I would get the Hell out of here as fast as possible. It is rotten to the core. Don't let a french facade fool you.

    are you happy there?

    As usual, Recoleta Carolina is right about everything. Has anyone seen the latest "scam" listed in the ArgentinePost website about now chargeing $3US for every bank transaction PLUS the fee your bank charges? It never stops. Everyday is more BS. By the way, 2003 was WONDERFUL here! Prices...

    Electricity increases 400%?

    Once again.....this ALL just proves my point...EVERYDAY its something else and ALWAYS more ridiculous. Still waiting for mine. Last month my neighbor received his bill...normally 80 pesos for electric. Last month it was over 700 pesos. I comprehend the need to raise the fee but as usual this...

    Hypothetical question...

    Again....your point would be? Thanks for the tip. I am leaving next week for a wonderful New England vacation with a shopping list a mile long. Hope things are not "confiscated" upon my return. I am sure you wish me well.

    Hypothetical question...

    Celia- Sorry about that. I guess I should have put another listing on my post that said: Last time I checked, it was illegal for immigrations authorities to want bribes, steal from suitcases upon arrival. This was all filmed a year or two ago at Ezeiza by a local news station. It caused...

    Hypothetical question...

    So are you going to attempt to justify the other eight ones mentioned as well or just one?

    Hypothetical question...

    Thanks for the input. Everything is subject to who you speak with, what "mood" they are in on a given day, etc. You ask one question and get five different answers. Blah Blah Blah: As I stated repeatedly: It was just a question. You provided no valuable input except to proclaim it was...

    Hypothetical question...

    Blah- It is a 'hypothetical' question. No need to run to the corrupt authorities yet. As far as AFIP goes, this is not a purchase, simply a transfer to another individual., much like an inheritance, if you will.

    Hypothetical question...

    As a foreigner owning an apartment in Buenos Aires WITHOUT a DNI.....and not interesting in selling now, but: If someone wanted to sell his/her apartment to another foreigner (i.e. American to American), in order to bypass all the b.s., could you simply have purchaser transfer the sum from his...

    Cost of Living

    The cost of living increases cannot be compared using basic logic, to the U.S. and Europe. With unions, backed by the government, demanding and receiving salary increases in excess of 30-40% (unheard of in stable countries), the government subsidization of local gas and electric (and NOW...

    Is the Argentine Economy Going to Collapse?

    WONDER WHY whenever I make a comment on something, it "disappears" into the "wilderness"??

    Is the Argentine Economy Going to Collapse?

    Perhaps this is a bit off topic...but, as an American, I do not see a huge difference between the basic democratic principles and economics between the U.S., Canada and Australia, not to mention culture and language. For someone to be Australian and strongly Anti-American is interesting. I can...

    "Closed Door" Restaurants

    I was at CasaSaltShaker a couple of years ago with three friends. We were ALL completely disappointed with the mediocre food, "attitude" as one previous person mentioned and the price. I apologize but I really do not know what the "hype" is all about. I have met others who dined there as well...

    Is the Exchange Rate Managed by the Government?

    With the lack of products available (even finding decent bananas can be challenging), poor quality of what you do find and don't want to pay for, coupled with inflation on a daily rate (Everything from private medical coverage to Encargados' salaries) it should be about 5:1 to even be reasonable.

    Barracas next?

    It appears that someone is trying to hype up Barracas for some unknown reason. It is depressing, isolated and dangerous. If anyone has ever tried to get a taxi there in the evening its almost impossible. Don't believe the article is accurate in any way at all. Mind you, I vowed never to go...

    Restaurants with salad/vegetable bar

    Sorry about the bad directions. Right, Carlos Pelligrini side. NOTE: however, OLEO states they are open for lunch on Saturdays but they are NOT.

    The best place for a decent all you can eat salad bar is "Juana M" located on Cerrito side across from La Recova. You can review the specifics at the restaurant guide OLEO.com.

    McCain Picks HORRIBLE VP

    Yeah Stan. Look at ALL the experience the current occupant had and look where that got us. The "experience" argument is obviously irrelevant.irrelevant. I have more experience than GW, let alone, common sense. If you are a McCain supporter, however, that is your business. I can't change...

    McCain Picks HORRIBLE VP

    Dudester-Have to say.....your post was GREAT! Best post EVER on this site. I agree 120%. When this came out yesterday, I thought "Gee, why the Hell not pick me?" I am more qualified than this idiot. McCain really has no idea what is going on. Next weeks convention should be entertaining...
