    EXPATS BOYCOTT ARGENTINE TRAVEL

    Oh here we go again. The word racism is thrown around like an old penny. Everyone who disagrees with someone else is labeled a racist. Well if thats what you want to call me/it, then so be it. I could actually care less what you think. Most people actually are racist in some form or...

    EXPATS BOYCOTT ARGENTINE TRAVEL

    The actual topic is about the unfair airline practices in Argentina. THIS IS WAY OFF TOPIC..As usual some individuals blow up and it becomes a post for racism, how "wonderful" the Argentines are, corrupt U.S. business practices and weapons of mass destuction.Give me a break.

    ronnyjob (or whatever it is)I do not believe my comments have ANYTHING to do with racism. So are you also saying that Argentines who overwhelmingly in every survey conducted, dislike the U.S. So are Argentines racist regarding the U.S. in your view?In the end, your comment holds no...

    EXPATS BOYCOTT ARGENTINE TRAVEL

    I would just like to point out that a couple of posts say that I am (or likewise people) trying to "Beat the System" by living here without a DNI.First of all, I have sporadically attempted to get a DNI on numerous occasions. The process, if you want to call it that, is extremely frustrating...

    RWS:You are not being abrupt. You can ask whatever you want. You just may not get an answer.Truthfully, I admit I tend to "dramatize" things on occasion. Yes I could move elsewhere and make a nice profit on my sale. But there are factors to consider and I am well aware that the "grass is...

    Apartments

    I love these posts. They simply confirm my point that people here are greedy. Why would a "foreigner" in Brussels or Rome have to "wait in the wings" to get a deal on a place? Simply because he/she is a foreigner? Absurd. Only Argentina....the land of screwing over foreigners AND they will...

    EXPATS BOYCOTT ARGENTINE TRAVEL

    I have tried to have someone with residency purchase a ticket in the past. As the preivous writer stated, they will accept a foreign passport for an argentine price. I must admit this is insane. If a company tried to pull this in the U.S., they would be sued quicker than you can blink.I...

    EXPATS BOYCOTT ARGENTINE TRAVEL

    I have been aware for five years that Aerolineas Argentinas has a practice of charging foreigners double the price for a plane ticket than they do Argentines. I thought LANChile did not. I am mistaken. I just tried to get a flight r/t BA-Mendoza. The price for Argentines is 630 Pesos. The...

    Who's For Whom ? Obama, Hillary, McCain

    I love it when people use the excuse that Obama doesn't have enough experience. Like that is even relevant. Look at the current idiot who is running the show. Can you possibly get any dumber and arrogant than that? I knew he was a problem back in 2000 BEFORE he was handed the election but...

    U.S..Citizens - why did you move to Buenos Aires?

    Sergio-Fair enough about the medical coverage. I am in my early forties so I suppose mine is cheaper although I do use one of the better companies you mentioned.Regarding the U.S. and living outside a major urban center: Well, I'm sure DUDESTER will agree, can you really LIVE in rural West...

    U.S..Citizens - why did you move to Buenos Aires?

    Sergio,While I agree with 99.9% of your posts, I disagree with you about your comments regarding healthcare in the U.S. I was always covered, luckily, though my job there so I really don't know the specifics other than to say costs are exhorbitant there for healthcare and premiums quite high...

    Why all the smoke in the air?

    I REALLY wonder what goes through some peoples minds. "Once in a lifetime experience" and "enjoy it will it lasts". What does that all mean? The whole world is screwed up these days in one way or another. But the true fact is......The current President(a) cannot govern. Period. I have...

    Supermarket inflation

    No Sergio, you are not crazy. You are absolutely correct about the prices. I have lived here for five years and food prices have skyrocketed for crappy quality, half-filled boxes and often stale. As far as local vegetable markets go....I live in Recoleta. The other day one of the few...

    Residency in Argentina

    Let's all get something straight once and for all..... I too, had been told repeatedly that as a foreigner, I would be penalized when I sold my apartment. I do not know how this lie or myth was built but everyone believes the same thing.Truth is...I just spoke to an Argentine Accountant, very...

    American Expats in BA - Look at the Bright Side

    Dudester-EVERYTHING you said is completely accurate except you failed to mention that Bush should be sent to The Hague, along with Rumsfield and Cheney and put on trial for crimes against humanity like Miloslevic(?)..... Go OBAMA!!

    U.S..Citizens - why did you move to Buenos Aires?

    Ditto Johnny. You are accurate. Ries: I don't know what world you are living in but enjoy it. I was stating consistent behavior here that I and others I know, including Argentines, have dealt with for five years. You must constantly be on your guard here for being cheated.I am from...

    U.S..Citizens - why did you move to Buenos Aires?

    Dudester-I do not believe there ever was a "honeymoon" period between Argentines and expats and particularly Americans. In years past (say 1900-1950), Argentines viewed the U.S. as global competition. Well reality hit on that and now they view Chileans and Brazilians with disdain because their...
