I think my favorite one is when you die your property goes to your family, even if you have a will and want to give your property to someone else.

True RichG, but the US forgets those things. Not the whole country but some places. I have learned by living in BA that life goes on and you need to enjoy everyday. When I head back to the states to visit family, they can't believe my lack/rush to hurry things in life. Es asi.

They have 6 and 8 seater vehicles here, but they are not the Yukon size. You can rent some vans to go in the country. Your Yukon will not fit on some of the streets. It diffidently won't fit in some garages.

You guys need to talk..Same thing happened to us. I was the one who was upset, because when you are used to working all the time and then to "do nothing" it is a shock. If this is your first time to live overseas than you have the additional stress and "cultural shock". Plan a weekend away...

I know of a couple of expats but they have lived here over five years. My Argentina friends are all about the election. Some of them will be out of the country, so they say they won't have a chance to vote.

So, how many expats and residents will vote tomorrow? It should be an interesting ride. I wonder if Argentina will have a count down to vote count like the US. http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/americas/06/27/argentina.election/index.html

Welcome. I think the alien experience is interesting. I sometimes feel like I have no home country. When I got back to the States I walk the grocery stores and feel overwhelmed. Why type of photos do you like to shoot?

I'm with 37 and HDM. I do the 90 thing 180, 290, ect..sometimes if there is no line I do the 80 or 90 withdrawal like 7 or 8 times until I get my 1000 pesos limit.

I came here with a master in science plus a teaching degree, got a job at a private college. I made a local salary of $4,000 pesos a month, of course I got the extra 13th salary. That salary along with living with a roommate or lover could keep you for awhile. As long as you budget.

Don't forget some Mexican immigrants..for some good food. I keep telling my fellow students that Argentina is much better than Mexico and they can get better health care.

We have bought two cars while here. You need a copy of a rental address or dead. Your passport number or DNI, you pay cash. You get a green card and blue card with the registration. You pay ABL taxes every quarter on the car. The hardest part is getting the money into the country for the...

I agree with Pericles about Brazilian Real, gold, and companies that produce natural resources and of course as my 81 Nana says, guns and food :)
