    Shipping Concerns

    As of yet no we don't have permanent residency however we are in the process of getting our DNIs and may be here for the long haul (I think 4+ years = auto permanent). The shipping wasn't a hassle for any of the other Brits who came at the same time as us, the quickest got theirs 2 weeks from...

    Argentina's Sergio "Kün" Agüero becomes a god in Manchester, England

    They've got some pretty severe sanctions just now - I'm thinking they're hoping for a Fergus McCann type of miracle. Of course that means Martin O'Neill, Henrik Larsson and Bobo Baldé or they're equivalents too.

    Shipping Concerns

    I'm not sure how much help this is for you but I'm into month 3 of having my stuff sitting at the docks and not being processed yet to pass into the country proper. I'm thinking you'll arrive and your stuff will also be sitting in the docks until their apparent back-log is caught up with. We...

    Beware of RentingBA (not RentinBA)!

    Might as well supply a link to that TripAdvisor thread. Worst thing about any country? A few of the Ex-Pats. Thankfully they get balanced out by the massive amounts of good spirited Ex-Pats.

    New procedure at EZE, Immigration.

    Gibberish is my mother tongue! I think I was trying to say something about conspiracy theorists (In general, not anyone here). Sorry for any potential confusion.

    New procedure at EZE, Immigration.

    Fee/fun - potato/potatoe People complain wherever they are - and rightly so - I reckon it's not so bad here in BA as some would have you believe.

    New procedure at EZE, Immigration.

    I'm not sure yet Steve - but I'd happily receive any of those not common amongst the populous just to earn a few bucks telling people their new found modern faith!! Nah, in fact I'd burn anyone thinking that they can take advantage of the gullible - just for the fee of watching them burn...

    YPF Nationalized

    Is a small quote for the piece which sums up the direction of it nicely. Silly FT with their registration! If you go to news.google.co.uk and search for Argentina you can get access to the full article from there. The title is "Argentina's oil raid can only end badly‎". Seems you can't link to...

    Bad school

    That's an awful story Thomas - make sure to spread word of it wherever you can. I'd recommend using the 'return' key more often though to break up the text.

    Unlocking an Andriod

    It's questions written like this which makes me think you should buy an iPhone Quirky. Androids are for big boys who use details when asking for assistance.

    YPF Nationalized

    Get a room already you two! I certainly see Karla's point with a democratically appointed government bucking the trend of being in debt to global banks and trying to be self-sustainable with imports and exports being gravy rather than lifeblood. A refreshing outlook on these boards and one I...

    Good bookstores in town?

    Thanks sleslie23 we were just on the lookout yesterday for some book stores! Crackup look good as it means I can have a beer whilst my better half does her perusal of their wares. This will sound childish and for that I have no qualms: Are there any good comic book stores in or around BA...

    Argentine Kobe

    La Cabrera often shows up in tourist written reviews and blogs as selling Kobe beef. I'm not sure if it's the bone fida black Tajima-ushi breed of Wagyū cattle which is fed beer and massaged prior to becoming meat that is genuine Kobe or if it's 'in the style of' Kobe which is much more common...

    Expat Picinic - April 15, noon

    Myself and my wife might pop along for a bit to say hi. No promises though as we'll be a Tartan Day on the Saturday and could be on the Irn-Bru and deep friend comfort food.

    Some advice for a desperate Aussie!

    There's a jobs section on the site here which may be of use to you. Being 21 doesn't give you the gift of experience sadly, but I'm certain that if you start in a position and show your abilities you will rise up to the level which suits you. Perhaps working with a non-profit organisation for a...

    Fuse boxes and how to change fuses

    Thanks for the responses guys! Seems there was a fusebox in the basement of the apartment block. Once the super flipped it back up my house was ablaze with light and Wifi again. First time living in an apartment and (foolishly) didn't expect there to be a dependence on the building itself. At...
