    Official Dollars Anyone?

    Yes, I was able to buy the equivalent of 20% of my salary exactly a week ago. I chose not to leave it in the bank. I heard (from someone who said they read it) that only 7% of people were choosing to leave the money in the bank for a year (meaning they didn't get taxed the extra 20%). Simple and...

    Ayuda Familiar

    Metropolis has been EXTREMELY quick at answering mails. Such a welcomed shock. My question was quickly answered. No, the 20% does NOT apply to Ayuda Familiar. If anyone wants to know what they ask for, conditions, etc. you can PM me.

    New Online Purchasing Laws

    I also wait and wonder...what will it take for them (or us? Since I am part of them by now) to retaliate? What does it really take? I know this has been asked time and time again on this forum, but it will forever be the one thing I can't understand about the citizens of this country. Day after...

    Ayuda Familiar

    As if everything makes so much sense. Have you done a transaction recently? I think it's a legit question since they now tack on the 35% when buying "tourist" dollars. If anyone can vouch from experience in the past month or so, that would be great. Thank you.

    How Much To Charge For Private English Lessons???

    I taught English privately for 6 years and quickly searching my emails, I was charging $80 per hour 2 years ago. I would most likely be charging around what Flay said if I went back to teaching tomorrow.

    Medical coverage when you leave Argentina

    That's nice to know. I used them, too, but never had to file any claims. I use AssistCard now because it's an included benefit with my credit card. In the future I'll know I have to get in touch!

    Medical coverage when you leave Argentina

    Interesting. Thanks for your answers, lacoqueta & ceviche. I'm guessing this is going to turn into a live and learn situation. It never occurred to me to call. I just thought you sent them the bill afterwards. Oops. I did call AssistCard yesterday, and the guy was really helpful and asked me if...

    I understand the annoyance b/c I have dealt with the same wandering pedestrians for years, but I lean more towards Mano Negra's attitude that if you're in such a hurry, that's your problem, not theirs. I naturally walk really fast, and I weave in and out of people all day long, but it's not...
