Ok, just to get things back on track..and the OP: It's The Post people, I mean really? Were you expecting Pulitzer Prize winning stuff. For those that don't know...it's the paper that would sooner put Boobs than Brains on the Cover. It sells for 50 cents, and the ink runs all over your...

Where to begin. I think Ryan made the most helpful comment which is CONSISTENCY in whatever you do. If you comb through the comments that is an underlying theme. And it is true like or not, why chains in U.S. work. My concern with your plan, is I would think before you even got into the...

I would believe having a "business account" and being a regular customer makes a big difference. But, I am certain that personal items, (ebay, amazon, etc.) versus business letters and papers is the huge difference. Not much resell value on documents (except maybe passports,IDs, emails about...

Hmmm..that's better news. The Consulate in Atlanta told us specifically that we had to have a "round trip ticket or that they would force us to buy one at the airport". (Not sure who "they" is, I assumed immigration guys that stamp your passport). I would prefer to get 1 way for many reasons...

I am considering this route as well, and was wondering if you have to have a return plane ticket within the 90 day window, or can it be within 180 days and one just has to keep changing with the airline?

Has anyone actually applied for visa rentista (either new or renewal), under these new conditions? I realize the info is just a few days old, but my understanding was the regulations passed a few weeks prior and the "clarification"/dispocision just came out last week. US$2000/month per person...

Lebacs, I think I read, are only open to banks..but now being offered to corporations as well. I think that same Bloomberg article mentioned that cost of credit default swaps went down (meaning less expectation of default), but this changes all the time. Bloomberg also noted that inflation is...

NYC you can't make it out the door and back for less than $40 no matter what you do, unless its go for a jog. (small bottle of water $2). There is always a way in every City to live on the cheap, or live lavish, so it is hard to compare. The experience of a 24 year old in a major city, vs...

Has anyone on the forum worked with/through the Consulate in Atlanta to obtain their visas? If so just curious with your impressions. We are trying to work out our visa rentista issues. I have some specific questions if anyone has any experience with that particular Consulate office...

I agree with HowardBA, I thought the ref did quite a good job handling a rather goonish performance by the Dutch. I think the Dutch took advantage of the fact that it was a World Cup Final and the ref would not whip out Red cards too early. He was also smart to show the yellows early and often...

i've run across a couple of etsy sites that are vendors located in argentina, and they ship their products to the u.s. for not so much money. i was wondering if they use the local argentine postal service ships to the u.s.? has anyone shipped any small packages from b.a. to the u.s.? what...

I am one, but thanks for being so condescending. Why so angry?

If you rent unfurnished/"locals-style" how much does internet and apartment expenses cost a month Also, just for my own edification, what is ABL?

Well, I guess the illegal issue also depends on location and local laws. Just typically in NYC landlords usually ask for "1st and last months rent", and not a separate deposit as well, so I assume this is standard operating procedure, but only in that location. "Squatting" is entirely separate...

As Tango said, I would say that "par for the course" in NYC is last month rent goes unpaid and deposit is retained. Apartments are in such demand, landlords usually are quite content to roll them over to the next tenant, at least in Manhattan. But you should comply with whatever is the...

Well, I don't know if you can say this is "goood ol' American violence" as combat like this has been taking place in Asia for many many years prior to the UFC stuff. And all the combat, its my understanding as I am not a "fan" who watches, is mostly eastern based martial arts combined with...

Ugh, a thorough thrashing!!! Early goal was "unfortunate" and maybe a bit misplayed by the goalie. Defense was totally exposed, and Argentina seemed to panic a little too early on in the Second Half. Game showed Argentina's weakness on D. In the end, as Italy proved last World Cup, Defense...

Did anyone watch the 120 minutes prior to the "last play"? To say that Suarez "cheated" is a gross mis-characterization of the play and Uruguays game. The ball came in from a free kick outside the box, was headed down in the box and then volleyed toward the net. This first attempt was...

That's not hard to believe at all. But a "good life" certainly should include "good maintenance". And based on the number of Men's clothes stores, and the general importance on appearance in Argentina, I would figure that many Portenos would be at the day spa. The rich aren't prettier because...

No suggestions for a Day Spa in BA? That, more than concerns about muggings/petty theft, seems to be the more disconcerting news about BA. Seriously has anyone been to a Day Spa in BA?
