I guess you didn't see the Economist cover story a few years back on 100 years of decline in Argentina.

Weird, but good to know. Thanks!!!

Did you pay at the airport with a US card?

I did not know that. I have not been by there for a few weeks.

Pago Facil, corner of Santa Fe and Ayacucho.

A few months back I tried purchasing movie tickets with a US credit card online and wasn't able to. Before that I'd had no problem doing it. Seems there's been some talk on the forum about business that stop accepting US credit cards, or maybe any credit card from abroad.

I wasn't going to mention this initially but my addicted friend is Argentine and my friend who works and studies medicine is Venezuelan. I do think that too many Argentines have gotten too used to free stuff from the state.

A few years back I had an friend here (a drug addict that was constantly in and out of rehab paid for by the State and private organizations) who was receiving just about as much for his disability (addiction) from the feds and the city as much as another friend who worked six days week in a...

Not always that easy. I have a friend (not an expat) who was harassed and followed more than once by someone he'd given money to. The police are not always nearby, and even if they were, that wouldn't necessarily be much of a deterrent, because they know the police won't do much, if anything...

I had the same sort of problems.

I love all the insults. No need to talk about issues when you can just insult personally. Really raises the level of the conversation. Good work. And one person here who was complaining about the meaningless political bickering and insulting on the forum gave a like to a post that was doing...

I think the old Hotel Eden in la Falda and the Jesuit Estancias of Jesus Maria and Santa Catalina are also worth a visit.

Eight years ago I found it much easier to do it through the Argentine consulate in Atlanta, but things may have changed in general, and I don't know if all consulates would be as helpful as ours was.

Of course I don't know legally what your wife must do, but on the face of it, it sounds absurd that she be required to pay personally the missing paycheck. Isn't there a way for them to check and see that money never left the college's account and for her to simply resubmit the parole...

Thanks a lot. I never got an error message, it simply would not fill in the space, so to speak, with "family support" and let me continue. I was using the website on my phone but will try next time on my tablet, or I will do as you suggest and call CS and get them to elevate it to the technical...

Today I tried to do a US bank to Arg bank transfer using the WU website and everytime I got to purpose of transfer, family support appeared as the only option, but it would never take it and I was not able to finish. Could this be because I was in the States recently, changed my country to US...

Oh, how I pine for those days when the kirchneristas were printing money hand over fist and we had over 200 inflation. May they return; that was so sustainable.

And aren't they supposed to be one of the countries with the happiest populations?
