I haven't bought it lately but have usually found it in the Chinese grocery in the 2100 block of Arribeños in Chinatown and in a verduleria in the Recoleta arcade in the 1500 block of Rodriguez Peña. In the verduleria you have to ask for it. It is called eneldo.

I rented an apartment from Buenos Aires Stay, his company in 2008. I didn't much like the apartment, but I blamed my poor choice via the internet rather than the company. In fact, I don't remember much about my dealings with them, which suggests that they were uneventful. If there had been a...

Saw a t-shirt the other day that said Operated Perfection. I wondered if it were an ad for a plastic surgeon.

Matiasba, if you paid for the full year in one payment last January, the amount of that payment already included the discount for paying promptly. So instead of getting the discount this year, you already got it last year. The amount for Cuota 13 is less than the total of the 12 monthly cuotas.

I was thinking of the asset tax, not the income tax. My thought was that if I am planning to be out of the country more than 90 days every year, then that breaks the chain of residency if I only have a temporary visa. Taking permanent residency would definitely put my domicile here and...

I will be eligible this week for permanent residency after three years of visas for temporary residency. But looking at the tax laws, I am thinking it might be better to stay a temporary resident, to avoid taxes on worldwide assets. I am planning to split my time half and half between here and...

I am neither a lawyer nor an accountant but it looks like (proper use of italics??) the two documents below, when read together, say that residents, whether Argentinean citizens or not, are supposed to pay the taxes on worldwide assets. The first one, cited above by John.St, seems to say that...

I was five years old, the youngest and only girl among five cousins. One of my maiden aunts --also in Alabama -- was a professional seamstress. She didn’t have much money, but she would go to the most expensive store in Montgomery and buy the most elegant child’s outfit she could find. She...

You are right. I did already have a DNI number and was getting it renewed. As I recall, I had a piece of paper, a receipt from the application that had a number on it, and they used that to check on the progress. In any event, I hope yours come through soon.

P.S. Bradly, What a BUMMER!

When I applied about 8 months ago for a new DNI, I did it at Hipólito Yrigoyen 952. They gave me a piece of paper that said that it if didn't come in 30 days to go to Jujuy 468. Eventually mine did show up in the mail, after about 70 days. But I went twice to Jujuy looking for it. In both...

Hola Fettucini, Here is the webpage from Migraciones with the info you need. It says you do need a turn in advance and says to click the link to get one. As I recall, that is what I did. http://www.migraciones.gov.ar/accesibleingles/?dni_extranjeros ​I just clicked through it up to the...

Yes, you do need a new DNI, but it doesn't come automatically. You have to apply for it. As I recall, when I did it in March, I had to ask for a turn online just to make the application. The wait for appointment was several weeks. Then, after I filed the application, they said I would get the...

There are two issues here. One is buying tickets at the "resident" fare for nonresidents, and the other is using cash to pay for the tickets. I don't know about the first one. It is a risk, but it appears to be one that often pays off. As for paying in cash pesos, regardless of which fare...

FWIW I have an eye doctor that I like okay and sort of trust. My prescription is somewhat complicated with an astigmatism correction. She told me that there were only two labs in Buenos Aires that she would trust to make my lenses correctly. One was in the 200 block of Ayacucho. I can't...

http://www.olivaquetec.com.ar My palate for olive oil is not all that refined, but these guys have a store on Riobamba between Corrientes and Lavalle, and we buy from them all the time.

Does anyone here have experience with medical treatment for spider veins in legs and ankles? What kind of treatment works best, laser or injections? Any good doctors? Does insurance, specifically Medicus, cover it? Is this something I should do in the U.S. or in Argentina? Any info greatly...

We are "adult" travellers and in the past 18 months, have done all three of the trips mentioned above. I would recommend El Calafate and the glaciers or Iguazu ahead of Salta/Cafayate/Tilcara, etc. My favorite was Calafate. We were there in late March and it was fine. People over 64 aren't...

I understand that teeth cleaning in Argentina isn't as routine as it is in the U.S. Still, when I went to Dr.Cantarini, he did a rather cursory cleaning of the bottom teeth but sent me for a panoramic xray before doing the top ones. When I went back to get the top ones done, he declared that I...

Doña Clara is a madhouse on Saturdays. Go a different day if possible.
