I was going to say more or less the same as, @Ries but also to ask a bit more of the OP: for instance are you looking at a particular project with a particular building in mind? Are you thinking of a redundant factory or warehouse rather than converting an office? Or are you just thinking in the...

From a drinking water perspective, the city extracts water midstream from a plant offshore to Ciudad Universitaria which is in the north of the city and this spill is affecting the Rio de la Plata downstream in the south. That's not to minimise the pollution issue but getting the authorities in...

I'd just suggest to be very careful to check the credentials of anybody you hire to do demolition work; whether or not you are in the role of employer or if you are hiring a company, what insurance they carry etc etc. You could end up responsible if somebody else's structural integrity, gas...

Are you channeling Voltaire? Are we now living the best of all possible lives under the best of all possible governments in this, the best of all possible worlds?

Do you live anywhere near London Plane trees? Usually big with peeling bark. Their seeds often irritate.

As a US citizen, technically you are part of the visa waver programme and don't need a visa. You may enter for 90 days, renewable for another 90 days.

Just wondering, Red, whether you've done a sort of cost benefit analysis - both social and financial - of living elsewhere in Argentina? For me it's my relationships that keep me in the capital but many expats seem to be thriving in the provinces

Exactly. It's just an idiomatic expression in British English. We have plenty more like that!

Hello! I am not a lawyer and I'm not even an American but I'm acquainted with Argentines who provide services to US companies perfectly legally but not as employees of the US firm but as overseas contractors. i suspect that if your relative looks at the small print, it's not a job offer but an...
