    First It Was Easy Taxi, Now Uber Doa?!

    In this case uber goes above state and the fee they are charging is actually a tax. Calling it a fee doesn't change nothing. They are also not very original, which could justify a bit their high charges. In Europe websites and apps for car sharing existed for decade, most of them were for...

    First It Was Easy Taxi, Now Uber Doa?!

    It's funny, how no one mentions the tax of 20% which uber is taking for every transfer. Theoretically one app will earn 20% of world transfer revenue without any investment, any trouble, nothing. And all goes to USA. I will never use such app, as I also try to avoid booking websites...

    New Electric Bill Arrived: And The Total Is....

    Look bajo, many things here are quite expensive, but energy and transportation are ridiculously cheap. I know you are paying quite a lot, but for 250kwh per month I paid 22 pesos before, now is 50! This is a joke and president doesn't have to be bribed to realize, that the price should go up...

    Cost Of Ownership

    Yes, but for 3000 km per year I guess he is save with old tyres. I doubt this car see any real road... But, you have to be careful, especially when raining, because tyres loose most of good characteristics, they become hard and slip easily. I know, was driving 10 years old shitty tyres and in...

    Questions From American Airlines Rep On Recent Us Visit?

    The least what officer should do is explain, why they need this information. Especially because there is no obvious reason to do that, which isn't the case with travelling documents.

    New Electric Bill Arrived: And The Total Is....

    Sorry to ask, but are you growing cannabis in your basement?? How much kwh are you spending per month? If I calculate your price with my data on the bill, you should use around 7500 kwh per month. Like a small aluminium factory...

    New Electric Bill Arrived: And The Total Is....

    Can you specify the bill a bit more? It's huge change, there has to be explanation. Sure you didn't consume that more, was there a change in the price of kwh? It is weird how different price of electricity is in this country (I'm not saying expensive, although for some actually is on the level...

    Has Anyone Sent Money Into Arg Via Official Means Lately?

    Dólar account is additional (also you pay additional) and can come quite handy. I was not talking about blue, but also official is changing a lot, so you would have more control over it. You can change money in the moment when it's high, over the Internet and how much you want. But again, you...

    Need Data On Argentina

    I can tell you official data: tourism grows every year by 30%, for sure is also true for Italians. Now, this might be inflation, but there is no other data I could get in past. There wasn't for years...

    Anyone Else Sin Luz?!

    @EJLarson Generaly I would agree, but for example in former Yugoslavia we lacked many things, but never ever electricity. And it was completely under communist control. Now we have similar system as mentioned in Houston and Germany and still there aren't any unscheduled blackouts, because...

    Packages Stuck In Customs, In Ba Who Can I Hire

    I understand it's easy to mistake retiro for Stockholm, but even in Sweden I wouldn't mess with customs. As a matter of fact, there isn't country in the world where you can do anything about them, less in Argentina..

    Gps

    You certainly should check, how good your GPS on the phone works (also without data connection). I have two same models phones and one works perfectly, the other rarely and never when I really need. Tried everything and simply can't manage nothing... If it works good, you just need Internet...

    Azimo Bank Transfers

    As glasgowjohn mentioned, most of old threads on sending money are pretty much obsolete or at least we should assume they are. Things changed, there are new ways, some old don't exist or are different. This forum is useful only if it's updated ...

    Anyone Else Sin Luz?!

    Hospital is good bet you won't have long outages, but this can change. In our block they were making some "improvements" and later we realized that all work was just to separate hospital from the rest of us. Now the traffic lights and hospital have electricity when we are without. Argentinian...

    Getting Real Estate Sale Money Out Of The Country Legally?

    I don't find it simple at all. First you have to find someone willing to do that, then you have to trust enough to give money, and at the end you pay the same % as if you send via bank transfer. And as I said, there were changes lately and looks that we will soon be able to send dollars...

    Getting Real Estate Sale Money Out Of The Country Legally?

    Not option I would normally choose, but it (was) impossible to get money out otherwise. However, I found some stuff that might save me, and maybe help someone else too.
