    Medical care : US vs Argentina

    It is pretty tough to find out. I had an experience here with having a serious adverse reaction to a generic medication because of the inactive ingredients it contained - not the drug per se but the fillers etc. in the formulation. It was a topical medication. Many people here stick with the...

    Traveling within the country without your passport?

    Steve, I think that as I am on a work visa, I need documentation from them. They said that it wasn't necessary to get one, and at this point, I'm leaving so soon that it would be pointless. If I had known early on what I know now, though, I would have certainly done it.

    Traveling within the country without your passport?

    Yes I think the way to go is to get a notarized copy. I have temporary residence in the form of a work visa which is a sticker in my passport. I would guess I need to take it to the US Embassy and get it copied and each page notarized or something, then carry that with my driver's license or...

    Is it normal? Bank Transfers

    I think it is odd that they are asking for payment that far in advance. There are many Spanish schools and spanish teachers here in the city. I would choose a different one.

    Traveling within the country without your passport?

    They will accept a copy of my passport then as ID to show I am a resident when, for example, I have booked a resident priced flight from BUE to Mendoza or such? Would be great if someone has first hand experience on this - I don't want to be caught in a bad situation. Has anyone flown...

    Traveling within the country without your passport?

    Anyone able to answer this one...? My work is sending me from a work assignment here in Argentina to a work assignment in the UK. To do this, I'd have to send off my USA passport for 20 working days or so to receive the UK visa. Can I travel around the country internally with a copy of that...

    Medical care : US vs Argentina

    Many medications are approved first in the US or Europe and get to this market a little later. Also, the quality of generic medications here is not always equivalent to the quality of generics in the US. If your treatment involved a new medicine, it might not have been on the market here yet...

    The Next Currency Crisis-Any predictions?

    If any of you are interested in a great book on the crisis that might help you understand a lot about the Argentine economy, I have to recommend this book that I just read. And the Money Kept Rolling In (and Out): Wall Street, the IMF, and the Bankrupting of Argentina...

    Crime in BsAs - anyone?

    I really have to comment here, especially after seeing the post that someone was pickpocketed 3 times on Subte D. I have lived in a number of big cities before coming to BA (Washington DC, London, San Francisco, Brussels, Paris, Philadelphia, Atlanta) and traveled all over the place. The only...

    Expat wine group?

    Internet woes - need a nerd :)

    I am just watching directly on my PC, I don't know about those other things you mention, but I do have an internet radio that can get Pandora if it connects to the VPN broadcast from the second router.
