    New York or Miami for shopping

    Being from South Florida.. I despise Miami. I'm from the Ft. Lauderdale area. Sawgrass Mall is a good place to shop. However it is no longer an outlet mall (I worked there) They do have some good outlet stores that I loved to shop at but a lot of the mall is just regualr stores. The last time I...

    one way ticket to BA

    Keep in mind the volcano ruined our last winter season and many hotels are offering discounts to try to get the tourists here. I don't know how easy it would be to find a job at a resort in Bariloche. Many people have been laid off. But try, it is beautiful here.

    FBI Report: What if I haven't resided in any country but Argentina for last 3 years?

    I got my perm. residency without the FBI report. After 2 attempts and the FBI screwing it up twice they said I could just wait for the interpol report to come back instead which was fine with me. But you know..here in Argentina someone else may tell you no to that.

    Patagonia or bust

    I can't help you with anything work related, but I suggest you come visit the area first. When we moved down here we traveled to a few nearby towns to see which one I would be comfortable living in. El Bolson is nice..but for me I don't know if I would last a week there. We chose Bariloche...

    Recommendations on fixing a broken window

    We had to replace the glass in a window about 2x 3 and it cost $17US. So the price shouldn't be too much. I don't know who you could use though because I am not in BA.

    Bariloche Advice

    I live here, but I don't get to do much between working and taking care of 3 young kids. Jez can probably help you with what you can do. As far as what you must eat... I haven't found any really good places yet. I personally think the food in Bariloche is not great at all. I've been to San...

    Barrio Cerrado/Country questions...

    My father in law lives in Pilar and we've stayed there for a month. They had Direct tv and Speedy DSL which was quite fast. I had no problems with it at all. Pilae is great. You still have everything of the city, but not in the craziness of it.

    Car Shipping Advice from US

    How long are you moving here for? Permanently? If so then it may be worth bringing your own car. We brought our motorcycle on a container from Miami. I have to go hunt down the paperwork for the company name. We had no problem with them. I believe we paid $3000. The problem is over here. It took...
