    For those thinking of coming

    We've only been here 1 & 1/2 years. We are in Bariloche though. I remember my husband always complaining about how expensive the grocery's were in the States. He was always saying how great it was to live in Argentina. But he was away from here for 12 years. Now he has days he thinks his own...

    Paying utility bills with a non Argentine credit card.

    I pay for both my Personnel & Movistar acounts with my US credit card. They bill it automatically. We pay our electric bill with cash though & we attempted to pay Direct TV with the credit card but they were retards & ended up charging us $800 to the card that they say they don't know how to...

    I haven't tried all of them, but on Mitre they are all close together & some of them give out samples.

    Lasik recommendations?

    I had my eyes done 8 years ago by Goyo Plagos. His office is on Maipu in Olivos. He is a friend of my husband's family & from what I have heard one of the best doctors. He has done everones eyes in my husbands family who needed it & no one has any problems.

    Shipping to Buenos Aires

    but they will open it up & see it's not books. If it doesn't have a tag on it they make up a pric for it. With the last box I got it had about 20 pieces of new clothes that my mother got on clearance from between $2-$5. They didn't bother to look at all the tags. She looked at 1 that saw $5 &...

    Shipping to Buenos Aires

    I have had 4 pairs of shoes with the tags still on them & brand new clothes shipped here and wasn't even charged a dime for taxes. I'm sure I was lucky, but I have been sent 6 boxes & never had a single problem.

    Easter Bunny

    I haven't found anything for easter other than really expensive chocolate eggs. I miss my cheap easter of buy plastics eggs & a few bags of candy. I ended up buying chocolate eggs, found some baskets ( not easter) & some material to wrap them up in. Best I could do in Bariloche. You'll probably...

    My FBI Background Check Experience

    I am soooo glad I'm not the only 1. I've done 2 already. The first one got lost in the mail when I sent it to be apostilled ( I don't remember seeing a seal on it though, so it was probably wrong too) & the 2nd one came back without a seal too. WHat else can you do besides write in really large...

    Searching for places to live with kids in BA

    It definitely depends on where you will be working. My mother in law lives in Recoletta & everytime we visit her the chaos of being downtown drives me crazy. MY husband grew up in San Isidro & it is very nice. We have family & friends in Olivos, Tigre, Martinez...just depends on what kind of...

    Flight/residence question!

    I just flew on Aerolineas this week on the lower rate. They asked for my ID when I checked in. Showed them my passport which has nothing it it about being a resident & they didn't say a thing. But others have had problems. Maybe it was luck.

    Aerolineas Argentina

    I flew with them this week from Bariloche to BA & have vowed to never fly them again. My return flight was cancelled at 9pm after making everyone wait 5 hours & lying about what the problem was & yelling at people. Totally unprofessional. What I really felt bad about was the tourists who at 9pm...

    Filing taxes

    I was asking because Turbo Tax calculating it as if I lived in the States still, was giving me a wonderful refund (more than what I paid in taxes) so I was just afraid if I do it as foreign income the amount might change for the worst. I really have no idea because this is the first time it's...

    Filing taxes

    Filing taxes

    I really did search for this & couldn't find anything. Does anyone know if you live here but get paid from the US if you file your taxes normally or if you still have to fill out at foreign income form. My check is depostied into my US bank account so I don't really consider it foreign. I'm in...
