Thanks for the replies. Ailujjj - I'd really appreciate if you sent me the name of the agency you used. Soleta - I'll look around for that when I get back to BA in August! If you see it before than I'd love to know the name. I had pretty much ruled out consulting the traditional real estate...

Hi, I'm currently looking for a furnished apartment to rent starting in August for 6-12 months, and am having some difficulty. I've been looking at several temporary rental sites, including some that rent directly from the owners, and besides the super expensive ones they all look the same to...

Could someone clarify how you get an FBI criminal records check apostilled? And also, when it is necessary. I looked at the FAQ section on the FBI site linked earlier on this thread. It seems like they can "authenticate" the document if requested, but you have to send it into the State...

What I don't understand and would appreciate knowing, is why isn't everything collapsing with the high inflation rate? I'm not an economist, but it seems like if wages are not even close to keeping up with inflation than people aren't going to be able to afford rent or food etc. While the...

Hi, I will be arriving in Buenos Aires in a couple months and would like to reserve a place to stay for the first week or two while I'm looking for more permanent housing. Does anyone have any recommendations for a hotel/hostel that is nice but simple, and fairly inexpensive (USD$20-40/day)...

Does anyone know more information about this company, or know anyone that has worked for them? It seems like they're always hiring. Their website is so general that it makes me a little suspicious. I guess it couldn't hurt to contact them.

Thank you very much for your posts. They were extremely helpful! To clear up a couple things. 1) I plan on taking my classes in Spanish. I speak it fluently. 2) Luckily I'm not trying to register for the semester that just started so I have a little bit of time to prepare. I just want to...

Hello, I would like to register for a class or two at the UBA. I do not want to earn a degree, simply take a few classes for enjoyment. Has anyone sucesfully enrolled? It is not clear to me what documents are required for registration since various UBA and Argentine government websites...

Hi, I'm interested in taking a course at UBA and am having trouble finding the information I'm looking for on their website. I have a college degree from the US, but would like to take a class or two just for fun at UBA. I speak fluent Spanish so that's not a big issue. I was most...

Taking classes is a great idea that I hadn't thought of. I was just looking at the UBA site and saw some interesting looking courses. Doesn't look too hard to register either.

I completely agree that Colombia and Argentina are worlds apart. Colombia being more stereotypical Latin America with its music, food, culture, heritage; and Argentina more European and arguably having a national identity crisis. I appreciate your simple but valid question of what I'm...

Thanks for all the comments and advice. I was a little surprised that so many of you brought up differences in the people's attitudes, and were quite negative towards Argentina. I was expecting more people to bring up security and quality of life issues. This is very helpful, though like some...

Hi, I lived in Buenos Aires for about a year and a half in 2007/2008 and am now considering either moving back to BA or possibly to Bogota or Medellin Colombia. I have never been to Colombia, but I have read a lot about it, and it sounds like it could a fantastic place to live for a while...

Hi everyone, I'm hoping I'll get honest answers for my question which is a little strange I know. Could you tell me how sex with Argentine women is different than with women from the U.S. or other parts of the world? Do they have different expectations or preferences? In general I feel like...
