    Register electronics at EZE

    I always register anything new or newish, the form lasts a couple of years worth of travel. Otherwise you can get stung for import duty, if you are a temporary or permanent resident.... same goes for crossing land borders. No receipts are required... they just note the model and serial...

    Argentine films ( The best )

    I agree the music of Assination Tango was excellent and some scenes were good but overall it was completely unbelievable . ................ I hope someone at least liked the authentic (real) background sounds of Buenos Aires which I recorded for that film, and were not your usual stolen...

    Leaving for the Amazon help needed

    Just so you all know.... there is no route from the Amazon to Guyana... this guy may be a hoaxer or missing some players on the pitch.

    Leaving for the Amazon help needed

    They are not commonly sold in Buenos Aires and only by prescription *receta* and there are warnings on the web about false and dodgey malaria tablets on sale. You are better off buying them in a major city in Brazil. Just out of curiosity what is your planned route? Are you looking for something...

    Soccer Fan has arrived

    If I didn't have much experience of going to football in Argentina and was in Bs As this weekend wanting to go to a match, first I would not go to a night game.'Looking at the fixture then for Primera and Nacional B, I would choose Huracan vs Quilmes at 16:00 on Saturday. It's a good venue, they...

    Soccer Fan has arrived

    In Cap Fed and GBA it makes a huge difference towards your enjoyment of the match as to the type and size of stadium and behaviour/ atmosphere with the fans, and how the police behave outside with the organisation, beside going to a decent match. Best fans and stadium for me is Racing Club at...

    Skoal chewing tobacco

    Hi, yes chewing tobacco does exist in Argentina. I have only seen a few users in Salta and Formosa. I was working with a guy in Salta who used it and tried some, wish I hadn't ! I've also seen it in Brazil but can't remember where.

    Sushi shortage

    Was thinking of going down to Chinatown and buying up a whole load of stuff that I know won't be on their shelves much longer.... sauces, noodles, basmati rice etc. Can't say I'm a major fan of sushi although my wife is, and to be honest it burns quite a large hole in my pocket.

    Isenbeck Beer Festival

    Isenbeck is one of the worst tasting beers, out of the regulars that you find all over Argentina imho.

    transering $ abroad from apt sale

    many property transactions between Argentines are done in cash. I would even go as far to say most do, but someone may need to correct me. In your case it's worth that risk and gain I would say. I would do it that way and just take it with you.

    So I got jipped today--Bienvenidos a Argentina, I guess

    You weren't scammed at all, you paid the correct price (you blamed the Argies) and I just pointed out that there are very serious scams and robberies here (not 20 pesos) where you can suffer or (as you pointed out in your more recent thread today) die, which I thought was more important than...

    Hi Brooklyn, the type of meat you should buy for the matambre is erhhhhm called matambre. It is NOT flank steak (vacio) or bondiola which is a cut of pork as you pointed out.
