    Importing Car Part

    Yes,we are looking into all kinds of solutions. Including buying a second car. Having a 17 year old defender as the only car might not be such a good idea. Luckily we enjoy walking...

    Importing Car Part

    Our darling Defender 'Ernst' needs a new turbo and we are looking at having one sent from the UK or bring it back with us in the luggage when we go visit Sweden. We will also look into going to Osorno to have it replaced, but it's a long trip when you can't drive more than 50 km per hour. My...

    Not So Friendly Flying Wednesday May 4

    Thanks, I also have a flight scheduled tomorrow... I haven't had any information though. I'm brining "Crime and Punishment" to keep me occupied.

    Argentina Holiday Destinations June

    June is tricky in Villa la Angostura. There may not be enough snow for skiing, but too much for the longer hikes. Too cold for kayaking comfortably. Then again it could be lovely.

    I Want To Divorce My Abusive Argentina Wife, But Stay Here!

    My neighbor is a social assistant. Granted in the "wrong" province but if you want to be put in touch with her let me know. She should be able to tell what's what when it comes to that side at least. I don't know any family law lawyers.

    Long Vacation To Argentina?

    I'm going to keep promoting Villa la Angostura. Basically like San Martin de los Andes, but smaller. I like it small, so it suits us. Some people may get cabin fever here, that depends on what sort of a budget one is on.

    Robbed In Epuyen, Theives Caught Then Released, Even Though

    A group of four people robbed my mother in law here in Villa about a month ago. They didn't have a gun, but it doesn't really matter they were threatening her with violence anyway. She rents out rooms to tourists and they told her that they had been "told" she had a lot of money in the house...

    Thoughts On Year In El Bolson, Bariloche, Or San Martin?

    Buying a car here is more expensive. Although I don't know how much... The far end of Bariloche is greener and less windy. The Llao Llao side. If you aren't going to have a car I would choose San Martin de los Andes and find a house in the centre. The centre is a tidy grid, with lots of...

    Immagration To Rio Negro, Bariloche

    Hi Matthew's wife :-), I'm sorry for the late response, I was waiting for a good time to sit down and respond properly. That moment didn't come until now. I feel very safe here, crime has gone up a bit the last couple of years but we haven't seen any of it. A few weeks ago they arrested two...

    Immagration To Rio Negro, Bariloche

    I did my papers in Buenos Aires as we were living there at the time, with little Spanish and no help. But, with lots at patience and making a point of not going until I understood what to do I figured it out. I still don't know how! If you have the possibility of doing it here in Bariloche do...

    Obama Cuba/buenos Aires....!

    The local online paper claimed that Michele wanted to spend the long weekend here in Villa la Angostura with Macri and family. We have had an influx of Americans the last two weeks and they probably decided that it wasn't safe enough. Vast forrests, open lakes and plenty of tourists isn't the...

    Disability Carer Looking For Work

    Hi LeahLeah1, I'm sorry to say that I don't have any leads for you, the best of luck though. I just had to write because the way you framed you information reminded me so much of my time at QUT studying primary education. When you have residency get in touch with the private schools as well...

    Electric Meter: 2 Readings?

    Is it a left over feature from when they had different prices for day and night? Does the bill show any difference in price per kWh?

    Getting Married - Facing Immigration Problems (Advise Sought)

    We had one of those interviews in Sweden when we had lived together for two years. I still don't know how we passed it since my partner is hopeless with dates, years and time in general. The officer probably thought that if we were a couple of convenience we would have prepared our story better!

    Attention Old People :> 60 Yo

    I feel like I must jump in in defense of the idea of giving special treatment to some people. Having been pregnant three times I adore that I was able to take advantage of it when I needed to. I did not abuse it, and agree that it is anoying when people do. It would make me very embarrassed when...

    Taking Argentine Wife For Uk Visit

    I'm probably going to Sweden in July with my husband and three kids. The kids I'm not worried about, two have Swedish citizenship and the third is entitled to it by birthright but we haven't applied for it yet. My husband has Italian citizenship but doesn't have a valid passport, so he will...

    Bariloche Ex-Pats?

    There is a closed Facebook group "Expats in Bariloche & friends". It's not hopping, but they seem to meet up every once I a while. I'm in Villa la Angostura, but if you are coming this way I'll be glad to have a coffee with you. PM me.
