    Advice On Schools

    It has been covered before and the one school that came out on top seemed to be Belgrano Day School. Not as pricey as Lincoln. Lincoln follows the USA school year though. The others don't. Try to find a house fairly close to whatever school you chose. The transport times can be brutal in Buenos...

    Child Dies: Heavy Metal Poisoning

    Just the ones within the schedule, from birth to 16 years of age. For adults there are campaigns from time to time, like the flu and hep B. I had those two shots this year on a temporary residency. I got the Hep B shot after my brother in law and his wife were hospitalized with severe liver...

    Argentina: A Paradise For Retirees?

    I jump at the use of YOU all the time. In my native language it is never used unless about the other person in the conversation. One has to learn how to interpret a language in all its nuances. It's a lifetime work.

    The Pill

    You will most likely get a more concrete answer from one of the women living in Buenos Aires (I don't), but I can give you a brand name to look for. I have always gotten a prescription for mine so that I can claim it on my health insurence. In my small town we have seven pharmacies and they...

    You Know You're Living In A 3Rd World Country When...

    The people on the top of the riches scale that would have to share their wealth for the good of the society. Sweden voted against the socialists the last couple of elections, but they voted them back in again this year. Unfortunately the third largest party in Sweden today is a semi socialist...

    Temporary Rental Contract Advice

    Maybe you can ask her to amend it to say that she (or the community group in the building) has to approve the stay of a family member or friend. That would mean that you would have to supply her or the group with a name and time period in advance. To the community group it would have to be at...

    Argentina Or Venezuela

    We have that feeling the 1st and 15th of every month during the summer. The tourists come and stock up for their 15 day stay. The locals know better than to go shopping those days. Really we love the tourists and their money (that's what we all live from in the end), but when March comes around...

    You Know You're Living In A 3Rd World Country When...

    I'm not going to try to turn you away from your anti-socialist standpoint. I have rewritten this sentence so many time trying to arrive to a sentence that sound balanced and open minded, but really is boils down to me being offended that you think that all socialists are poor people that blame...

    You Know You're Living In A 3Rd World Country When...

    Pensador, even though I agree with your argument that the soccer watching slacker can't blame the hardworking mansion owner for his lack of riches I take SERIOUS ISSUE with you labeling him as socialist. Socialist, feminist and other ists are not ugly words that you should call other people to...

    Flat Hunting For Three Year Stay

    Does anyone on the forum have their company as guarantor? Will the realtor accept that? I tried to search it on the forum, but I could find anything. Maybe I'm just not very adept at forming search phrases...

    You Know You're Living In A 3Rd World Country When...

    So then, maybe it is time to define "domestic employee". Do you mean that a single person, or a child free couple has someone who comes in to clean their apartment once a week? Or maybe the family with three children and two working parents who has a child minder in the afternoon when the kids...

    Exchanging Dollars Outside Of Buenos Aires

    There are cuevas in Bariloche, so I assume that if you go to a similar size city there will be cuevas in the more touristic areas. You will receive a lower rate than La Nacion publishes, if that is lower than what you accually get on the street in BsAs I don't know. You will not be able to trade...

    Folding A Fitted Sheet

    A genuine online Nonna! Don't we all need one of those sometimes. Ceviche, I started to care when I was put in charge of renting out my parents house here in Villa and there were paying guests seeing it. Before that I simply flattened them out the best I could.

    Folding A Fitted Sheet

    Most of you probably already know how to fold a fitted sheet, but I grew up in Sweden and had never seen one until I moved abroad. Still it took me 12 years of swearing about the stupidly bulky mess I ended up with on my linen shelf. This video explains it nicely at a speed that even I can...

    Anyone Selling A Drill?

    Still not a good answer to the question. My drill has a switch so that I can choose hammer or not action. If I try to drill in wood with hammer action it does not go very well. If the drill doesn't have a switch the question stands. Does it recognize when hammer action is needed or is it always...

    Getting My Papers Ready For Permanent Residency - A Recap

    I think MDZ is right. My birth certificate got stolen during the process so I had to order a new one from Sweden that arrived without an apostilla. In the end it had the translation, the certification of the translation and the certification from Foreign Affairs attached to it and Migraciones...

    Getting My Papers Ready For Permanent Residency - A Recap

    I went to have a look at the Copy of the Partita de Matrimoni that I got out for my paperwork in 2007. There is a stamp of someone with MDZs description. Maybe the registry where MDZ got his didn't have an official with that capacity on staff and that is why he had to go elsewhere for that...

    In Buenos Aires Now Enjoying The Lovely Weather :)

    It happend to me as well. My husband says it's because of the way I move, but he can't be more specific than that. He also says that I will always be spotted as a foreigner even before I open my mouth.

    What Does The Stamp Say? Migraciones & Perm. Residency

    When I did it seven years ago I didn't get a stamp, just a paper. That paper I later left at my parents place in Sweden on our return trip and Air France wouldn't let me back on the flight. My parents had to fax it through to the office in Paris for us to be allowed to enter the plane. At...
