    Rule of thumb: don't rent unless they allow you to see the apartment first.

    Bank & ATM TOTAL FEE = 48 pesos ??!?!

    Doesn't matter. They ultimately need a signed document so it doesn't matter where you are coming from regarding ISP. You need a US PHYSICAL mailing address. The process with Schwab is very easy. But it does require that mailing address. I got my card and it's a godsend. It doesn't matter how...

    Protein Supplements

    There are a number of places to find different protein powders. I'm sorry that I don't have the names of the place, but can tell you the address. One place where I've bought whey protein powder was at a place in Palermo Hollywood at the corner of Santa Fe/Fitz Roy/Campos. They have a few...

    Graffiti

    First step for everyone is separating the terms used. Graffiti is just the senseless tags you see everywhere, the Miguel heart Josafina garbage, and the poor attempts at political commentary via an amateur scribble devoid of creativity. that's all graffiti. What you are referring to is "street...

    Canada vs US (for duel citizens)

    I concur. As an American, I can complain about plenty with the country. And others can throw around stats. But it all depends on who you are and where you are at with your life. If you're struggling by some standards, than Canada is a better option. But if you fall into what would be middle...

    What is your Favorite Argentine Food?

    Lots of good options. But I think there are two things that are huge improvements over the same available in other countries: bife y helado. You can good a good steak in many countries. But the quality of the beef here is superb...we're talking generations of cattle eatin' grass. And the helado...

    Quick SENASA Question: USA to BA

    Hi there! I'm traveling in the US right now and headed back to BA in a few days. I have done a number of USA to BA trips and vice versa over the past year with my dog. My question is this: has anyone come to BA with a USDA certified APHIS 7001 form that was older than 10 days? I usually...

    Bring cats back to the UK - Micro Chipping Pets

    And for many countries it's the same ease. It's actually an interesting topic. It's "Easy" but still more work than a person has to do for themselves, their children, etc. How often have we been on flights with a sick person sitting next to us, or sick kids. Depending on the places you visit...

    Bring cats back to the UK - Micro Chipping Pets

    No. The dreadful process is primarily isolated to island based countries with quarantines (rabies). The US is easy. Goto a vet in Argentina and get 2 certificates (1 general health, 1 for proof of being parasite free). Then head to SENASA with both docs, rabies vaccination certificate, and a...

    Why expats doesnt like get in love or get an argie partner?

    I think the initial question might be more of a cultural interpretation. Coming from the United States and living in big cities there over my life, I've been part of a culture where people casually date for many years and primarily look to "settle down" at a later age like late 30's early...

    Flew them years ago from Santiago to BA to Santiago. Was my first trip to South America and my spanish was limited. But they were helpful and understood when I was trying to get on an earlier flight than mine and handled everything for me. Was actually an easier transition than I've had with...

    GNC Like Store?

    For supplements, you'll find most of the same but on a smaller scale, at many places in Barrio Chino. Also at most Diatecas. If you're looking for things beyond vitamins, etc, like a place specializing in proteins, etc, for working out, I know a few places. There's a place, don't know the name...

    GNC Like Store?

    It's a few factors: 1) while the US ranks up there with places like the UK in obesity, the statistics encompass the entire society. What actually lowers the figures a bit are the percentage at the top that go above and beyond in keeping a proper diet...which includes various supplements to add...
