    Cockroaches In Newly Rented Apartment

    Just finished having a cucaracha battle of my own, we are in a big city and summer brings these sorts of issues. Definitely get the syringe gel they sell in the ferreteria.

    This is just a thought, but considering the Argentine banks are cleaning up on foreign ATM cards ($6 USD per transaction) I would guess it may have more to do with your bank? Just speculating.

    Leaving The Country With Kids (And Money)

    Leaving the country as one parent with children you'll need a letter of authorization. Most any escribana can do this for you (mine cost about 1,000$ a few weeks back). I am curious though, does anyone know what happens when you declare more than $10,000?

    How Is Xoom Legal?

    My best guess (I am no legal nor finance expert) is that because they are based out of Uruguay. A company in Uruguay can exchange USD, Euros, Pesos, AUS at any rate they want. Who is to tell them that they cannot take a massive loss or massive gain based on international exchange rates? They are...

    Entirely based on proximity rather than any other factor, Plaza Serrano on the weekends has a mini-feria with about 50 stands roughly. Some are artisans' stands. Recoleta's feria or Mataderos are the kingpins of artisan goods in Buenos Aires.
