We've had luck with sending via the usps but it takes several weeks if not several months, and you still have to go to retiro and wait several hours. I just don't get it, I didn't think Argentines understand efficient systems. It's as if they are just pretending to live in the 21st century. I...

For anyone interested I would not use DHL for anything. I went down to DHL's office near the casa rosada, on AV. Belgrano. Picked up the paperwork. Today I took the 8 bus from ONCE all the way to Ezieza, if anyone has done that it sure is a cheap way to get to the airport, but man, it...

I know this topic has been discussed but I wanted to see if anyone had any recent updates. My parents sent me a package from Oregon, which contained documentation for my wife's visa, little did I know my mom, as nice as she is, innocently included baby clothes for my future baby. Now it...

wife is pregnant, 23 weeks, we thought her visa would come so we would have the baby in the USA but we now know we will have the baby here in Argentina. Because of this prior uncertainty we don't have health coverage here in Argentina. We tried Galeno but they won't take here, and OSDE wants...

My favorite thing now is trying to pick the slowest lane, I make it into a game, if I pick the slowest rudest lane I win. My wife who is pregnant tries to use the priority lane but it is sometimes slower, and ruder than the other lanes. We like to joke that it's ok if regular people use the...

Its frustrating how biased the argentine media is in this case. Take that, and the argentines natural tendency to be obstinate and you have a hairy situation. Now, the few argentines I see on Twitter are extremely adamant that the kids belong in Argentina with the mom, and that is the only way...

I've been following on Twitter and it's clear that the argentine media has been manipulated by the mother. Every argentine I have seen on Twitter is completely against the father, due mainly to the fact that the argentine media publishes whatever the mom says. The USA media, which I biasedly...

Thanks, I went to correo Argentina and sent with Certificada, 121 pesos,,, it's always feel like it's a miracle the way worldwide mail works. Here's hoping my little envelope makes its journey safely to Texas.

I use to use VPNs but I found a better way, using a site called Smart DNS, which is an easy way to change your DNS. I use it on my iPad and setup was easy. They also have a setup for using it with TVs though I'm not sure how it works since I only use it in my iPad. Anyways you can try it for...

I've been in Argentina for over a year now and this is a very frequent topic between myself and my argentine wife, and my English students. I've learned to live with it and have become accustomed to waiting and looking around, lost in meditation. Being from Idaho, I really can't compare the...

I love complaining about a 100 pesos 8 dollar haircut

I would shave it but I'm not sure the wife would approve,, oh yeah another requirement, the haircut has to make my wife happy

I keep getting horrible haircuts here, I don't think the barbers here know how to cut my north American hair. Or maybe it's because I'm cheap and don't want to spend more than 100 pesos on a cut. Can anyone recommend a good Barber for a North american Rubio (bushy brown in reallity) Hair...
