    Buenos Aires Tourist Guide

    I'm not really in to plugging my own blog but I just wanted to share it with other expats as I believe it could be of some help, specifically for new comers to the city. Basic common sense tips for living and visiting buenos Aires. Do you have any other tips I could include? Most of the...

    Teaching English Online?

    I teach English for language market buenos aires. Although I teach face to face I know they are now offering virtual classes. http://www.languagemarket.com.ar/ I'm not sure about the pay or the hours, sorry. For face to face classes they pay around 70 per hour.

    Teaching English Certification?

    I'm teaching English with several companies. I looked on Craigslist and several other job sites and had interviews pretty quickly. The problem is getting enough classes as you have to wait for the companies to assign you classes and usually they can be all over the city. I don't have a...

    Student Visa For Arg Wife

    That's what I imagined, I figured people have already thought about trying for a student visa instead of fiancé or spouse visa, and would be frowned upon. Better to do everything correctly. Or you could fly to Mexico and cross the border and meet Michelle Obama on the other side.

    Student Visa For Arg Wife

    I'm in the same boat as you, I don't have an answer to your question but I second your question to any who can answer. I don't want to be stuck in Argentina either waiting for a visa, as much as I love my wife and like buenos aires, I like the USA too much.

    Axel Kicillof Needs A Pr Rep

    Of course it's not important, just an observation, but I think in international business and finance if you want to be taken seriously you have to look serious. It might not seriously affect negotiations but it wouldn't hurt to look the part. If I was Supreme Court judge I wouldn't take Axel...

    Axel Kicillof Needs A Pr Rep

    Politics and economy aside, this guy drives me crazy. He is representing Argentina and Argentina's money and he can't comb his hair or put on a tie? Maybe he is the perfect metaphor for Argentinas financial state. They say dress for the job you want not for the job you have but he looks like...

    Paying For The I-130 Application

    I'm just about to start the process of the I-130, for my argentine wife of three weeks. I know there is a lot of info online but I was wondering if someone who recently went through the process could write a simple step by step guide for getting a spousal visa here in Argentina. For example...

    Moving Around Bsas

    I love comollegar. I wish I would have had it several years ago. I always use it, and it has really helped me, much easier than using the old guia T. I think it is an app, well maybe not I'm not sure, but I have seen people using it on their cell phones on the bus. I in-vision a future...

    Fabricated Argentina Vs. Usa

    I'm no expert on international finances and I don't speak Spanish well enough to capture everything Cristina has been saying but I have a couple of doubts, opinions and questions. Is Cristina ignorant enough to believe it is the USA vs Argentina in all of this or is it just easier to get the...

    Ba Expats Bold World Cup Predictions

    Germany is strong but overrated. The USA has no shot of advancing. Spain will do well, Argentina will do well, but whoever beats Brazil will win. I hope it's Argentina so we can all celebrate like crazy.

    Safety On Colectivos

    I take the 59 bus everyday to work on Santa Fe. I just wanted to give people a heads up that today on the way home I heard a scream and a man jumped out the door as soon as it was closing, he robbed a cellphone out of a ladies hand and timed is capper perfectly. It only took a split second...

    Floyd Mayweather Vs Chino Maidana Fight Tomorrow 10 Pm On Tv

    I have to admit I'm a fan of mayweather, not his personality but his boxing style and his work ethic, he is extremely ridiculous and arrogant but I've always felt some sense of national pride rooting for him. I'm torn with this fight because I think maidana seems like a humble, typical...

    Dish Washing Sponge Vs. Brush

    Although I agree with you internationalguy, I also think some humor is always welcome. Life is a little bit too serious sometimes. I'm going to be on the lookout for a nice dish washing brush.

    Dish Washing Sponge Vs. Brush

    I've never had a dishwasher here in Argentina and all the apartments I stay in have always provided sponges not brushes which is why I started this post. I guess they use a lot of water, can be noisy, but I'm not sure, not a lot of real negatives with having a dishwasher. All the major...
