Some of the reviews on that Trip Advisor page say they saw a rat while they were eating, or that they found a bug in their salad.

I was just about to mention the same thing. I had to get the YF vaccine to go to French Guiana a few years ago and as far as I remember if you didn't have it they would just give it to you at the airport (whether you liked it or not). I think it's strange that they wouldn't allow you to fly...

Glad to hear you were able to add the account! I do remember getting the same error message before with a non-Argentinean PayPal account and I was able to add it later, so it might have just been a temporary issue.

Actually, USD is the only currency that is not converted automatically into your account's currency. If someone sends you USD, you get USD (you always have a secondary balance in USD by default). But if someone sends you a payment in a currency that is not USD (for example, EUR) and is different...

Hi nikad, you're right in that the PayPal account and the bank account must always be in the same country, but there's a single exception for US bank accounts because PayPal is an American company. Thus, you can always add a US bank account regardless of where the PayPal account is based, but...

You should always open your PayPal account for the country you have your bank account in. For example, if you have a bank account in the UK, you want to open a PayPal account on www.paypal.co.uk, if your bank account is in Brazil, then go to www.paypal.com.br, etc. I have 3 PayPal accounts: one...

@Jennifer, I will be going to Harvard for grad school in the fall and I've been working in language education in Buenos Aires for the past 8 years. PM and I'll send you my email address, I will be happy to advise your son in finding a teaching job in the city.

@96000, just wondering, what is your opinion of UB based upon? Have you met any graduates in the Social Sciences who were not as qualified as UBA's and if so, could you explain how or give us more detail? I'm just asking because I graduated from UB a few years ago and overall I would say the...

Airbnb charges only in USD. You can set it to EUR, ARS, CHF, whatever currency you want, but that is only the currency in which you want the prices to be displayed: you will always be charged in USD when you check out. This means that, indeed, your friend will have to pay 35% tax for the...

Hello Mabel, Check out forum.thegradcafe.com. There's a whole forum dedicated to the GRE. Most people recommend Magoosh (online) and the ManhattanPrep books.

Thank you for the only serious comment in this thread.

Actually, this is not 100% as straightforward as one would imagine. If you want to move to Brazil (the MERCOSUR country most expats usually want to move to, and the only one where it's not easy to do so) you need to have been an Argentine citizen for at least 5 years.

People on Twitter disclosed his father's full name. I don't know if he's on this forum, but yes, he's a British expat living in Buenos Aires. They say the kid is also British. Oh the irony...

I don't know if this is the same for citizens of countries that are required a tourist visa, but I know many people who just came here as tourists, enrolled in school (private - college or grad school) and just changed their status. The school helps you out with everything and you get a...

You can bring up to $9,999 US dollars into the country, no questions asked. If you bring more than that, you will need to prove what the source of your funds is. You can keep that money in a safe deposit box at a local bank. If you're planning to go back to the US every 6 months and you can...

Did you cry? The key to getting sympathy from people in Argentina is crying - never confront or try to make a rational explanation.

Welcome! The good news for you is that wheelchair users along with one companion both travel for free in Argentina. And I don't mean just within Buenos Aires, but regular commercial long-distance buses that go to any destination within the country. Want to go to Mendoza for the weekend? Free...

If you are already here, there is really no such thing as a student "visa". You simply make an appointment at migraciones and take all the required documents, including those your school needs to provide, and a few weeks later you get your DNI (you'll get a "precaria" the same day - please note...

I don't want to freak you out or anything as I may well be mistaken. But, didn't Ibero shut down? As far as I know, about a year ago the whole school was on sale for 100k pesos, and I heard it shut down a few months later. However, this may have been the Spanish division only, not the TOEFL one...

The thing is, they are both right. In Argentina, many laws and regulations are contradictory; thus, it doesn't really matter who's "right", but who can file your taxes making a better case. This is why people here must have a good and reliable accountant (filing your own taxes can get you into...
