I once interviewed for a company that did subtitling for videos in Buenos Aires. The pay was $40 per hour which works out to about $6000 per month, full time. Definitely not a salary that's worth 40 hours a week for a native speaker. Teaching English now pays $120 per hour.

The most common translation is "Dollar Clamp". In the news it's referred to as currency controls, currency restrictions, etc.

Everything sold except one, that I recently put up for sale and is in excellent hands with our very own GSDirtboy's agency.

GS since you are such a good guy I would totally do that for you, however I think your pizza would be on the lunchroom table at aduana as soon as it would get into their claws.....they would probably complian it didn't have enough cheese on it though. You can actually eek out a NY style...

Thanks to all for your kind words....I will miss sharing common experiences with you all and am SO ready for a whole new set of experiences to work with here, some old, some new. Today is my 3rd day back and I am loving it. I can't stop eating!! Today a bought a pound of roasted cashews and...

.......so yesterday afternoon I arrived back in New York. I didn't want to say farewell because first of all I don't like goodbye's and secondly I feel a strong connection to Argentina and know that I will be back someday, although probably never permanently. I've been thoroughly enjoying my...

This B&B is in Agronomía / Villa Urquiza.....one of my friends stayed here (He is Argentine, but lives in the US) when he came back to visit his family earlier this year. It was nice, quiet and well kept. http://www.altosdeagronomia.com.ar/

Thank you for proving my point, I couldn't have been more eloquent in doing so myself. I feel sorry for your children.......

Oh yes it can....and it is! Regardless of how much the Kirchner regime and "other airheads" that follow it deny it.

I am suspect of this store because swiss bank accounts do not have names attached to them, the account ownership is linked to a number. Even so, how would they know which "Juan Pérez" is the right one in Argentina that is linked to that account. This sounds like more government propaganda of...

The cat show is interesting but small, I've been going for the past few years. There are many beautiful speciments of cats to see. However mostly cat breeders have their cats on display and I suspect that they are drugged with sedatives for the cat show because most of the cats are just laying...

And I call you pathetic because in essence you are blaming the victim instead of the perpetrator and the system or lack thereof that allows him to be free. I don't wish bad on anybody, not even on you....but let's see how you feel if some one points a gun at you or a family member of yours, I...

Many apartment owners rent out their places when they are away from Buenos Aires. The key to success is an experienced and reliable real estate professional. I also recommend GS_Dirtboy. You'll get professional, honest and efficient service. I definitely wouldn't try to manage a property by...

What about a society with people that become brainwashed by a pseudo-dictator and live on choripanes? What does that say about this society? And what about people who call the victim of an armed robbery an idiot? Did anyone ever tell you that you are a truly pathetic individual?

Matías - you are a pathetic, derranged and brainwashed individual, I pity your soul.

Yes, I certainly do and so do 1000s of other people around the world that haven't been brainwashed or eat free choripanes from the government.

I traveled to Venezuela in 1991-1992, it was really beautiful and the people were awesome. Margarita Island was spectacular, almost paradise. I've heard the resorts there were expropriated and turned into military bases.

This abandoned hospital en ciudad oculta was the subject of a film released in 2012 called "Elefante Blanco". It's amazing that after all of the publicity that this film generated, that there are still people living in those exact same conditions after the film's release; some of these families...

Here are my answers: 1) Is it okay to show up at a relative house calling 10' in advance I don't know about all families, but the whole calling in advance / planning in general is much less common here. I've had unexpected guests many times, and I don't have family here, just good friends. 2)...
