Hey look what I found on Mercadolibre....I can't believe it. Blackstrap Melaza grown with organic fertilizer...price is kind of steep, $190 pesos for 900ml, however almost a kg of Melaza I am certain will last you for months...

I would like to propose a Coffee Chat for next Wednesday August 6th at 4:00 PM The place is called "Big Apple Restaurant". It's in the center, on Viamonte 1141, right opposite the side of Teatro Colón. It's run by an expat from my hometown, New York City, his name is Jack, he is a super nice...

These types of speciality items are generally NOT available here. Most people don't even know what Molasses is, let alone the blackstrap variety and much less organic. You are in a completely different country and will not have easy access to these types of products. The word for Molasses is...

Or how about since Perón came into power and put Argentina on a semi permanent slippery slope of populist demagoguery....face it!

I think this is right on the money....Argentine drama is chronically omnipresent yet fleeting. There is always some kind of critical situation looming; lately multiple crises at once, however people lose interest and move on to the next one. They have more flavors of political drama than...

Even though it's done here, you can't hire someone here (legally) in exchange for room & board. It's against the labor laws and you can very easily end up getting sued which will cost you a lot (in pesos). You must pay them at least the minimum salary plus social security taxes.

This link contains the minimum salaries for domestic workers. In Argentina "con retiro" is live out and "sin retiro" is live in. http://www.infoleg.g...20063/norma.htm By September, these rates will increase between 25-40%. And on top of their salary (which for what you are looking for is about...

I personally wouldn't buy a single thing from those shelves. All a bunch of high carbohydrate and sugary junk which there is PLENTY of available here. I would rather see products of good quality that are HARD to find here. Like real maple syrup, good semi-sweet chocolate, a real seafood counter...

This thread explains everthing very clearly, good luck: http://baexpats.org/topic/29534-immigration-for-dummies/

There are plenty of gummy candies here in all shapes and flavors. Ok maybe not Haribo, but what are we talking about here, these items are not in the "fine foods" category- I mean we are not discussing a shropshire or raw goat's milk cheese here, Arcor makes zillions of gummy candies under the...

There are 4 of them (buffet style) Costanera, Puerto Madero, San Isidro & Pilar. There are also 2 "take out" style locations, Palermo & Belgrano, and they also have a restaurant in Coral Gables, FL and I heard one was opening in Miami also!!

I am not a huge fan of potatoes myself, I much prefer green vegetables, however when I do eat potatoes, I like 'em spicy. Any one here every try "papas bravas" a traditional and common dish in Spain, where they sometimes call them "patatas bravas". Last week I ate at "Siga La Vaca" and I sure...

Very similar to sour cream is Casancrem, Mendicrim and other similar products.

I've been to a couple of these sales and some of them had some really nice things for sale. I didn't find the prices to be low, however I did find them to be lower than the mercado de pulgas and MUCH lower than the antique shops in San Telmo. I think it was a good idea that people were asked for...

That's true, you can only do the transaction 7 days prior to your departure date on the ticket. That is why it's better to buy the dollars on line and deposit them in your account (if you have one) then just make the withdrawal from your account. It saves you from having to wait for a teller...

Looks like you are approved. Bring the printout to the bank along with your DNI and you should be able to get the dollars without a problem. Or you can buy them online, have them deposited to your account and then go to the teller window at your bank to make the withdrawal. Good luck!

I just might make this one, I am going to be in the area this afternoon.

In their defense I have to say they operate very efficiently. The times I have needed to use their services everything was handled very quickly and exactly how they explained the process was exactly how it was....no "you need this, that and the other", then when you go with this that and the...

Just to let you know, most tenants ALSO pay ABL as well as expensas and the servicios that you mentioned.

Once you have your temporary residency (NOT precaria, that is a document that is given to you for a short period of around 30 days while your temporary residency is being processed) AND your DNI, then you will have a better chance at getting a standard rental contract. Keep in mind however...
