Antipodean - why do you think the Argentine government chose France/Paris as the first exterior destination? Why KLM? Where do you think the US fits into this priority list? Thanks.

Does anyone know where to get whole wheat fresh pasta?

Has anyone gone to any of the big WUs, like Montevideo and Cordoba, to pick up a large transfer? Like $1,000 or $2,000 (which would be around 110,000 pesos or 220,000 pesos at today's rate).

My experience with My Lovely Apartment was very negative. I do not recommend them at all.

Your post is one, long complaint.

A friend will be visiting Argentina. While here, he wants to dove hunt. He looked online and called a few places. He repeated some prices to me, and they seemed very high. Like $750 dollars per day. Does anyone have any suggestions about dove hunting in Argentina? I understand not everyone...

Does Santander Rio charge you a monthly for maintenance of a dollar account? I'm being told at Banco Provincia that it's $25 per month for a dollar account - which is the only class of account that will receive transfers in dollars. On the op-ed side, it's amazing to me that in a country short...

I went to the office in retiro today to renew my residencia rentista. I submitted all my documents through Radex, then received an appointment to go down there. The guy told me I needed to prove that my bank account in the US that received the passive income was linked to an Argentine bank...

How you went from granola to Yemen is certifiably insane.

I'm not sure what you are talking about. Did you read my entry? I never wrote, "America makes the best..." And my post is darn clear that I tried the Argentine granola and didn't like it. Why don't you eat chinchurlines?

Does anyone know where I can get American style granola in Capital? In my opinion, the stuff in the health food stores is foul.

Oh, I thought they were the same in capital?

Makes you think twice about drinking the tap water.

As far as problems with landlords in Argentina, yours is quite manageable. There are far worse problems lurking out there for foreigners involved in Buenos Aires real estate. Leave with the satisfaction that it's going to hurt her more than you. You may have spent a few uncomfortable days, but...

We assume you have prepaid the three months?

I never tip taxi drivers. I have dozens of stories of friends, relatives and acquaintances getting taken by BA taxi drivers. Given that more than half are thieves masquerading as taxistas, I figure they can pilfer their way to subsistence.

You have to bribe your correo to bring you the DNI. The first year of my DNI, I missed the correo on Day 1. On Day 2, I was at the building entrance waiting for him. I had all my paperwork from Immigrations. He said I lacked the right paperwork and he left. From there, my DNI went to Jujuy. The...

Exercise caution in the apartment rental process. About 90% of all real estate professionals in Buenos Aires are thieves.

Has anyone heard anything about the return of these organic ferias? It seems like they have been on vacation an awfully long time.

Macri has done all Argentines (except AA employees) and all visitors to Argentina a great favor by opening up the airline market to the low cost carriers. Many of my friends have tried the low cost carriers here and been very pleased. AAs has an unclear future given the certain capture of market...
