Ashley, simple answer to your question is: Yes! The experience of working overseas in a different culture and the opportunity to travel on weekends and vacations all while living on a comfortable expat salary should not be passed up. Especially while you are young and have no kids - what an...

Oh by the way we were only staying 3 months, so willing to risk getting a place site un-seen on the internet. If we had been staying longer, I too would have looked for a place on arrival. By the way I have seen Dave's gorgeous house and the guest rooms are very, very nice. It would be a...

We used Bairesapartments.com and had no problems. The apartment looked just like the picture and video on their website. I spoke with one of their agents on the phone many times over the course of 2-3 weeks as we picked the apartment. He was very helpful in helping us pick a neighborhood and...

I saw a girl yesterday in her Uggs in Palermo. She had her jeans tucked in her U-boots, a nice sweater and hip scarf wrapped all cute around her neck. She looked urban and hip in a comfy I am running my errands sort of way. What seems to be everywhere and I mean everywhere I look is not so...

This is probably a bit off subject, but being the good "german" that I am in Munich (the level of recycling there is unbelievable), I was sorting my bottles, plastics and paper here. We live in a high rise and there is a big trash can on every floor. So I was putting my plastic water bottles...

Some of this has been said before, but if you are moving here, and plan to cook at home a lot here are the items I would bring from home: *measuring cups and spoons for dry measuring (flour, sugar, baking soda etc.) *If you own a good set of stainless steel or Calphanon type pots/pans bring them...

Here is the list of EU approved labs that perform the Serology test for the rabies antibody: http://ec.europa.eu/food/animal/liveanimals/pets/approval_en.htm We had to do this when we transported our cat from Thailand to Germany. We had our vet in Bangkok draw the blood and he packaged it and...

We are 3 weeks into a 3 month assignment here is BsAs. My husband works and drives out to Tortuguitas everyday, we live in Puerto Madero. I honestly don't know what to make of what we have been told by the locals, but it has made me a bit uneasy. Here is a quick recap of some of the things we...

austgirl - Monday is a public holiday - Dia de la Bandera - will shops be open? Anyone?

My experience is that microchipping is definately required these days if travelling with your pet. The purpose is not so much if you lose your pet, but rather to identify the documents supporting the vaccinations match specifically to your pet at customs entry and exit. That being said, I...

Hi Dave, Add another 2 to the list: Betty and Christof

My husband was relocated here for 4 months and we used Bairesapartments.com to find housing. We had a good experience with them. We picked the apartment on-line and it looked just like the pictures and video. The area was just what we wanted etc. You will also be advised by many on the...

Has anyone seen the USA measuring cups for dry ingredients (ie flour, sugar, etc.). I looked around in Juy Juy (spelling?) area and found a liquid measuring cup - but not the dry ones - like say these: http://www.fantes.com/measuring-cups.html I baked some cornbread the other day using the...

Dear Tinto, You are doing the right thing in getting legal advice stateside. I strongly disagree with two things Karin said in her items number 1) and number 3) as both are completely against everything immigration says - and that is never a wise thing to do. My brother (a US citizen)...

Wanting to revive this thread - We are in BA for 3 months and my husband and I are both avid sailors. We owned a sail boat in Melbourne and belonged to the RBYC. Between us we have about 1,000 sea miles (many two-handed) in Port Philip Bay, Bass Strait, Whitsunday Islands and the Gulf of...
