Mmmmh - I've never heard of Natto being used in this way - and Hybrid Ambassador - thanks for telling me this - I had no idea... Anyway - that resto around the corner here in Belgrano IS very good and has old favourites like Natto and Shabu Shabu on the menu so I think another visit might be in...

Why? Good question cruizes - but for me the answer to the question of ''overstay or not'' - looking back on it now I guess I would have still done the overstay to be honest - although in the last 6 months I have actually renewed my visa etc because I had to go back home for a month to get some...

On a side note - even though they are about 1000 years apart - I just thought of this (and yes, I know, I am totally off topic lol) the parallel between Sekigahara in Japan and the Battle of Chester in England - its really quite striking... Both represented massive/radical changes in power and...

I agree with bigbadwolf - 150 quid is insane - but what choice do we have? I don't really want to let my passport expire so I am going to have to pay it... Hybrid Ambassador? Its a religious symbol - you would call it the Nordic/British/Germanic equivalent of a Shinto symbol I believe - 1400...

I've had a US dollar account there since last year - and it is the more practical solution for me sometimes...

I think I have to give this one a go myself - to scam the scammers :) Love it :)

Don't worry JP - just use the guide that is linked to above - this time its straight to the UK and then back again - the US doesn't come into the equation this time... I'm still waiting for the embassy here to reply to my email though just in case instead of doing it this way I have the option...

Far out - I *have* to do it :) Its been years...:) I have to find out what sake that resto around the corner was serving as well - not only was the food amazing the sake - it was good - and I mean *really* good... (and served at the perfect temperature as well :)

lol :) ROTFLMAO...

Piratas ?

Well Hybrid Ambassador - we did check out the Japanese resto around the corner here in Belgrano - and I have to tell you - wonderful :) Yes it was expensive but it was a wonderful meal :) Most of the customers were Japanese and the quality of the food was excellent :)

Might have to check the place out myself... Call me crazy but I love the idea of expats actually doing something to actively promote and support each other... I'm amazed someone hasn't even come up with the idea of something like an expat business association or ''chamber of commerce'' or...

PS Here is the current guide I am reading now... https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/254490/OS_OL_Guidance_10.13.pdf

Thanks guys... I've been reading the downloadable pdf and other instructions and it looks like you have to courier your original passport and a couple of photos back to the UK, pay about 150 quid (yes, that much...) and wait about 4 weeks and it comes back to you via courier... The application...

False alarm guys - its all here:) lol https://www.gov.uk/overseas-passports/y/argentina/renewing_new/adult

Guys, Just a quick (and possibly stupid) question. If my passport is about to expire in June next year am I getting in too early to try to organize renewing it ? The last time I did it overseas I think I was told that I should start the process at least 6 months before the expiry date (and this...

Let me see if I got this right - they have LEGALIZED child pornography ???? WTF ?

Its really not that hard to get a rough sense of what the inflation is - just compare what that ''basket'' of groceries you bought 6 months ago or even last month is costing you today - I would say that 50% sounds about right to me - there isn't much we are not paying at least DOUBLE the price...

I'm wondering - job number three for that bit of extra cash :) It would have to be ''night work'' of course and cash in hand...:)

My partner is on good terms with a rental agency we have been with for years - they are good guys and might just be able to look after you - pm me if you would like contact details and I will get them from her...
