    Are Argentine women and men amongst the worlds most beautiful?

    I just looked at the list.. and the first photo #1 - Holland... I actually received an email recently that showed the difference between people going out to British Clubs vs Swedish clubs and that photo was in it... she was listed as one of the swedes! I remember clearly because she is the exact...

    sending text (SMS) messages to/from US/Europe

    most of my family in australia have no problems receiving my messages, however I don't receive theirs. A few months back I used to get them randomly, but now pretty much nothing. I text a friend in the UK recently and she didn't get it. I am with movistar and have prepaid... ie I bought the...

    women's clothing

    I second Normandie... I go to the one on the corner of Corrientes and Uruguay, or it might be one corner up from Uruguay, can't remember! I must check out this Tramps place... sounds good! I get lots of compliments on the clothes that I bought at Forever 21 when I was holidaying in the states...

    Anses - cuil

    my original looks like a scrappy photocopy anyways! The pages aren't even aligned straight! I thought the temporary precaria looked much more official! I've not left the country since having this so not sure about the original/photocopy situation. When you get it you can check to see if anything...

    Anses - cuil

    yes this is correct. A colleague has literally walked in the door from getting his precaria. He and the gestor went to ANSES to get the CUIL straight away and the office is completely closed at the moment. Popper, in 40 days (or perhaps it is 30) you return to migraciones for the disposicion...

    Anses - cuil

    I think once you obtain the precaria you have 30 days to get to ANSES office to get the CUIL. Popper, due to swine flu staff reductions, you may find that you do need an appointment at the moment. The happened to a colleague of mine last week. I don't know how to do that however, our company...

    Here's my intro

    I also had this done! I was 16 and only needed it done to one ear! I finally made the decision in the year of my debutante ball at high school as I was too embarrassed to wear my hair in an up-do! Good on you for moving back home Nativexpat, i'm sure it wasn't an easy decision. I'm an aussie...

    Lost Bank Card.

    I use moneygram also, although to send, not receive. I have never had a problem with them and I believe they are cheaper than WU. You can use their locator on their website. Some places are for receiving only and others for sending only.

    Cost of Living

    Hi Paulk, you're going to get a varied lot of responses regarding that question... In my opinion, 2700 pesos is enough to live on per month. But that is only if you live more like a local rather than an expat wanting to 'live like a king'. (even that statement is a sweeping generalisation) I...

    Very Concerned- How Long Will Migraciones Be Closed???

    Hi, hopefully your new employer will be sensitive to the situation considering this is out of your control. A colleague of mine made it through immigration just last week, but was unable to obtain the CUIL at the ANSES office due to Swine Flu office closes. Online appointments are now only...

    Costa Rica Happiest country on Earth ( Pura Vida)

    I read an article about this report earlier this week. Don't the measurements have something to do with happiness related to 'greenness' (is that even a word?) I have been to Costa Rica and whilst the country side is beautiful I think San Jose is up there with the most filthy cities i've been...

    Has anyone come across any weird Argentine laws?

    huh! Well there you go! I think having a healthy sex life could ultimately lead to transmitting such diseases before marriage however! Of course one should take precautions to prevent such happenings and have regular tests anyway. Sounds like the law is too old, too religiously minded and out...

    Has anyone come across any weird Argentine laws?

    Nikad what do they do if some sort of illness or disease shows up in the blood test? Or is it purely just to record the blood types of married couples in case of need in the future... ie sick children/relatives... ? I'm also known to faint at the sight of needles!

    Has anyone come across any weird Argentine laws?

    really? jaja... I didn't know that one! There's also one about if one parent is taking the children out of the country there must be written consent by the other parent? I understand this is to protect child abduction. Not sure if this type of law exists in other countries, I don't have any...

    Has anyone come across any weird Argentine laws?

    I know, not a great quote... I was just trying to show that the list exists and I wasn't making the law up! My Argentine boyfriend's sister's name is Heidi! His parents had to apply for that name. They heard about the story of the girl with the pigtails and loved the name!

    Has anyone come across any weird Argentine laws?

    I found this in a blog through google.com Hopefully this sets your off in the right path! "Yet despite Buenos Aires' proud "melting pot" demographics, there's also strong sentiment to preserve Argentine culture from outside influences. Expectant parents, for example, must choose their baby's...

    Has anyone come across any weird Argentine laws?

    http://www.defensor-alejo.com.ar/legis_web/nac/nombre.htm this has info about the law of names. (do you speak castellano?) Articulo 3 I believe demonstrates the reasons that the list exists. http://www.sitiosargentina.com.ar/Nombres/ this site claims to have the list. I haven't looked at the...

    Has anyone come across any weird Argentine laws?
