I watched the Puma vs. All Blacks match this summer and I don't see a very different result happening Sunday. I won't be in BA until October, but would love to watch some Rugby World Cup games while I'm there. Please keep posting about it here. GO PUMAS

Could you book and pay for travel inside Argentina through a local travel agent and pay the agent in cash? That seems an easier way, without going to the ticket office, and especially for those of us whose castellano is not yet what it should be.

He should chill. The worst that is likely to happen is that they foreclose on his timeshare which he doesn't use anyway. They could probably file suit against him, but a $500 per annum payment doesn't sound like much of a total obligation. If they sue, they still have to get jurisdiction over...

SteveinBAs, the recommended consultant, is a very helpful and knowledgeable member of this group who lives in a fortified enclave in an undisclosed location somewhere on the Pampas. He is good at answering questions on this forum, but I doubt if you have enough money to lure him into the big...

Dear SD, Here are three dental practices who have websites and at least two have a price list. http://www.drspelcman.com/ http://www.dental-argentina.com/ http://www.implantesdentales.com.ar/index.php Dentistry is horrendously expensive in the states. I plan to have some work done in BA when...

I've only used powdered gelatin. Never seen any other kind in grocery stores, and now sin sabor is getting harder to find. I look forward to using the fish glue version to make some daube en glace.

If you can't manage to take it out ask that 12 year old. :) That's what children and grandchildren are for! I'll need to find one to borrow when I move down.

Thanks guys. Follow up. When I return to the states do I go to my local tel-com store and have them take out the BA sim card? Or just gnaw it out with my sharp cat teeth?

This brings up a question I have for my tech savvy friends. If I bring my old Samsung android down for month of October and get it unlocked, I assume that I would still need to get cell service from a local telecom. Could that be done for one month and then renewed when I move down next summer...

Well, to add to Ceviche's List of Doom my birthday is on the 22nd day of September. Don't bother with a cake: so long as the end of the world isn't happening just yet I'll be perfectly happy.

Fangar looks forward to being there in October.

I'm crushed.

I am spending one in Atlanta right now. I've had worse, but I'm guessing summer in BA is more like one in New Orleans or Savannah. Lacoqueta, when does seersucker season begin down there. Is October too early? Thanks.

This place came up in a forum discussion a few months ago. http://www.colmegna.com.ar/home.html

Bajo, Are you saying that on my arrival in BA I can take my passport to any police station and have them make a certified copy for me to carry around during my visit? And how does one easily find a notary? In the US you can always find one at any bank, car dealership or funeral home. Thanks for...

Sorry. I did not mean to suggest riding a bicycle and having sex simultaneously! And I very much look forward to not having a car. With loan payments, gas, maintenance, insurance, etc. it has to cost me over $600.00 per month, but here I can't do without one.

ceviche said I drove a car all my life since the age of 18 till I set food in the amazing city of Buenos Aires. I have not driven a car for many years now except once in a while when I am in Houston for long periods of time and a car becomes a necessity. Now I am worried, I might forget how to...

Can you schedule October's for the last week so Nancy and Tom can be there? I really want to meet them. Please.

If an American has legal residency in Argentina with a DNI, can he open a dollar account in Uruguay? I have seen suggestions that it can be done, but I don't know the source, or how recent that opinion was given. Obviously an Argentine bank account would only be used for the deposit of pesos...
