I have no pets but these are herbs that we eat so don't want to do any non-food safe poisons.

I just noticed that one of my containers has either aphids or mites, there's small and clear and I can't tell for sure which they are. Anyone had any success getting rid of them? So far I only see them on that plant, I checked the others and don't notice any signs of movement or the bugs. I'd...

That's the point of a contract to set out the terms between the parties. As stated if the economy went the other way, would the LL decide to offer a rent reduction, highly unlikely. Rental contracts everywhere are subject to the inflation and economy, which sometimes leaves one party in a better...

Every time you get a new Tourist Visa stamp your 90 day clock starts over. The only time that would not happen is if you renew your tourist visa without leaving Argentina and instead by visiting the immigrations offices. Then your Visa would be for a fixed 90 days and you would have to leave the...

Camera tickets get mailed to the car owner, for a tourist that would usually be a rental car agency, who would probably then pass the charge along through the credit card!

You usually see the cameras in the small towns along the way, wherever the speed limit drops, though we recently were given a radar detector which never once went off on the trip from BA to Mar del Plata and back on the last long weekend so no clue if they don't have them on or it's not radar or...

In all my flights in and out of Argentina and the US in the past 5 years I have never once been asked a question about my laptop or two, much less needing to turn them on. Phones either, although there have been news reports about phones needing to be functional.

Yes you just need to travel with both passports and show the page in your passport to the airline employee, it lasts 10 years and not the life of the passport.

In my personal experience, with our family here I think it's due to lack of experience. They all work and don't have big families 1 or no kids, so they rarely cook/cooked and if they do it's very simple since they never really learned or experimented in the kitchen. Also I think that by not...

Unfortunately the issue isn't just with Hertz, or Argentina, we had 2 issues with rental cars in Chile. One totally broke down on the highway so we returned it early and they wanted to charge us the whole rental time plus potential for damage. We has a discussion and ultimately they ended up...

Okra's are sighted from time to time, most likely in Barrio China, they have a very short window in Argentina so if you see them, buy as many as you can stuff in your freezer.

I would measure your mattress first as they sell several different king size beds!

They sell bagels 4 to a bag at Jumbo, check the bakery counter. They are not the best ever but they're not the worst, you're not going to find real NY Bagels here if that's what you want. They are better than the ones at Starbucks, at least when I tried one from Starbucks a few years back. Tip...

It will vary from LL to LL. Make sure you do the math on the increases, especially if you're planning to be here longer, as sometimes doing a smaller one every 6 months will work out to more in the long run, since 10% every 6 months is more than 20% a year.

Just was at Jumbo Palermo, they have their Halloween displays up but alas no good carving pumpkins. Anyone else have better luck this week?

Any sightings of orange pumpkins recently? It's carving time in our house! :)

It really depends on what type of events you're looking for. You'll find some of the expat frequented bars host Halloween parties or events. Also many Argentines enjoy costume parties so if you have one, you're likely to find a lot of guests dressing up, but they don't usually wander about...

We don't have a standing water problem, we have french balconies. I was looking to add some plants and was hoping that there were local plants that had some effectiveness against mosquitoes!

Has anyone ever tried this method? I'm wondering if planting a few plants in front of the non-screened balcony doors will have any impact on mosquitoes...or will they not be bothered and just fly past them?

Thanks for the options I'll check them out Just looking to get what we paid USD 35 each or all 3 for 100
