Hope to make this though I have two appointments that evening / I missed Friday due to terrible cold overtaking me (again).

Views here veer from saying nothing will change whatever politicians want or so, and saying that a CFK victory would bring the worst of all possible worlds. I can see the Macri method as the ancient liberal programme of cutting imports, creating trade surpluses, passing on prices to domestic...

Great to meet everyone there tonight

Always tricky to intervene in a domestic, including armed, though I sympathise with landlord-landlady issues. Not unique. I did a long let with a guy in Almagro via AirBB and paid everything as required including cleaning fee. Apartment was problematic with faulty fittings, dirty beer bottles...

Many thanks for this: shell = my usage = off the shelf company in some english parlance I think. My friend is Irish and has worked for a company for 2-3 years and told me that getting perm residency was not a problem in her (big) company as their company lawyers handle it all. She no doubt had a...

I am opening up another line of enquiry but since you people seem to be very knowledgeable I hope its ok to post it here: in talking about moving, residence etc, I know that if you are employed by a company here then they often spin the wheels to get you perm residence within a reasonable time...

The limits of the Government's aspiration appears to be merely a gentler decline in the value of the peso while at the same time asserting it is going to toughen policy to achieve zero inflation - since imports will continue and will embody price rises (as them value of peso sinks), further...

This must be a matter of opinion rather than a moral imperative? When the Spanish Civil War broke out and republicanism swept Madrid, the waiters and porters made a principle of refusing tips as enforcing a culture of traditional deference and servility. The French make an enormous point of...

I know one guy who stayed a couple of weeks with a BnB and then bargained a long term stay at 'hostel prices' (I don't believe him but he did get the landlord to give him a low rent). In your situation a sensible option is to rent a room in a house not an apartment IMO.

My experience is that Argentinians almost always warmly appreciate a gratuity of say 5% or 10%. If the service has been poor I don't tip or for a coffee served from a counter or nearby, again usually do not. Cannot get the American custom of compulsory tipping of 15%-20%. I once paid a group...

See comments of Rich One above re leverage. The law will enforce a proper contract, not make your boss give you one.

You must be representative of many good people who are struggling.

Will check it out!

Gracias Nancy.

Thankyou!

I am interested in progressing my basic (I mean basic) Spanish with some one-to-one conversation classes with a professional (ie good standard), reliable and honest person who has some experience in this kind of work, preferably not a teenager. If anyone can recommend someone for (sa) 4 hours...

Check out BnB for prices. USD$ budget of 1500-2000 fine if you want to live reasonably well but it will not cover extravagances such as trips, private tours, private tango lessons and shows. Depends on how rich your lifestyle is and what you are used to. Some foods are really not very cheap if...

Yes we were talking about two different people: one tango aficionado here who has bought and spends 3 months per year here and another (my friend) who is renting and spends 12 months a year here - both tangueros. I assumed (wrongly) we were talking about full year rentals.

Is 30 months 10 years or 2.5 years? I make $600 x 12 x 10 = USD$72,000?
