Hi Lauren, I have never had a baby, so I can't offer much to answer your specific questions, but I used to live across the street from Trinidad, and have been there several times, accompanying others. My suegro-to-be had a stent put in at Trinidad, and my fiancé was treated for a bad illness...

Hi everyone - thanks so much for the quick responses! My fiancé has just sent inquiries to both spaces recommended above. I am really open to everything in Cap Fed, but I think I prefer the classic BA style, rather than modernist. I keep looking at photos of some of the more modern spaces...

My Argentine fiancé and I are hosting a small wedding reception (80-100 people) in Buenos Aires. Unfortunately, the Park-Hyatt, Faena, and Four Seasons, etc. are a bit out of our budget.... Can anyone suggest a salon / place to host our event? Thanks in advance!

Just my most recent experience - My first entry to Argentina was Nov. 08. I have never overstayed, and have never gone to Migraciones to buy an extension stamp, always renewing my tourist visa by leaving the country. I did go to Colonia last weekend - and of course - same as it ever was - I...

No problems to report on my most recent border crossing, this one done at EZE (just to mix things up), as I'm bored with going to Colonia... If there is a government encouraged crackdown on perma-tourists, the happy people working at Migraciones at EZE have not yet been told about it. I...

I have taken Colonia Express, and I was pleasantly surprised by it. The terminal is small (when I went, the terminal was being renovated, and what was finished was lovely and modern) and there are much smaller crowds, and fewer lines. It does the job of transporting you to your destination...

When I went to the Argentine Consulate in NYC in July to inquire, the woman I spoke with said that if I am applying for a work visa from outside of the US (ie, New York City) through the Consulate, the Consulate would be satisfied with the NYC police report, but if I applied from INSIDE...

I found that to be a bit weird, too. However, after seeing the people roaming around my neighborhood late this afternoon (and after the disturbance today in the park), I can see why shopkeepers were not selling alcohol today. I suppose it's the Argentine equivalent of not selling eggs to...

I flew in to EZE from New York on 5 August, and after I put my bags through the scanner, the customs man asked me why I had 2 laptops, and he told me to take them out of my bag so that he could see them. The first one I took out was my beat up plain vanilla Mac, which is several years old...

I saw Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup in the Jumbo on Thursday - it was at the end of an aisle, close to the beverages section, maybe 3 aisles from the soda aisle, and on the end of the aisle closest to the pitiful International / Imported Food section.

I'm in for a good sandwich tonight!

My recent experience as an EEUU'er has been as follows: I've been doing this now for almost 2 years (no where near 11+ years!) My last run to Montevideo in April was met with smiles and waves by passport control when I exited and returned to Argentina. I was at day 86. Not a single statement...

I just brought (into EZE two weeks ago from NYC) 2 laptops in one bag - my old mac, and a new PC. I was stopped at aduanas. The scary man questioned me about why I had two laptops, wanted to know when they were purchased, who they were for, and he wanted to see them. I told them one was...

I'm up for Sunday afternoon ladies meet up - maybe around 1pm, for coffee/tea/brunch/lunch? How about this cafe style place in Palermo: Baraka - Gurruchaga 1450 It's a small place with a great coffee and tea menu (food as well) and won't break the bank. Who's in? Not sure if they take...

It all happens, it just depends where you are at what time. And I think it's much more dangerous than NYC is right now. I grew up in NYC in the mid 80s and early 90s (when it was very unsafe) and BA has the feel to me of NYC back then. If you are cautious and think ahead of time, for the most...

I went to Malta about 6 years ago - only for two days - but I did enjoy it immensely! Welcome to BA!

I also would love to join in! I have been here off and on about two years from NYC, and would love to meet some new people!

I can second the recommendation of "ba4uapartments.com.ar" I rented a studio apartment from them for a month two years ago in Recoleta on Aranales y Callao, and had a fabulous apartment - everything was taken care of, what ever concerns I had were addressed very quickly (ie, there was a...

Alzinho, So sorry to hear of your misfortune! Double sorry to read the personal attacks against you on this forum. Getting robbed sucks, and I never understand the "blame the victim" crap that many people spew. It certainly is a different type of mentality than I'm used to! I was...

It appears that FBI (and not migraciones) had a change in policy in January. The FBI will now authenticate it's search results. Migraciones didn't previously require the FBI results to be authenticated because the FBI refused to provide an authentication. Therefore, as the FBI has changed...
