The fireworks were awesome on Christmas from our terrace. I would choose that any time over the crowded 15 minutes shows for the 4th of July in the States. Can't wait to see it all again on the first.

To bad the vice president is worse...

Keep in mind that with the subsidies being taken away for water, gas and electricity, that the prices of the apartments will most likely be going up next year.

Argentina is also exporting most of their prime cuts of meat which is why it can seem impossible just to buy lomo from the butchers anymore. It is a shame. The quality of the meat in just the last two years has fallen dramatically. The meat in Uruguay is much better in my opinion.

I highly recommend Taxi Ezeiza. The people at the stand they have in the airport speak English and they can make sure to give you a car where all your luggage will fit. I have also heard that they will go out of their way to return anything to you that may have been left behind in the car.

Public hospitals are not nearly up to the level as private hospitals in terms of available equipment or in terms of the quality of the doctors there. You would be much better off going to a private hospital, and there is a chance that you will be able to ask for a doctor who speaks English...

We got our monedero card at a subte station. But that was like 8 months ago so I am not sure if you can still do it.

The last one worked through skype. None of the others worked, I don't understand it. Thanks for all the help ndcj!

You can check www.plataforma10.com for the bus rates. I think they list all of the bus companies. Its basically like kayak.com or travelocity. It is undergoing maintenance right now, but should be back up in the morning.

Tomorrow is going to be awful...

Like I hadn't thought of that. That was the first thing I tried. I'd be happy to let you try, but it won't work. So perhaps you are the one who is confused because you are not understanding me.

The number is not wrong. The person is visiting Mar del Plata from Capital, which is why it is a number from capital. So it is not 15 xxx-xxxx. It is 15 xxxx-xxxx.

The problem is, that is a cell phone number for Buenos Aires. I cannot just dial it normally, since the person is in Mar del Plata, and when I dial the codes that you two have suggested, I am either told by Telecom that I cannot do it or when it goes to ring, it just starts beeping instead.

Does anyone know how I can call a cellphone in mar del plata from Capital? I know that the code for Mar del Plata is 0223, but I cannot seem to get any calls through.

In my honest opinion, if you are renting a temporary apartment, I don't think you need to tip anything... If anything, the owner needs to tip the portero. It would be different for renting a 2 year apartment. And even then, they make so much money without paying rent that there is no need to go...

I have never seen a bike on a bus here before. I do not believe that any bus driver would let you on with the bike. I would recommend that you take a remise there and back. A remise will only charge 10 to 20 percent of the first trip for the return trip, so it would be cheaper than taking a...

When I went, it was saying that it was unable to process the transaction, but it said that after asking if I agreed to the extra charge. Usually if the atms don't have money, they tell you before you accept the charge.

I had this trouble a few days ago. I was told that all the Banelco ATMs are out of service until Monday and I was not able to withdraw more than 900 from a link atm.

Argentina is hard. That is a fact. I think most people deal with the issue you are talking about in terms of work and inflation. Honestly, you have to ask yourself if you love him enough to move here and endure all of that hardship. I moved down here for love 2 years ago, now I am married and...

...why not just get Uruguay pesos from the atms there? The one time I tried to get dollars from an atm in Uruguay, it didn't work. But that was a year and a half ago. It may also be possible to get dollars from the teller at a bank. But again, seriously, go to an atm and withdrawn $Ur instead...
