    Left my passport in an unregestered taxi and leaving the country!!HELP!

    You HAVE to go to the police to report that you lost it. Otherwise, you may not be able to get out of the country. You have to go to the police, report it, and then they give you what is called a "denuncia" that says that you lost your passport. If you try to leave the country without a...

    Are these things true?

    You are right here nicoenarg, I was not trying to blame the victim. And you are also right that it was misleading for me to say that. I was not there, so I don't know what happened, and there is no point to try and find out what would have happened if he had no resisted. I do not think I did...

    New to Buenos Aires - my introduction

    Hi Harmony! Welcome back to BA and welcome to the forum. I hope that you will enjoy your time here in the city. Is your boyfriend an Argentine or did he come down with you? As for the classes, I really don't have a clue, but I am sure that someone else on the forum might be able to help you.

    Immigrant Visa Interview (spouse visa)

    My wife and I just had the interview on Thursday at the US embassy to get final approval for her spouse visa, and I wanted to pass on what we learned about the interview portion of the process for anyone else who has to do the interview now or in the future. To be clear, the interview was on...

    Urgently seeking a double bed

    Craigslist and vivavisos may also be good to check out. There are a few moving sales announced every week on Craigslist.

    Is Argentina on the verge of another crisis?

    As long as I have been on this forum, people have been predicting that the next economic crisis in Argentina was just around the corner. I think most people are expecting it. It certainly looks like we are close, or that we might already be in the beginning of a crisis, but Argentina has...

    Are these things true?

    Wow, I can already tell that you will be one of those members if you decide to come here. Just your fifth post and already resorting to name calling against someone who was trying to help you to feel better about coming here. The simple fact of the matter is, whether you want to believe it or...

    Urgently seeking a double bed

    Flores is usually the cheapest place in the city to buy furniture. Try going around Av. Rivadavia and Argerich and searching there.

    Are these things true?

    The French photographer would still be alive if he would have given up the camera without a fight. Instead he resisted. He shouldn't have resisted. His life was much more important than that camera. Just follow basic common sense (don't take your clothes off in the middle of nowhere when you...

    Are these things true?

    The first article should not even be considered. This is a city, so people will get murdered, just as in every other city in the world. The murder rate here is better than that of Washington D.C. And a few of the murders that take place a bound to be foreigners, given how many live or visit...

    Please read. Kony 2012

    I agree that Kony should be stopped, but I don't agree with how IC is going about this. They are creating a sensationalist campaign that is using facts from 6 or 7 years ago that are no longer relevant to the current situation. Case in point, Kony is no longer operating in Uganda. He does not...

    Looking for a pool.

    Club Comunicaciones is regarded as one of the best in the city. http://www.clubcomunicaciones.com.ar/ But you may not have a lot of time. My wife is telling me that the outdoor pool season is almost over now that the weather should be cooling down and kids are going back to school.

    Video, school bus/train accident

    JEEEZ. WTF! Trains just don't get along with Argentina. I will say that according to the news story we saw a few days ago on this, the bus was not able to go in reverse, and had not been able to for over a year. So the problem was that he did not stop in time. If you look at where he is before...

    Yes, we have no bananas...and other former imports too

    I would have thought that the eggs would be produced here in Argentina... And I know that we do import some fruits from Brazil, which is why I haven't seen nearly as much watermelon (or strawberries now that I think of it) this year compared to years past.

    150 Women Who Shake the World

    Of course she is... To someone who probably can't even point to Argentina on a map, she sounds like she has been a great president, especially since she was reelected to a second term by such a wide margin. Only those of us here in Argentina and the Brits know better.

    let,s cheer ourselves up

    I have a friend who saw two Jehova's Witness walking up her driveway so she went really quickly to close the front door so they would not see that she was home. After she closed the door, she waited for them to go away. She waited and waited but they never knocked on her door. After a half an...

    Santiago to Lima

    Does it have to be one way? One way tickets are always much more expensive than paying for a round trip ticket. I would suggest buying a round trip ticket and just not using the return ticket.

    How Many Expats Live in Buenos Aires

    This topic has been discussed a few times on the forum. No one really knows. Some estimates suggest that there are nearly 100,000 native English speakers living here, but others think that it is much lower than that. The estimate I heard before coming here 3 years ago, was 40,000 Britons, 40,000...

    Changing a flight?

    You should be able to call Taca and change your flight. When I changed them 2 years ago with United, I had to pay 150 dollar fee to do it. And do not go through priceline. They will just try to sell you a new ticket. The only way to change your ticket is if you go through Taca.
