Have to agree with Steve here. You can't really get away from crime in this city. We live in a quiet neighborhood where all the people are friendly and look after each other, but things still happen. But it really is a matter of timing. If you just end up in the wrong place at the wrong time...

Anyone out there looking to sell an old cellphone? One of ours it about to bite the dust and we could really use a new (old) one. PM me if anyone has anything. Thanks!

In every part of the city that we have lived, Nuñez, Vicente Lopez (north zone), Caballito, and Palermo, we have seen or heard crime. One day I was walking in Nuñez on Cabildo right near the Congreso subte stop, and I saw two big burly guys running down the street with a backpack screaming back...

Hi there, I have a friend who might have a property that would suit you in Palermo, near the US embassy. If you can send me a private message with your email, I will be sure to pass it along to her.

Middle of the afternoon on a friday.

Had my passport, visa debit card and cellphone stolen right out of my pocket in Recoleta at Austria and Las Heras last August.

Just thought I'd pass this along for your enjoyment. :)

I've was at first doing the Uruguay trip every three months, but I haven't done it since November of 2010 and I haven't had any issues.

No they have not, and they won't do it anytime soon. It is the same thing with the insurance that they are holding up. People can't get private insurance right now. The government doesn't care about the people (unless they live in a villa) and they are playing with people's lives.

If my wife dead, I would not be over it in a year, and we have only been together for three years. I can't imagine how long it would take me to get over the loss after being together for 30 years (or however long they were married). In fact, its not something that you can ever really get over...

I've got a friend who is trying to sell a table that she has and I offered to post it here. She is asking for $500 pesos or your best offer. The table will have to be picked up in Palermo. Please PM if anyone is interested.

When we got our daughter's Argentine passport and DNI, it was quick and simple. We went in and were directed to the right window. Then we paid and went to the other side of the hall to fill out any information they needed and get her picture and fingerprints done. The whole thing only took 15...

I was going for the snazzy catch-phrase but that works just as well ;)

I have to say that it makes sense to me to have the resident price be so low. It is Argentina after all and Argentines should be able to enjoy their cultural landmarks just like they should be able to travel around their country with cheaper airfare. Argentina should be for the Argentines.

Hospital Italiano is the most expensive option I have looked at, but like the rest, their insurance is not taking any new accounts. We've talked to Hospital Aleman and we can pay out of pocket there for 25000 pesos. So at least I know that there is an option. We'll be calling around to all the...

Thanks! We are excited but this is making us nervous. Right now it looks like we can just pay for the c-section out of pocket and pay for a few days in the hospital without trying to get insurance.

We're meeting with him next week to go over our options.

syngirl, We had 4 months between pregnancies so I agree that it is not wise to get on a plane that late in the pregnancy. I am willing to pay out of pocket, but NO ONE is offering insurance to cover these things at the moment. I also know that we can have the delivery in a public hospital, but...

We've been calling everyone. No one is offering plans for anything until the government gets everything sorted out. We've called Hospital Aleman, and they won't do it until they know how much it will cost them.
