We're pregnant for the second time in 2 years. After our first baby was born, our insurance ended up being cancelled on us, which we thought would be fine because we weren't expecting to be pregnant again so soon. Here is the thing though, we've been trying since October to get some form of...

I've never seen it, and I really don't expect them to start doing that. Most people have to take their paper bills to Pagofacil or Rapipago. How can they do that without any paper bills?

Taxi drivers are comparatively well paid here. They are not rich for sure, but a lot of them are comfortably middle class.

Thats a great idea! We should have a BA Expats Man of the Year! And yes, you are right. He did his job, nothing more, nothing less. Buts its worth it to point out that its not always bad, that not everyone wants to rip us off. I think that was more the point of the OP's post. We should be...

You should probably be able to ask your local vet for a suggestion about what to do. I do know that there are some people in the city who take care of injured birds. A vet should be able to point you in the right direction.

Thats a great idea, but I know through a friend who is trying to do just that, that the foreign owners can be just as crazy. Perhaps even more so because they may be overseas more often and get even more paranoid from not being able to assess anything in the apartment for themselves. Its...

beautiful, fully furnished loft in the residential neighborhood of Belgrano. The loft has been tastefully decorated, with hardwood floors throughout. The apartment has a balcony overlooking a small courtyard. The kitchen comes fully equipped with plates and utensils for six people and also has a...

For all the bad people here, there are a lot of good ones. Yeah, we've had a lot of drivers who have tried to pull a fast one on us, but we've had a lot of honest ones too. We've had owners pull every trick in the book and several that have been very open and honest. I am glad that you took the...

You are correct, we've had 3 crazy owners, but the last two have been very nice. Our current owner has actually done everything that he claimed he would do. He installed a railing on the staircase the day after we moved in for my pregnant wife. He has fixed numerous problems in the house, and he...

Yep, thats pretty much how mos of them are. We actually had the owner come a tear a huge hole in the mattress in an effort to get us to pay them MORE than the deposit that they never had any intention of giving back. Take pictures when you check in and when you check out. Have proof of the...

You will have more people nearby in Barrio Norte. Most of the expats, even those with kids seem to be living in the city. Even if they are not nearby to Barrio Norte, you'll be closer to them than if you lived out in the north zone and it will be easier to reach them. La Lucila is also dull...

Hmmm, thats a scary thought. I hadn't thought of it that way until i read that.

It is very sad that this had to happen. My thoughts are with the victim's family. It needs to be said, Plaza San Martin is not safe. It is right in front of Villa 31 and there is more than just a few people waiting in the area to rob tourists. The area needs to be avoided, especially at night...

Hahaha, this just made my day!

I've never been to NYC, so I cannot compare any of it to Recoleta. But in my experience, Recoleta is less safe than Palermo. I have been robbed in Recoleta, and my wife was stalked for 5 blocks and almost robbed in Recoleta a month later. The ambassador from New Zealand was riding his bike in...

To many people here have the mentality that they can do whatever they want and get away with it. I think I speak for most people on this forum when I say that we are sick of it. Yes, they are innocent until proven guilty, you are correct. But how many people in this country get robbed, mugged...

Since when does it matter if something is unconstitutional here?

Its awful that this had to happen, but I'll be very surprised if they are able to find anyone. The police will not do anything. If the staffer who was attacked was a foreigner, ideally you could get help from the embassy of his or her country here in Buenos Aires. If we find out anything...

Is she even aware that there is a Constitution in this country?
