    contract for cell phone with data plan?

    I just got Personal 3G on the USB stick, and it is extremely slow... very disappointed. I don't recommend it at all... I will probably return it before the 10 days to get my money back

    Natural and organic guide to Buenos Aires

    ha, that would be a great sales technique! A map that loads only half way so you have to buy the printed version... anyways, the map is free, and you should find it at various organic places and juice bars in town, even hostels.

    Natural and organic guide to Buenos Aires

    I recently discovered this awesome map for those that are interested in a healthy lifestyle, it has a lot more than food, it has construction companies, toy stores, etc, etc: http://www.organicoopers.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/mapa%20primavera.htm They have a very nice printed version...

    Whatever happened to hope and change?

    it's not just Bush or Obama, it's the system... a country that continuously has a split government and you need a super majority to do anything used to work well back in the days when people put their country before their careers, but now, they are more worried about getting elected or reelected...

    Mail

    my stats on regular mail in Palermo are: 40% received unopened, 60% never received. In that never received category there was a US check sent to an Argentine. The check was cashed in Spain within a week of being sent. So, it makes you wonder, if it takes 2 weeks to get an envelope from the US to...

    Mexican restaurant?

    I personally think that Mexican food in Argentina is not good. The best one I found was Lupita in Las Cañitas, I thought it was OK, others (all americans) thought it was good...

    Currency Exchange

    I found that Banco Piano normally gives the best rates (not at the airport though!). There are 3 that I know of, one in Cabildo (Belgrano), downtown (San Martin), and I think I saw one on Scalabrini Ortiz near Corrientes...

    After having horrible experiences with plumbers, I found an awesome plumber and cheap. He is honest and works really hard. He was so good and about 1/2 of what my building's consorcio plumber charged that I recommended him to my building and 3 weeks ago the administrator told me we had already...

    contract for cell phone with data plan?

    By the way, I recently bought an old Movicom SIM card (now owned by Movistar) which gives me a fixed land line number on my cell phone. I can receive phone calls for free and the person calling me only pays land line rates. What is even cooler about this is I have skype in with a number in the...

    contract for cell phone with data plan?

    Yes, this is horrible. It took me 3 years to finally get a contract phone. Even with a DNI it is a pain to get a cell phone with a contract, without it I found it impossible. The best solution is to find a friend with a DNI and ask him to get a phone for you.

    Argentines American dream goes sour

    Oh, come on, saying that Argentina has more freedom that the US has nothing to do with supporting the Kirchners. I hate the Kirchners, I think they are ruining this country, but I have to agree with Pericles, this country has a lot more freedom than the US (yes, I am an American). We are not the...

    Transferring money to Argentinian bank account

    doing it with a bank is pain, no way to avoid filling out forms and loosing a lot of money in conversion... financieras are better, I found one that charges 1.2% and I get the money with 1 day. The problem is that you really have to trust them. Moneygram is better than western union, but if you...

    Couch surfing

    Haha... same here, hosted about 15 people, mostly which I had met and see at least once... definitely a young crowd (average 20 years old). If you are selective you will find really good people, if you are not, you might find people who have found in CS a way to satisfy their constant...
