totally agree with the last posts... when it comes to visas, there is no such thing as fairness, if we really talked about fairness there would be no borders, everyone would be born in countries of the same economic level, etc, etc... this fee is just silly and might hurt the tourist industry...

Like Sara says, it sounds like you need an interpreter. But it really depends on what situation and how official you want it. Just finding somebody who is perfectly bilingual and aware of the context and what you are trying to accomplish might be better than an licensed interpreter. Feel free to...

Vacation days are normally imposed by the union to which you will belong (pretty much whether you like it or not). You can always ask for more, but I don't think it is common to negotiate those...

We have received confirmation that Saturday afternoon the Haitian Embassy will send over 5 musicians who will be playing all afternoon long. It seems we are getting a visit from MTV Argentina as well. http://msf.org.ar/agenda/agenda1.asp?idagenda=37

I always say Buenos Aires has got to be the slowest and calmest big city in the world. I've never seen a city where the subway is coming and people not moving any faster through the escalator to try to catch it. As an impatient american, this is incredibly annoying. As somebody who wishes he...

As a peruvian/american I can recommend the following: Primavera Trujillana, Astrid y Gaston, Francesco, Ceviche, Mochica and Mamani (very cheap, very simple, full of peruvians). But I honestly haven't found a bad peruvian restaurant in BA yet. 3 years ago when I moved to Buenos Aires I got so...

12 to 15 pesos an hour is about the going hourly rate now, but when you hire somebody to come twice a week all day long, 10 pesos an hour is average. The legal minimum wage is at 1200 pesos a month, if you take that and divide by 40 hours a week, the minimum wage is 7.5/hr. Most Argentinians...

Thank you to all that came yesterday and thank you Christophe for doing such a great job with the entire team. To answer the questions, we already have WiFi! And we are in a search for acai, so far we have only been able to find it in vitamin or bottled form which defeats what we are trying to...

I know a nice lady that is renting a full cabin for 8 people next to Cerro Catedal in Bariloche very cheap for the whole week of Aug. 15th. It is a timeshare, so it has to be that week. It is part of a resort and has all the resort services included and 20% discount in skiing... I guess there...

I have a question? WHat does having dual citizenship have to do with taxes? The US and Argentina do not have a tax treaty. You are supposed to pay taxes on your worldwide ASSETS in Argentina if you are a resident here (spend more than 6 months/year here). You are supposed to pay taxes on your...

I have heard many similar stories of argentinian men, but what is interesting is that women have the reputation of being hysyterical. Fortunately, even though I have been in BsAs for a few years, I haven't encountered that, but then again I haven't really found that many portenos I can truly...
