    I think I'm gonna go for residency & Cedula de Identification para Autorizado a Conducir. Keeping cash outside the country, using various methods to transfer it in. Using effectivo. Could use a bank account for paying bills if I want to but will try to avoid that. Thanks for all the advice...

    En Blanco vs En Negro, being on the radar in general & driving

    I've been reading various thread over the years and I can see that there are many reasons to do thing in the white... but also many reasons to do things in the black. However, there are shades of grey all the way between. I'm in the fortunate position where I can choose to go on the radar...

    Reporting contact with an international fugitive in BA?

    I wondered why I was worried when he rode round the corner with my bike! 1) How is he making money calling the USA? What companies are paying him? 2) It might be hard to nail him. If I were moving I would go to another country. He would probably visit another Latin American country next for...

    Dental implants.

    Slightly offtopic but I used my mother in law's dentist for a simple filling. It was £15 for the xray and ~£6 for the filling. He persuaded me not to use any anesthesia. When I got back to the UK the tooth started hurting. I went to my usual dentist, private because my work is too irregular to...

    New Family visa rulings in the UK

    Subscribing to thread. We were about to do this after getting 3 years together and now we see the timeframe has been raised to 5 years. In addition, I was looking at going freelance contracting in order to get work in Argentina in the interim, which will now delete my eligibility regards the...

    I miss sailing - anyone have a boat?

    I will have to visit and get chatting. How does yachting here compare to the silent, uk? I've been reading about liveaboards and so I wonder how friendly and liberal the area is. I'm getting the impression that the river is much more controlled but this is should be only a minor thing, not a...

    YPF Nationalized

    I have plenty of acquaintances who casually but blindly invest in oil companies. Plenty of these companies continue to be implicated in wars and shady deals. Perhaps it might be time for people to think a little when investing in companies for a change. I hope that's what Repsol share...

    Moto delivery riders online

    What's the name for the moto riders who deliver things and where can I email one online. I need to get something delivered. Next problem; I'm not in BA so I'd have to get a friend to pay them remotely somehow... I'm actually trying to buy a present for someone from Mercadolibre but what I...

    DID / VoIP-in Argentina phone number needed. Where to buy?

    Thanks $6 is better than ~£7 with Localphone.com , who are very good for UK and USA numbers. I wonder if a better price can be found too now. Betamax clones like VoIPCheap now have poor call quality. My Spanish is very slow on reading so it would take me a long time to find out so I hope you...

    Radical change in rental law

    How do we tell between how much cash is being printed and market forces? Same problem all over the world. The excuse to say print more money to balance markets, yet every printing of money episode has resulted in disaster, from before gold debasement in the Roman Empire to WWI & WWII and...

    Massage Parlour recommendation in Bs As?

    All the best massages I've had of the legitimate kind have been Chinese but how do you find something like that here without an unexpected happy ending?

    Selling on Mercadolibre

    Hang on, you sent $800 to someone you didn't know. False ID won't be a problem for the Mafia. People here think that ID protects them in some way but actually carrying that ID around is a liability. If it gets lost or copied what are you going to do about it? I find it very hard work with...

    Rent a room for a day or 2

    I'm looking for both; somewhere to store some tools and somewhere to do some soldering for example. Regards the officespace link, I guess it would be expensive (no prices so I always assume it must be too expensive), it seems more designed for meetings, no storage space so I'd have to...

    Free energy.

    Magnetism is the same as electricity, which is matter in a certain form. You can switch between all these. I was a bit disappointed nobody said "How do we know the magnetism of the magnet isn´t just being taken out?" I´d like to take a quartz crystal, pair it with a load of other crystals for...

    Rent a room for a day or 2

    We live in a very small apartment and there´s no room for me to work on any projects. It´s so much hassle to move, possibly 10,000 pesos in bills. It would be really handy if I could use a room for a day at a time with perhaps just 1m cubed size for long term storage of things like a little...
