Thanks for the advice. But we have to remember that there have been changes in comparison to august 2009 and can not be sure that it still works like this.

Could you please state the division of the UBA where you went? I wanted to do a course, and besides being about 30 pesos per hour, the course got canceled and getting the money back was really difficult (or almost would have been. After they told me it will take 2 months to give me back my...

Somewhere in this forums I read that they indeed hassle a lot those people who overstay several times. I can't find the posts in those long topics we had a few months ago though but maybe someone remembers as well. So it is not that easy, since lots of people just have to leave the country once...

Well it is not as easy as simply staying. I am going to Sao Paulo on wednesday, my 88th day. and something like my 170th in total. Obviously I want to come back and stay another 3 months a week later. So I am interested in the buzz on that topic as well. Also, one big difference I see between...

I don't think there are many places outside El Calafate to stay at. It is incredibly small. I stayed at this place: http://www.hosteriapostasur.com.ar/ It was alright, I liked the room. Downside was that they almost messed up my reservation for the tour to the glacier. It is 5 minutes on foot...

I was in Hotel Foeva last weekend: http://www.hotelfoeva.com/ The 2-person room cost us 160 AR$ per night (the upcoming long weekend has slightly higher rates though). Of course it was not beautiful but it was very clean and quiet and above all, very economic. Perfect for somebody who does not...

Apart from that, SMS might be relayed to be sent from a provider in Argentina. In this case the +54 11 xxxx xxxx would be the way to go. You should be able to cross out the +54 15 ... from your list since I never saw that. Seems to me that 15 is only used without country prefix. With country...

No you don't need a contract for internet. Just send "act im7" to the number 152 to activate 7 days of internet (2gb traffic limit) for currently 19 pesos if you are using personal telecom with prepaid. There is one more thing: You need the access point (APN) settings. I don't know how you do...

Forget buying phones here in Argentina. You won't believe how much they cost. Example: http://www.personal.com.ar/personalblack/individuos/iphone.html It is the old iPhone 3Gs, costs 475 USD with a 12-month contract of 50 USD/month. I can't give recomendations on what is the best way to obtain...

Thanks for the update french jurist, I did not know that legislation indeed changed. It is pretty difficult to figure out such stuff since employees in banks, etc. are not much help. For example I was told I can not get an usb-stick + chip for mobile internet with personal without a DNI. Then I...

Well I have no bank account here but I was thinking about making one and the information I gathered is the following 1.) Apparently applying for the rentista visa requires a bank account here. So there is definately no law forbidding to open an account without DNI. Banks can obviously demand it...

To me it is new that the domain would be important for search-engine-optimization. Nevertheless, I'd use a domain that fits: 1.) .com and .net are basically always okay. They are not attached to any countries or types of business. .com means "commercial" but nobody cares about it, so if you are...

Well, I'll post my experience with Personal Telecom: 1.) Speed: horrible 2.) Reliability: very bad (sometimes does not work at all or has lots of disconnects) 3.) Price: horrible (prepaid 50 pesos a week, but I figured out that the data package for smartphones works with the data-stick as well...

Well I don't believe you. But on the other side, with 15 million people in GBA, there must be people of all imaginable kinds :-) For me, eventhough I am young, it is a lot of stress. i.e. I could not imagine working as a taxi driver for 10hs every day. I have to say that, in general, I am a...

Firstly thanks to Liam for the report and greetings from the Gerli-locality in Avellaneda. To me it seems that there really are not many expats here :-) @gsi: What you describe is similar to my experience. At the land-based borders, they are more strict than when entering by plane or boat. When...

I wanted to ask here, if somebody can guide me to the page where the discussion goes back to the original topic. Well, I did not and actually flipped through all the pages myself just to see that the discussion actually has not returned to the topic. So can you please discuss in a different...

I killed 7 mosquitos so far in the past few days. Neighbour has a pool that he does not care about. Water is more green than blue. Everybody hates him for that but apparently you can´t force him to care about it.

I am a little bit less pessimistic 1.) In comparison to "developed" countries like USA, most of the EU, etc. Argentina has ridicioulously low debt. 2.) They have a lot of land and natural resources (especially if you don´t take absolute numbers, but put it into relation with population) which is...

On the topic of the UBA: I was at the office for the refund. Told me it takes 2 months and I have to come again personally after that time. They assumed that I won´t be able to do that and tried to convince me to switch to another course. Paid with credit card, so I informed the issuer of my...

Is it really good or are you just advertising it because (according to their homepage) you get 10$ for each referral. Normal link to starting page (without telling them that nikad referred you): http://www.groupon.com.ar/deals/buenos_aires
