Well actually I think it is not 2x the price but only 1.5x for foreigners. I have mixed feelings about that double pricing. After all, Aerolineas got quite a bit of the argentine taxpayer´s money. Nevertheless I really don´t understand why they discriminate in business class too. By the way...

I wasn´t that ironic this time. Seriously, what do you think will cause more victims: Colectivos violating some rules but at least having experienced drivers, or a much larger number of individual cars driving as crazy but with less experienced drivers. It is just not as easy as making...

Yes it is true that bus drivers get a bonus each time they arrive at the terminal. If you go i.e. until Retiro or Correo Central (which are common places for colectivos to terminate), you will see that after arriving the driver goes to a kiosk to report (and after that, get something to drink...

UBA site is now saying that the inscripciones are still on until the 20th of august. Not sure whether it is just for some languages or for all. See http://www.idiomas.filo.uba.ar/index_html Checked the page today because I had a message in my voicemail that the course I wanted to do is...

Most phones (including the Desire I think) don´t fully support the 3G bands here. Just the 2G. So you might not always get the optimal speed (but on the other side, 3G here is not what I am used to from my home country either). If you don´t get any data connection at all, you have to add the...

I recommend to use busy points for re-entering the country. Just a comparison (I arrived May 6th so was not in danger): Entry from Colonia in July (handled by customs officials from both countries sitting next to each other, in Colonia port): Ferry supposed to leave at 16:30 but it was almost...

Generally it is a good thing to have clear laws. For me it comes unfortunate because I arrived 3 months ago, planning to stay 9 months in total, therefore never caring about getting a decent temporary recidence because even argentine lawyers told me not to waste money on that if I don´t even...

When I was 16 I spent two weeks in Paris with school. My teacher's handbag got mugged twice in the subway and I for myself saw two ocassions where mobile phones were snatched right out of the hands of someone. All that within less than 14 days! When the french exchange students came to Austria...

I'd like to keep the topic on track. We only have to get one single northern italian and one single southern italian and that thread is hijacked :-) Let's sum it up as that there are cultural and economic differences within italy and everybody who compares something to italy should be aware of...

Hehe, well actually I was born to my Austrian parents in France. I have Austrian nationality (since birth I think). I would have had the possibility to switch to French nationality when I got 18 but I did not want to (double citizenship was not possible). My parents told me that customs was no...

EDIT: Ignore what I posted below. After some more research, I got the impression that the procedures are actually so slow, that a good part of my 8 month stay would have passed by the time I'd actually get the DNI, rendering the stated below irrelevant. Thanks for the detailed reply...

I figured it would be best to ask my questions here instead of opening a new topic, since it is closely related: Is rentista of use when I plan to stay for i.e. 8 months (since it demands proof of rent for 3 years)? What kind of proof do they really want? I had a hard time finding explanations...

In Paseo Alcorta shopping there is also a printing service. Right next to the exit of some supermarket I think. Was 4 pesos for 4 pages and I paid with 4 coins à 1 peso, he was so happy about it :-)
