Here's how to watch Netflix (or any other restricted service) outside the USA: http://www.ghacks.net/2006/05/01/howto-watch-abc-tv-streams-outside-the-usa/ A word of caution: the article describes a concept that uses anonymous proxy servers. Never use anonymous proxy servers to check emails...

Melting adapters are never a good thing. Did you let the smoke out? Electrical components always stop working when you let the smoke out. :rolleyes: Mini is right, netflix blocks access outside of the USA. You can trick netflix into thinking that you're still in the USA using technical slight...

Stand your ground on principle. If you withold rent for a while she will quickly come to you and when she does you will have the opportunity to negotiate airconditioner repair. If she is dodgy, isn't the owner or is otherwise breaking the law (renting in 'negro'), she's unlikely to commence...

Fibertel price for 3Mega: Modem is free, installation is 60 pesos, 89 pesos for the first 6 months, 120 pesos for the remaining 6 months and then 145 pesos per month after that. I'm from Australia and even 145 pesos per month is cheap by comparison...

I prefer fibertel but use arnet because my building does not have the fibertel cables. Their service is good a reliable without any imposed download limits. I installed WiFi myself by purchasing a router from mercado-libre and connected it to the modem provided by arnet. Other than the purchase...

Hi All I'm an IT professional and would like to meet other professionals here in Buenos Aires to chat about technology, work opportunities and other geeky stuff. You know what I'm talking about :) Anyway, if you're interested, respond here or send me a PM and I'll organise a get together...

If you use banco piano you may have your money before the end of the week.... in US dollar notes. www.bancopiano.com.ar - San Martín 345 downtown and the one on Ave Cabildo in Belgrano. They provide you with a US based bank account with Bank of America. You transfer the money with your...

I went the other day and paid 120 pesos per person. It's a HUGE serving so unless your very hungry I suggest sharing with your partner. If you share, you pay an extra 15 pesos for the second tea.... all up 135 pesos. P.S. You need to ask for whipped cream with the scones otherwise they just...

The fact that the doctors spoke reasonable English at otamendi was a real bonus. The medical insurance companies here seem to be quite flexible but it's more about profit and less about health. You could try to negotiate a financial arrangement with them. If you can't get pregnant for two...

Congratulations on your pregnancy. I have experienced the excellent service and attention from Swiss Medical - sanitorio otamendi here in Buenos Aires whose doctors saved the life of my wife and daughter a few years ago. My wife was diagnosed with preclampsia at 36 weeks, an unexplained...

In Australia we have a fairly efficient rental system. The bond paid is one months rent. It is paid to a legislative instument called the rental bond board, the 'keeper' of the bond. Contracts are clear and there is a standard contract used by all leases. The standard contract keeps legal costs...

I haven't read everybodys replies to your question so am sure to duplicate the good advice already given. I have a bank account overseas and a bank account here. I regulary transfer money into Argentina using Banco Piano and while a little expensive, it's much quicker than an international...

Ditto to DanP's comments... it was a good night and Palermo Hollywood really goes off Saturday nights.

I'll be there.

The phrase "paris of latin america" to me was never meant to be a direct comparison of the two cities but rather a statement of their uniqueness... they both stand out from the surrounding 'scenery' in similar but unique ways. The truth is that I don't really know because both cities are quite...

Hi All After much searching I've found that for now, Cirrus Networked ATM's will issue much larger sums than the 300 pesos per transaction from Banelco Networked ATM's. 98% of the ATM's in Argentina are Banelco networked so I avoid them like the plague. Not only are they a security risk, it...

MrBart I made the move solo, packed all my belongings into a shipping container and set sail for Buenos Aires. That was 4 years ago, I'm still here and plan to be here for many years to come. If you seek adventure, change and would like to experience a universe where the laws of nature have...
