18 Holidays this year, 15 of which fall M-F.

FWIW, I've been using the Ministerio de Interior website for years (to manage holidays for our employee), and it has always been up to date; even updated quickly after new holidays are announced.

I don't know of an app, but you can get the list online from the gov't source here: http://www.mininterior.gov.ar/asuntos_politicos_y_alectorales/dinap/feriados.php?idName=asuntos&idNameSubMenu=DiNAP&idNameSubMenuDer=DirNAPFeriados#feriados/feriados2012.php Be sure to use the drop down to...

hmm... I don't think so. This holiday was announced as far back as november of last year. It is a one-time holiday to commemorate the national flag's bi-centennial.

I second Royal China... Their food is good and their chef is from Hong Kong. From time to time they do Groupons for lunch and dinners. The lunch ones are good, and priced at $71 pesos (reg. $238) for 2 persons that include 1 appetizer, 2 entrees, desert and drink. They don't deliver tho.

What you probably want is an "Ortopeda" that will know what to do with foot injuries, and not a Podiatrist. My partner went to Dr. Sperone for an injury (http://www.citot.com.ar/equipo.html) and he was good, but speaks no English.

True. In the case of my friend, the bills were not on his name. It was just a formality, and they only wanted something with the address on it. But your mileage may vary.

again, residency to open a bank account is not required AFAIK, but if you want to go that route see my post on this other thread: http://baexpats.org/expat-life/20386-dni-work-visa.html#post151725 :)

Residency or DNI is not required by all banks. You just have to find a bank willing to work with you. I helped a friend in November get an account at Banco Frances. As a non-resident foreigner, the will likely ask you for your passport, a CDI number (tax payer ID), which you can obtain at...

yes, if you qualify for the requirements. see the different types of residency visas here for more info: http://www.migraciones.gov.ar/accesibleingles/?nomercosur_temporaria

Have you tried Skype? If you have a computer and internet at home you can install it for free and make free calls and video calls. If she does not have access to a computer, you can also buy a phone number from any of several european countries and she can then call you at that number and it...

I'm curious... where in PM have you seen robberies? .. I read about the armed robbery at the exchange house here last year, but I'm not aware of others.

@katti; that could very well be the issue. I remember getting 3g service here when it was the "new" thing, and there were barely any 3g handsets offered here. The service was faster than what I'd experienced in the USA. But as time went by, it seems the networks are now overflowed with...

I've noticed over the last year the 3g and cell service from Claro has gotten bad for me. Sometimes I don't get service while in the city and have had to reboot my F.U. iPhone to get it to register, but even then it may not work. I think it used to be better before, but this is just anecdotal...

yup.... someone cleanup the spam off this thread please. :)

hmm... This has been covered here ad-nauseum before... It's pretty straight forward; (a) Brazil visa requirements are based on citizenship. If you are a *citizen* of a country that Brasil requires visas from, then you need to apply and obtain a visa to enter Brasil. It doesn't matter if you...

Shhh.... lets keep that a secret ;):D

We normally buy from the Jumbo and Avicar in Puerto Madero, but have also ordered online from http://www.talloverde.com/ and http://www.mercadopremium.com/

The city's web site is good too: http://bue.gov.ar/?lang=en
