    How Safe Really Is Ba?

    Figured as much based on Joe's history of funny posts, but this is Argentina after all.... anything is possible. :)

    Verizon "global Phone" Not So Global.

    Have you called Verizon to see if they can give you any setup instructions, or an unlock code for the GSM feature? Sometimes these phones need to download carrier settings for data 3g and MMS to work. This is usually an automatic download when you pop in the chip, but you may need to manually...

    How Safe Really Is Ba?

    wow... do you remember what street that was? there's still some prefectura around, so it's a bit surprising.

    Flying a cat FROM Argentina TO the USA

    We bought our tickets on Jan 17th with United, and purchased our cat's in-cabin ticket that day as well. No issues with United, though I wish I had known about Delta's in-cabin policy beforehand, since that's a better route for us.

    Shipping Pets Requires A Private Company? Is This True?

    Is Delta allowing in-cabin pets now? The few times we looked into it before, they told us not allowed. That's the main reason we are using United now, but would definitely switch to Delta if we can do in-cabin.

    Shipping Pets Requires A Private Company? Is This True?

    Hmm... On your other post you said this was for a cat, so why not bring it on board with you in the cabin? United allows in-cabin, so long it is a small pet, you have the vet/health paperwork in order, a carrier that meets the requirements and pay the cat's USD $125 (each way) ticket...

    Buying A Plane Ticket In Cash (Blue Pesos) To Save Money?

    Wanted to share a bit about buying tickets in pesos... We just bought two RT tickets (AR > US) with United online and went to their local office to pay for it in pesos yesterday. No issues, the online checkout process adds the 35% to the total automatically (still, we saved just over USD $700...

    Argentine Mirage F1 Buy Reportedly Stalls

    I don't disagree much with what you call the 'weapons mafia', but there are countries that have 'escaped' by abolishing their military like Costa Rica or Panama, or by not having one at all.

    Foreigners (Tourists & Non-Res) Cannot Use Ars For Travel

    :D thx, but the emoticon was just a reaction to someone using the term "illegal" himself, and then stating the incorrectness of the term, to someone else, just a few minutes later.

    Domestic Help How Much Is Right?

    That's for hourly (part time) workers... the ones who that might do 10 ~ 20 hours a week, if booked. Remember many housekeepers are not full-time salaried, working for a single family. Many work multiple households doing a few hours here and there, and never reach anything close to 173 hours...

    Domestic Help How Much Is Right?

    Yes, the employer always pays makes the $135 payment to AFIP. I wasn't referring to deductions from impuesto a las ganancias, etc. What I was referring to, is how this is declared on the F.102/B form and receipts (i.e., the breakdown of that $135). A portion of that $135 is deducted from the...

    Domestic Help How Much Is Right?

    FWIW... My understanding is that the going rate in Puerto Madero is now around $70 ~ $80 per hour. Thought this varies by neighborhood, so it can be lower elsewhere. One savvy mucama once told me that she based her hourly rate on the price of a kilo of milanesa. As in "with one hour's work...

    New Years Eve?!

    There's fireworks and lots people partying in Puerto Madero around the Women's bridge and the diques. They used to have DJ's and outdoor bars a few years back, but I'm not sure they are doing that anymore (we were not here for NYE last year). Happy New Year's!

    Summer And Power Outages,how Well Prepared Are We?

    In all the years we've been here, we've only experience one short outage (3 hours), several years back, and it was scheduled (with prior notice) as a building repair. Haven't had one since then. (knock on wood). The infrastructure here is one of the newest in the city.
