    Dog For Adoption

    Best of luck to you! Thank you so much for taking her in! I am hoping you will be able to find a great family for her and I will spread the word to my friends! We see dogs in the park near us that have collars but no tags and believe them to be "owned" by the paco squatters now living there and...

    How To Deal With Crazy Argentine Neighbors

    If you have already complained to her twice, I would write a letter to the management company explaining your issue. In that letter I would also include a statement about the gym and the fact that you didn't mean to offend anyone and do not drop the weights as claimed. That way you have...

    Are Expats Leaving?

    I can count the problems I have had with NY taxi drivers on my one hand and I lived there for 32 years. When you have to get a taxi in the rain with a baby, a baby carriage and baby things and then you see five free cabs that do not stop because they do not want a carriage in their cab, you will...

    Are Expats Leaving?

    I can see and respect that. Depending on the issue with health care in the US, we may keep our health care here in addition to whatever we have in the US. We will visit family and friends but I have family and we both have friends in the US as well. This is not an easy decision for anyone by...

    A Good Restaurant In Ba? Yes, It's Possible!

    We went to an incredible restaurant, Unik, http://unik.pro/. The chef worked in California for a long time and came out of the kitchen to speak to us because he found out I was from the US. We had the Huevo Cocido as an appetizer and the chef sent out amazing basque morcilla and other goodies...

    Buenos Aires Is More Expensive Than New York, London, Madrid

    I was renting a true one bedroom apartment with eat in kitchen in Brooklyn for the same price as my two bedroom here, however, our salary is a lot less (executive salary), this is NOT NYC. To even think about comparing any of these cities is foolish. Not to mention, not many NY'ers drink...

    Donuts In Ba!

    They are not even close. I prefer Dunkin' Donuts to krispie kreme though...Dunkin' are more cakey. They do have donuts in some panaderias with the facturas. They are common, usually only stuffed with dulce de leche of course.

    Anyone With Experience Opening A Llc Or A Corp In Us?

    Dave is right as usual! (I used to do this as Corporate Secretary for a large financial firm in the US for 10 years.) One place to start is to look at the Delaware Secretary of States website. It really is the easiest state to file in and you will only have to file an annual renewal report...

    Buying Experience At Zara

    This is a new law in which AFIP is tracking how much money you make vs spend to make sure that you are reporting all of your income. Its pretty messed up.

    15 Reason To Hate (Er,... I Could Do Without ) Ba Living...

    I don't know how people can even compare NYC to Buenos Aires - unless you never lived there. The subways in NY are safe and do not smell like piss, the city is congested however all cities are and now there are a lot more pedestrian streets. People in NY obey traffic laws for the most part - I...

    How To Deal With Extremely Aggressive Panhandlers?

    SO you open the door to your apartment and start saying hello to EVERYONE on the steet that passes you by? I know the people in my neighborhood that I am friendly with and we exchange hellos - the people from the cleaners, the vegitable stand, the owners of the empanada store, the panaderia...

    Where Are The Mosquitoes?

    There was a population explosion of dragonflys this year. They eat the larvae of the mosquito. Also, my neighbors have been complaining about the population explosion of bats so that could have driven down the population as well. I was speaking with my husbands Aunt and Uncle and they used to...
