Thanks for the heads-up on the testicles, Kurt.

I’m leaving BA in 4 weeks after 18 months here, and am selling some great stuff. Watch this space for a sale date/location coming soon. In the meantime, I am giving advance notice of a special item. I purchased this display in Canada mid-2010, new from the Apple Store. It is in perfect...

No, I'm certain that ByT has them beat.

Thanks Joe. I found a source in Vancouver for it, but not my brand of course and ridonculously expensive.

I hope so! :) Thanks!

Thanks very much. It just occurred to me that I'll be in transit through the USA. Do you know if it will be a problem there?

Hi all, Does anyone know for sure if this is permitted by the Canadian Border Services Agency? I'm just talking about a couple of 500g bags of supermarket mate in a checked bag. Thanks!

The big thing is not to count on buying any clothes when you get here, unless you want to pay 40% more for poorer quality. And like Mark says, unless you are small-framed you will have a very hard time finding clothes in your size. Miscellaneous things I stock up on when I am in Canada: protein...

May I suggest Don Ernesto in San Telmo (Carlos Calvo 375, tel. 4307-6927)? It's owned by the same people as Desnivel (but I vastly prefer Don Ernesto). I have taken many a visitor there and they loved it -- it is touristy, but consistently good.

I had a huge fight with HSBC Canada. They initially said there would be no service charges at HSBC branches, but I was charged. Then I called them on it and dug up some exclusion for Argentina. I had written confirmation in an email before I left, but it was a huge hassle following up for...

I use ATM's ("Banelco") to access my money in Canada. There is a 1000 peso limit/transaction, but some banks will let you take out a second 1000 pesos right away in a second transaction (and with a second service charge). Banelco will charge 17 pesos for this, and on top of this your bank will...

Is the currency on your site AR Pesos, Australian dollars, or...?

Thanks all for your help. I was able to get in to see Dr. Darling and he was great. I've updated the dental thread here: http://baexpats.org/expat-life/18605-english-dentist.html

I went to see Dr. Darling this past week and highly recommend him. He's a very good dentist, and also a nice guy. The costs were reasonable: 300 pesos to replace a filling (white); 200 pesos for a check-up and cleaning; 1000 pesos for a crown. He speaks perfect English, and his receptionist...

I find Skype highly inconsistent. I use it for at least an hour daily. I have been able to establish connections, but depending on the quality of the connection or with Skype's network (presumably variable according to the amount of traffic), sometimes it's impossible to carry on a normal...

Hi -- thanks, but Dr. Darling was my first choice and he is not answering his phone today...

Hi all, The dentists listed on the forum are not answering their phones or emails. Can someone please recommend a dentist -- preferably one who speaks English, and preferably one located in Palermo. I lost a filling last night and it's not much fun! Thanks.
