Hehe based on the "however" in the previous statement i assumed you were trying to disagree with me.

Like I said, wage statistics in the US are 100% irrelevant as we are talking about a country that is not the US. You just proved my point, actually, on how arrogant/ridiculous it is for Americans to come here, knowing that the salaries are much, much lower here on average, and expecting to get...

<sigh> do you really think the cost of living here is the same as in america? even if it were, it's really arrogant of americans to move to another country and then expect to be paid the same they were paid before. i dont understand what the wages of a mcdonalds worker in america have to do with...

everyone calm down. the subject line clearly says US$10.

I think the only problem might be in the processing time. For example I submitted all my paperwork and didnt find out for 2 months that they required some change in my work contract. I just dont think they review all the docs in such a short amount of time.

hey all, looks like our favorite public transport site is expanding to cover most of the metropolitan BA area, at last! lots of other improvements listed on the site as well (currently in beta). Just saw the news on twitter and wanted to share as i know its a pretty common question how to search...

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: i also wear white and bright colors after labor day.

nevermind. found millions on mercado libre

after being yelled at too many times by some fashion conscious friends for wearing white socks, I went to alto palermo in search of some basic solid colored dark socks, and all I could find were crazy designed pairs, a few to choose from in each store, for $80-100 a pair. Anyone know any place...

This is a great question. Im trying to figure out what to do in my case that i currently have a temp DNI through work, but will be applying next time for rentista - not sure if its considered a "renewal" or a new visa, or if there is even a difference in the two processes. Also regarding the...

cant speak to the employer vs employee taxes, but yes, its true about the foreign earned income tax or whatever its called. I just recently received a pretty nice little federal tax income return based on that. I did work with a tax guy who specifically deals with expats and knows all the ins...

I've gotten tattoos at Skull Tattoo and with an artist from Lc Ink (but not actually at the shop) and have lots of friends who go to DS Tattoo and Welldone Tattoo as well with great results.

anyone? anyone? bueller?

Hey all, so as it looks like Im going to be staying for a while but not with my current job, I'm looking to apply for a rentista visa as I have a house that I rent in the states that should cover the requirements. I understand that there seems to be lots of speculation that the min requirement...

Ha, I actually feel the opposite, that now being on the outside I think the "American Dream" is a total sham. Sure, I did just fine as a white middle-classer but it's much harder/almost impossible for people of other backgrounds. EDIT: just read the post above from EricLovesBA, and yes, I...

haven't read the whole thread but wanted to share a few great artists/bands I've discovered very recently that are more on the indie/experimental side of the house rather than the more typical argentine rock. they all sing in english so won't be much help with your spanish if that's what you're...

Not too sure about the events but I'm pretty sure that it's fairly empty during the week (just a few people there with computers getting some work or having some lunch) but pretty packed on the weekends. But I think the idea is that you can socialize and meet people there! It is a nice place...

A few things Im not so sure of tho And what about the people who have to travel when the Subte isnt running overnight? I do like most of your ideas, though some of them seem extremely cost-prohibitive (multi-level viaducts, underwater tunnels to La Plata). But man, there does need to be some...

thanks for the info -- very interesting option to possibly just do it now and be done with it. will have to check into the pros/cons of residency vs citizenship.

I know you mentioned it before but thought it may have been a typo - I can REALLY apply for citizenship, having only been here for a year and a half and with temporary residency that was approved for 1 year only, and only just in November? I thought it was similar to permanent residency that...
