Jumping on this thread instead of opening a new one. I got my precaria on April 4. I had to go back a few weeks ago because I had a "fallante"--idiots didn't scan my passport properly--not that I'm bitter or anything ;-) Anyway, it's May 16. I have been here since February so I am anxious to...

I might be able to buy some things from you if you can post some pictures and prices :-) (I know that's not necessarily the answer to your question)

Any thoughts on the electric blanket?

My mac ended up powering up again and it's performing mas o menos... but then my charger wasn't working at all and I had to go buy a new one from Mercado Libre and pick it up in Once for $1,200 ARS. ... having apple products here kinda sucks. Especially when they are older like mine :-(

What about a heated/electric blanket? I wouldn't be buying these things. They are things that I already have in the states that I don't want to spend money on here. So far the cheapest coffee pot I have found was 900 pesos... and it wasn't even a fancy one. On the other hand, in the US, I can...

You will need to make an appointment through the website: http://www.dnrec.jus.gov.ar/InicioTramite/ Then, you go to the office closest to your address for your appointment. You will have to present your documents and pay. Then they will take your prints and depending on which option you...

Thanks for replying. This computer is oooold--9 years old and counting. It has had 2 or 3 hard drive replacements and has accompanied in all my travels on three different continents. I am pretty sure the current hard drive is under warranty--state side that is <_< ). Having said that, I was not...

The worst part is being out on the street... because there is truly very little you can do about them. Other than putting on off... but even then--these guys are vicious! My bedroom window opens to a big tree, so I have just kept it closed and I use the little plug in raid things. I bought one...

I went to Almacen de pizzas a while ago... I was disappointed. The crust was very hard and my knife wasn´t doing the job to cut it... However, my friend found the most amazing restaurant EVER recently. It is called Syntaxis http://www.sintaxispalermo.com/ Everything is gluten free and it is...

Thanks, everyone! I will check these guys out... Any suggestions on buying a new internal hard drive?

It has been one tragedy after another... (that´s a little dramatic... but there´s definitely been no shortage of obstacles for me this time around) In a nutshell: my macbook pro decided to take a turn for the worse and will no longer turn on. No idea why. I found a few places that look at...

Hi, ladies! A friend of mine is getting married stateside first week of June and I still have to get my bridesmaids dress altered! Any suggestions of where to go? So far I have only checked out a few places that do "arreglos de ropa" but none of them do "vestidos de fiesta". The material is...

Sure! Sorry for the delay; just now seeing this. The term ¨residencia¨ is somewhat ambiguous/vague because it could be a number of things. I explain it in English as a kind of ¨dorm¨in that it is a shared space (usually for university students) that is more affordable. For similar prices, I...

This. Tal cual. Everyone complains about the corruption in the country, but continues to be corrupt themselves.

I hope it´s okay to jump on this thread with a similiar yet different question. I have my CUIL and I have my precaria, just waiting on my DNI now. I read somewhere (maybe here http://www.notilogia.com/2016/09/como-abrir-una-cuenta-bancaria-en-argentina-para-inmigrantes.html) that with the CUIL...

I got my precaria yesterday!!!!! =D I feel like celebrating! I am "extra mercosur" and it cost $2000 for the visa (student) + $60 for my DNI. Expensive butttttt it's a logro! (Prices in ARS/pesos)

I pay 5000 ARS ($325 USD) a month in a really nice residencia--and that includes all costs--maintenance, expensas (electricity, etc), literally everything. It is possible. You might not find an apartment that cheap but I have seen some nicer ones for $5500 - $6000 ARS even. You just have to be...

Hello. Una consulta... I am going back home in June for a few days and have a few electrodomestics that I can't really afford here right now (i.e. coffee pot, toaster, crock pot) Is it worth it to bring those things over here (from US)? Is it possible to use them successfully... maybe with the...

Yes... so hard to find tortillas! ((If one more person invites me for "tacos" with flour tortillas...!!!)) I am going to start making them by hand... because I can't handle the withdrawals. And I agree, Fábrica del taco should be banned! I went there the other day in desperation... and I was...

Excellent comment!
