Hey folks, I am aware that this subject gets brought up a lot on this forum, and I'm not here to gripe about the complications surrounding the movement of dollars in and out of the country. However, I have a friend who needs to send money, dollars more specifically, to an account abroad, and...

Hi folks, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good kinesiologist in Retiro or el centro. I was going to one in Caballito but for me it is much too far to travel for the amount I was paying. Please let me know if you have any recommendations. Thanks

The people here are stylish - it doesn't really matter whether it's good style, bad style, hipster, professional etc... I like the style and therefore add it as another item on my list of gustos en Argentina. If others disagree then we hold different opinions on a very objectively unimportant...

Autumn Mate in the park with friends... Cool late Autumn days with the leaves falling from the trees under a cloudy sky Taking coffee for several hours with a good friend Crema Americana in summer Not being able to relate to tourists The (good) street art The quiet of Caballito Picadas and vino...

I'm sorry, but while we do have the wonderfully red state of Kentucky in our blessed union, we are sadly lacking in the deliciously rich and decadent mozzarrella lathered Kentucky pizza of fame. I fear I could never give up a good mozzarrella at 7 in the morning. Yanquilandia will have to wait...

Just to put some closure on this topic, and for anyone else in the future who can't locate a package or letter, I went down to my local Correo and told them I was looking for a package that had arrived a month ago and if they could send me in the right direction. They gave me a number to call...

I'm glad I'm not the only one with this situation, so I know it's not my incompetence with the postal system ^_^ Normally I never have things sent to my address, because I doubt they would ever arrive, perhaps it would be better if I have it sent to an "official" business address? I've heard of...

Hey expat type folks, I'm currently looking for a physical therapist to work through some old sports injuries that have been bothering me off and on for several years now. If anyone has any recommendations on a certified physical therapist who can help to establish a therapy routine it would...

That's okay, thank you for all the advice you've given me! I thought it was strange too that the correo website was talking about this slip of paper that I need to bring to the local post office, when no slip of paper existed. All I've received at home are bill payments - love those B) I think...

I would agree with Nikad, you won't be paid nearly as much for the same work here as you would in the US, or many other countries for that matter. Unless of course you work remote, in which case you could live a fairly carefree living by earning dollars, euros, etc... from work abroad. This is...

Thanks for the reply Lucha54. The problem is I never received a form and thus don't know where the envelope disappeared to. My family gave me the tracking number and I checked the number on the official correo central webpage and it didn't say much except that an attempt to deliver the package...

Hi folks, I've had a card sent to me from abroad and after checking on the official Correo website I've learned that it arrived and that two attempts were made to deliver it. The problem is the website doesn't say where I can go to pick up the package. It says that I've been notified the...

Thanks everyone! I normally do the buquebus but after looking at the prices it seemed Colonia Express was cheaper. I'll probably take 130 down then hitch a taxi back to town when I get back, not sure how much money I'll actually be saving. Thanks again for all the replies.

Hi folks, Normally I take the buquebus but after seeing the fees on their website I opted to go for Colonia Express for a brief holiday this weekend. I've been told that Colonia Express departs from Darsena Norte in the morning and arrives in Darsena Sur in the evening, however the website...

I was just wondering about this issue as well. Thanks for all the feedback.

Otherwise there are plenty of places that offer similar quality on Santa Fe, just walk a bit and do some exploring.

Don't know the exact place... and I don't know what you consider affordable, but I just bought a very nice pair of leather dress shoes from a place called Oggi, they were about $900 pesos, but if you're going to buy dress shoes buy a pair you can grow old with :) ... the store has quality...

If you smoke the stuff several times a month it might be worth investing in a hookah. There is a Syrian shop on Scalabrini Ortiz and Cabrera that sells everything you would need, and the prices are reasonable. I split the cost for the merchandise with a friend it came to $600 pesos for...

The masses kept in ignorance. Observe a great example of the blame game being played for problems that go far beyond a single individual's decision-making power. You cannot blame individual people for a faulty system, especially if it is the leader diverting responsibility for a country's...

The victim and perpetrator narrative is perhaps the most widely told story historically speaking. Why stop using it when it works so well and temporarily assuages the emotions of so many people? Of course it may not always be rational, but rationality isn't necessarily truth. Truth is created...
