I didn't bring my car from Miami because the import tax was incredibly expensive. Another thing to consider is if you have a car that will be easy to service and that parts will be readily available for. I would recommend you sell your car before coming here. I don't know where you plan on...

Typically to open a bank account here you will need a CDI. It is the same document you would need to buy a property or car. Essentially it's a tax number. Once you have your CDI you will only be allowed to open a savings account for which Banco Rio is pretty good. In reality you don't need to...

NYCgirl, we moved here almost three months ago with 2 dogs 2 cats, and 5 suitcases in one trip. On a previous trip we brought and left with someone, three additional bags filled with other things we wanted to bring. Then when we left Miami, I left whatever books I couldn't bring with me, with my...

Hi Jennifer, I just sent you a private message. Laura

One of my friends in Recoleta also recommended California Burrito company. It's on Lavalle 441 between Requonqista and San Martin waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay downtown. We made the mistake of trying to drive near there yesterday just to see approximately whre it was for a different day as well and to...

I can also recommend the woman who signed us up for Medicus which we have been happy with. I have been particularly happy since I'm pregnant and had to visit the dr and hospital several times.

I also must be a snob, because I am one of those people who sorely misses REAL cheddar cheese. No, I don't have to stock up on things that can be bought here although I certainly have some things that I miss and try to get when I can. I think it comes down to things that you grew up with and...

I guess you guys must not go to many websites that are done here, because the number of errors in 99% of the sites is hideous. But remember, although this doesn't excuse people, a lot of the sites being marketed are done by Argentines who usually use an Argentine translator and not a native...

Until you purchase a car here, you can get away with your international drivers license or as in our case, we just use our U.S. drivers licenses since my husband's French int. license has expired.We have rented here in BA numerous times, as well as in Mendoza, only with our US licenses. In...

I also have a blog I've kept about moving to argentina. http://movingtoargentina.typepad.comwe also paid our rent up front with out a guarantor and got a fabulous house in the suburb for more than 1200 dollars less than the asking price so you just have to search high and low and you can find...

bucky, did you ever find a place or have you already traveled?laura

Hi, I found a couple of american chiropracters that have an office here. http://www.vidachiropractic.com/ I've heard they're quite good and I plan to try them outLaura

In addition to what's been written, you need to know how much power is being pulled to run your appliance. Some only require a small amount of electricity, while others such as a blowdryer can pull up to 1600 watts at a time and will blow out a small transformer. Look for a tranformer that will...

I have done extensive posts on my blog about moving with your pets. American Airlines IS THE WORST in my opinion. They recommended I buy my tickets and then call them back and book my pets, which as Slush mentioned is not guaranteed. Only they never bothered to tell me that. After a horrible day...

If you want, drop me an email at [email protected] Since we're going through the same search but will be in BA this coming week, I'd be happy to share any things I find that might be useful for you as well. I've got several possiblities already.

Hi slush, I just sent you a note with some questions. Thanks

Please let me be the first to say that I am not a disillusioned expat. My original intent was to answer Mr. Wolf's question about what we "westerners" find so enchanting about Argentina. I do not suppose to say that it is without MAJOR issues. Anyone who thinks that is sorely confused about my...

oops...guess this post under "big bad wolf" was written by another big bad wolf...must be a few of you running around in this site... "How exactly should I go about the process of obtaining Argentinian immigration? I'm a British citizen with an American Green Card, and I want to do everything...
