Untrue, I know someone who works for Argentina's equivalent to the CIA.

I'm with the Hospital Alemán too. My gyno is Dr. Enrique Muller. His office is in Recoleta. Very nice, very professional. His number is 4822-1535. For a full list of doctors affiliated with the Hospital Alemán, go to their website and click on Cartilla Médica. You can schedule appointments...

Wow, thanks for posting the link to the crime map, Nikad. I just found out that someone in my building is a known coke/pot dealer! That explains why the hallway always smells like weed and why the guy downstairs has so many ''friends'' stopping by all the time.

I just passed through customs at EZE last week and had no problems at all. I just plopped my bags through the scanner y listo. The official didn't even take my declaration form! I don't think it made much of a difference, but I did make sure to remove price tags and to not travel with any...

Oh, I just realized you had posted about last week's game. Well, now you have the low-down for this week :)

The Packer game tomorrow is being aired on Fox, so ESPN Deportes is not showing it, unfortunately. I checked the local listings for Fox Sports but it looks like they are only showing soccer. I'm going to try my luck on the chat boards at justin.tv tomorrow at game time - I can usually get live...

Make sure you get the Keratin treatment and not the formol (formaldehyde) one, which is technically illegal here in Argentina, for obvious reasons.

Don't use Rexona! It's like putting no deodorant on at all. The only halfway decent deodorant here is Nivea 24h Dry (they have a men's and women's version).

A fan? Most temporary rentals have air conditioning. Make sure you check before renting. It is ESSENTIAL in the summertime here.

Wow, that is just nuts. I'm lucky I have all of that stuff out of the way.

Mine was sent to my US permanent address in about 3 weeks. I just wrote ''Please Expedite'' on the outside of the envelope.

Mmmm....not quite, Lucas. The US is not the only country that does not regard America as one giant continent. Since you're such a fan of Wikipedia, see for yourself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continent The seven-continent model is usually taught in China and most English-speaking countries...

FYI - the position closed two days ago.

Uruguay is obsessed with it too. It would be interesting to know what the attitude towards the issue is in other Latin American countries.

Heinz and Campbell's are American brands ;)

Hi there, you may want to create a new thread for this post. Not sure if you'll get a lot of coverage in the ''Heinz Baked Beans'' thread. I think your best bet would be to rent a temporary apartment. If you search through the forum posts, you'll come across a lot of helpful links. Best of luck!

I use Skype to call the US from Buenos Aires all the time and never have problems.

I'm an American married to an Argentine man. A few months after our wedding, I went to immigrations and applied for permanent residency. About 2-3 months later I was officially granted residency and given 2 years to apply for my DNI. I finally applied for the DNI back in February and just...

Skip PDE and definitely go somewhere in Rocha. Punta del Diablo is lovely, as is La Pedrera.
