    Also forgot to ask if today's protest seems like it will have turn out. It's been planned for months but the folks I know fired up about the last protest have been quiet.

    Tweets: Cfk In Response To Obama Reelection/protest Mañana?

    Did anyone notice that aside from one errant tweet referring to 'lies and manipulation' that the Presidenta was quite presidential in response to Obama's win yesterday? http://wander-argentina.org/2012/11/president-kirchner-congratulates-obama-on-reelection/ Meanwhile Macri was acting like a...

    As A Foreigner, Buying An Apartment In Federal Capital?

    Sometimes I'm amazed at the range of experiences (and prices) among foreigners in Argentina. I bought from the owner and the only legal fees were AR$2000 for the escritura. By now escribana fees have probably gone up to AR$5000 though.

    As A Foreigner, Buying An Apartment In Federal Capital?

    A lot of foriegners have property here, not a problem at all to buy. If you need a loan that's another story. And yes you can sell, it's just a little complicated at the moment and you lose money on the conversion but nothing is impossible in Argentina.

    What to do about construction next door?

    I have been dealing with same problem for years, in my case the main problem was noise and workers walking all over my roof, which had new membrane on it. Finally reported it when they did damage to my apartment. You don't need to go anywhere. Just call 147. They will send a city inspector. He...

    Seven years

    Wow the sentiment in your original post echoes my feelings exactly in an essay I wrote 'Mi Amor y Desamor Argentino,' which has to do with falling in and out of love with a person and Argentina. Terrific love story with a happy ending your though! Weirdly I've seen your lady before somewhere...

    Black Market Rate Where?

    Worth keeping in mind that Queso is a 'veteran,' obvious tourists do sometimes get screwed, at least I've heard a couple of stories. A friend goes to 'La City' all the time. http://wander-argentina.com/money-exchange-hustles-on-florida-st/

    No two people -- but with olive oil and spices, garlic and drink it works out to about Ar20.

    6 peso diet

    Tonights healthy dinner: vegetables 16 pesos, bag of slighty healthier 'made with spinach' pasta, 10 pesos. Could have bought brown rice instead of pasta which is 5.50 a bag, so yeah 20 pesos can be done, but that's just dinner and maybe one piece of fruit. Six pesos is what one avocado costs...

    is this the right time to buy a flat in Argentina?

    I'm selling a two bedroom in San Telmo, in a rapidly gentrifying area. I know it's not the time to sell, but I've been here a long time and am ready to go — but I want to sell to a foriegner and owner direct is best for both parties to avoid the real estate agency fees. I sent you a pm. Any one...

    Bersuit Concert Free Mañana to Support El Borda

    Thanks Montauk. I hear tale of the dentistry but don't know much about it. If the city suceeds in their plans these folks are going to be in a bad state because they really need someone to oversee their treatment.

    Planning on moving abroad to Argentina with boyfriend

    US $1,000 per month is about right. I can give you some anecdotes about the nature of the racism. I was dating a black guy from NYC. We went to a bar and a guy pointed at him and yelled out 'Ey! Kunta Kinte!' Lordy. Similarly a girlfriend who is Indian but looks like she's of African...
