I think the key is to make it seem as though it is their idea. Don't tell them what to do, just suggest how it is done where you come from. Also, identifying "forward thinking Argies" to spread the message seems to be effective.

OSDE is about 591 pesos per month and seems to work fine for us.

Why not receive it online and save a tree?

Not to be a buzz kill, but you may not be as close as you think to residency visa. In our experience, presenting everything translates into a precario, not a visa, while they review everything. I am sure others can chime in.

The Patagonia brand beer isn't quite a microbrew IMO.

Well something really important to consider is the way to assist. We have found many Argies don't want to here how to do things from gringos. Here in Bariloche, we have found a few "forward thinking Argentines" that pass the message on. With that aside, I think this is a great thread. As BB...

We have begun a grassroots campaign to educate about litter and recycling. Seems that is begins with the youth. Giving people tools (empowering them) to succeed would be a great first step.

As a result of the Colombia issue, 12 Latin American presidents will be meeting up the street from us at the Hotel Llao Llao on August 28. Should be interesting!

Pace yourself, it is a marathon, not a sprint.

Check out Florida street, Galleria Jardin.

I think it depends what direction the wind is blowing.

Here's an article my wife work that might be useful. http://www.transitionsabroad.com/listings/work/esl/articles/teaching-english-in-argentina-TEFL.shtml

I have to agree with Katti. I think many dining and most services are very well priced. Our maid is 18 pesos an hour, our massage therapist 50 pesos an hour, health insurance US$150/month for full coverage and no deductible, car insurance US$40/month, etc.

And for those fortunate enough to earn dollars, for many things, the cost of living has actually gone down as of late.

Nice to see this thread revived.
