Thanks good to know. I'd love to have a dog here, but it's probably not in the cards. So insurance it is.

Another apartment in our building was robbed last night so I'm wondering if there's anything we should do to protect our own. We were thinking of getting renter's insurance (through Mapfre?). Any other suggestions?

Thanks. Great to know. Is it obvious while booking what seats are on the top? And what's the advised way to book -- directly through the companies or through a site like plataforma10?

Which companies are the best for going to Mendoza? Good/bar experiences? I've read good things about Via Bariloche, but it doesn't go to Mendoza. Any to definitely avoid? Also, for 15 hours, is semicama OK or do we definitely want Cama Ejecutivo? Thanks for the help. It's my first...

I'm planning a trip myself and TripAdvisor forums have a bunch of recommendations for private drivers. Two friends recently did an Ampora wine tour, which is pricey, but I think it's a pretty small group (confirm that though, I'm not positive).

We bought the NHL subscription at the beginning of the season and have been watching the Bruins-Caps series without problem (on a laptop so far, since we still need a VGA cable). Would be happy to have some people over one night to watch a game.

I'm a Bruins fan, but just wanted to say hi to a fellow BA hockey fan. Where are you watching the games?

I recently read "Cutting for Stone" and loved it. It saved me when LAN delayed our flight for five hours.

Is there a list somewhere of BA blogs kept by expats/users of this forum? I stumble on them now and then, but would love to create a RSS feed or something to avoid having to go look for them each time.

Would love to hear any more recommendations. We're looking for a dentist for teeth cleaning and maybe wisdom tooth extraction (any experience with that here?) with a dentist covered by Medicus.

I did the same with Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo, but writing down just the drugs didn't work, they kept trying to give me the wrong kind. Eventually I figured out the equivalent Argentine brand and was able to get that.

If anyone manages to do with just a passport (no DNI, or other ID number), can you post here? Wondering if it's an option.

We recently got back from two weeks of hiking in Patagonia. We wrote about it on our blog, if anyone is interested: El Chalten: http://www.stephandben.com/2012/03/el-chalten-our-hike-begins.html El Calafate/Perito Moreno...

Mark (or anyone else here), Could you recommend a game for one of the next two weekends. I don't need to see Boca -- just want to see a good match, enjoy the atmosphere, and feel relatively safe. Thanks!

We stayed in town for Easter, and were hoping there would still be some fun things going on. Does anyone have suggestions for things to do this weekend? What's open/closed?

Lots of recommendations in this thread. http://baexpats.org/expat-life/8089-printing-photos.html I used Copifil near Plaza Italia.

Definitely don't use ByT, I can tell you that. They won't even show flats for 6-month rentals. (But otherwise, sorry, no ideas.)

Thanks much! Glad I don't have to worry.

We recently came back into Argentina from Puerto Natales and in addition to the normal entry stamp, we also got a stamp that says "TA 90 dias" (it seemed everyone was getting this, but I haven't seen it any other time I've come back in). Does anyone know if it means anything?

Anyone need help building or tweaking a website? We're an American couple living in BsAs and would love to trade our web skills for any services or skills that you can offer. We can help with CSS, HTML, javascript, jQuery, Drupal, server configuration, PHP, etc. This is my boyfriend's website...
