It's a small, quiet building, she has a balcony. She is also going to leave all her...

    Need Advise In Learning The Lingo

    I had a teacher who totally pushed the subjunctive way too soon and it was really detrimental. I still don't use that damn tense! I'm not a great speaker but once I gave up caring as much about making mistakes it helped a lot. Too much stress definitey kills everything....

    Mac Service...told My Only Option Is Uruguay?

    About a year ago I took my MacBook to Mac Soul/Santa Fe 1780 to get a new screen. At that time it took like 3 weeks but the screen (imported of course) was like 1K! So stupid..I should have just bought a new one but I wasn't going to be in the states for a while. The screen is starting to get...

    Plans to Leave?

    Totally agree about the US consumerism/shopping as recreation thing. I'm seriously considering returning after 4 years here (I never planned on living here forever) but I fear reentry for that reason. I do enjoy the conveniences, ease of things, etc. but there is something dead and formulaic...

    Pet grooming near to palermo hollywood?

    I took my cocker spaniel to a pet store on Guatelemala 5806 - Mercado de las Pocas Pulgas (points for cute name) for a shampoo-they are really nice it was only 70 pesos but they didn't really clean his ears that well (which is kind of the basics for that breed). Maybe I'll check out El Spa de...

    Boarding Kennel In Or Around Caba

    I have used Dogs on Holidays a number of times and really like them. They are in San Andres Giles but Heber (the owner) makes weekly trips into capital to drop/pick up dogs. They have a lot of land and the dogs are well taken care of. Not too expensive either... Heber Sibilia Dogs on Holidays...

    Phones: Movistar/personal/claro?

    I just got a claro plan using just my passport. It's a basic plan for 165 pesos/month and you have to pay 2 months up front as an extranjero. You get bills via text message that you pay at Pago Facil. I may be missing some big catch, but so far it's working out great :)

    New Online Purchasing Laws

    I agree...use your resources to leave now. If you feel like you're in a rut it may get harder and harder to go. I think we can lose our perspective and feel unempowered when we are in a place that sucks us dry. Best of luck to you - there are ways out, you can do it!

    Transporting a dog from Argentina to California

    I'm not completely up on all of this stuff but I think it's a somewhat new policy (I think Argentine?) that you have to use a third party agency to transport an animal. I've gotten quotes from 2 different places to transport my 8 kilo cocker spaniel to the East Coast of the US-Pets Ventura and...

    Air Conditioning Repair

    Hi everyone, Anyone know of any air conditioning repair services? Mine broke and we've had a difficult time finding anyone to come out. We had some guys here today and they couldn't fix it (although I think it was because they didn't know what they were doing vs there is a major problem with...
