Even the promise of a millon dollars wouldn't entice me to start a business here. Just trying to get my place habilitated was a nightmare and I gave up when I was ripped off of my money. No, I don't want to end up in Borda hospital...

You could try a combi like this one http://www.minibusezeiza.com.ar/ $28 per person, every half hour between 8.00 and 18.00

Thanks Richard, will try the doble carolina...

So, time to revive this thread....moaning about paying $10 for the 160g bag of Lay's, LMAO, now $22. And, guess what? They have now brought out an even minier packet, a new 17g pack for $4! I think I'm going to buy one just to find out how many potato chips you get for 17g!!! Shall we all take...

I haven't seen arborio rice in any of the chinos. Can anyone recommend an alternative for risotto or rice pudding? Thanks!

It's not safe here. My dance partner lives in Beratazegui and when he drops me off after the milonga he leaves his wallet and cell-phone with me as he doesn't want to travel with valuables on the bus or train in case of being robbed. He regularly reports seeing people having their phones stolen...

Which bank is is it? Sounds strange that you can't send money to a third party? That's not a normal banking rule...

My friend Natalia makes wedding dresses and tango clothes. This is her website. http://www.costurerita.com.ar/

Churchill, the money is paid in direct from a local source, via caja automatica, so there's no paperwork involved.

Don't think the law about the telo not being within 100m of place of worship is upheld (as reported in wander article). There's a new church on Independencia just across the road from several telos! Maybe they're trying to attract more churchgoers.

I've used exchange4free twice as I need the money sent directly to my bank account here. Azimo stopped doing it a while back. They're efficient, I do a bank transfer to avoid the credit card fee.

sleslie23, I suggested we go to one to use the washing facilities when we were having a bathroom installed and there was no water for several days. He refused point blank and fixed up a garden-hose shower in the patio instead.....

I'm doing a piece of writing and have some telo questions. I know I should go to a few and see, but my husband won't let me! When and how do you pay? On the way in? To a cashier in a cubicle? What if you stay too long? Does somebody knock at the door, or do they catch you on the way out? Do you...

We paid a lot of money to get our yellow fever shots but there's no need. You can get them free here - "Dirección Nacional de Fronteras"(Border Health, the Ministry of Health), located in Calle Ingeniero Huergo 690 (corner Chile)...

For the benefit of anyone browsing the archives in search of a sand-blasting service, as suggested by the OP, I came across the name of the company we used last year. They're called Arenado Sur and this is the website. http://arenadosur.com.ar/ We used them to get rid of charring on our house...

This isn't exactly what you asked for, but for carpets, rugs, curtains, sofas and other soft furnishings, there's a company called Deep Clean. We have used them 3 times in the last few years. They are economic and good and it's the same people each time. I believe they can do some walls too...

I can recommend Fabi, we've known him 6 months and in that time he's done cleaning for us, as well as sanding and varnishing two giant doors. He also does painting and albanileria (not 100% sure what that covers!). He's a really nice guy and trustworthy, doens't speak english though. His cel...

We bought some chunky cut oats from the dietetica on Independencia and Santiago del Estero. They also had whole oats, but not with husks.

My accountant says AFIP def tax rental income and if you go to sell the apt they will check when you were out of the country and tax you as if you were renting out based on those dates abroad (unless your utilities went down to nill).

Well I need some extra help. I've been pregnant or breastfeeding for the last 6 years and it's weakened my teeth and gums a little. So I'm open to the magic. Yes, comfrey should be used with care and not swallowed, and only for short term. I think I prefer Risu's turmeric and salt tip. For...
