The problem I ran into was (at least several years ago) the FBI would NOT send the report internationally. You have to have it sent somewhere in the US, and then get it sent here. I got my fingerprints from the comisaria in Recoleta, and tipped the guy who did it 10 pesos. We both laughed about...

Hey guys! I just got back from a trip down south, and thought this would be a good time to see who is interested in a Thanksgiving dinner out here in Vicente Lopez. As those of you who have been here know, I have an oven big enough to cook 3 or 4 turkeys if we need to, and another smaller one...

The last time I was in Montevideo (about a year ago) it was NOT cheaper then BsAs, and with the Uruguayan peso strengthening it was actually maybe even a little more expensive. My dos centavoes... David

Hey there! The problem with trying to eat Christmas (or New Year) is that just about every restauant that's open will be offering a "menu fijo" (fixed price) that will be high and more then likely not very good! On top of that, transportation is spotty and many cabs will be trying to extort...

I just got my last permanent visa renewal with a notarized/apostiled letter from my accountant in the U.S. stating I had over $1,000 U$D income in the US and copies of my last 3 US bank statements showing deposits of over that amount. I had brought receipts from money exchanges but nobody asked...
