Hey there San Telmo-ites I know Vicente Lopez is the other side of town for you guys, but if any of you would like to come to this Sundays BBQ perhaps you can split a cab (should be about 30-35 pesos) between 3 or 4 of you. The 29 bus also comes close if you're really on a budget.... We'd...

Hey guys It seems like enough folks are interested, so let's do it! Anyone who wants to come is invited, and I look forward to seeing old friends and meeting some new ones! Info here: http://baexpats.org/expat-events/5092-burgers-burbs-6-14-a-2.html#post29021 Youse guys bring drinks and...

Hey guys! Anyone up for a Burger-Q this Sunday. Weathers getting nice, and there are some new folks in town! All it would take would be a few folks who wanna come and we'll make it happen! Saludos, David

I can tell you from personal experience that they WILL check it when you depart, but will never even mention it here. Like I said, it is an airline reg., not a government or immigration issue! You can buy the one-way ticket at the airport (which I did the first time), but the time involved can...

BTW, suspicious of what? There is no reason they will care that you plan to stay here indefinitely, as long as you do it legally. Don't be nervous about this (or anything!) Good luck! David

Where this will bite you is at the airport, where you will be most likely denied boarding unless you can demonstrate an ongoing passage out of Argentina (preferably on another carrier). I ran into this problem frequently in the past when I was returning to Argentina on a round trip originating...

My understanding is that this "relief" will apply for the next two months (or perhaps two billing cycles) after which it will be back to where it just was. Anyone know this for a fact (or fiction?) David

The man who did most of the major remodeling (including painting the entire house) of the mansion here in Vicente Lopez is a gentleman named Juan Carlos Pujol, and I would recommend him highly for any type of work you may need. He is competent, detail oriented, absolutely honest and will NOT do...

I voted no on this poll, and then remembered that I was, in fact, burglarized in an apartment in Recoleta about 5 years ago! I guess I didn't want to remember it! David

Hey guys If any member or reader of this forum is ever in any kind of a no-where-to-go type of jam, please feel free to call me. If you need an emergency place to stay (your apt. check-in didn't show up or the place was a disaster), somewhere to leave your stuff or hang out while you sort out a...

I'm sorry you couldn't make it, as usual I had a GREAT time and met some great new folks! The next one will be after I get back at the end of August, I hope you can (all) make it! As for being generous, I'm happy to promote that illusion, but the fact is not only do I get to enjoy everyone's...

Hey Everybody I have started this thread to mention that this Sunday (8/9) there will be a kick-off meeting for the Spanish Book Club BuenosAires Mike has started, combined with a Burger BBQ afterwards. Location is my house here in Vicente Lopez. * The book club (detailed at...

Hey guys Believe me, I have no moral problem using Microsoft software without paying the hyper inflated cost of buying it, but it's really a lousy idea! Without a registered copy, you will be unable to install the "service packs" (which of course are really bug fixes, and frequently are...

Hey Guys! The Book club BBQ meeting is set for Sunday! I apologize to the folks who can't make it, but Sunday works best for most of us, including me! I suggest the book club start at around 1:30 or 2, and the BBQ will be set for around 3:30/4:00 I look forward to meeting you all, and again...

As I understand, the money you pay when ou leave isn't really a "tax" but rather an "airport fee", so it would be hard to include in your ticket price. Last time I looked it was just under 20 U$D (18 I think), payable after you check in, payed in dollars, pesos, or with a Debit/Credit card...

Joana, Use Google to find a free proxy server (google "free proxy") and try logging into your gamil account through the proxy. A proxy servr is a computer that will accept your request for a page and basically re-direct it to appear to be coming from them. If, as I suspect, you are able to...

Hey guys It looks like we will be doing a combination Book Club kickoff/Burger burn this Saturday or Sunday, out here in Vicente Lopez. For those who have never been here, there are directions in the thread http://baexpats.org/expat-events/5092-burgers-burbs-6-14-a.html The choice of Saturday...

Hey guys I agree the book club should meet somewhere more central - I was thinking just of a "kick-off" meeting here next weekend, combined with a (welcome-back-Igor ?) BBQ. I am leaving town for a few weeks first part of the week, so this would be kind of "last call" for a Sunday gathering...
