In an attempt to be prepared to go to the registro civil to apply for residency for myself and my two children, on the basis of being married to an Argentine, I was wondering if anyone was able to get a criminal record check while here. How did you get it? We are from Fairfax County, VA...

I know that Coto isn't necessarily as cheap as other markets, and they work in opposition to the small local shops, but due to the ever increasing cost of my local supermercado (way out in Canning, that is the only real choice I have to buy food), I went to cotodigital.com.ar. I registered...

Not that Canning, the one way out there, near Ezeiza!

My atm card has the cirrus, the exchange, and star logos on the back, not sure which I use specifically, but I do know that I have never paid a fee here to use an ATM, but my bank charges me like $.50, and some international exchange tax, but they give me a great rate on the exchange, and on...

We have just signed up for the Clinic in Monte Grande for our children (I live just past Monte Grande, so it may be far for someone living in the city, but I know there are several similar types, and I think the Clinic we have does have an office downtown). For the both of them it is like $103...

As a child, if you were bullied, or spoken meanly to by a peer, didn't your mom tell you to just ignore them? Responding only fuels the flames, so if people are being negative, ignore their comments, and move on. Don't provide more fuel! If there is no reaction, then the naysayer has nothing...

I was wondering if anyone knew of a church/goodwill type place that allows drop off of used clothing. I've discovered that my in-laws have turned the room for the housekeeper a storage room, instead of her bedroom. They've all said it's all old stuff from the kids growing up, but I'm sure there...

I have arrived to my Argentine bubble out here in Canning. Wondering if there are any expats that live out this way.

I may be able to lend a small hand... I have just begun working with my father in law at the family inmobiliaria (real estate agency). We're in Flores, which is a pretty nice neighboorhood, and the area is changing for the better. I know little about the actual contracts,(my father in law has...

My husband and I will be applying for my residency from here, and hopefully the Argentine embassy will be able to advise some on the shipping. (We realized we purchased one way tickets our of convienence, and immigration may not like that if I don't have residency!)The companies that we have...

So some here say it can be done, others say no... What's the deal with bringing televisions, dvd players, and computers? Will these things work with cable and adapters, dvds that are sold there.... etc? We're trying to figure out what to begin to sell, and what will be shipped! Thanks, Jessica

I hope that I don't sound like as big of a moron as some are thinking I am. I AM NOT EXPECTING MY LIFE IN BA TO BE LIKE HERE!!!! I like the country club for the security reasons. I like the city because it's more real than here... here everything is "perfect". There I remember looking at a bank...

Well, I guess I should have mentioned something else about my husband's situation. His father owns a real estate company downtown, and he earns dollars. He has told him that he can work for him. We also have considering buying a small business/kiosco for one of us to work in. As far as getting...

My husband says we are moving to Buenos Aires. We have tickets to go, but as far as moving there, I'm not so sure. I have agreed to two months, to see if we can "make it" whatever that means. So, he's signed me up for this website, so here I am putting forth a small effort. His family is there...
