    recommendations for "nice restaurants" and place for Christmas

    i third the stay home thing - though you can shift homes... When my family came last christmas we got a nice cabaña on an island in Tigre, very cheap (especially for visiting relatives thinking in Euros/Dollars), swimming pool - we bought tons of meat, cooked asado and got drunk and swam in...

    How and Where to buy a camera

    i work quite a bit with mercadolibre... check how many cameras of the same model have been sold; check the reputation of the seller; check the location - many shops advertise the fact that they have a 'local a la calle' and some of them the shops use the same name - you then search the name on...

    Argentina vs Peru

    I would think that the cheaper tickets will sell out faster, as mentioned on another thread, due to demand and early queueing... therefore you may only be left with the more expensive options... The best fun is to be had in the cheaper areas, if they win that is...

    Introduction and Working at University Question!

    i knew two dutch girls who came (at seperate times) to work as nurses for three months - one in San Isidro and one in Hospital de Ninos. Neither spoke Spanish, both were training to be doctors and this was a part of their course. They learnt Spanish fast but the girl said that in San Isidro she...

    Hard to find tickets for Argentina vs Peru after Oct 7?

    if thats $100US it is reasonable - many agencies sell much higher. if it is $100pesos but the tickets... The general sale for the public (tickets are not on sale yet) will be chaos - queues for a long way and the cheap seats will be gone in no time. i live near the stadium and people get there...

    banking blues

    I wired money to HSBC, with a CDI number and passport number. But it was to sign an escritura and so they would not release the funds without witnessing the signing ... Perhaps not related, but i thought i would mention it...

    San Telmo

    Hi Jen, San Telmo is lovely, by day, but personally not my first choice. You can get good places at a good price in San Telmo, perhaps that is part of the attraction... Do you have other desires in terms of other areas??

    Hi..and hope you can help..^.^

    I thought as well that there was a visa for those who wish to live here whilst being paid from abroad... but i may be wrong - When i was getting married i went to the British Embassy to ask what they knew: They state that they can not help you with the process in any way, but they do have a...

    banking blues

    Hello Studiodio... Citibank are based in the US as well believe?? Does anyone else have experience with them? Also, i read somewhere in this forum that HSBC, whilst bearing the name, actually has very little to do with the HSBC in other countries. From my own experience stay away from them anyway!!

    Friend in need of an apartment

    $400 US? it seems a little low for an apartment on his own... especially considering that in Palermo and Belgrano locals pay more with 2 year contracts... Perhaps you should see Pericles (you can find him on this site...)

    Why not Belgrano?

    Even with a commute you never have to travel for more than half an hour - unless you work in La Boca. In London i used to travel more than an hour going in and as many as two hours going home. That is standard for many who live in large cities all over the globe. As Steve said, to have less...

    Why not Belgrano?

    I love living in Belgrano. I am speaking of the part of Belgrano between Cabildo and Libertador... Its peaceful here, quiet and safe. There is Barrio Chino nearby for my exotic-cooking needs and my spicy dining desires. El Pobre Luis is a parilla that rivals La Cabrera, with...

    Deportations from Spain

    100% true - when my better-half-Argentine-wife and i travelled the British Embassy's website states that the issue is convincing the Immigration Officer you randomly meet that your intentions are good. There is no real legislation, only guidelines...

    Deportations from Spain

    We enjoyed many a conversation with Argentines in Barcelona who shared their methods in getting into Spain and staying there illegally. I worked in londons kitchens for a long time and there too the illegals who washed our dishes (wihtout them we would have no staff) were all quite boastful...
