Import taxes are irrelevant if you have your laptop with you and are just 'passing through.' If you're just on an extended trip, travelling around South America, buy yourself a US$400 netbook here and nobody's going to even ask you about it when you cross borders.

Looks like it's going to go right down to the wire. Tories 73 short with 136 results to come. Looking like they'll just fall short of an outright majority.

Thirded regarding getting someone to bring it. If that's not possible it really isn't a good idea to post it - by DHL or other carrier it's probably going to end up costing more than buying one here and by Post Office you're probably no better than 50/50 that you'll ever see it again. How long...

Chicken Oxo cubes!!! ;)

Believe me, if I could fit her under my shirt she'd be there! Details received.....just hoping the football strip arrives from Canada in time!

Here you go...

Yes, that's true....$8k up front and $8k per month, MINIMUM. Well, that's obviously your own fault because I can tell from your post that you only wear tight-fitting, see-through shirts with your nipples prominently on show and "BITE ME" emblazoned across the front of it in pink neon letters...

Ignore them Johanna. It's a common occurrence on this forum to blame the victim! Even if they know absolutely nothing about you and have never as much as even met you. I swear if someone came on here and said they were bullied at school, someone will pop up and say "it was your fault for being a...

What? No! Don't listen to them! :p

Simon - you have PM.

Ha, ha! It did occur to me as soon as I saw the OP, but hey....ever the optimist me! ;)

Probably not. My (UK sourced) unlocked Samsung Jet works fine for calls and texts but nothing else. And trying to find out what to do from Claro or Samsung leads to a very Argentinian outcome....."it's not our responsibility - go talk to (the other one)."

They obviously never visited the hospital in Iguazú where my son was born! Besides the fact that it's filthy and has no facilities, the attitude of the doctor in attendance at the birth was a disgrace - anywhere else I would have reported her and she would never have practiced medicine again...

Live alone....except for when I've got my 2 yr old son with me, but he doesn't make much of a contribution as yet - will be putting him out to work as soon as he's fully bilingual. ;)

Is that a promise? Yep....you're clearly the life and soul of the party and we're all miserable gits. va2ba - I no longer care what you do with the place, you've got me as a guaranteed customer, as long as Mr Cheerful keeps his promise..... :)

So if salaries in NYC are 8 times what they are in BA, that makes the smokes effectively twice as expensive in BA. For the relative cost of things here it's much easier for me to calculate, because I relate everything to £s. Using a very conservative estimate that salaries in London are 6 times...

You know that the Spanish for eyes is ojos yeah? Not tet.......oh never mind. ;-)

Yep, a bit more than doubled I would say.

I'm sorry, but you seem to have stumbled into the wrong forum. Try here - www.PARexpats.org :)

Very interesting pericles! I didn't know that the twin blows of Foot & Mouth in 1967 and Britain joining the EU in 1972 had been quite so devastating for the Argentine economy.
