I've heard good things about Elance.com.

There isn't a soul in Argentina surprised by this. And there won't be the next time, either.

For real? Does this really concern you, fred mertz?

Honestly, all of this trying to explain away the rudeness of the people here in Buenos Aires is a bit ridiculous. The people here are rude. If that's what you thought at first, you were right. And if you have a bit of mass to you, just knock them out of your way on the sidewalk.

Ooh, explain that, sergio. What does it mean that outsiders are "treated accordingly" here? And what does an Argentine physically LOOK like?

I'm heading back to the US for a bit and getting rid of some stuff, including a perfectly decent Texas acoustic-electric guitar that I picked up about a year ago. Got it for 220 pesos, with a bag and a strap, but I lost the 9-volt battery cover and nicked the head a bit so, say, 150 pesos (or...

Yeah, I never declare anything. If you're entering on a tourist visa, you're a tourist. You just happen to be carrying some stuff with you that you're expected to bring back out with you. Maybe it's different for residents but has anyone ever been asked about their visa status at the customs...

You're always so cheery, Steve. Anyway, from purely a tourist's perspective, I do hope that the dollar rises a bit against the pound and the euro so that traveling around Europe gets a bit cheaper. I guess the pound is pretty far down at the moment, though. While that certainly sucks for...

I think you're confusing things a bit, malbec. The majority of folks posting here are just hanging around Argentina for a while, for whatever reason, not emigrating here. And unlike poor folks who fled Europe in search of opportunity abroad a century ago, most of us can fare far better back...

The British are just trying to find some oil near some islands that have been in their possession for almost two centuries. The situation is only being used for political gain here in Argentina.

You're kidding, right?

Argentines, listen to one of your own who has seen the light: 'We must educate the Argentines'

Argentines eat a lot of hot dogs, SaraSara.

This guy's delusional. Asado, though, when done right, is pretty damn good.

Nothing, dude. It's a terrible place. Don't go there, you'd hate it. Say some expat managed to conquer his fear of leaving the capital, what clubs should he go to? Thanks, champ.

Sure. Still stuck here with the girlfriend and while my opinion of Buenos Aires hasn't changed all that much I do have a higher opinion of Argentina now that I've seen a bit more of it. Here in BA, I did manage to get out to many of the places recommended on this thread and there were...

I guess you're not the one being racist if you can say "A Peruvian woman told me...", right InjuredBadly? Anyway, I've never had a problem ordering from flyers/delivery menus or ever heard of a single person who ran into a problem doing so. How else is some delivery business going to advertise...

Eh? Visa for what?

What? Who cares what the idiot thinks about NYC? bradlyhale, don't you listen to NYKate. NYC is a terrible damn place. It's outrageously expensive and filled with just awful people. Nice midwestern kid like you don't belong in a place like that. No, you got it right, good ol' hick...
