    on a side note: I believe that the amount of dollars you are allowed to bring in is 10,000. not sure where you heard 500? Argentina doesn't mind people bringing them IN, its trying to get them OUT that's the issue! Also if you do end up doing something freelance there are several threads about...

If you did come you would probably be teaching English at around 50 pesos an hour. You can take a look on Craigslist but I have never heard of a...

    Women Who've Made A Home Here For Love

    I met my husband when i was 21 in another country and then moved here to be with him. We married at 23 with very little thought as to what we were doing to be honest and certainly without taking any of the abovementioned into consideration. Thankfully 7 years later we are still together and now...
