    Hate North Americans?

    My brother in law started spouting off this anti US, anti capitalism, US is imperialist, kids leave home at 16, no family values, US and rich people are to blame for everything, etc etc. I asked him where he learned this nonsense, he said from school. So, I can be a hell of a nice guy, be...

    Buenos Aires is Beautiful

    Because it IS beautiful AND it is NOT. There is beautiful and ugly here. There is good and bad - sort of like you speak about on your blog.

    No, not a court order... order from my wife. Much more serious than any court

    Argentina may have to import beef

    And btw, I agree with Charlsi, grass fed is what makes Argentinian beef so good and healthy. This is why much of our beef in the US sucks and is not very healthy, it is mostly corn/grain fed. Not to mention the hormones and antibiotics etc. I can not remember the name of the chemical that is...

    Argentina may have to import beef

    I have noticed a steady decline in the quality of the beef since I first came to visit in 2001. My first visit I thought I was in heaven! Through the years the quality really seemed to decline. Now my mother-in-law has to choose all the beef because she has an eye for what the good stuff is vs...

    Where is home to an expat?

    Very interesting thread... must be reading my mind. Honestly, and as delicately as I can put this... I am here, and this is home, for now simply because this is where my wife wants to be. Frankly I've "only" been here for 90 days but I'm sort of in the same boat as HotYogaTeacher... I don't...

    Tips on extending Tourist Visa

    Now that I have been convinced by the wife that we ARE staying for awhile (as if I ever had any choice), I'll get the necessary documents and residency taken care of. I did want to make sure that my tourist visa was intact during the process though. Thank much Mark

    Tips on extending Tourist Visa

    I did not want to take any chances and screw something up, then have the potential to be separated from my wife and child. And I normally do things "straight up", although I realize this tourist visa thing is rather a grey area. Main thing is to just avoid any complications down the road

    Tips on extending Tourist Visa

    Dang Steve, I didn't even see this post of yours last night, and I did search. I guess it was late. Actually I waited in car with baby while my wife did this recon. She does have a way of pushing through or going around lines and crowds, etc. She then returned to car, took care of baby, while...

    Tips on extending Tourist Visa

    Ok, now that I've been through it, maybe I can fill in a few more details on how to extend a tourist visa at the migraciones office. Thanks to all those who gave me great info last night.

    Renew tourist visa

    Attorney in BA, Originally I had no intention of seeking residency here in Argentina. Our plan was to come here so my wife could be with her family through the last part of pregnancy, have our baby here, stay for a while longer, and then go back "home". Things may be changing and we may in...

    Renew tourist visa

    I can't believe I've been here for almost 90 days already, time to renew my tourist visa this week. Where exactly is the migraciones office that I need to go to and what do I need to take with me? And second part of my question is this... originally I was just planning to do the renew every 90...
