    NEW TAX on ALL PROPERTIES required and DUE by September 15!

    I'd be very, very surprised if this is true.They are talking about raising the ABL Rentas, but that's not going to come close to what this guy is proposing in his post.

    employment advice

    Have you tried registering with e-lance:http://www.elance.com/I agree with the other advice about seeking work abroad to do over the Internet. I get jobs in the U.S. at reduced American rates, but it's still sufficient to live fairly well here. (Note: I'm a writer, not a web designer, so please...

    Food Dehydrators where to buy

    If you can't find one, there are quite a few sites on the Internet that discuss how to dehydrate foods using the oven. There's also this link for building your own solar dehydrator is you're so inclined:http://www.thefarm.org/charities/i4at/surv/soldehyd.htm

    Why do you live in Argentina?

    That's a really good point that ought to be pointed out more often. Thanks.

    Why do you live in Argentina?

    I like exhaust fumes. Especially from buses. The dog crap is just a bonus.

    an album that changed the world...

    I don't know who Guns and Roses is (or was), let alone "Appetite for Destruction." So whatever world it supposedly changed, well...whatever. LOL!

    Ricolea vs palermo.

    Your question is really kind of meaningless. Both barrios are large, and Palermo is actually quite huge. (According to Wikipedia, Palermo is about 17 square kilometers and has a population of over 250,000. That's bigger than many U.S. and Eurpopean towns and small cities.) Each barrio has...

    One way ticket from Scotland

    The issue of whether a one-way ticket will cut it or not is an issue that rests entirely with the airlines.The Argentine immigration web site states that the only requirement for entry into the country is a valid passport. Unfortunately, if you dig deeper into the immigration requirements, you...

    Has BsAs changed much since 2005?

    In 2005 it was fun to go tango dancing. Now so many of the milongas are so freaking overrun with foreigners and expats, you might as well be dancing in St. Louis or London. It's kind of hypocritical of me to say that, since I am an expat who likes (or liked) to go to the milongas, and hence I...

    Recoleta vs Palermo.

    First of all, both Recoleta and Palermo are big barrios. Palermo is actually huge. To try to describe either in terms of quiet or noisy is ridiculous. Each barrio has very quiet places (e.g., the island in Recoleta), as well as very noisy places (e.g. the corner of Juncal and Arenales in...

    Inheritance laws

    No, I don't know the exact details, but I know it exists because I had to deal with it once. You should see an Argentine lawyer who specializes in such things.

    Inheritance laws

    I believe there are also situations under which surviving parents automatically get a portion of real property when someone dies, regardless of how the will may be written.

    Tailors?

    There is a tailor shop down on 25 de Mayo, just a few doors south of Corrientes I believe, that appears to make bespoke suits. I've walked by a few times and seen the guy drawing patterns on bolts of wool and cutting patterns with scissors, so I assume that's what they're doing.

    Foreigners with property in BA

    First, you should differentiate between 'investing' and 'speculating'.In general, for a foreigner to buy property in Buenos Aires for the purpose of making money is speculating, pure and simple. The results could, in fact, be very good. But it would be a mistake to think that that would be an...

    Shipping Belongings From the US to Argentina

    There are lots of variables in this issue, and you really need to ask someone who does this stuff for a living to get accurate and complete information. My understanding is that you can bring in your household goods without customs or import taxes under certain types of residency visas, but...
