    Yay - After 10 Years We're Planning On Leaving Argentina

    It's not a huge story but a few years ago I wired myself money from overseas to my local bank account and the money never arrived. My international bank confirmed that it had been sent successfully and that the details I had used were correct so at the time I was quite puzzled and nobody could...

    Yay - After 10 Years We're Planning On Leaving Argentina

    It's a huge decision.... but I know it's for the best. It's really challenging (and expensive) relocating a family. Funnily enough, my Argentine friends and acquaintances are surprised that we're even here given the fact that I'm from Australia and can live in Sydney. I've tried to explain that...

    Yay - After 10 Years We're Planning On Leaving Argentina

    My sentiments exactly JoeGillis. When I purchased a Sony TV I got a bit excited when the box sticker stated that it was manufactured in Ushuaia. I thought that perhaps Argentina had a hidden high tech industry. Upon closer investigation, I realised that they just 'assembed' the case and put it...

    Yay - After 10 Years We're Planning On Leaving Argentina

    It depends on your perspective... We have enjoyed a different culture, made new friends, learned a new language so from that perspective it has been worthwhile. Economically it hasn't been as positive and it hasn't been beneficial career wise so while we've gained an international perspective...

    Yay - After 10 Years We're Planning On Leaving Argentina

    Apparently Chavez advised Christina how to rule a country and keep power. Give them enough to live but not enough to grow because when they do, control will be lost. Does anybody know if this is true? Is there a quote someplace?

    Yay - After 10 Years We're Planning On Leaving Argentina

    Ouch - the truth does sting a bit! I'd love to see this place fixed but I don't see it happening. Corruption at all levels of government and a breakdown of judicial powers is really concerning so my expectation is that life will become harder for Argentines, not easier.

    Yay - After 10 Years We're Planning On Leaving Argentina

    Brazil is hardly an example of a great place to live for many brazilians. It's bleak, but I take their point. :) If history tells us what the future will be like then what will Argentina be like in say 10 or 20 years? Will there be less corruption? Will the economy strengthen? Will it be safer...

    Surely, this doesn't have anything to do with the rivalry between Brazil and Argentina does it?

    Yay - After 10 Years We're Planning On Leaving Argentina

    Very true! The popular regime has triumphed again. My poor kids, they'll be exposed to low levels of insecurity in Australia and I'll have to deal with horrible inflation levels (1.5%)... Imagine the grief i'm going to face in Australia buying electronic circuits from China and not facing with...

    Yay - After 10 Years We're Planning On Leaving Argentina

    Good question and yes, there are 3 things - corruption, insecurity and financial controls. I tried to import some electronic circuit boards I manufactured in china (USD $30) but they were held up by red tape and corruption. In the end I abandoned the goods and had a new batch sent to Australia...

    Yay - After 10 Years We're Planning On Leaving Argentina

    Thanks for the link. Nice site! Any buyer will do so not just expats. I suppose the main thing is that it's sold in USD. Not fussed whether it's paid internationally although that would definitely make things easier.

    Yay - After 10 Years We're Planning On Leaving Argentina

    Yes, the time has finally come to pack our bags and leave this charming place. The kids are growing up so it's time to take them somewhere safer, more civilised and stable. After 10 years, we're heading back to Australia. We have a 140m2 apartment in Belgrano near the Australian embassy that'll...

    Investing In Stocks/bonds And All That Jazz...

    My advice is to not invest in the local market if you wish to keep your money. After government meddling in public companies, specifically YPF, buyer beware. If however you do chose to gamble over here, some guidelines to follow and questions to ask when choosing a broker are as follows: - What...
