Yes you can but like most things here it can be a hassle. Swiss medical runs a December promotion whereby you get a discount and no price increases for a year if you pay the whole year up front. I pay with my credit card but need to visit their office. Its not a seamless process though as the...

While you're at it, stop playing soccer and pull up the rail system.

The British built this country, rail and most of the infrastructure. We almost spoke English and not Spanish. Soccer clubs have English names such as river plate and racingclub and one of the oldest sports clubs, the cricket and rugby club of Buenos Aires spawned the pumas. If I were a Brit, I'd...

For me it was a lot of hard work but I'm now fluent after arriving in bs.as over 7 years ago with no more than the words si, no, empanada y cerveza. Getting to the next level of fluency requires that you practice with people who speak at your desired level and who speak with a professional...

Nice post... I wondered about the big Mac not being advertised. I really laugh at the lies promoted by the government about inflation. I pay almost 30% more across the board for everything compared to 12 mouths ago so I don't need to hear economists confirming or denying it when I have the...

I use the Russell Hobbs hand blender with ice crushing attachment. My wife bought it in Jumbo a couple of years ago and it has been great.

I'm not sure any successful trader will just give away their secrets but I'll share a few gems with you: 1. The markets are very simple so don't over complicate them. 2. For every transaction, the parties agree on price but never on value. 3. You trade your own personal belief system. Know...

I believe the persons name was Laurent Schwebel and this was his passion: http://www.flickr.com/photos/55094547@N04/ Poor man.

Tax issues will apply depending on where you are a citizen, resident and whether that country has a double taxation agreement with Argentina. If you earn an income as a resident of Argentina, even if your income source is from your website then afip, if they knew, would want you to pay tax. If...

We buy ziploc bags from farmacity and they only have one size. Carrefour has a complete range of sizes but thats probably not much use as their megastores are in the provinces.

Hi dustyjeeves, The drive capacity is 3tb but what about the data? Clooz above posted about dropbox but id have to disagree with his recommendation as the data upload and download transfer times could take weeks to complete. It's practical to use dropbox services for data sizes less than 50gb...

I travel 5 times a year and have done so for 7 years and have never paid duty on anything. My electronics on my last trip included: 15 asus laptop, 7 inch netbook, 24inch Dell led monitor, waterproof camera, android htc desire phone, voip linksys hub, asus wireless router, bluray player, 3tb...

Cheme, the value of true love cannot be undervalued. When you are 105 years old and on your death bed, will you have regrets? The most valuable commodity you have is time, not money not work so try your best to find a way to be together.... There is always a way. Good luck.

If you have exhausted all other avenues and your landlord still wont play ball then suggest involving Afip somehow. I recently read a thread where somebody did this and the landlord backed down.

I'm interested in the vacuum cleaner. Do you have a fridge? If yes, if be interested in that.

Bullshit or not, who's to know other than the op? The repatriation loan seems the best and obvious rescue path and the embassy has processes in place to filter out the scammers and to help those needing repatriation.

Fred, I know what you mean and that was one of the appeals of living in in the city. We have survived for over 7 years without a car here in Bs.As but the time has come to buy one. My wife would like to learn how to drive, my oldest son (16) would also like to learn and I'd like to take my...

Steve, thanks for the excellent advise. I didn't know about this service and will check it out. Do you have the website on hand? Insurance services here seem a little different to that provided in Australia so I'll definitely be reading the fine print. Agreed, will check into getting...

Yes I did.... :cool: conservatism rocks!
