Excellent points... I'll definitely get a national drivers license.

Has anybody been through the process of buying a car recently?

Hi All I was hoping that somebody knew the process and documentation needed to purchase a car in Buenos Aires. Do you need a DNI? What else is required? What are the registration costs? What are the insurance costs? Where is registration paid? Can I purchase a car just with my passport? How do...

How can you be so flippant about this? I'm not a proponent of the USA or her allies, just a casual observer but the worst thing Argentina should do is aggravate the USA and it's allies by supporting Chavez. By doing so, Argentina continues to alienate herself from the the countries that rule...

There are poor people living homeless on the street near to where I live and one homeless old man who eats RAW chicken scraps and bones given to him by the butcher across the road. He suffers from exposure to the elements, hasn't washed in weeks. His skin is infested with scabies and looks like...

Hi All, Do you have or know of anybody who has a holiday home for rent in Pinamar from Saturday, 31st of December for two weeks? I'm only interested in fully furnished houses or large apartments (150 meters minimum) near the beach. I require good Internet access and the house should have...

Davidglen77, While this is probably a discussion for another thread, I agree with you. Things are far worse here for the masses than they would like to believe but they feel the pain every day. Even though the gov, some media and a range of cronies say that Argentina is growing, it is not. In...

Because it would seem that inflation of 25% works for you when making fixed repayments.... By paying over 24 cuotas I'm getting a 25% discount per year (annual inflation) on the amount yet to pay.

For a long time I complained about the cost of electronics over here, including TV sets. They seemed much more expensive that the equivalent models back home and for no obvious reason. I now believe that I have found an explanation for the price difference which is "priced in inflation". Let me...

Trevor is confused with trebol which in Spanish means three leafed cover.

I concur with the comments here but will add that any atm on the cirrus or maestro networks will let you withdraw larger amounts in a single txn. Stay away from the banelco network whenever possible.

No joke but two dress-up trannies tried to rob myself and another expat near the very same location a few years ago. they're getting bolder. It's a good thing you got away.

If you have thought through your investment options and have decided that gold is for you then there are several ways to buy it. You can buy through any major bank in bs.as but be prepared to pay a small fortune in fees. The spread, buy/sell bid/ask through banks is where they make their money...

I use Axel... Never had a problem. 15 3089 1925

Hahaha you are a very funny man! Che boludo, que gracioso que sos.

I find it interesting that the ll and y sounds have morphed from the original Spanish into several alternatives. Anybody know why?

Correct, when making an appointment online you record the mother or fathers DNI. Once 'inscribed', you will have the babies birth certificate with D.N.I number the very same day. My children born here were processed this way. The D.N.I booklet was delivered to our house a days/weeks later but...

Firstly, congratulations!!!!! Registration should not be a problem but they will request your passport which will be recorded on the babies birth certificate and DNI. Also, the civil registry is not immigration so you won't have immigration officials waiting to arrest and deport you. If they do...

I came across a parody in castellano that's hilarious. It was written many years ago to mock upper class independent argentine women obsessed with plastic surgery and who speak in a way that tries to identify them as upper class and educated. Check it out...
