    Why do people without work visas think they can come here and find work?

    ... um... okay... I don't even know what that is supposed to mean. Or its some kind of attempt at humor maybe?

    Why do people without work visas think they can come here and find work?

    I'd say it goes both ways. I know a fair share of upper middle class Argentine kids who've done the exact same thing in NYC and Miami.

    New Daily Peso Limit?

    chicos, Read the article - it says "The measure affects activity in the stock and bond markets, investment funds and in the futures markets." Nothing about ATM withdrawals, nothing about restaurant tabs. This is for 'formal transactions'. I can't imagine they are restricting the amount of...

    The final two sentences in Clarín's article about it are very well written. Laurent era un fotógrafo naturalista. Su pasión por la naturaleza, el buceo, la vida silvestre y la fotografía lo había llevado a recorrer diferentes destinos del mundo, incluidos varios viajes a Groenlandia, el norte...

    Spotted: Colmans mustard powder

    I can absolutely understand buying a 1/2 kilo tin. Funny enough I had friend over for lunch and we were laying it thick on the Bocatti. The powder to water ratio is 1/1. You figure a decent sandwich needs a couple tablespoons at least. It's gone in no time!

    Aeroloneas help?

    if you booked through a travel website like despegar or Expedia, call them up and they will help you. If you booked directly, I would call directly again and ask to speak with someone in English.

    If you were planning to do be down here for a year, it might be worth it. But for two and a half months, no way. You will consumed with a sea of paperwork and bureaucracy, not just in purchasing the vehicle, but in crossing boarders with it, selling it, getting the cash in and out of the...

    Which bank to open an account with?

    I would go with HSBC or Citi. Stay away from state run banks like Banco de la Nacion if you can help it.

    Making a living in BsAs

    One thing you really need to accept - it will not be easy for you. Your life will be completely different than it was four years ago. Think about what you really loved about BA back then.
