This is just so typical....I loathe and hate realtors of all kinds here in Argentina..... the one I have to deal with right now is a witch, she's the most dispicable, downright nasty, mean and irritating human being I've ever met.....like most martilleros LOL. Going to pay my rent and even...

I think another reason why noise pollution on the street, or coming from the street is so bad is also because of construction. Everything here is so condensely packed with buildings and houses, little to no space in between so all the noise get's "corraled" so to speak and emplified because of...

That was early last year right? I remember reading about that....

When my wifes Uncle returned last year from Miami to Ezeiza his bags were pilfered.They stole a new camera that was a gift for my "suegra" and took some toys out that he had bought for his grandkids. They cut it open with something sharp and slipped the stuff out through the side.. I know of...

I CAN read the news and I am fully bilingual so I don't need to watch "Telam" or "Argentinisima" to keep up with life in Argentina. My wife and I ( she's argentine ) we just find alot of local TV here to be quite boring honestly, talk shows especially. Besides, when I go to the coffeeshop they...

$1000 en expensas? No that would definately be in pesos. I know rentals here where I live...average going price is around $4,000 to $4,500 pesos for a decent apartment right now....more in some cases depending location and amenities... My 2 year contract is up soon...to be adjusted 20% for...

You guys will laugh at this but I brought some bags of milled "grits" down with me. I'm from the south so I love grits with my eggs at breakfast. I've even taught my wife to cook homemade biscuits and gravy with "tocino" and eggs, however you want them. I wish I could get some sausage with sage...

One good thing is Argentina has taught me to appreciate more what I have and not to constantly be wanting something "more" I mean in a material sense. My wife has actually helped with that. She came from a poorer working class Argentina family and everything for them has been a struggle. it's...

true good point...carry it as a carry-on LOL Still.....need to wrap everything up.....don't wat the "Ezeiza Airport Luggage Mafia" to get yah....

Hillarious.... Empandas de fugazzs... My wife laughed when she saw this....traditional argentine fugazzeta empanadas...... Of course you can market anything to an american and call it whatever you want...as long as it's full of grease, high fructose and tons of gluten right? My wifes uncle (...

Well, it depends on your rental agreement...did you read it or just breeze through it....? Did you take it to an argentine friend who might be knowledgeable on these matters? Realtors or "martillero publicos" are some of the shadiest most downright sleaziest people in all of argentina...as are...

They all say that.....I've heard the same thing a million times, as many of the other ex-pats have. The don't want to be offensive...it's rarely you'l have an argentine call you out on your spanish whether it's good or horrible. And if you ask them to correct you when you say something wrong...

Spreken zee Lunfardo?

Hillarious....you sound like an Argentine already!! Not from Alabama but my family is all from western Kentucky which is where I spent every summer from the time I was a kid until well in my 20's with my grandparents on their farm. All my family is still up there. I brought my argentine wife up...

I haven't had a TV once in the 8 years or so I've been here LOL....don't miss a thing....

Make sure you "plastic wrap" like crazy all of the luggage that you bring....and I mean wrap it up GOOD and lock the suitcases. I don't know if they've stopped the airport mafia from pilfering all of the luggage...I heard they made some arrests a while back no? Anyways I'm sure their back to...

Well, like I said...I mean...you just have to deal with it and get used to it....unless you live out in the middle of nowhere. But you know, you'd be surprised even how noisy come of the little country towns in Argentina can get too on a weekend at least.. It's just a cultural thing and anyone...

I haven't been to Missiones, in particular "Posadas" since 2008...so I don't know how much it's changed. I tried to get to Paraguay but couldn't. It was the only place I ever visited where I ever saw a traffic jam, a HUGE traffic jam of nothing but mopeds and motorcycles. I like Missiones...
