    Looting

    I'm in the US now and there is a big article with photos in the Wall Street Journal this morning. It says basically the same as others I have read, i.e that this is about politics and not about hunger. I can't post the link because I am not an electronic subscriber.

    Limit On Carrying Cash Out Of Argentina?

    Does anyone know for sure under the current rules how many dollars in cash an Argentine (not a tourist or expat) can carry out of the country? I am not talking about acquiring dollars, only about taking them out through Ezeiza. I looked at the AFIP website, and I think it says that you don't...

    Bank account still necessary for renewal of residencia??

    Does anyone know if you still need to have an Argentine bank account to renew a rentista residency? It appears to me that you don't. I looked at both the government website http://www.argentina.gob.ar/tramites/179-pr%C3%B3rroga-de-residencia-temporaria-como-rentista.php and also the Migraciones...

    Medicus walk-in clinic, or the like?

    My Medicus plan has a number to call and they will send a doctor to your house.I don't know if this is true for all plans, but it is worth a try. The system is set up for this, so it is not an abuse of it.

    Work Visa- police clearance disaster

    BellaLove, Don't trust the website for the consular section of the U.S. embassy in Washington. When I appied for temporary residency in 2011, the most recent update on the website for the rules was in 2007. I may be the last person in the world who got a rentista visa with only a local police...

    Where to buy pine nuts?

    New Garden almost always has them. http://www.newgarden.com.ar/QuienesSomos_SPA.aspx As I recall the price a few months ago was 14 pesos for 100 gr. But my recall could be waaaay off.

    Four of us will have a seven-hour layover in Ushuaia on a Saturday in the middle of March. Can anyone suggest a guide with vehicle we can get to pick us up at the airport, show us around and deliver us back to the airport? This may be our only chance ever to see the area. We will also be...

    Kindle Book Club? Or the like?

    I would be happy with either of them. I just won't remember State of Wonder as well as the rest of you. I had it checked out as a library book, so it is no longer on my Kindle.

    What's The Best Way To See Tigre

    What a difference the day makes. When we were there, the German restaurant was the picture of idyllic tranquility, just a couple of tables of people sipping (very cold) beer and watching the birds and the river. The potato pancakes were fabulous. I don't know if people are suggesting eating on...

    What's The Best Way To See Tigre

    When I went this time last year, there was a great German restaurant about an hour out on one of the lanchas. The Estacion Fluvial, or something like that, is the Boat Station. It is just beyond the McDondal's across from the regular station for the trains from Retiro. There is a tourist...
