Thanks for the responses. It's nice to know we aren't the only ones with this problem. I kind of thought it wouldn't matter to the Argentines. What I am worried about is that some Delta agent here will read in their computer that we need it and won't let us on the plane. But the instruction...

We have tickets to arrive in Buenos Aires from the U.S. this Friday. My husband is a citizen and I am a permanent resident. We have our PCR tests underway, and I know about the DDJJ form. But on the Delta website I see that we must have the CuidAR app installed. We have, in fact, succeeded...

Exactly what we wanted to know. Thank you!

My husband and I have been in the US since February. But we are getting our covid vaccinations now and are thinking about returning to Argentina for a couple of months. We are wondering if it is worth it. Is life there still very locked down and limited? He is an Argentine citizen and I’m a...

Yes. I wondered about that at the time. My Argentinean husband says your presumption is correct, fear of reprisal. So I guess we were lucky. I thought it was because they didn't expect that we would succeed, so they didn't want to stick their necks out. Maybe they were right in thinking...

About 7 years ago, we had a problem with late-night noise from the apartment above us. We own our apartment, but the one above is a rental owned by the building. We went to mediation against the building, claiming that the tenants were breaking the rules of the building with noise and...

Dr. Norman Darling, Uriburu 1054, Piso 10, 4827-3187 He's nice. He's good. His prices are reasonable. He has dental degrees from both Argentina and the U.S.

Why be snarky? If the potential employer were proficient in English, he/she might not be looking to hire someone here.

I don't know if it is fake, or simply that the wine was mishandled, i.e.perhaps left in hot warehouses for long periods of time, so the wholesalers unload it at discount prices. Whether it is fake, or spoiled, I don't want to buy or drink it. What I do know is that after several weeks of...

It is my experience that many of the items in the Chino supermercados are substandard. Some are out of date, or nearly so. Others have been poorly stored and handled and others are counterfeit. After many bad experiences with supposedly brand-name wines bought at Chinos, we now only buy wine...

The reports/rumors I hear are that Ideal is now supposed to reopen toward the end of this year, but without tango. The new investor group is said to be the one that owns Las Violetas and is planning an upscale cafe/restaurant like Las Violetas. Although Ideal was not originally a tango venue...

I am an American (norteamericana) married to an Argentino and I am commonly called gringa. At first I was offended, but it was carefully and repeatedly explained to me that this is just a descriptive word for a foreigner from Europe or North America and not intended as an insult. After all, the...

How long do you think such a scooter would remain in your possession? Depending on where you start out, my guess is that you definitely would have it stolen in less than an hour, and probably more like 20 minutes.

A friend is traveling to Buenos Aires In October. She has been advised to bring US cash to last the month but she is worried about the safety of having it in her rented apartment. Would she be much worse off financially relying on ATMs and not bringing so much cash? I haven’t been there for a...

Thank you Admin. I hope this helps us get back some of the community's friendliness and utility that seem to have been lost in the past couple of years.

If you were traveling to the US, it could have been a result of the change to daylight time. I left on March 6. My husband left on the same flight on March 14, and it left an hour earlier.

Rodolfo, you are SO right. For "pro lifers" who endorse the rape exception, the issue isn't murder, it is whether the woman had a good time.

I find it helpful when I enter a store or start a conversation or ask a question of someone I don’t know to begin by saying: “Disculpe, no hablo bien el español.” It resets their expectations and most people are really helpful then. A couple of times, pure Porteños have replied jokingly: ”Yo...

Nlaruccia, thanks for introducing me to Paste Mag. It will be one of my new go-to sites.

I am a U.S. citizen with permanent residency (rentista) in Argentina. I recently got married in the U.S. to an Argentine national. I am not interested in Argentine citizenship, and I already have residency, so is there any reason that we would want to inform the Argentine government that we...
