In my case, I’m from Sweden and my husband Argentine. We met in Europe in 99 so we have been together for a long time. I left Sweden then, but we didn’t settle in Argentina until 12 years ago. Why? Because my husband thought that family was important to him.It turns out that they are not that...

He was shot in the thigh and the artery was damaged, as posited in another post. The dad says that he slapped away the gun “on instinct”. All according to an interview in Aftonbladet. Swedish people are not used to being in danger and might not react as well as they should in a stressful...

In the end they didn’t even want to hear about my two children born I Argentinia nor my husband since I had two years of recidence.. My question would probably be why in such a hurry to get citizenship? I know that I did it because I want a passport that doesn’t cost a fortune to renew every...

I did it in Zapala (that’s my area). There they were helpful but I still had to complete many extra steps. I had to get the police report from my country twice since the first time it expired before I got it in to the right people. The second thing was that I had to translate the English...

Hmm... how can I be politically correct about this? It is very easy to romanticize a past that isn’t evident anymore. A society that didn’t have writing only has oral traditions to base its history on. And by definition that history has either been subtly changed in every retelling or coloured...

There is a regular shuttle bus (aeroangostura) to the bus station and many local car rental companies deliver the car at the airport. The airport is about an hour away.

I will forever champion Villa La Angostura. A small village with day long hikes that begin at your door...

Here in Patagonia you can’t cross the border with an Argentinian vehicle if you don’t have a permanent address in Argentina. And can prove it... with an Argentine ID. You could possibly get around that by registering the vehicle with a citizen and then get a notarized permission to bring it...

Anything that is taken orally, including suplements, must be declared separately. There is a special process for that. I was trying to get a parcel out without actually knowing what was in it and I overheard the customs officer explaining to the client in front of me. She was trying to get...

I didn't know that um, Peer to Peer prostitution is legal. I learn something every day.

Winterfell, thank you for your feedback. I have taken it to heart the same way I always do to examine my own beliefs. I wasn't going to meet you arguments because that was not the point of my post. However, prostitution is not legal and hunting is. The hunters have to stay somewhere and even...

I'm not a hunter so I can't give you any specific information. If I come across any I'll let you know in private. Look at Isla Victora in the lake Nahuel Huapi. The hunting trips go out from Bariloche or Villa la Angostura. Please look for a certified hunting guide, it's important so that the...

The detail is fantastic. I'm amazed that you could remember all the steps afterward.

For us in VLA it seems to mean paved roads in the city centre and a rather controversial bypass road 500 meters from my house. Now we have something that they euphemistically call ripio. There may be some micro loans available as well. My part of Patagonia has got lots of potential for...

My husband is currently tracking down a package sent from the US through USPS. I'm running backup at home looking up the information he needs as he follows the yellow brick road through AFIP to aduanas. It was much easier to have things sent by DHL as we prepaid the taxes, but that wasn't an...

As they say here: The best place to buy a computer in Bariloche is Osorno.

I heat up full fat milk to finger temperature (about 1,7 l) and mix it with a pot of Yogs natural yogurt. I pour it into a two liter thermos and let it sit for 12 hrs in a warm spot. Then I pour it into a bowl and beat by hand to work out the lumps. I then let it sit in the fridge, in a jar with...

Yep, then you go to Patagonia and you have to stop in the roundabout to let people enter. We also have a PARA sign on the RUTA 40 because there is a speed bump. A sign that the municipality can't touch because Nación put it up. And nobody gives way to the right, biggest and fastest drives...

We paid the taxes to the provider who paid it to DHL who paid it to Aduana. if it's sent by Correo Argentina then you have to generate a VEP. That is more difficult. You need a Cuil to begin with and a level 3 security level on the AFIP website. Our provider seems to be on board with the process...

We ordered some car parts from the UK and they arrived OK to us in Patagonia. Nothing major, just part for the locks, a new grill and some other details. We had them sent through DHL and paid the taxes before. We paid with an Argentine credit card. The two packages took three days from order...
