    Keeping US bank cards while living in Argentina?

    I just went back to a place I said I would never return to, except in the winter - Houston - miserable. I'm planning to head to Spain soon, will be selling the apartment in BA eventually. At 67 years of age, my plans don't involve returning to USA, and quite frankly, they can burn it down as far...

    Keeping US bank cards while living in Argentina?

    Sadly, banks care far too much about details that we should be able to keep private - and I'm not referring to anything illegal or immoral.

    Keeping US bank cards while living in Argentina?

    Silvie, do you have some insight as to why one should be concerned with their credit record when they have no intention to return to the USA?

    Calling an 877 number from Argentina

    In the past, MobileVoip had no restrictions re: toll free numbers. Load up for €10, bang away - many calls free or nearly so.

    Getting Home Internet in Buenos Aires

    Check this out: https://sonetel.com/en/ I've never used this service. But if I was in a jam, I'd be willing to check it out. Could get you a quick BA number.

    How is the civic discourse and sense of community in AR?

    When I am outside of the USA, and not just in Argentina, I can't help but notice the people who read. Like, words on paper. Many people in Argentina are happy to chat with strangers on any number of topics.

    Grammar school in San Antonio TX - compulsory Spanish taught by penguins. Glad I got the foundation!

    Tariffs: 10% for Argentina; 42% for Malvinas

    I dunno, but somebody badly misspelled Falklands.

    What is the food you miss most from "home?"

    I can relate. For years, I had a pattern any time I spent more than a couple of weeks in BA - first meal back in the states was Tex-Mex, whether breakfast, lunch, or dinner...sometimes, straight from the airport.

    Disappointed with Food in Argentina

    Miami's not the US - it's Little Havana!

    Disappointed with Food in Argentina

    But all silver linings have a dark cloud. Total Wine is decent enough, but they choose not to do business with several importers that many in-the-know consumers look to for quality and consistency. Total Wine prefers to self-import and run margins that would make their selected products...
