Google Fi is your answer. With Movistars Global Plan + Google, Fi I receive calls, messages, SMS codes, anywhere in the world. When Google Fi saw that I was out of the country too much they cancelled my 'roaming data' but I am still able to receive 2FA-SMS codes, through them, anywhere in the...

Has anyone used a tracking device here? Specifically for a car?

You have my sympathies. I spent a year trying to get a marriage license but because I had been truthful on my application, saying that I was divorced I was required to produce many documents from the divorce which occurred in 1988. Finally when I presented all the documents they asked for they...

I picked out a new car. The salesman told me that I can pay for it by depositing US$ their US account. Now the dealers admins are saying that it's not possible, they can only accept pesos that are already in Argentina plus the transaction must be approved by AFIP. My funds are in the US and I...

A new law? A holiday?

Same in South Florida. Residents got tired of teenagers partying in the hallways late at night. These buildings got a bad reputation and resale prices dropped. But they don't want to ban Airbnb rentals outright because they provide extra income to some owners and the visitors support local...

Excellent thought. Thanks for the link.

I flew out of MVD a few years ago. It was a smaller but modern airport with a nice shopping mall across the street. I remember that it was cheaper. But given the hassle of taking the ferry then a cab to MVD we never did it again.

Thanks for the suggestions. Yes I see many on the streets but unfortunatley I can never buy a German car let alone a Volkswagen. I'd be riding with too many ghosts. The Chery cars seem to be popular too but I've heard some negative things about them. I'd like to hear from an owner.

Thanks for the info. The car that was just stolen was our second Peugeot and, like you, our experience with them has been very good. Since we keep them for a long time we're probably going to buy a new car and with the dogs and grand kids it'll probably be a SUV. The only reason we're looking...

Our car was stolen this week. It was 8 years old and we're not sorry to see it go. Just happy that we're all safe and unharmed. So we're starting to visit dealers to pick a new car, most likely a medium sized SUV. I see a lot of Fords, Peugeots, Chevrolets on the streets. Anybody have a...

We want to visit friends in Thailand again but this time we're thinking of going West instead of East, possibly stopping in N.Z., Australia, Bali. Can anyone recommend a travel agent that had experience with trips like this? Thanks

Brazil and Argentina are work on a common currency as the first step toward a Latin American version of the Euro. I'm wondering if partnering with Brazil can help Argentina.

Is there any way to get Best Buy or Amazon products shipped here? (without using a mule)? I haven't seen this discussed in a while, hoping there's something new.

Wishing you the same happiness that I found here.

I also travel a lot around the world. I also need to receive 'short sms' verification codes from my financial institution in the US. I have a dual sim Pixel phone. In the E-sim slot I have Google Fi which sends me SMS codes wherever I am. In the other slot I have a Movistar sim with their...

If I'm unhappy with the service I just leave. It's not wise to piss off someone that handles your food, things could go very badly. And also, it's their country, I'm just a visitor here, it's not my place to correct the way they run their businesses.

I wish you luck, but I asked our local roaster for his very best beans. It was horrible.

Because Starbucks buys so many beans they are forced to settle for lower quality (less flavorful beans). To compensate they burn the beans mildly and add layers of flavors and marketing razzle dazzle and offer restaurants that encourage customers to hang out. Our senses of taste and smell...

When I moved to Argentina from the US a decade ago I noticed that the people looked much healthier here and there were very few obese people. Now it seems usual to see people waddling across the street or taking up two seats on a bench. At the same time there are now lots of KFC's and Burger...
