Hi, I'm in BsAs for a month visiting inlaws and it's been awhile (thanks, COVID) so I'd appreciate some advice on the current lay of the land regarding cell phone plans. I need to do some remote work from the apartment we're staying in but there is no wifi installed. I had assumed I'd pop in a...

Hi all, I may have a lead on several groups of visitors from the US to Buenos Aires for about a week centered around December 20th because we're having our wedding there then. Their lengths of stay may vary as may their exact arrival and departure dates. I'm also not yet sure how many people and...

Guys, are any of you aware of what's going on with yerba in the US? I think it's trying to become the next hippie food trend in the style of açai, kombucha, coconut water, or the word "probiotic". I'm in Santa Cruz, CA, where you can't find a decent burrito or chinese food, but you can find...

Hi all, I'm a fake BA expat. I've briefly lived in Argentina but live in the states now. However, I'll be getting married in Argentina soon and I'm trying to advise a bunch of US visitors on the whole dollars peso thing who'll be visiting for my wedding. Basically, I remember how things work...

Hi all, forgive me because I'd bet this was covered once here but the search function isn't the greatest and the laws change so fast I'm hoping for a fresh answer: My girlfriend is from Argentina and will soon be living in the US with me for the foreseeable future. She is also in the states...

Hi all, I'm still looking for the best method to turn my dollars into pesos for my stay here. I have cash, but could also use xoom.com. Cuevas kind of sketch me out but if the rate is better than xoom, and someone can recommend a specific place, I could be talked into it. Also, other than basic...

So, in the states I buy kitty litter that is roughly the size of rock salt, only flatter. The main thing I've come to appreciate about it since living in BsAs is that it forms clumps whenever and wherever my cat makes something in it, facilitating easy disposal of offending cat waste with a...

Hi all, sorry for any redundancy, but the technology changes so fast, I feel the need to ask again: I'll be in BsAs this thursday with a used iPhone 3GS I just got. It is locked by AT&T here in the states. Will I be able to use it at all with my Personal SIM card? or should I bring my old "dumb"...

Hi all, I'm an inter-patriate who's in the states right now. My argentinian girlfriend will be visiting for several months and I was curious is any of you had advice on how she could obtain an international or interamerican driver's license in BsAs. Seems there's lots of good info for expats...

Hi all, I'm curious about people's thoughts on those little fuyi tabs that are mosquito repellents or insecticides or I don't know what. For the uninitiated, they're little perfumed cards that you slide into an electric contraption that heats them, and the fumes somehow prevent mosquitoes from...

Hi, Does anyone have any experience with Argentinians visiting the US? Here's the situation: I met a wonderful Argentinian woman last August in the US. She has some type of valid US visa, probably a student one (she was there for a short course) but possibly a regular tourist visa (B2, I...
