BaExpatters please help me out as so far getting info has just resulted in arguments btwn my husband and myself... Situation is the following: We've found a terreno we like. The (Argentine) people who own it live in Spain. (They have an apoderado here) Most of our money is in Canada. We...

Some are probably already aware but I just saw this --they've added 2 additional "Puestitos verdes" especiales that accept batteries, phones, old electronics etc http://www.buenosaires.gob.ar/ciudadverde/separacion/donde/puntos-verdes Not all of the recycling posts take them so have a look...

Hey -- I'm asking this for my boss who is back in Canada. We've been working with an Argentine designer (who is based in Rio Cuarto, Cordoba) for years. My boss has gone through various methods for paying him, the Argentine guy always seems to have problems receiving. The latest method they've...

Tampons have obviously lost out to Nisman in the headlines. There's none near me in Urquiza (ie: none at Carrefour, Coto, Carrefour Hipermercados, Walmart constituyentes, none of the chinos nearby, neither of the Farmacities on Triunvirato, none in the Jumbo Ortuzar). Have they been restocking...

I just tried to withdraw money from my account abroad (for the first time in months) and at 3 different machines (Frances, Santander, and Galicia) the machine told me that my card does not work in those machines (I tried all machines in each facility). At Banco La Nacion it looked like it was...

Does anyone here know whether Citi still has the promotion for AA ticket purchases (it was 3 o 6 cuotas sin interes) -- I can't find it on the site, just one from 2013, but not sure whether they really keep the site up to date!

I don't have anything invested in bitcoins, but I know it's been a popular topic on the board, so would love to hear what those in the Bitcoin know have to say now about the latest plunges in the value of bitcoin? Apparently Mt Gox is running it's own version of a corralito...

Does anyone have any recommendations on where to stay, nothing too expensive preferably. Thanks!

Hi there -- I'm in Canada at the moment, I need to get some new glasses made up. Can anyone help me with a few of the following questions: Is it worth my while to buy frames while in Canada and just get the lenses put in when I get back? (I'm between a couple of frames, one for about $175 (cad)...

Has anyone on the board ever pursued one/both of these degrees in Buenos Aires? I know they are obviously directed at Spanish mother tongue students, wondering if anyone has had any success applying as English mother tongue. Not really looking for a 4 year (or 5 as UBA states!) degree but...

Has anyone had any luck finding them here? I got some while back in NA and I forget just how much yummier they are...

We have an Eslabon extractor, I think the filter needs changing, when I turn on the fan it doesn't do anything anymore. Does anyone have any idea where to buy a replacement filter? Thanks!

I've been going to my dentist here for a few years, was happy enough, now this past week I went for a cleaning and she's told me I need all sorts of fillings done. I believe her about the fillings -- I never had any problems with my teeth until I got pregnant, then all hell broke loose in my...

You can now only withdraw $800 USD off of your card when travelling to USA / Europe etc. When travelling to neighbouring countries (Uruguay, Brasil, Chile, etc) the limit is now $100 USD every 3 months. ie. $400 bucks a year...

Curious what people are spending on their metrogas -- we`ve moved to a PH, but we`re in Urquiza so we still get the subsidio -- our bill just arrived this morning and I`m surprised considering how little we had to pay in our last place in Canitas (22-35 pesos avg, highest winter bill maybe 55)...

Is anyone doing this? How did your relative give their equivalent of CDI in their country? As far as we know we need a proof of residence, but my mum called the police in Vancouver and they said they don't do this service, what can we use? Something from her tax records or what? Or is it even...

We have no phone in our new place, so want to put one in -- this gives us the opportunity to maybe change our internet/cable from Fibertel/Cablevision. Wondering whether anyone has taken the bundles from DirectTV -- how's the internet? If I have to choose between Arnet or Speedy which is the...

Has anyone ever had any luck finding these products at a butcher? I know you could probably ask to have it ground, but i think a lot of butchers would give me an evil eye if I asked them to grind lamb! I assume they would just be called cordero, pavo, y pollo picada? If anyone's seen these...

cel phone not able to receive calls for some reason, texts fine -- it's a jailbroken unlocked iPhone 3GS with a personal prepago sim -- any ideas? their customer service of course doesn't answer and I'm not going to switch to a plan if this is still going to be a problem.

Can I travel to Brasil just with my Arg DNI and Canadian passport without a visa, or do I still have to get one? I'm pretty sure the answer is that I need a visa for Brasil because I think it's based on country of issue for passport, but thought I'd ask anyway. Thanks!
