They are not stamping passports anymore. That seems to be part of the issue here-- OP did not get their passport stamped. Well, no one gets their passport stamped anymore. So don't worry about it.

Tango. I came to BA in 2012, and I was moping around for awhile because I didn't have any friends. I went to some expat events and met people that way. I took some art classes and met some more people. But it wasn't until I started dancing tango that I really started to make friends. (And I...

I have two cats with me here in Buenos Aires. I have to return to Canada for at least a month to deal with a family emergency, but I anticipate being gone for as long as six months. The airline will only allow me to fly back with one cat. I am hoping to leave the other cat here in Buenos Aires...

The promo code doesn't work on the Canadian site. I always pay a $25 CAD fee.

I second the referral. I thought my computer was a goner, but Daniel magically brought it back to life!

I just saw a post on FB's BA Expat Hub. Someone is looking for an Iphone and wants to buy it today! His must have been stolen.

Hi everyone. I went to DHL on Begrano, and the package cost 5800 pesos (approx. $30 USD).

Has anyone sent a letter recently to Canada (or the US) with DHL or FedEx? The quote on the DHL website was $70 USD, whereas the quote from FedEx was 14,000 pesos. Just wondering about other people's experiences. Thanks!

I asked my dentist about an implant-- he said it would $700 USD. This was about two weeks ago.

Hola... I have been living in the same apartment for the last two years and seem to have amassed quite a bit of stuff. I am moving from San Telmo to Congreso. It is not far. I have approximately four or five large suitcases, a guitar, a cat and some heavy artwork (mosaics). I live on the...

This thread kills me! Seriously, LOL. Thank you everyone!! You have made my morning =)

I have found them to be more strict also. In December, they confiscated a bag of dried black beans... In May, they confiscated four blocks of Canadian cheddar cheese. I didn't realize that either were verboten.

It is true... Tango Piola is a predator. His students are tourist women and are usually beginner tango dancers. They find him on Tripadvisor and are attracted by the absurdly low price he charges. I had a class with him in 2012 (2013?) and I can see that he hasn't changed his ways.

Hola! I have enrolled for a mosaic course and have been asked to deposit a small sum into an HSBC bank account in order to secure my spot in the class. How do I do this? I don't have an Argie bank account. Do I have to go directly to an HSBC? Or can I go to a Rapipago or something...

I am intersted in buying a guitar... however, I know nothing about Argentinian guitars, their quality, etc. Does anyone have any suggestions? Best brands? Best music stores? Price range? I am looking for a guitarra criolla (i.e., classical guitar). Gracias!

Hola! I am looking for an orthopedist and am wondering if anyone has any recommendations. My friend is suffering from an extensor tendon rupture... Basically a problem with the bone and tendon of one of his fingers. Hoping for an English speaking Doctor, if possible. My Spanish is pretty...

I used the patch at first and am now using Nicotinell pastillas (2 mg nicotine 'mints'). They are about 125 pesos for 36 but seem to be quite effective at the drugstore. I have no desire to smoke an actual cigarette, however, I realize that I am still addicted to nicotine.

I have a friend whose daughter attends CNBA. He is very, very proud of this... and has (repetitively) told me that the main purpose of attending the school is for the present and future contacts. He also appears to enjoy the fact that he too is now in the loop, as a result of being part of the...

Hola, I am looking for a recommendation for a therapist for my friend. She would prefer to see someone in San Telmo, if possible. Also, does anyone know what the average rates are? Gracias!
