They're great for the former but not the latter! I'm with you on that - though they do serve you coffee/tea/refreshments, have a great intl magazine collection, etc!

A tad pricey but usually well worth it! Great imported polish collection!

Anyone know of a good spot that pays well for books in English? Have a good amount that are like new - hoping to sell and not have to travel with the weight. Any suggestions besides Walrus in San Telmo would be greatly appreciated! Desde ya muchas gracias!

Yes, I just completed mine in the end of July for permanent residency/dual citizenship. However, I qualified as an immediate relative of an Argentine - not sure about the papers needed for job related residency. If there's something specific you're trying to figure out, shoot me a PM and if I...

Indeed! Coincidentally we just were approved for my Argentine husband's visa to go back to the US. So we'll be packing up soon, and hoping to find other cross cultural/bilingual couples there - fingers crossed!

Yes, Argies typically use the 10% tip rule for restaurants too - The american in me always leaves a little more though!

I always go to the Cerini on Marcelo T (Barrio Norte) for everything from color to brows -- always do an excellent job and are very reasonably priced. Great value!

A bit late on this but just read the thread - as of last month when my husband and I returned from our honeymoon in Europe we had no problems at all with limits/using our Argentine cc in stores and online. They converted EUR to ARG at the official rate and we paid in pesos once back. Hope this...
