citygirl, I will contact you, thanks! Montauk, we will reach out to these sites as well. Thanks for the tip.

I have a friend who is doing a sort of exhibition and would like to feature a few classic autos or a bike for the guests. If interested it would include an invite to the event and a chance to show your prize possession to a targeted audience. Please send me a private message. Thanks!

The forms are available at the Embassy and you can request during the interview to pick it up there when it is ready. It is not the normal procedure and if you get thru on the phone they will probably not offer the option as it will be the consul's decision. if they deny the request you can pay...

If you asked that crowd what Shell sells, half of them wouldn't know.

Back to the meat, it is of course a matter of preference, but most Gringos (a limited applicant pool, I understand) comment on the high quality of the meat, no doubt, and the constant fight to get it "jugoso" which is often ignored. Surprisingly, unlike in many other countries, I have a better...

http://www.economist.com/news/leaders/21596515-there-are-lessons-many-governments-one-countrys-100-years-decline-parable "The Argentines remain perhaps the best-looking people on the planet. But their country is a wreck." And the best quote, also true: "... even today, its cooking is based on...

I don't understand how people can expect a company to operate selling items at less than the cost to produce, package, market, stock, etc etc. A campaign such as this is the second step in delegitimization and, as was already noted, could lead to looting and other social unrest. Should it...

I was mistaken. Normally those who rattle on to me about Bush the war criminal usually follow up with something about Chavez the hero. I had you pegged incorrectly. However you seriously weaken your argument comparing Bush to Tojo and Milosevic. I have been to both Baghdad and Srebrenica and...

Traditionally presidents have appointed (sold) about 40% of ambassadorships, usually to the best locations. The remaining slots go to qualified, career diplomats who worked their way up to the job. Not all appointees are a sham. Think of Obama's selection of Jon Huntsman (R) to serve in China...

I may have been a bit snarky but the comments from original poster about consular officials having upset stomachs being the reason his gf didn't get a visa warranted the response. A consular "field office" is called a consulate, and granted Argentina is the largest country in the world by land...

I find it a bit childish when people are denied a visa and attribute it to "passport stamping Foreign Service officers" who "had a bad lunch" instead of to the possibility that they didn't qualify for the visa. Just maybe it had to do with the fact that your girlfriend had weak links at the...

Regarding the servicio obligatorio of the individual who was born in Argentina of diplomatic parents, similar to in the US since he had immunity thru his parents and was not "subject to the laws" of Argentina, he was not obligated to meet those demands. Normally he would not receive citizenship...

Regarding immigrating to the US with your Argie spouse, start the process about a year out from the time when you plan to move to the US. If you do not plan on moving to the US then there is no process to start - your spouse will not become a US citizen unless you are permanently moving to the...

Thanks, I found a mechanic that will work on it. I will research the pads and see what I can come up with. Thanks for the tip.

Brazil.

I have a 2008 Dodge Nitro, poco común, and I need to get the brake pads changed. YPF changed the oil before because I supplied the filters. But they said I had to be "socio" (member) to get my brakes changed. When I tried to join they said that they weren't sure about my vehicle. They sent...

Not to be a wet blanket, but before deciding to do this make sure your relationship is on solid ground. You mentioned your wife is Argentine. If your baby is born here it will be Argentine as well. Should you have marital issues and decide you want to return to the U.S., you won't be able to...

You guys are probably fine since you are entering Argentina and they are lax with the rules and glad to have you here spending money. However, Argentinian immigration, like the immigration of any country, can make the decision at the border on whether or not you can enter the country. The visa...

Thanks, but the options above highlight the worst inconvenience about living in Argentina as a gringo: how to pay for something. The first option allows cash, but they jack up the prices to three times face value: no thanks. The second is reasonable, if you are a rich Argentine. You can pay...

OK, so Mercadolibre is pushing the prices up beyond the reasonable (in my humble and limited opinion). If anyone wants to see I will pay U$D750 for four tickets in any section outside the top nosebleed Alta Norte. Thanks.
