    Expat Life In Nuñez - Call For Recommendations

    I lived in Nuñez for a year and a half (during my entire stay in BsAs) at Libertador y Jaramillo, so not too far from where you're moving to. At first I didn't like it, then I grew to like it, then I started not liking it again. As far as where you're moving, I'm not a fan of Cabildo at all...

    Pesos On The Plane Info.

    Yes, I know you have to declare it but my two questions: 1) Can a family only carry $10,000 together? or each of us can carry $10,000 and 2) What happens if you declare it? Are you taken to a back room and interrogated and later you receive something from the IRS about paying taxes on it?

    Pesos On The Plane Info.

    Has anyone experienced this traveling as a "family" and transporting over 10,000? My husband (from here) and I (American) want to take a bunch of cash to the US to deposit in my bank acct there but I've read if you're traveling together you're limited to 10,000 together. And I know that you can...

    Camera Repair

    I have a decently nice Canon digital camera that fell a few weeks ago and the lens won't retract anymore. Does anyone know of a reliable place to repair cameras in the city? I looked about getting it fixed in the US when I visit but it's over $150 and I bought the camera for around $300 some. I...

    No Curry Paste In Barrio Chino

    Last week I saw the red and green curry pastes in the bag at Ichiban (in the aisle on the right side of store, towards the front of the store) for 60 pesos. In Casa China I only saw green curry paste.

    Phuket

    I tried to go a few weeks ago on a Friday at 8:30 and the owner asked if we had reservations, we said no, and he said sorry - no tables available. The restaurant is quite small inside but there were maybe only 2 other couples there. We tried again last week and made a reservation. We got there...

    Getting Fingerprints for FBI

    I went through this process in recent months. I went to the US Embassy to get the fingerprints cards so I didn't need to print them out. I asked for two cards, just in case. So I got the fingerprints done at my local police station in Nuñez and it was fast and easy. I made sure they did the...

    Dehumidifier?

    Thanks for all the suggestions! We live in a building less than 2 years ago and had the same problem last year. Surprisingly, it's a problem only when the weather cools down. It's likely a problem with the constructions of the building.The built-in closet is the worst and it's incredibly...

    Dehumidifier?

    Hi all, I'm looking to buy a dehumidifier for our one bedroom apartment. I looked on mercadolibre for "deshumidificador" and came back with limited results. I don't want one of those huge ones, just a small or medium sized one. I checked the websites for Sodimac and Easy as well and came back...

    Where Can I Find Soy Milk?

    I went to Barrio Chino today to the Productos de Soja store and got some rice milk flavored with mani and it's pretty good! And only $10 for a large bottle. Next time I'll try to soy milk.

    Indian - Thai food

    My husband and I went to Taj Mahal last in Palermo (on Nicaragua) for Indian food and we both left extremely full and pleased. He had chicken masala and I had a veggie dish, and both of us asked for our dishes to be extra spicy. It came back at just the right spiciness level. Also, there are 40%...

    Getting married in Argentina.

    I got married at the Registro Civil in Belgrano (on Cabildo) last week. My husband is Argie, I'm American. We made the appointment a month in advance and I had to come in for a Spanish "test" to see if I needed a translator or not. The lady asked me these questions (in Spanish): "why did you...
