    Special flight to the USA / 26 March

    Is anyone on this flight? I need to go because I am going to run out of money here and my business is kaput. The problem is I have two cats, so I need someone to take the other cat. I will pay.

    Uber's dark side...

    It happens. In fact pajero cab drivers are quite common. Just because they are often old doesn't mean they stop being pervs.

    Violent protests in Chile: Will this spread to Argentina?

    This is one of the geniuses from the Galt's Gulch scam. People invested all their money in a 'Libertarian utopia' in Chile but it was a big fraud. To his credit, he didn't see it to the end. I believe one of the fugitive scammers, Ken Johnson is hiding out in Mendoza, maybe he even reads this...

    Western Union money transfer

    I must be missing something because I just looked into sending via western union and it gives me this rate: 1.00 USD = 65.0843 ARS which is about the same as Xoom and it takes four days, plus you have to download their app.

    This should be interesting

    My friend who was a government official under the previous administration is ecstatic. Once again all he will have to do to earn a very nice income is put on a suit twice a month and go into the office to get paid.

    What Latin American Countries have normal, working mail service?

    I am remembering why I left this forum. Not only did my question not get answered, I even got a condescending, presumptuous pm about how I need to adjust to life here. Yeah, after 16 years — thanks for the advice! I figured out the problem on my own -- turns out there are other Latin American...

    What Latin American Countries have normal, working mail service?

    I'm confused. Flying to Miami is a lot of money. A lot more than going to another Latin American country, so I am confused by this suggestion. Also I would have to pay for hotels and all that. Thanks for the link above, but I don't understand why I would need third party service. You can't...

    What Latin American Countries have normal, working mail service?

    Hello! I have to get a number of electronic and other items from Amazon so I was thinking to combine a trip (to a country with a working postal service) and get them delivered to wherever I go. My question is what Latin American country could I go to where I will have no problem receiving items...

    Swedish Tourist Shot in San Telmo His Leg Amputated

    What is disappointing is that the cops aren't out here talking to people to find the shooter. I live right in the neighborhood and ride my bike around all the time, know who the delinquents are (everyone does) and saw some strange things that very night. One was a young neighbor, a ni-ni I've...

    RIP Michael S. Smith & Wife Polina

    I haven't signed in here in a long time for same reasons as many others. But I came across the information that this Michael S. Smith fellow (who asked for helped on this forum) and his wife both met an untimely end not long ago. This person was obviously struggling with a mental illness...

    Can A Landlord Increase Rent Even Though You Have A Contract

    I hate to say the Union didn't help me much after I payed the fee, aside from calling out the administrator for claiming she couldn't understand me due to my accent. (My Spanish is very good, in fact I had a more sophisticated vocabulary than her, but she'd act like I was the dummy who couldn't...

    Dealing with noisy neighbour in an apartment block

    I did the same process. They didn't show up to the 2nd mediation either. Then they tell you your only recourse is to file a civil suit. Totally impotent system.

    Alternatives For Paying An Argentine Designer From Canada

    Just curious, Schwab doesn't? I asked when I called them the other day b/c I'm honestly worried about one friend in particular who keeps all their money stashed in cash at home. A Spanish-speaking rep called back shortly afterward very eager to help facilitate the process. As for the OP I'd...

    I just sent a message as I host one of these free exchange platforms on my website and facilitate transactions and have direct contact with the owner if there is a problem. What you can do to get USD is send it to Uruguay and go pick it up. Saludos.

    Overstayed Visa--How Many Times Is This Acceptable?

    Your dedication to this value system is admirable -- I miss that 'always do the right thing' attitude, but it seems you haven't yet encountered the corruption and maladroit that can make trying to maintain that perspective here a soul-crushing experience. It will be interesting to hear your...
