Hi all, if any Norwegians are browsing here, the Norwegian community organizes a May 17th Celebration on Sunday May 17th, in the Scandinavian Church. (The celebration here in BsAs is always on a Sunday but for once the day and the date actually coincide.) Send me a PM if you want more info! I do...

Hi friends, any idea where I can get a Spanish-Korean dictionary? I checked Mercado Libre but only English-Korean. (It is for a friend who doesn't know English.) I am assuming I could get something in Barrio Coreano in Flores but I was hoping for something closer to the center of town. If you...

I really like dancing chacarera and other Argentine dances, so I thought it would be nice to start a thread with ideas and recommendations! Patio provinciano in San Telmo, on Balcarce and Umberto Primo. Sundays from 15:00 onwards, seems to end around 23 or 24. Really relaxed and fun. A new to...

Amigos, some American/European friends are coming to visit in two weeks. They would like to have a babysitter come to their hotel one or two evenings. They live in Brazil so the kids speak English and Portuguese. They are 2 and 10. Any recs?? Feel free to send a personal message if you don't...

Sorry for the strange title, was trying to get several pieces of info in there... Today I took a class in Belgrano R, an area I do not frequent much, and I loved it! So beautiful. I will be going there every Friday from 9 to 13 for the next five months so I would love to get some...

I hope it is OK that I am opening a new thread, because my question is a little different: the other thread was about whether expats should feel free to openly criticize the politics of their new country, while my question is the following: Do you feel comfortable expressing opinions under your...

I need to buy a compact all in one/multifuncion but I find it difficult to find reviews on the ones available here. I read reviews for some of them, or similar models, on Amazon, but if somebody can recommend me one, that would be great! Preferably no more than 2500 pesos. For personal use...

I read with interest this thread about very noisy neighbors, but I wanted to ask about demolition/construction sites. A couple of months ago, they started tearing down the low building next to mine, to build a seven-story one. They are still working on demolition and it is loud! I know that BsAs...

This will probably be deleted right away because it is indeed nothing but a personal attack, but WTF is your problem?? I have had you on "ignore" for months but sometimes I read it anyway, either because of a quote or whatever. In this last thread about being denied entry, your last two comments...

Hello again all-knowing forumites! I am asking for some Norwegian friends, they want to bring a girl from Norway here, sort of like an au pair. They want her to be here legally and not have to leave the country every three months. Some of my Argentinean friends say that it is possible to hire a...

I come again asking for help... Any suggestions on where I can take passport type photos close to Migraciones? (Retiro area.) Thanks!!

So I screwed up, and I am feeling pretty stupid. I have a turno at Migraciones Monday at noon for the residencia precaria. Got my police report with DHL from Norway, got my Argentine police report, I am within 90 days of last entry, etc. BUT I hadn't really given much thought to the Certificado...

Good morning! I am currently in a temporary rental, but need a new place for September 1. I got my current apartment through AirBnB - we took the conversation offline and I got a great deal for four months, so it worked out really well. But now I would like to have a longer term rental, and...

Hello! I am using all the other regular channels, but figured I would put a note here as well just in case someone knew of something good. Starting in September I would like to move to another apartment. I am looking for something in Villa Crespo (definitely my first choice), Palermo (not...

I have read basically everything on the board about health insurance from the last few years, and while concensus is that OSDE is best, it is too pricey for me. I am now trying to decide between Medicus, with their expat plan, or Swiss Medical. I would go for the "second to lowest" plan with...

I am wondering how people with a degree from a US university have done this: I am considering applying for a masters degree at UBA and for the transcript/diploma, they ask for the following: 1.1 Diploma de graduación y Certificado de estudios analítico con el sello del Ministerio de Educación...
