Thanks :) my mother-in-law starts to ask me very nicely but very often when i will have a baby ( I am 30). I was talking to my girlfriends about it today and they were asking me what age women have children there, i couldn't really answer but i didn't recall meeting many women younger than me...

hi everyone, i know i am asking for a generalisation but generally, what age do middle class, university educated women have children in Argentina? Or in BA to be more specific? p.s. i realise the title is wrong, it is late here.

If you don't have a womb you don't need to have an opinion on abortion.

When i get sick in Argentina, as long as it is not too serious i wait until i am back in Australia or at work in South Africa to see a doctor or a dentist etc.My mother inlaw suffered some very serious burns last year - the doctor in the burns ward told her to put vaseline on it. They don't make...

Chevron in Argentina is one of the few good things Argentina has going for it.

mariposa you forgot the rest of the joke! How does an argentine commit suicide? He jumps off his ego - but it isn't the impact that kills him, he starves to death on the way down!

Uruguay has recently legalised abortion, I don't know if it will only be legal for citizens or if this will become a huge industry for the country considering it is the only one in the region that gives women the right to choose how many children they have and under what circumstances and the...

Perhaps she thinks that because things like food, telecommunications, petrol, appliances and shampoo cost more in B.A. than they do in Sydney it means that the economies must be comparable? Does this mean no one will starve to death this year? Perhaps i should go and buy a gold watch to wear in...

Just burn them and walk away.

Apathy is catching, who you surround yourself with you become. I've found Argentines to not to be particulary interested in anything outside of their country - and if they are from BA nothing outside of their city. I find it interesting that in Argentina i almost never have anyone ask me...

Also just to add the Teatro Colon is amazing. Just pay the ticket and enjoy the experience, a visit to the Teatro will make you richer.

This is just about expectations and attitude. I have travelled over 30 countries and worked in 5 countries and i really believe that as a tourist Argentina is one of the most beautiful and interesting places for a holiday (although i don't count BA as a great city of the world but that is...

This is an ok salary if you have no experience in your field and are looking at it more as a cultural experience. BA is not cheaper than most south european countries - or any east european countries and more expensive than South Africa (great country to be an expat btw). My brother-in-law and...

That it is.

When i visit BA i always bump into tourists who tell me how amazing they find the city, i never had this experience, not even the first time. With the kind of work i do i wont spent all that much time in the city so it should be ok. I think a year will be enough for my husband to realise that...

i spent 3+ months in Italy, Peru and Argentina last year and Argentina was bu far the poorest value for money of the 3. I don't think many expats are living there for the low cost of living, most expats surely have a better standard of living in their home country but have chosen to live in...

I'm really hoping that my husband will quickly enter that catagory. I normally like being there until family start pestering me to get pregnant, this usually happens within the first 20 minutes.

Obviously i wont be making my descision based soley on this forum. I don't think anyone ever moved anywhere based on an internet forum. I'm interested in reading the experiences of people who are expats in argentina in case i become one. I don't think there's anythng wrong with research.

Ashley - thanks for your reply :) Dipoots - I'm actually a woman with an Argentine husband and with the costs of flying in south america i would be losing money by flying him to and from Colombia as opposed to the company flying me in and out of Africa. I do however prefer the Idea of living...

perhaps there needs to be a world vision style sponsor an expat? If i ever get out of my sponsor your in-laws commitment i will consider signing up!
