We rented while still tourists, no DNI, but did have a garantia (friends, not family). Before having the garantia we did find a landlord willing to rent to us if we paid well in advance. Not sure your financial situation but you could offer 6 or 12 months rent up front, although you'll likely...

I am no help as far as getting funding but can speak a little as to the differences between US and elsewhere. My husband got a PhD in the UK a few years ago and it was a good experience. Although his degree is in the humanities and the job market's not so great these days:) He chose the UK b/c...

The coupons back can be used on the dates listed on the coupon, about 2 weeks after the promotion, for anything you want. And they only are good for 2-3 days. So you definitely have to be organized and be sure you don't forget to use them. But what a deal, especially if you regularly shop there...

We live with kids a little north of San Isidro, in Punta Chica. We are happy and feel pretty safe after a year here. It's a house, not in a gated community, but the price is reasonable and it has a fantastic backyard.

Martinez is great, could be expensive. We have kids and live maybe a 15 minute drive further north, in Punta Chica, near the river. Large house, fantastic backyard, reasonably priced with garantia (also my husband is paid in dollars). We feel safe, have been here a year. Far from city center though.

I brought my kids from the US in Jan with their records and the doctor said they did not need anything more, only yellow fever if we were going to travel up toward Iguazu Falls.

We came with kids and chose to live in the northern suburbs. We love it sometimes and sometimes really wish we were closer. We have a huge house and a great yard for a great price, but it is a long way into the city. I am scared of driving still (after 9 months) but I came from an area with...

Also have cablevision/fibertel. Don't use the cable much but seems like lots to choose from. It is almost the same price for the package (260/month I think) as just internet, which is why we bought it. I had heard stories of problems with fibertel but where we live it has been fast and...

I think most of the Presbyterian services are in Spanish. http://www.ipsanandres.org.ar/directorio.html But the Presbyterian church in Belgrano (San Andres) has an English gathering on Tuesday nights. https://www.facebook.com/thewellbsas

We watch Netflix and Amazon here on our TV via a Wii all the time and it works great. The Netflix is not the US content but it still has a good bit and we are working on improving our Spanish so we appreciate the subtitles and the children's shows in Spanish for the kids. We use Amazon for...

I have kids at BAICA and we are happy. Classes are small and many teacher are American, which I think translates into a tougher stance against bullying, etc. But it is north of San Isidro, in Punta Chica area, so not in Cap Fed. It's an international school so different calendar and if learning...

Our first year here in BA and we have visitors this week. Is there anything worth doing/seeing on Tuesday for Independence Day? We live a little north of the city and are wondering if we should go into town to see the sights on the holiday or do it another day this week. Thanks!

Iglesia Presbiteriana San Andrés, Spanish-speaking. We go to the one in Olivos but there is also one in Belgrano. We know several families who go there. I think they have Spanish and English services, but not sure.

Very true! When we moved we stuffed ziplocks of Legos for my boys in every available nook and cranny of our luggage and carry-ons. One of the best decisions we made because they entertain for hours:) Grandparents bought them Beyblades from the US last week (about $8-10 each at Target) and they...

Yes, be sure you are very comfortable driving if you move out to Nordelta. I'm from the US, have been here since January, and am still a bit frightened to drive. You generally need to be much more assertive. It doesn't bother my husband though. We are a little north of San Isidro in Punta Chica...

We live further north than these schools and we have only been here since January so I can't really advise about the schools you listed. I have a friend whose sons were very bored during the 4 hours of afternoon English. She did also mention that the schools can be a little wilder than in the US...

My family enjoyed Puesto Viejo estancia in Cañuelas, about an hour away

Agree with paying for extra luggage. You'll be happy you brought more things. Things we are happy we brought... USD$ clothes shoes!!! electronics toys (we brought gallon ziplocs full of legos!) a couple of good quality pots/pans good knives if you like to cook cocoa powder maple syrup spices

Just took my kids to Dra. Nicola Schorm, speaks German (native I think), English, and Spanish. Works with children and adults. No major work done by her yet, just checks for school, but she came highly recommended by our pediatrician and we were impressed. She's in Acassuso, Martín Coronado 810...

Hi there. We are new to the area and our kids go to BAICA. Lincoln and BAICA I believe are the only 2 English schools and the only 2 that follow a more American calendar. They only have an hour of Spanish a day, to meet government requirements. Most of the kids at BAICA are Argentine or at least...
