I have a question on a tourist visa overstay (by a few weeks), for a baby. What might happen/ what are my options to avoid? Colonia visa run, paying the fine at the airport (or a gov. office in advance)? The parents won't have an overstay. Thanks!

Does anyone know how much it is to wrap 1 bag in plastic wrap at Ezeiza (more or less)? Trying to figure out how many pesos I need to hold on to. Thanks!

UBA is pricey, but the prof's are very good... especially if you are still working through different verb forms. A lot of other institutes/ pvt instructors copy the UBA coursebooks (for a reason). Also recommend going to group classes (dancing, yoga, anything) and Couchsurfing events (esp...

El Niño - you aren't too far off, assuming you're not living in a posh neighborhood. Buenos Aires living expenses are incredibly low compared to North America (esp. rent). Monthly expenses: Groceries = AR$500/week (for vegetarians); so 250/person Dining out = AR$100 (neighborhood place) to...

Tofu - there's a place that makes their own - Defu (Arribeños 2233)... the marinated tofu and fried ones are great & it's super cheap. There's also fresh noodles. Also, Asian veggies (anywhere), and legumes (Casa China). Avoid the bubble tea - the tapioca pearls are like mushed peas

Does anyone know a place/ person that makes fileteado signs (curly lines/ flowers)? Looking to get a small one personalized. Thanks!

I second mercado libre - just make sure you can check out the bike first. In May or June, I'll be selling my trusty bike before moving

I'm in the same boat! Does anyone know where to find dehydrated vegetables -or- quick cooking rice (5 mins or less)? Thanks!

If you're non-Argie, then foreign credit card -or- cash (in dollars) are the only two options. I did credit card for Seacat a few weeks ago, worked out to about US$ 40 total

Try a dietetica - they have basic vitamins. Pricier/ smaller quantities than back home though

Now it's come to this in some stores (yes, that's a sec. tag on a tuna package, dios mio):

I'd be up for a drink - or gathering for a wine tasting night to try new Argie vino (maybe at a resto that allows byo?)

Unfortunately import restrictions apply to maple syrup... making it crucial to have friends/fam. pack bottles in lots of bubble wrap when they visit.

Need to go shopping for a hot plate/ electric stove... any recommendations for reliable brands? Thanks!

I’d pick outside Palermo Soho – it’s very nice to visit, but would be hard to do daily shopping. I’m also veggie – I think every neighborhood is about the same for getting veggie food – you’ll have tons of veggie/fruit stores, some dieteticas (health food stores), and hopefully there’ll be a...

Surprised there wasn't already a massive discussion on this - blue dollar ends Monday: www.lanacion.com.ar/1658112-jorge-capitanich-hemos-decidido-autorizar-la-compra-de-dolares-para-tenencia-y-ahorro

In early Dec., my Argie boy bought us RT domestic flights in pesos with Aerolinas. He got the local price, I got the foreigner price (in pesos- about a AR$1000 more than locals). Glad we did it this way, because we're both legit & can check bags.

Anyone know of legitimate charities for street children in the city (for donations/ possibly volunteering)? thanks

Anyone have recommendations for institutes/ individual teachers for English? The Argie bf (who's fluent in English, but wants to improve professional/ academic writing) is trying to track down a good teacher for a few months. Thanks!
