Hahahah but do you a speaka my language?

I'm in too... will bring some vegemite.... a friend and my better half.

PhilipDT, instead of real estate agents, have you tried http://www.soloduenos.com.ar/? You can save yourself a lot of money by dealing directly with the 'dueno'.

You can try searching www.clarin.com.ar for 'alquiler por temporada'. It has a great selection.

Bradlyhale, are you also referring to child trafficking controls? When she leaves Australia they ask for her Australian passport. When she arrives in Buenos Aires, they ask for her Argentine documents.... DNI and Passport. Australia has passport controls when leaving the country. They also...

The data matching facilities now available to customs officials very advanced. Most of the technology is free so for anybody to assume that passport numbers are ignored borders on ignorance. An interesting twist - My daughter has both australian and argentine citizenship which means that when...

Hi Daniel Yes, argentina is quite a culture shock. I would suggest that you follow your passions, whatever they may be. It doesn't matter where you are, if you follow your desires you will be very content and happy. Good luck! Regards, Cangurito.

i wager it's just a joke.... Very funny ironhead, i'm looking for the camera.

I will help you to get started for free. Just send me a pm.

White chocolate, i think somebody is having a sugar rush. Replacing the USD as the worlds reserve currency is probable. One year ago bernanke floated the idea that the US currency would be replaced. Since then, both china and russia have discussed it publicly. If it is a mexican stand-off like...

arty, there are a few on this board, myself included, who get all worked up over, even hot and bothered when the words used to describe facts and events are not as precise as expected. As far as im concerened, you could have used any word to describe your experience and somebody would have had...

Arty, did they search any other cavities besides your pockets? I'm sorry, but what happened is actually quite funny. I'm pleased they didn't lock you up for the night. In canberra, my australian home, the police cannot search you unless you verbally abuse them or give them 'due cause'. If you're...

redrum, you nailed it. I want to thank everybody else for their contributions too. This has turned into an excellent debate.

This makes a lot of sense.to me. Thanks.

i must admit to being completely clueless on the double currency standard, the use of pesos and us$ in argentina. Properties are sold in dollars, title deeds quote dollars and people buy and sell dollars everywhere. Other than argentines being nervous about holding pesos, is there a legal or...

The people here are reaponsible for the governments they choose to elect and without a responsive judicial system investment will continue to be thin. The dollar collapse is not imminent and will happen over several years. Interestingly, argentina is being protected from the credit crunch...

This makes sense to me even if the title deed quotes USD or pesos.

Only a fool would believe the crisis is over. How can an economy that spends and borrows more than it produces ever expect to grow or repay the interest on debt? It's quite laughable really.

Smirkypants, the sky began falling economically speaking in 2007. The financial cyclone has not passed and we are in the eye of the storm. Don't be fooled into thinking the worst is over. Next: commercial real estate defaults, more money printing, less money lent by chinese, higher interest...

What will be the impact on argentine property values if the USD continues to devalue and is ultimately replaced by an new international reserve currency backed by gold and oil? Will argentina ditch the dollar for the new reserve? Will property valuations be performed using the new currency or...
