    New Asian / Vietnamese Closed-Door Restaurant In San Telmo..

    Just wanted to share my recent experience with this new Asian closed-door restaurant called “Gula”…. Had a lovely dinner there and the dishes and flavors were spot on. The pork dish was amazing and was my favorite. It’s a fixed three-course menu, which I believe changes frequently. The setting...

    Recommendation 14 Day Cruise From Buenos Aires To Valparaiso

    We did the 14 day Celebrity Infinity from BA to Antartica/Falklands last month. It's the same ship that goes to Valparaiso. It was a fun trip and definitely recommend it. It was our first Celebrity trip. The ship was nice. Service was good overall, but we've experienced a bit better with NCL...

    Tarifa No Válida Para Extranjeros.

    Dont worry. As long as your DNIs are valid, the lower 'resident' fare applies to you. When the airlines say "extranjeros", they mean foreigners without AR citizenship nor residency (DNI).

    Again: Who Much Do You Pay Your Cleaner?

    FWIW; Gov. mandated minimum salaries get updated every year, usually sometime between September and November. The recent update included a 30% raise, a new form (F.102/RT), and a requirement of providing ART (insurance) for your housekeeper. This took effect in Oct/Nov 2014. If you don't...

    Has Anyone Lived In Puerto Madero

You read the same comments like "it's not true Argentina", etc... :) But seriously? do you think that anyone who can not afford to live in...

    Iphone App To Automatically Switch Between Languages?

    It's an apple issue that's been there since they introduced multi keyboards. I also iMessage in multiple languages and have to remember to switch the keyboard for each particular conversation before the auto-correct takes over. It's annoying, and also surprising that apple hash't added a simple...

    Reselling Ipads In Argentina

    Hmm... Like Sleuth, I've been selling stuff (mostly Apple electronics) on ML since 2007, and never had such stunt pulled on me. I always sell my items at the lowest price listed. They always sell quick, and never had any issues with any of the buyers (or with any sellers I've purchased from)...

    Is There A Small, High Quality/ Speed Internet Company Here?

    iPlan does fiber optic, but for small to large businesses. Although they do have at least one residential building wired here in PM through their condo association. They used to advertise on billboards in the past, so maybe that's one you saw. http://iplan.com.ar On a side note; Friday we...

    Supermarket Blackout Movement /tomorrow Friday

    Government likes to blame private businesses for causing inflation by raising prices. Followers fall for that, and think boycotting "greedy" supermarkets can make a difference. ...They should put the K-pipe down and watch this instead:

    Verizon "global Phone" Not So Global.

    The Verizon iPhone 5 and 5s are basically unlocked GSM phones that also have a CDMA chip inside (for Verizon). As I understand, in the US they use the CDMA chip for Verizon voice/service and the GSM chip for Verizon data LTE/4g. But if you swap the Verizon GSM chip for another carrier (US or...

    Verizon "global Phone" Not So Global.

    With Verizon we have a 2yr contract plan. It's a CDMA phone that has a GSM chip for LTE (4g) data connection. The phone's GSM chip is unlocked and can be used for voice/data with any other carrier. Verizon also has a month to month plan, but you end up paying as much as the regular unlocked...

    Verizon "global Phone" Not So Global.

    Yes, we have used the Verizon iPhone 5 here in the past, upgraded, and we are now using the Verizon iPhone 5s in Argentina. Works well, and our local carrier is Claro (contract plan with data). We simply pop out the Verizon chips here and swap it for our local Claro chips (and reverse that when...
