Not a joke, unfortunately... Foreign nationals who have been in the country for more than 90 days must now present a CUIL when picking up money from any of the money transfer services (Xoom, Azimo, etc). Of course, to get a CUIL, you need a DNI and therefore must be a legal resident. Here is...

If you have someone in the US who has cable TV and Internet, the Slingbox is a great way to stream TV (and sports) to Argentina. I have one that gets a lot of use during college football season. :) Anyhow, Amazon has their lowest price ever today on the Slingbox 350 - $99. It might be a good...

We're headed to Uruguay on the Buqueubus and I'm not clear on whether we need to have the license plate number etched on all the windows of the car or not. Supposedly it is a requirement, but we've read online that it's never checked and most people do not do it. Anyone been through this before?

Spotify just launched in Argentina today. It's by far my favorite music service with over 20 million tracks available and lots of great apps and shared playlists too. Surprisingly, the premium version is only $36 pesos per month compared to $9.99/month in the US. I did a full write up about it...
