Hi there, The actual name of the group is "Ivy Leage Ex-Pat Alumni in BsAs." I don't know if it will work or not, but this is the link that's showing up for me for the page: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=60154218637 We'd love to have you join us!

After several failed attempts at getting in touch with local ivy league collegiate clubs, 6 of us (representing 4 of the schools) who are currently located here in Buenos Aires have created our own group with regular events. If you're interested in joining us (our average age is 25) or know...

I'm going to be visiting my boyfriend in India next month and need to get malaria pills before going. Does anyone know how easily they are to get here or if only certain physicians or pharmacies carry them? Thanks for any advice!

Fishface: As far as the unlimited transfers goes, the amount is, unfortunately a central bank limitation. There are others as well that are unique to Argentina. For example, it is illegal for a person to transfer money directly from Argentina to Jersey and a few other offshore places. Hence...

Hi everyone, This might be a bit on the early side, but I wanted to make an introduction as I've been perusing these threads periodically these days. I'm a 24 American relocating from NYC/London to work in finance for 2 years. I went to Argentina for a tango festival about a year and a half...

Hi Amat, Just to address your question about cats. I'm moving down to BsAs in August and have the same issue. I talked to the HR people in charge of relocation for me and they were reasonably helpful. They said that it depends on the owner, but cats are usually fine for rentals (dogs can be...
