    Shipping Pets Requires A Private Company? Is This True?

    As most responses mentioned, it depends entirely on the airlines. In my case, I will be flying with Qatar Airways (South America to Asia) with my 1 year old cat. They do not require any private companies to do the logistics. All they require is that the animal has the valid health...

    Looking For A . . . To Donate Clothes

    So we're looking for a place / institution / agency / etc where we can donate used clothes. Anyone know of a place or can recommend any? Also, we'd prefer not to pay to donate those clothes (re: tongue in cheek about places that require people to pay to volunteer)

    Korean Food

    Otherwise just go to BBQ Town in Bario Chino. It's the only Korean restaurant in Bario Chino and it cuts the hassle of making the journey to Flores. It's a buffet, so go crazy! The spicy soup is ideal for a chilly or rainy day (which it was when I tried it). https://www.facebook.com/BBQtown

    Spicy Ramen & Pork Buns At New Fukuro Noodle Bar!

    It was awesome! The buns are a definite must. And if you want to change proteins for certain dishes, go ahead and ask. They can change to suit your taste buds. And the service was excellent (for Buenos Aires standards). Highly recommended, especially if you're bored of pastas, pizzas and...

    Can I Marry An Argentine On My Expired Tourist Visa?

    I went through the same thing. Don't worry about it. When I got married, my tourist visa was a few months expired. I went to the court, the migraciones office and the civil registry to find out and all of them told me that it does not make any difference. Actually, the migraciones said...

    Repairman / Technician For A Fridge

    This really iffed me to bits this week. I have a fridge with a problematic door. Basically, the door is off the hinges and in order to open and close it, I'd have to do some lifting and manoeuvring. It's not even a technical / electrical problem. So I called 5 different service places who...

    Postal Service In Argentina

That was the first trip to customs next to EZE. My friend then sent me the list...

    Migration Office In Capital Federal (Ba) & Visa Issues

    I was there 2 weeks ago. Had to submit to them a copy of my passport (with a page with the details of my passport as well as the page that has the Argentine entry stamp on it). Then it took 5 working days I think for them to process it with InterPol. After which, you go back to the same...
