Nice area. We have a house in Olivos. There is a good cafe shop near South of the pargue. The pargue has a artist market. Taco Box is under the Tren de la Casa for good mexican food and my favorite pizza place is La Favrolla ? sp on Malpu.

Looks like we aren't the only ones who keep receipts to prove the real cost of inflation. Earning pesos here and trying to get by is getting harder. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aUcCa9tRT.7k&pos=7

Thanks for pointing that out SaraSara...Mar de plata isn't too far if you drive it.

Go South of the city to Mar del Plata. They have a lovely, natural history museum.

Try the Buenos Aires Herald on Sunday. Also, realize that if you move to the country and find a job you will be mostly like paid in Pesos at a local salary. Lincoln will pay you in Peso if you move here then get a job with them. Personal experience. I'm from Chicago and I will tell you it...

Look for the Correro. (Might have missed spelled that) The letter I mailed to US was 4 pesos and 90 centavos and three pages long. It got there quickly two weeks, faster than mailing it from Chicago.

We moved here with a 20ft container that was delivered to our home. The only issues we had were with our artwork, rocks, and my animal heads. I'm a scientist so I had my collection of things through the years. I was impressed with the wrapping of items. It was better than the States. They...

We had movers come out one day load boxes and label each box with a number for customs along with description. The next day we had an empty shipping container (40ft) at the house. Movers loaded boxes in container, sealed it, and took it to the docks.

A local friend of mine was looking at buying a $250K house in Quilmes. The mortgage terms were only for $70-80K US at 20% interest for 2 years. He decided to wait a couple of more years to pay for the house in full. He was just tired of living with his parents at the age of 35.

A couple of options: Take the Tigre line into Retiro then take a cab (1 hour) or catch the 20 bus 1 hour or 45 minutes. If you close to the Maipu Ave or Sante Fe up there you can take the express semirapido bus 152 bus it will take about 1 hour 30 minutes. If you drive you can take 1 hour or...

We used an transformer and a US/Argentina power strip from Casa de Transformers. I works great. We couldn't do the apple TV bit because we lived outside the country and would have to set up a proxy server in the US.

The change is the America's dollar losing value.

I try not to watch the fearless leader anymore since all we have is hope and promise. You can't really blame him since most of the government is controlled by the banksters.

Sergio- I worked for a private school in Quilmes. I drove from Olivos so I got a travel allowance. I didn't get the nice international contract, since I was hire while I was living in Argentina. The local teachers said I was getting screwed for pay. The other chemistry teacher has taught 24...

I was a teacher on a local contract at a private school, five years plus a masters I took home $4,200 pesos/month. My hubby had a computer company down there and they paid local workers with computer degrees about $6,000 pesos/month.

Biology teacher is correct...just look at the "new" colds and virus that are emerging. Eventually, human populations will be so great that resource will be null. Scientist did a study that high IQ people really aren't reproducing like "they" should. Maybe the world will become like idiocracy..

We have OSDE 410 plan. We pay about 800 pesos and the service is great.

Pericles don't you know we drivers get 10 points if we hit a pedestrian. Seriously, I think if the government started to enforce the driving laws than Argentina would have more pesos reserve and maybe they won't have to seize pensions :)
