Hey Expats, I was vacationing in Mendoza for a few days and just got the call and i'm now immediately recalled back to the US. My flight leaves in 2 days on Jan 3rd so i have to get rid of my desktop and printer. FOR SALE: DESKTOP: It's pretty much a barebones configuration, I bought it...

Sounds good, i'll be there.

Hi, I'm thinking about taking a few courses at UBA or any university in BA. Does anyone know what is required to register and or what else I may need? Can anyone tell me the approximate costs also? I'm an American living here in Argentina full-time but on a tourist visa leaving every 3...

Though this website does have many US airlines, I find it does often does give a smattering of routes with stopovers not in the US. It's a travel website miner. www.kayak.com

What time is the lunch?

Thanks guys. I appreciate it.

Hey Guys, I'm thinking of buying a desktop here as my old computer is falling apart and i'll need to get some software for it. I really don't want to buy an original windows, office etc.. because it will set me back a couple hundred bucks. Does any one know where to buy copied software? I...

katti is correct. i've been to many countries where they used to make you pay a seperate exit tax, but now they include the tax directly onto the price of the ticket when you buy it.

I too know nothing about boxing, but there's a boxing rink here in Almalgro. I don't know if they have a club, but on the weekends, I see that they have matches there and there's a store beside it selling all sorts of boxing gear (bags, uniforms, gloves, etc..) so I assume that they also do...

I too have Fibertel 3 megas and I work with clients in China and the US on a daily basis using Skype. BUT i would not recommend them. Their speed and volume is never as advertised and I have had very spotty internet. Their customer service is very poor in my opinion. My service dropped to...

That sounds great, i'd be up for anything with poker. Let me know if this is going to happen Sam

As she's now married to you, can she get a french/EU passport? Of course, i'm sure that will be just as if not slower but will help you in the future for other countries you may be transfered to. Having lived myself in China for over 10 years, i know what a pain it is to get a Chinese...

Hi, I have a subscription with Skype that allows me to call all landlines free in Arg for free so I never setup a landline here. However, i'm trying to call Fibretel and i can only find their toll free number. But i've been unable to find any combination to call that will allow me to connect...

I personally use Skype. Curerntly for US$12.95, they allow you to make unlimited calls to landlines to many countries and also provide for free with the subscription a total of 3 local numbers in some of those countries which will connect to your skype account. It's not toll-free in those...

There's another starbucks that just opened about a month ago on Florida around the 100's. It's right by the Catedral (Line D) Subway stop.

Sorry, I can't count properly. I was only there 2.5 hours, from 7:30 AM - 10:00 AM but it felt like an eternity.

Not sure about this, when i went yesterday and today they were issuing numbers for the Prórrogas de Permanencia at the little desk at the front door. That is where i got my number today.

Today, i went and didn't have any problems getting an extension for my tourist visa. Aside from the 3.5 hour wait from because of the lazyiness, there's weren't any issues. I can confirm that the fee is now 300 pesos, but i didn't hear of any issues like what Kate was mentioning. All you need...

Yes, i was there at 8:30 AM. I'm not sure if there's a set number of people or what the deal is, just the front counter said that there were no more tickets available and that i should come back tomorrow and to make sure i was there at 7:30AM to make sure i got in.
