Does anyone know if Heartguard or any other medication for prevention of Heartworms is available here in Argentina? My vet originally said she doesn't need it because she's inside most of the time, but now I'm moving to Entre Rios where I know mosquitos are bad and I want her back on the...

I'm wondering if anyone knows what would happen if, after I get my work visa, I end up quitting after a few months. Not that I plan to but it's possible. Would immigration find out and stop the visa? Would I have to find another contract or could I work freelance (teaching English) and pay taxes...

Anyone else have issues from the encargadas/porteros in their building? Mine is a railing bitch. Everytime there's trash outside my door or on the stairway, she comes knocking on my door and it's NOT MINE. Well, the trash room is next to my apartment, and the neighbors are mostly nasty people...

Has anyone bought a juicer here? I'm looking for recommendations. I'm looking at the Moulinex 600W model for $459 ARG. But I'm wondering if I should just go with a lower priced 200W or 400W model. I anticipate using it daily as I currently use a blender daily to make smoothies, but I want...

Today I walked thru the grocery store in Chinatown, crowded as it was. I headed down an aisle that was actually a bit too narrow with a counter and seats on the left where people were sitting as well as standing. I was about the 4th or 5th person in a line of people trying to get past this...

We just got back from Bariloche. Although the 20 hour bus trip each way was murderous, Bariloche was spectacular. I would highly recommend a visit. The apartment we rented I can't say enough good things about, it was just meters from the lakeshore near Llao Llao, and, as was the case for me...

In the couple of years I've been here, I've been able to find so many things from the US, including maple syrup. But aside from 4 random cans of cheap root beer I found a year ago in Jumbo, I've never been able to find any more. Anyone know any place that sells root beer here? Thanks!
