I am now being offered a number of interviews (I am in Ireland) for Sr IT positions in Argentina, and without exception, they ask what you would be looking for in terms of salary. I know the rates have gone down a lot in last couple of years, but at the same time I am going to need to earn...

There is a scene in the film "Nuevas Reinas" (Nine Queens) where the two conmen are enjoying a coffee in a cafe, and the older one advises the younger to look around outside, as he does, the older one points out all the scams going on out there - good eductaion ! I have been to a number of...

But I only need to wear a bra three days a week :-)

Retiro !!!!!!!!!!

Hi Katti I guess I am just an old romantic at heart - this one really tugs the heartstrings and I love this version. I actually sang this the last time I was in Bs As to the amazement of the assembled Argentine audience (family and friends). Not as good as el maestro, but not bad for a Brit was...

Favourite places to eat are the restaurants overlooking the plaza in San Telmo. Boedo also has some good bars. Palermo also very popular.

That would be enough to get you arrested in some countries :-)

When I first visited Bs As in 2000 there was nowhere near the level of degradation (destroyed pavements/roads, dog crap EVERYWHERE and high rise buildings taking the light of the traditional Spanish architecture houses originally sited next door etc) that there was when I was there early this...

Did it include "Where to position the helicoptor in case the picateros decide to burn down the building you are currently in ?" (just curious)

Me too - life's a bitch ain't it jajajaja

Just in time to top up the tan then :-)

50 Argentineans more than enough to chat to in one night :-) Did you have a game of pool there ? There are a couple of out-of-towners who are DEADLY serious there - they really got a bit arsey when I went in and monopolised the table for the night - the locals loved it though :-)

Firstly, thank you to all those who have replied. It may help if I shed a little more light on the underlying reasons for this post. I am aware of the need for work VISA, I will be arriving on Indefinite VISA and obtaining DNI/CUIL while I am there. I will be looking for job once I have these...

Just in time for my arrival - sweeet

There are some things to be aware of with the "consultadoras". Although they do not charge you directly, the company they are representing will expect to get their investment back from the consultadora - i.e. indirectly, your salary they offer will reflect this. The advice I was given was to...

Can someone advise please (apologies if posted in wrong place). Moving to Bs As soon and hopefully will get reasonable IT job there so should be able to get an Argentine account. Problem is, how do you send money back to UK to pay bills etc, and how can you get money from UK into Argentine...

How about Sui Generis from the old days, Charly Garcia and the incomparable Gustavo Cerati (from Soda Stereo - now reformed). Saw cerati in London on a one-off in Camden Town - rocked the place for over 2 hours !!! I know they play some good music in some of the downstreet bars in San Telmo...

Mentioned here was Bar Gibraltar in SanTelmo. I have been there several times and at different days of week, and invaribly, the place is packed. They have some pretty decent real-ale (the only place I know sells this in Bs As), great music, superb pool table at the back. This would not be a bad...

WOW - I did not expect such quick, informative and concise replies - thank you to everyone !! OK this is the situation as I understand it. BTW I couldn't remember the term for verified - yes I have the following apostillized :- Copy of passport Copy of Police character report These were done...

The Argentine Embassy were unable to help me with this so hoping someone in here will be able to give some guidance. I am married to an Argentine who is living there now. Hi to everyone, I have just found this place and thought might be able to share some of my knowledge of Argentina with...
