I know this post is asking for trouble but I can't help myself.... It is basically stereotypical for expats to live in Palermo. I think that is obviously because its the easiest and most obvious option. I personally lived in Palermo for a year and a half when I first moved to Buenos Aires. My...

It seems no one is taking students these days but I'll give it a try! I have a friend with a small institute and I occasionally take classes for her. I am the only native teacher that works for her and she doesn't really have any contacts in the native teacher world. I previously posted about...

I have a friend looking for Native English teachers in Pilar. She has an institute there and occasionally has students that request native teachers. I teach for her on a very very limited basis and it has always been a pleasure. It is very relaxed and the pay is good. However, the available...

Ha ha... Somehow I had a premonition that this post would make me look bad. But I am willing to submit myself to a little public humiliation... if I can get an answer to this question out of it!

I have to say the best way to go with the embassy is always tell the truth. My boyfriend told the embassy he had an american girlfriend and my mother wrote him a letter of invitation. They gave him the visa but they made it clear that they were giving him a tourist visa and that we could not...

Thanks for the quick response but let me clarify a bit.... The marriage took place in Argentina and the divorce is taking place in Argentina. I am curious how soon a person can remarry after divorce. I heard it was 2 years... First, I was wondering if anyone can confirm that and second, and I...

And check this website for all the specific details and requirements... http://www.state.gov/m/a/auth/ also it seems it take 20 days for them to process it once it arrives but it says that the screen process for state department mail takes 2 to 3 weeks. It took them 2 months for them to send...

The FBI has to certify the report (you have to request this... it isn't automatic) and then it must be sent to the State Department. It cost $8 and takes about 20 days. You need to send a cover letter with name, number, address, and email. They send it back to you without the apostille if it...

I have a slightly complicated question about divorce in Argentina... Is it true that you cannot remarry in Argentina for 2 years after you divorce? If so, what if, despite this rule, you marry in the US or some other country? Can you still get the marriage recognized here?

Thanks for the answers... I returned to the US in March so I guess I will have to get my FBI background check again anyway. Sigh. I sometimes think going to Uruguay forever more would just be easier.

Hi everyone... I am just wondering if it is necessary to get the FBI background check apostilled? I have everything else apostilled but I forgot to ask the FBI to certify by background check so the state department (where I sent it to get apostilled) sent it back and told me that I had to send...

We adopted a dog from Mascota en Adopcion at parque de las heras last September. Soqueta is the first not pure breed dog I have ever had and she is also by far the best. She is so smart, so well behaved, and so good natured. She is the typical little black and white street dog that you see...

Well.... Sounds like it can't get worse than Telecentro so I'm happy we made the change to Fibertel... Maybe its the way to do things with provider companies here, start with the worst and work up from there. By the time you get up to terrible, things won't seem so bad.

We had Telecentro and we just canceled all services... They repeatedly charged us for services we didn't have (and it took months to correct), when we asked for new services, they either a) came without advising us before and we just happened to be home or b) never came (we had 4 installation...

I'm looking for someone (or someones) to go to a climbing gym with. I used to climb when I was a kid but I haven't been since... I haven't been to any gyms here but I found a couple online and I thinking of taking a beginners class here at Rustik at Monroe 5462 -in Villa Urquiza. If anyone is...

Growing up in Texas, we said the pledge of allegiance and the national anthem and at least one or two other national pride songs each day. I don't remember any of the words to the songs (and I'm not sure if I ever knew them) and I remember being really bored. In my opinion, its basically a...

This reply might be too late but I brought my 20" imac last year. I bought an ilugger bag (designed to carry an imac) and carried it on. It fit into the overhead bin with no problem. I didn't get asked anything about it except... is it new? I said no and they didn't bother to check. And I...

I overstayed my year long student visa by about 3 months... by accident. I left and returned before my student visa expired and I didn´t realize I wasn´t given a tourist visa upon reentry. I just reentered on my not quite expired student visa. I´m going to Uruguay tomorrow. And hoping to return...

Hi... I am looking for dog friendly parks (not dog parks) esp. in Almagro-Caballito. The ones I know... Dog friendly 1. Parque de las heras (las heras y coronel diaz) Not 1. Rivadavia 2. Centenario Thanks in advance.

I teach english without a TEFL and no one seems to care. Also, all my friends that have TEFL certificates have never been asked for proof that they actually took a course. I am not suggesting you lie but a TEFL is not that important. That being said... If you can study by yourself, an online...
