It surprised me when a friend visited from Hong Kong recently and she was just shocked (shocked, I tell you!) at how expensive she thought everything was. I'd say, in terms of a grocery store, the comparison is particularly more expensive here when we're talking about quality - the same item...

Hi, My company is looking for shared office space, as we're growing in number. We're currently in a shared environment in Palermo, but the space is getting too tight for the team. We're currently about 10 and are going to be about 16 in the near future - so we're looking to move out in the next...

Wait, really? What happens if one leaves and maintains one's residency here? Not that I plan on leaving anytime soon - but I can imagine that if and/or when I leave, I'd be too lazy to have to deal with more tramites...

I've gotten several messages asking if this is still available - so I'll post it here: Yes, still available :) . In business development, we're currently a team of 3 (all expats) and there are 5 Argentines working in other capacities. We are looking to build the biz dev. team to about 10 - so...

Hi, sorry - I should have clarified. The entire position is basically in English. It'll help you in social interactions with the team (some of which are Argentine, but fluent in English - they work in other roles that don't require native English), but is not necessary.

Hello, I started working with a new company recently, it began as a tech startup (now in it's 4th year), is based in Silicon Valley, and has a next generation Search Engine Marketing management platform as it's product. The position is as an independent contractor, and you will be paid in USD...

Hey, So I'm in a transition phase - changing jobs, right as my temporary rental lease runs out. I work a crazy amount of hours, so I've barely had time to look at another option, and the job change makes it a bit more hectic. Does anyone have any suggestion for guest houses in Palermo where I...

Hello, I'm thinking about getting Lasik done soon. I have Osde 310 - can anybody recommend any doctors that are supported under my plan? I've been terrified of Lasik since I saw a video simulation in college, but then again, I'm almost out of my stockpile of dailies I don't want to know what...

Hey Andrew, I graduated from NCSU before coming down here about a year ago. Frankly, you sound like me a couple years back, so if that's correct I think what I'm about to tell you is exactly what you most likely don't want to hear (because it was exactly what I didn't want to hear): Go back to...

My family lives in Finland and there they have pannukakku, usually served with cream and compote or fresh fruit. Very delicious. I think they are very similar to the Swedish pancakes. Some people put lemon zest in it. My mom makes them and they're really very easy and quick.

So from what I understand is that people in the company don't pay argentine taxes as they claim their income abroad by billing the company. Is this common?

VE and US, but correct :) Would love to hear about this tax return guy! I'll PM you, Piti.

I have a 2 year permanent residency. I don't think this would change if I changed jobs. No, I'm not trying to evade taxes, I'm trying to see how much I would pay. Thanks, Dave and everyone else for the help!

Hello, So, in a nutshell, I've been offered a job that I think is a really great opportunity for growth and something I am interested in. I'm currently earning in pesos with a company that relocated me to Argentina, that is registered in Argentina (so, everything in blanco). I would go from...

Mariel - the ad agencies here are always hiring. I interviewed yesterday and has to turn them down due to the salary - so yes, salaries are very low. But it hurt so much to turn it down,there are some amazing opportunities here. And the ad work done here is truly top notch. Check linked in for...

Ive been wanting to take fencing and DJ/music mixing classes. Any suggestions? Really random, I know...

They asked for my ID# just for calling to inquire about opening hours. Before telling me that they could not confirm the store hours for a particular store. :rolleyes:

Out of curiosity, noticed on the Uruguayan Expats forum on Facebook that a lot are really stressed over the violent murder of a blueberry farmer in Maldonado who was a member of the expat community/frequent poster - was that a sort of "straw that broke the camel's back"? It seems to be for...

Yeap, I told him I had "already found a new apartment thanks" when he started offering me options (I don't). He was essentially trying to take advantage of me for being foreign. I would maybe have renewed my lease, had he not done that. Proving my theory that unethical business practices are...

Interesting. My current broker has listings on AirBnB and I asked him about one. He told me not to pay attention to the posted price in pesos (I pay in pesos). He told me the price is actually much more than what is posted on AirBnB. Is he trying to cheat me? I know AirBnB requires commission...
