You guys happen to know what criminal infractions automatically disqualify you? I would assume multiple felonies would be a denial, but what about a misdimenor. Anu one have any insight on such details? PS thanks for getting back to the thread topic! :)

I call shinanigans!

I think it's a bit short sited to think in a way that argentines don't offer the benefit-of-the-doubt. I've always had great luck in making good argentine friends and never felt like there was a barrier of prejudice that I had to overcome with them. Orw's point is that there are people that...

Lol I think the poor original poster made more of a curious observation to see if they were the only one seeing "this" and now they're getting an earful about how much they suck for ever considering such a dastardly personal observation. Sure some of the terms used could have been sugar coated...

i just gotta say, i always love filoche's quotes and insights :) rock on fifilafiloche!

Thanks for the post! I'm excited to see it when it gets done with its festival tour. :)

Being from the eeuu I don't think I've ever really felt like I was being hated and managed to make a lot of great friends that I talk to on msn when I'm here in the states. In any area where you have a population you are going to have people that simply like to hate, dwell... the misery loves...

I came across this rentista term a couple times on the boards... what is the rentista visa all about?

Thanks for the great reply Ricardo! The more I've thought about it the more I was leaning towards settling for the laptop... But one idea I hadn't considered was having two laptops incase something were to happen I could recover and not miss a beat in my professional life. I guess it's about...

Hi Notebook.fix, I'm about a year away from my move down to Bs As and I do a lot of work online producing newsletters, blogging, and maintaining websites. My major concern is that I need to have a computer available to me and I'm having a big debate with myself whether to get a Laptop (for...

Do you have pictures?

Don't fret it Gabby, eLance.com is a solid place for work. I specialize in newsletters and have a couple clients from there and am currently working on a growing list of long term clients (given the nature of newsletters) to help me save in addition to my day job, as well as have a continuing...

You can always make a habit of getting involved in Cinco Futbol matches too! Nothing like like playing futbol with Argentines on a small field... too much fun! Also I second the comment about Argentine's History, it is super intersting and makes walks/parks/street signs/Recoleta Cemetary much...

how do you guys see the iphones use a year from now in argentina? i'm thinking about buying one here bc i spend 2 hours a day on a bus and do freelancing so having something like an iphone would help me do business on the go here and i'm planning on carrying my freelancing to argentina. any...

I would be a daily customer that's for sure!

I highly recommend Facundo by Domingo Sarmiento, a really really good read, and more or less half fiction half non fiction like 'based on true events.' I believe he wrote it whne he was in exile in Chile during the Rosas years because it was totally anti-Rosas lol. Real piece of history in...

wow! small world... i love this thread too :)

I really liked the idea about finding a cheap hobby, depending on what you get into this can be a great money saver. :)

I do freelance work through our local association and have a handful of consistant clients. Right now I'm dedicating my time to saving money and building my list of clients so I have a good cushion of time to get a hold of sustainability abroad. I do a lot of work in adobe creative suite...
