    Certificado Medico for the Gym

    I am having the same problem, I think all gyms now require a physical. I just paid 150 pesos for a consultation, and now I have to get exams, the exams add up to 800 pesos! The most expensive is the electrocardiogram, the doctor said she needs to see them before she signs my physical! 50 pesos...

    Most Affordable Cell Phone Option

    yes, if you know somebody with a DNI who can sign a contract for you, you'll save a lot of money (if you intend to use your phone)... if you just want to have a phone for an occasional incoming or outgoing call a prepaid might wind up being cheaper. If all you want is to receive phone calls, you...

    No more imported food...

    Peron picked the wrong side of the war, but he also picked the wrong side of economics, others did even worst, like China, Cuba, the Soviet Union and a bunch of others who didn't pick but were forced into an experiment called communism, fortunately, all of the above except for Cuba realized that...

    Bank Account Set-up

    The HSBC in Florida and Peatonal used to open accounts for foreigners with a CDI and passport. I opened one a long time ago and know many people that did... not sure if they still allow it.

    My experiences with Telecom & Arnet in Buenos Aires

    I've had very similar problems... The worst and most surprising to me was DirecTV. You'd think the are an american company and would have a better standard. I have found them to be the worst of all. They billed my credit card 5 times for directvPlus and never installed the service. And then they...

    Penalty for Staying in Argentina Illegaly???

    I don't know the legal answer to that question. I can tell you though that I have been to a public hospital once and got a doctor to see me without anybody asking me for residency and I am pretty sure I gave them my passport number and identified myself as foreigner although I don't look like...

    Whats the current rate per m2 for Colocación de Porcellantos

    Ouch! I think 50 pesos/square meter is a far rate if you cut out all middlemen. I recently paid 700 pesos for 15 sq meters (and a lot of corner cuts) and disassembling a huge closet. I had to buy all the material but they brought it up the elevators. It took them 2 days and they did a very good...

    Latest Rates - Prepaid Cellular $/min or $/text

    Not only you get a 50% credit when you charge over a certain amount, but you also get your rates cheaper, so it make sense to charge 30 pesos or more and this is true for all companies. Only problem is Claro at least started expiring credits in 30 days and that sucked, because I would have 100...

    best options for employment? 2012 move

    This is so true, not to mention all the money that garbage men collect from businesses. Only good training I know for this type of job in the US might be joining the New York mafia.

    where to get cell phone with card

    I just bought a cheap but good Nokia unlocked in Once. They go for about 220 pesos at a nice store, 160 at a not so nice store (inside a Galeria) and 130 inside the galeria but informal vendor (wouldn't recommend this as it is likely stolen). You can save about 20 pesos if you don't care to have...

    Importing electronic goods?

    Post office might avoid taxes, but it is riskier than Fedex or UPS. I know people that use Global Priority and that seems to almost always get here. Also, beware that if you send a transformer you will be having to pay something like $1000 USD for electrical inspections on top of taxes. In...

    New restaurant, need opinions

    I think most foreigners agree that service in Argentina is a disaster while service in the US is top notch. As somebody who owns two restaurants here, I am finding that it is very hard to train Argentinians to give American style service. so what I am doing and I find a lot of places that offer...
