I've recommended Max Gotz to several people, on this forum and off. All have thanked me. He speaks perfect English and runs his operation like a tightly wound clock. https://www.mgotz.com/

This lady ruined a $300 pair of pants. The first couple of jobs she did for me were great. Then I gave her the pants and it turned disastrous. I told her exactly how I wanted the pants - NO TAPER. She promised to have them done by a certain date. When I went back, she had forgotten. I came back...

My residencia rentista expires Sept 8. Ten weeks ago, I was in the USA. I gathered my documents, got all signatures and sent them to the California Sec of State for apostille. About 6 weeks later, UPS notified me that my documents were in the UPS system and headed to Buenos Aires. A week...

Many foreigners, myself included, will never fly Aerolineas. The airline is ok for domestic. It works if nothing goes wrong on an international flight. But the second anything gets out of whack with your flight or you need to change or cancel, or Aerolineas changes the flight time and it doesn't...

Take the train to "Centro de Transbordo de Liniers." Three blocks from that station are a few interconnected blocks of bulk grain, spice, legume and all other sort of products for kitchen/home. Cheapest prices I have found for such goods. While there, have lunch at "El Ferroviario." You won't...

I have been getting awesome Chinese massage - traditionally called "TuiNa." The guy Juan works out of his apartment in Palermo Soho. He charges $3.500 pesos for an hour - but it's not a 50 minute massage. Every time I have gone, it's 60 or 65 minutes. He has been studying Chinese healing arts...

$500 pesos per hour is on the high side of local standards. A two bedroom apartment isn't large. Your best bet may be to ask the encargado in the building for a recommendation - a mucama that is already working for one of your neighbors. It will be harder to attract a mucama who will make a...

I have a guy that's awesome. He's repaired two laptops of mine - great work and cheap price. He arranges with a courier to pick up the laptop, diagnoses it, gives a bid then completes the work in a day or two. Courier brings it back. His name is Tyby. Cell is: 11.5096.5352

I have a taxi driver I've used for years. Nice guy, always shows up 10 minutes early. Chats if you want, but keeps quiet if you don't. He's charging $2.500 between Recoleta and Ezeiza now (he pays peaje). If you want his number, PM me.

If you're looking for an agent, I recommend Max Gotz. He has almost 3 decades of experience, a long client list of foreigners and Argentines, speaks perfect English and shoots very straight. He will also answer any questions you may have for free, with no obligation.

Certain California politicians are more socialist than Cristina.

I just entered seamlessly with a J&J vaccine.

The lines outside the airport are for designated flights. They don't want a lot of people in the airport at the same time. So I don't think they will let you into the airport if you arrive too early.

As you are now 10 days or less from expiration, you can email Migraciones and request an extension.

Email migraciones under the "Canal Unica" link. They will renew your precaria.

I just got my PCR results back for upcoming flight. The result is negative. But my PCR report just has a few lines. It has the name of the lab, the type of test and negative result, then a signature plus date and time. A friend has a "viaje" pcr report. It has the negative result, plus her...

It's been a while since I have flown. So forgive me. When you grab a taxi from CABA to Ezeiza, and the chofer turns on the meter, who pays the tolls?

I have to fly out in a few days. Can someone update us on the checkin protocol at Ezeiza? Is it worth it to arrive 4 hours early to be safe and get everything done? Or will you be stuck outside waiting in a line that's specific to each flight?

Most travel veterans recommend against preemptively rescheduling. Usually, you will be charged a difference in price, which today is likely to be substantial. If you wait for the airline to cancel the flight, they usually rebook you with no extra charge on the next available that you agree to.
