Hi everyone, My sister is coming to visit, and we'll be doing some traveling (and spending, of course!) while she's here. Since I haven't had dollars in my hands for over a year, nor have I had to withdraw funds from my bank accounts in the States, I just assumed that we could withdraw money...

Oh, I had no idea! Good to know.

Aah, okay. Thanks. Thing is, I don't have time tomorrow, so I have to go this afternoon or Monday, and I don't have a headcount yet so Monday would be much better. So, hopefully they're open!

Hey again everyone, I'm having a dinner on Monday night and will need ingredients from Barrio Chino. As Monday is a feriado, does anyone know if everything will be open then? The fresher the better, so I'd like to wait to Monday if possible...

Oh good, thanks! Do you know what time the match starts, can't seem to find that info anywhere...

Someone said the tickets might be available at Abasto now, any word on that? Also, for this first match, could I just get tickets at the gate (I'll want the cheapest available), or should I buy ahead of time?

Anyone know what time the match on the 20th is? I can buy tickets at the gate anytime next week sin problema, no?

Thanks everyone. I'm leaving late December, and coming back Jan 31, so hopefully I won't have any entry fees. And I think you're right, Howard, that fee was built into the ticket price. Good to know no entry fees at Aeroparque though!

Hey all, I'll be flying to Uruguay for a month this summer, and was wondering if Americans have to pay the entry (and a rumored exit) fee at Aeroparque or if that's only from Ezeiza. It is an international flight, obviously, but not from the international airport. I am overstayed, so I'll have...

Here's what you were looking for, I think: http://baexpats.org/expat-life/6456-infamous-cuil-5.html. Yes, I was able to get my CUIT, but that was nearly a year ago, and from what I understand, even the loophole that I unknowingly used is no longer available, sooo... ???

yeah, i knew there was something like that. Also, just found out there will be 5 of us (passengers). Anyone know if cabs that big exist here? I've never seen them...

Perfect. So I just take it like a normal cab? Thanks!

Early tomorrow morning I need to catch a cab up to Olivos, and I was wondering about getting taxis out of Capital proper (I know there are certain rules/things to consider). I'd like to call one ahead of time, can I just call any radio taxi? Does anyone have a number? I live in Almagro, if that...

Me too! I've been here for about a year, but as people are constantly coming and going, I'm always game to meet new people. Should we do a Sunday something? Any ideas?

Last time I went to Colonia, it was on the 90th day, and they did count using a paper calendar. I wasn't charged, though. You could be fine..

Doña Clara, for sure. I'm a pastry chef in the States, and that's the best all around supply store I've found here. At many of the grocery stores, you can find measuring cups with "cups" and also grams of different ingredients marked on them, the only thing is the markings wear off pretty...

lilabaila: would you mind letting us know what you find? especially about prices.. I need a visit to the dentist too and would love it if you could share your info! Plus it would be helpful for people checking out this thread in the future. And thanks for the recommendations, y'all :)

Hello all, I'm finally starting to plan my return to the US, and so I will need to buy a plane ticket sometime here in the near future. I'll be flying to California, and will be leaving (*sniff sniff*) in January or February, after doing some traveling around Argentina. I was wondering how far...

Yes, I tried through HSBC (the one across from Abasto), and was rejected. But not immediately. I'm the one with a CUIT but a tourist visa (don't know how I pulled that off!), and they told me all I needed was the CUIT. I dunno if they assumed that meant I had residency, which would be a...

I'm wondering if anyone knows about absentee voting for the November election. I've been to the website about it (I'm a California resident): http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/elections_m.htm#apply, but it's still all a little hard to sift through, since it doesn't seem like your standard absentee...
