A year ago today we left Argentina to return to the US and I've wanted to write a post since we've left. The only reason I ever came to Argentina was for the love of my life. I met her online, fell for her and came to visit her for a month almost a year after we met. Three months after I came...

I've got someone in Argentina who needs to send me some money. Can they use Western Union to make a money transfer? I know that they probably can't send dollars through WU, but can they use pesos and then would the pesos be converted for me here in the US?

I can't believe that I never thought to ask this before now, but Wednesday night we are flying from Buenos Aires to Washington DC and we are taking our 10 month old daughter with us. It is a 10 and a half hour flight. Does anyone who has already done this have any advice about what we should do...

My wife and I just had the interview on Thursday at the US embassy to get final approval for her spouse visa, and I wanted to pass on what we learned about the interview portion of the process for anyone else who has to do the interview now or in the future. To be clear, the interview was on...

Just came across this: http://news.yahoo.com/argentina-open-museum-dedicated-falklands-003614892.html Bet that they sure could have used some of the revenue from the cruise ships they turned away to pay for this 20 million dollar museum. And seriously, wouldn't this money be better off paying...

We will be leaving and heading back to the US in the next few weeks (depending on the visa interview this Thursday) and I am considering taking a 6 month supply of my medication with me. The medicine is for acid reflex, and what they make here is much more effective than what I was using before...

Anyone out there looking to sell an old cellphone? One of ours it about to bite the dust and we could really use a new (old) one. PM me if anyone has anything. Thanks!

Just thought I'd pass this along for your enjoyment. :)

I've got a friend who is trying to sell a table that she has and I offered to post it here. She is asking for $500 pesos or your best offer. The table will have to be picked up in Palermo. Please PM if anyone is interested.

We're pregnant for the second time in 2 years. After our first baby was born, our insurance ended up being cancelled on us, which we thought would be fine because we weren't expecting to be pregnant again so soon. Here is the thing though, we've been trying since October to get some form of...

beautiful, fully furnished loft in the residential neighborhood of Belgrano. The loft has been tastefully decorated, with hardwood floors throughout. The apartment has a balcony overlooking a small courtyard. The kitchen comes fully equipped with plates and utensils for six people and also has a...

Two years of living here and avoiding the dentist has caught up with me. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good dental office for getting a cleaning and a cavity filled who is not to to expensive? English is not required.

Does anyone know how I can call a cellphone in mar del plata from Capital? I know that the code for Mar del Plata is 0223, but I cannot seem to get any calls through.

What is that best and quickest way to mail documents to the US? We have some forms for my wife's visa that we need to send and I would like to do it in the quickest and if possible, most cost effective way. Has anyone had any experience getting papers sent? It is pretty important that they get...

I've got to get a new passport from the US embassy. The website says that I need a certified copy of my birth certificate to prove my nationality (since my passport was stolen). By certified, they mean that it needs to be a copy that I order from back home, correct? Is there anyway that I can...

Just came across this on Yahoo http://news.yahoo.com/argentine-economic-plan-raise-spending-salaries-164351503.html Any thoughts and opinions out there?

I currently have some dollars that I need to change for pesos. Has anyone seen good exchange rates lately? The only rate I saw the other day was 4.04 which to me seems really low.

I know that this is a longshot, but considering everything I had stolen yesterday (passport, visa, cash, cellphone) I wanted to see if anyone on here has a cellphone that they are no longer using here that they would like to give to me to use until I can afford a replacement or that they would...

Just had someone swipe my pocket of my passport, visa debit card and almost all the cash that I have while walking down Avenida Las Heras today. I didn't even notice it happen. Just reach down and it wasn't there anymore. Serves me right for carrying it in my pocket though. Now I've had to go...

I know that this has been discussed a log before on the forum, however, when I searched, I did not find what I was looking for. We are planning to take our dog with us to the States when we make the move back there. However, my brother claiming to have done a lot of research now tells me that...
