Thanks all. We 'have' the DNI as in it exists and is awaiting collection as soon as we get confirmation by phone (sitting on hold) that it's definitely at Paseo Colon we will collect it and hopefully start the rapid 72 hour service without an appointment as you have given my hope syngirl and we...

Wondered if any of you have first hand, recent experience with getting an Argentine passport in a hurry? To cut a long story short my husband and I are due to leave Argentina in 15 days, 28.3.12, with our baby, born here, who will be 13 weeks old but we do not yet have a passport for him...

Thanks all...good to know and thanks for the PMs too. I might try with an Argentine friend and see if we get lucky. If they send us away I'll hire someone. Thanks for recommendations.

I have an appointment to register the birth of my son and have just read some useful threads on this site about the process in more detail. As my husband and I are both English with enough Castellano to get by but in no way fluent I understand I will need to pay to hire a translator. Anyone...

Hi Julie2011 and others, There was a thread started on here last year and a group emerged from there, it's still going and is on FB. I've just been added and can add anyone else who might be interested. I'll drop you a PM Julie2011. I'm not due for another week but it's nice to get in touch...

Anyone?.... :)

Juan Perez Vintage on Marcelo T de Alvear is my favourite and I've picked up dresses for $30pesos before. There is one section that is a lot more expensive but it's a huge range, worth a rummage. You can google it...opening hours and address below EL HORARIO LA CASA CENTRAL, sito en M. T. de...

Hi, I am looking for some help for 3 weeks in February when I will be alone with a baby (around 4-7 weeks old) while my husband is away working. I have lived here two years and have friends, local and expat but many are away in February too, unfortunately, or live too far out to drop in more...

I've replied to your PM lexilein, I'm not pregnant for much longer but still around and happy to meet and have lots of friends around at similar stages so I hope we can get together :)

I live in Colegiales and after 2 years here in BA taking group classes/private lessons, I found a lovely teacher in Belgrano for 45 pesos/hr for a private class. The best so far for quality and value for for money. PM me if you would like her contact details, perhaps she has classes you could...

Wonderful...thanks so much!

I am looking for a small crib, suitable for 0-6 months from December to June 2012, (when our lease runs out and we will move to a bigger place). I've decided a carrycot will be too small and the cots here are enormous and wont fit our little one-bed flat. If any one has seen or purchased one...

Hi animaldr, I'm 29 weeks and have been toying with the idea of starting a new thread/group on here for people closer to my due date but I'm happy to meet anyone really at any stage. I know a few Mums here, local and expat...it's interesting to share experiences. Do PM me if you'd like to.

Welcome Rory, This is sensible advice so far. Most people I have met here have arrived with some savings and a flexible return flight. It's a good way to start. I'm sure with your background you have lots of possibilities. Unless you are about to turn down the opportunity of a life time in...

Thank you AngelinBA, I think Cordoba is next on my hit list. The coaches are great. I've been to Iguazu and Salta but hadn't considered doing a shorter journey overnight, good idea. Sometimes I just fancy a day trip, so thanks xtrasback for the suggestions that are a short bus ride away too.

Also, I would like to go to an estancia nearby (I've been to a few in the North) but find many offer expensive packages with horse riding etc. If anyone knows of one where you can just eat, enjoy the view and relax, for a night or two, at a reasonable price I would love to know.

Well done PhilipDT! Thank you all for the suggestions. My husband works in Rosario at times so next time I will go too and check out the museums. La Plata and Tandil are next on my google search list. I often get suggestions for local towns and cities from my Argentine friends but without a...

I usually use my 90 day visa run to escape the city but I'm keen to explore the coast and countryside around Buenos Aires, in between visa runs. Can anyone recommend anywhere for a quick get away? A day trip or weekend break. Not Tigre as I've been there plenty of times. Cordoba might be a bit...

I am interested in this field too. I have one or two contacts. Send me a private message and I can pass on some details to you.

I have experience of private and public health care here. For the first few months I had backpacker insurance but never needed to spend enough to make a claim worthwhile. Once I was admitted to Accident and Emergency to treat my peanut allergy. It was all free. Unfortunately the hospital was...
