Hello. I plan on calling the embassy next week to ask them this question but I am anxious to have some answers. So... I was wondering if anybody knew anything about this. If a U.S. citizen voluntarily seeks Argentine citizenship will they risk losing their U.S. citizenship?

I just watched a documentary on the bloods and crips. It made me wonder if there were gangs here or if that's just us. Anybody know? You would think with all the Italian immigrants there would at least be a mafia here :) (just kidding, anyone of italian decent, please don't get mad, my...

Hello, I have some books in English and a few in Spanish that I don't read anymore. I am always looking for new books (preferably in Spanish). If anyone is interested in trading some books with me PM me and I'll send you a list of what I got. Thanks!

I have a question. I am in the middle of trying to put together an unfurnished apartment and I have a baby so even if my boyfriend has a pretty good salary I'd like to be able to pitch in a little extra money. I teach a few English classes but I am getting tired of it. I was thinking of trying...

I have a question. 6 months ago we moved into our first real apartment here with the rent in pesos and everything. But one thing that bothers me is that the cable is apart of the building expenses and when we asked about it they said that we have to pay for cable even though we don't have a TV...

Okay. I teach English and I normally teach the students to say Argentines. But sometimes one of them will argue that it's Argentinians. Does anybody know which one is correct or are they both okay?

My main reason for coming to live here was not to go back to studying, but I thought it would be a good idea since I am here. The degree I have isn't really useful, especially not here. Also, trying to build a life here isn't so easy without the right education. I started the whole process for...

The other day I seen a dog who was owned by a homeless man. He had sewed maybe 15 buttons or so into the ear of his dog and the dog seemed to be very uncomfortable and in pain. I can't stop thinking about this poor dog! So the question is, is there any way to report animal abuse here? Any...

http://www.csmonitor.com/2005/0224/p12s02-lihc.html According to this article Argentina has the world's second highest rate of anorexia in the world followed by Japan. Now I think it's obvious, even if you haven't spent much time here or talked to too many woman here. You see it on the...

I have a baby that is 7 weeks old and already outgrowing some of his clothes.... I currently don't know anybody with a baby boy that is younger than mine (I know of a few girls but I don't know how they would feel about wearing blue!). I will not throw out clothes that can still be worn, it...

After reading this forum for a while I wonder if everyone here is familiar with the effects of culture shock. Just in case I'll attach this little article. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_shock So, what I want to say, is that I don't believe Argentina is really that bad, although a lot of...

i need a little advice here. is it just me or are good running shoes kind of expensive here? is there any store that has shoes at a good price/quality ratio? i see sneakers here for like 400 pesos and i am hesitant to buy them because they are so much money i would hate for them to wear out in...

I used to teach private English lessons here. I want to get back into it but the last time I did it I had a lot of problems with advertisement. It seemed to me that word of mouth was the best way to get my name out there. Besides this, what are some good ways to advertise here? Are there places...

http://www.transparency.org/policy_research/surveys_indices/cpi/2009/cpi_2009_table This is supposed to be a list of the world's nations ordered from least to most corrupt. I don't know if I agree with their results though. It places Cuba at 61 and Argentina at 106. Is Argentina really more...

I have been here a little over a year but there's something that I can't figure out about the Argentines. I feel sometimes like they are a bit too sensitive about their country. I feel sometimes like if I say something good about their country they think I am blind or ignorant to their problems...

I have been wanting for a very long time now to take some Spanish lessons. I have a few grammar books that I study with and I try to practice everyday but I feel like I could really benefit from regular classes. The problem is I can't find any that I can afford. The last place I checked out I...

Hello everyone. I have been living here for almost a year now and I am expecting a baby boy this May. I am starting to get nervous as the due date gets closer because I am realizing that I don't have other Mom friends here. I am 21 years old and my friends are all University students who like to...
