    A Good Product For Hair Loss?

    There was a long thread about this a long time ago. Lots of us reported hair loss since being in BA: http://baexpats.org/...__+losing +hair i don't know if it has gotten better for any of them, it certainly hasn't for me. I'm not one to do fad diets or anything, but my family has a history of...

    Your Best/worst Customer Service Anecdote

    Guys, at the supermarket today (not in Argentina), they announced over the PA system that any customer wishing to check out soon should get in line as they needed to reboot their system and this reboot would be taking an entire minute and a half. as i was leaving, i heard some customers...

    Your Best/worst Customer Service Anecdote

    hahah, oh club de la milanesa. Worst experience ever. The service was awful and the food equally bad. The waiter brought some bread with some sort of spread in a separate dish. I asked him what the spread was. "oh it's, you know, it's like, mayonnaise with, you know---" he stopped short because...

    Where Is My Dni?

    Have you asked at Hipolito Yrigoyen 952? It's usually faster to inquire there than at migraciones in Retiro. When I was waiting for mine, I went there to ask and they told me it was with OCA and to contact OCA to arrange a delivery date. I had it within a few days after that.

    High Cost Of Shipping Cat/dog To The Uk

    Leaving Argentina with a pet is quite easy and straightforward. You definitely don't need a pet agency. I left Arg with a cat at the end of October and just paid an extra fee ($175 USD) to have him in the hold. And entering the US, they didn't even look at him.

    Pet Carrier (Iata Approved)

    I bought this one to fly my regular sized cat (4.5 kilos) to the US and it was fine. I flew American Airlines so I had to use screws to secure the two parts, but that was really easy and I think a good idea. It was actually quite big, much bigger than one you'd use to transport your cat to and...

    Argentinian Debit Cards Abroad

    That's odd. What bank do you have with your work where they deposit your salary? You should definitely be able to get a CC with that bank. I was on a temp work visa with my job and they had a partnership with Banco Frances, offering employees CCs with no annual fee.

    Thanksgiving Dinner Recommendations

    She had the right idea! The last time I made Thanksgiving dinner in BA, I used a cranberry substitute recommended on this site. You basically just cook blueberries with orange juice in a saucepan until it reaches desired consistency. The BF's Argie family loved it! It still went really well with...

    Past 90 Days, What Happens If Stopped in the Street, In An Accident, etc?

    At most, they can tell you to get your papers in order, but that's it. The police are not immigration officers. If they say otherwise, they're looking for a bribe. Plus, there is no such thing as being illegal in Argentina, only "irregular." If your visa has expired, you have an "irregular...

    travel to US with pet updates?

    In case anyone was wondering about the five day thing, I was searching for an answer on the Senasa website and confirmed that both the health certificate from your pet's vet and the Senasa international certificate have to be obtained within five days of flight. The site gives this example: Por...

    travel to US with pet updates?

    I was given the blue Certificado Naional de Salud from my regular vet as well as my libreta with all my cat's vaccination records, including rabies shots. I've just returned from getting him microchipped at another vet's office and the vet there told me that unless the blue heath certificate...

    Does Argentina has such thing as eBay to sell electronics items

    Unless you've already got an excellent seller reputation on mercadolibre, very few buyers will be willing to pay first and then have items shipped. And given all the restrictions on imports in Argentina, especially on electronics, I doubt you'll get much interest at all for fear of having items...
