What a troll. Lucas is pathetically lurking on this forum looking for fights. It's an obvious troll due to the subject (hello... this is an English- speaking ex pat site and you're bitching about Americans to Americans for referring to ourselves as Americans... and btw I bet your way too pansy...

Not sure if this is helpful but I've heard more than once that Uruguay is great... as long as you go there with a job. Which I think why so many young professional are leaving. The lack of jobs. But here's another trend... Argentine business jumping ship to Uruguay for tax purposes (Argentine...

I find the whole "american" debate so boring and so done. In the English- speaking world, people from the US are always going to be referred as Americans. Deal with it. As for the Spanish- speaking world, they can call us whatever they like as far as I'm concerned. But a lot of people here...

I don't know if this adds to the discussion really... But I've always found American women + Argentine men a really good match. I'm 24 and have been here about 2.5 years and nearly all my friends who are still here are in long-term relationships with Argentines... including my younger friends...

It seems a lot of the younger ex pats aren't responding... 24, F, American, been here since July 2008. And in reference to tez's suggestion... Not earning... unless you count living off your fiance... : )

And now I think about it... some 60 year old american man contacted me too and told me he was looking for a sexy latina.

I don't know about this but when I changed my skype location to Argentina, I got about a billion messages from Middle eastern and Asian men... I didn't even know strangers could contact you via Skype. Obviously I changed my privacy settings. But it seems Argentine women may have some sort of...

I'm not the original poster but I'd be interested to know^^ I'm thinking of having a pinata or two at our wedding this summer...

Okay. I'll have to think about all this but I'll make sure to get duplicates of all documents just in case. I'm leaning towards getting Argentine permanent residency first and then dealing with Uruguay. Thanks for all the input!

Thanks for all the input... we shipped everything together to my parents via DHL. (although I would have preferred that everything had pretty Argentine stamps, it just wasn't worth the cost!)

My Argentine fiance is getting transfered to Montevideo and we will be moving shortly after the wedding... in which country do I seek residency? I going to guess no one really has experience with this but maybe someone has some sort of answer... Thanks in advance!

I'm looking for a shipping service to send wedding invites to my family in the US. I've basically never sent anything from here but I've heard Correo Argentino has the tendency to lose items... We went to DHL and its $50 USD per card, which is ridiculous. It would actually be cheaper for us...

First and foremost, a woman who wants an abortion... will find one... illegal or not. It's going to happen anyway. The number of women who end up dead or in the hospital from botched abortions is huge in Argentina (the only statistic I could find was that between 1995 and 2003, 55,000 women...

The class started an hour later than the listed class hour. No joke. Every single class day. Its status quo As for the documents being incorrect, they are not. They are as they should be. Originals. Legalized. Nothing is falsified. My school didn't put a sticker on the diploma. They...

I got hit by a bus in early 2009... I luckily only broke my leg... I've got 13 scars (from pins and operations), a slightly misshapen right leg, and a little limp that serve as a friendly reminder. I've also seen a women get hit by a car and dragged under the car for probably 20 feet before the...

Stick with Fibertel... its not going anywhere. Worst case scenario, they will sell it to a buddy company. We just had Fibertel installed at our new apartment. The techs were not the slightest bit worried about losing their jobs. And Speedy is famously horrible. We had the same thing happen...

And one more thing, during my semester at UBA...we didn't have class for a month because the students took the building after a piece of ceiling fell down and seriously injured a girl in the womens bathroom.

A fun little anecdote.... I decided to try to enroll in the UBA last year. It was impossible to really figure out where to start. I managed to get all the documents for this year. I went to the Min. de Educacion. My high school diploma was rejected because it didn't have a sticker seal on...

I'm looking for a tailor for my wedding dress that I got in the US... it should be a fairly simple alteration but I don't want to go to just anyone to have it done. Any recs?

We are staying with Fibertel to the end... that last thing we want to do is help the K's in their vendetta against the press. I don't think they will manage to shut down Fibertel but I think they can (and are) successfully damaging the business and causing it to lose significant market share...
