My wife will be in Buenos Aires for 2 months and staying in a place that has no wifi. What is the best solution that will allow her to watch netflix/youtube and do a bit of browsing on her laptop? Buy a local sim, put in her phone and use as a hotspot for the laptop to connect to? just worried...

Just wondered if anybody has any experience of living in a barrio cerrado? What is it like? Do people seem more/less friendly? How is the security? Any small shops? I may be coming back to Argentina soon and having lived in Zona Oeste near Ramos Mejia before am looking for something a little...

Say there are 2 apartments in the same building, same floor and in more or less the same condition. Vendor 1 wants 250k for theirs yet vendor 2 wants 300k for theirs. What information is there in the public domain to help a buyer decide which is the closer to a fair value? I see so many prices...

Didn't see that one coming. I thought she hated Alberto Fernandez and vice versa. Maybe a compromise move to bring together the vota peronista! Only way Macri or Cambiemos win is if that vote stays split. God help us...

Dare we get excited?

In the UK all gambling winnings are non taxable. Anyone any idea how winnings made on UK sites would be treated here in Argentina in terms of tax? I am a UK citizen with perm Arg residency.

Hi, I need help to home an 11 month old male golden retriever. To cut a long story short he was handed back to us by a young family who weren't able to put up with his typical pain in the butt puppy behaviour. Seems they were not giving him any exercise at all which is obviously not good for...

I have residency here and will be travelling to Santiago in a few weeks. From what I have been reading Chile is super cheap in comparison with Bs As and so wanted to take the opportunity to get a new phone and maybe laptop. From what I have read on a few Argie forums/blogs customs at EZE seem...

Ive done it from here for the last 4 or 5 years but it has really gone quite mainstream back in the UK. Just wondered if its filtered through to expats. The game has got more complicated but still a relatively easy few Ks for newbies. If anyone is interested, for a one off small fee I can he get...

If inflation really does turn out to be 30% this year, would it be expected that the peso dollar rate would also rise by 30% i.e. finishes around 18 or 19 pesos to the dollar? Logically to me this would make sense but I always sense with economics that I have it all wrong.

Just wondering if things are still as they were or whether anyone has received anything to their door?

I have a small sum that I would like to invest in the local market. I have zero experience in this kind of thing and wondered if anyone is able to recommend an honest broker for a first timer like myself. Also, if anyone has any links to any useful sites or advice in general then that would also...

Just before I came back to Argentina 18 months ago, I bought a nexus 4 sim-free/unlocked phone from carphone warehouse. When I arrived back in Bs As and before I smashed the nexus' screen to smithereens I was unable to get any sort of 3g internet coverage when i added my movistar chip. Movistar...

It seems the market believes an arrangement with the holdouts is almost a done deal. What else could explain this sudden dip? Cant be down to just more controls and inspections.

Anyone knows if they sell such a thing here? Its for my father-in-law's golden retriever and I just don't have the time to make one for them this week.

I was wondering if anyone has been to the races here in Buenos Aires. I believe that the main track is in San Isidro and I would like to take my 18 year old son along one day. The only problem is that he is in a wheelchair and I wanted to know if the course is setup with access for him to get...

I dropped my Nexus 4 today resulting in one smashed screen. Any idea where I can get this repaired in this country?

Anyone recommend a good health food shop in Bs As? My wife wants to buy spirulina, cashew nuts and other bits and pieces.
