    Planning to start a Indian resturant in Buenos Aires

    We've just had dinner at Tandoor today (Laprida y Charcas). The place and the ambiance is nice. However, the food was rather poor. We order chicken tikka masala, which is probably the signature dish of most Indian restraurants, and it was burnt :-( Even the basmati rice was all clustered...

    Any Experience Buying Men's Shoes?

    If I may suggest: http://www.oggi.com.ar These shoes are very good quality and reasonably priced. I particularly like their "zapatos de suela". I bought a few so far and they've been absolutely great. Three years ago I've got a pair for $99 pesos. Today a similar model will go for about...

    Locksmith ripoff? Cerrajero malo?

    Well, talking about locksmiths taking advantage of the situation... get a load of this: We have an 8 month old baby and after my wife was putting her on the back seat in the car, she shuts the door only to realise that *all* car's doors are locked! (which is almost impossible to do given that...

    australian appliances in BA

    My Sony (purchased in Sydney last year) works a great here too. I have a satellite dish. Same goes for blueray player, Wii, Playstation3, etc. So no problems. At any rate, check the appliance's power cord, if it says that it takes 110-240v you should be fine.

    For Sale: Nescafe Dolce Gusto

    We have a Nespresso Citiz and they aren't quite cheap, about 300~350 USD (here they are about ~1800 ARS). Then the catch as you well point out is the capsules... here in Unicenter you can get them 10 capsules pack for about 35 ARS. Yes, one coffee = one capsule. I believe the capsules for the...

    ATM fees info

    Yeah, I don't think you an get away with the Banelco charges (around $16 pesos). However, my suggestion would be to use Citibank ATM as you are able to withdraw up to $2500 pesos at one go and only be charged $16 pesos for it. A much better deal compare to other banks that allow you to get only...

    ATM fees info

    In Sydney I managed to get this card http://28degreescard.com.au. It has very good advantages while overseas specially with exchange rates, transaction and withdraw fees. "You’ll still enjoy no international transaction fees and no annual fee." Check out this thread as well as some other...

    New Entry "Reciprocity" Fee for US, Canada, Australian Citizens...

    I would suggest you write a formal complaint about the way this was handled. Address one copy to the Ambassador, the general consul and one to your MP from your area in Australia. I've done this before and the MP to send a letter to the Ambassador who got to review the case. That's probably...

    just a reminder for Australian travellers to Argentina

    From the SHM article: When coming on the plane to Buenos Aires from Sydney (2 weeks ago), the flight attendant explained that when the "reciprocity fee" was introduced, it did allow the passport holder multiple entries for up to a year from the day it was issued. However, this has changed...

    An argentinian with a few questions

    Well, true... I never said that I wasn't. But I'm also Mexican, Argentinean and Italian. In addition I hold/held permanent residencies for US, India and The Netherlands. Does this make me more or less Aussie in your books? But more important: does that invalidates my experience/perspective...

    An argentinian with a few questions

    Anatolie, Digger, If you get together for some grog, I'm buying. But not necessarily because I agree with you, in fact, the opposite :) Having lived in Australia for an extended period of time I had the exact opposite experience than Digger. Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending Australia...

    Banks and QIF MS Money/Quicken files

    Hi everyone, Just a quick questions about banks in Argentina. I believe most Banks here have some sort of online banking facilities, correct? If so, does anyone know if any of them actually allow you to export your transactions to QIF files (MS Money or Quicken files) so you can do your...
