I left BA a few months ago in a chain of events that saw me be ripped off by my landlord, by the taxi driver that carried me to the airport, by the government with their 20% travel surcharge on tickets and luggage fees, by the airline with luggage fees, by SENASA, by the central bank who refused...

I live in a 42 m2 apartment and am still surprised to find that Edenor costs me between 350-380 pesos/month (which I think is excessive). I'd like to know what others are paying for a similar sized apartment with and without a subsidio. Thanks.

At least 2 airline cargo departments have told me that pets MUST, by law, be shipped using the services of private companies such as worldwides dogs due to customs regulations. I really find this hard to believe. Frankly, I think it's just another Argentine ripoff. Has anyone else experience...

Not wanting to be outdone by Heaven, Moreno just decreed that industria argentina will now provide everything one could ever desire and without cost; clothes, choris, coca-colas and football for all!

Recently, the monster Videla called for an uprising against CFK and her cronies. It got alot of press in Europe and particularly in Spain that were in wasn't for maverick judges like Baltasar Garzon, other reprehensible persons like Pinochet would have peacefully passed away in his rented West...

Isreal is claiming that Syria has just used chemical weapons against it's own people. The drums of the US war machine are beating for a full scale invasion of Syria. Here we go again...

Never one to complain ;-), I was shocked (not so much shocked, more like totally annoyed again) upon visiting Farmacity earlier today to buy some aspirin only to learn that those genuii in the city administration have passed a new law. The row nearest to the prescription counter, the one that...

I received an unwelcome surprise changing USD in my local cueva today. Evidently, today's 6.1 rate is only good for 100 USD bills and they give only 5.9 for 20 USD bills. Now I know Argentines have so many angles that it's impossible to calculate in advance all the ways they try to take...

Ok so I went out tonight to Las Canitas to celebrate a great month. I went to mute and bought a bottle of very expensive champagne for myself and immediately offered it to the couple beside me. It took the Argentine douche bag jealous ass*ole only about 15 minutes to attack me without...

1. The current band of idiots ruling this country won't last forever. 2. Summer is coming and everyone will generally be happier. 3. Permatourism still rocks Please help me out here...

Ok, so it's been 6 months since CFK, Moreno, Timmerman, Kiciloff and about 250 pro-K businessmen (including several with documented connections to drug-trafficking and prostitution) travelled to Luanda promising success in increasing international trade... Does anyone know if anything positive...

AND takes the entire cast of that ab*rtion of a third-rate, third-world, low-brow, mouth-breathing TV program, Show Match, with her. Come on, we all know she stole those jewels. Argentines...amazing...they can't even steal well.

Anyone know anyplace in or near Belgrano?

Anyone else read Jim Holts' book; "Why Does the World Exist?: An Existential Detective Story" and want to discuss?

Any takers on how long it take them to fire him? I say no more than 12 months.

I'm thinking about renting and sharing an office space on Bonpland near Soler. I'm looking for 3-4 expat professionals who might be interested in sharing the costs which I can't see being more than 2000 pesos/month each including internet and electricity. It's a new building so we'd probably...

Does anyone know what these should cost? The dentist told me that just the bottom would cost the same and both the bottom and top and run about $2500 USD. Also the dentist wants to give an exchange rate of 6 pesos:1USD which also significantly increases the cost in pesos.. If anyone has gone...

How does this nation expect anyone to take it's judicial system seriously when, for example, a musician can murder his wife by dousing her with fuel and setting her on fire only to see her die slowly and painfully in a hospital after years of documented abuse, then drag the trial out forever and...

I was just jolted out of complacency with 240V of pure (probably poorly regulated) Argentine electricity. Go Edenor! While plugging in my iron this morning I received a jolt like never before...which was followed in the same spot by an ongoing noisy little sparky/fire ball that continued...
