Argh! I have been so happy with our portero. He has made me feel safe, fixes anything, never will take tip money (except Christmas), and has been extremely helpful and friendly. Well, I have learned even if you have a great portero here, your neighbors are likely to screw it up. The...

I am posting this for my Argentine hubby who doesn´t have time to attend a class on the subject. He stays off this board but speaks English fluently. My husband is looking for someone that can come over to our place once a week or, so and teach him web design and basic programming to start...

Just saying. I have good feelings about this week. This was my first time passing customs as a resident and I passed through customs with a small bribe. I was expecting a lot worse. I think it is my lucky day.

Just wondering. I am a light sleeper. Mondays I usually wake up around 6 am when I start hearing street noise but, today it is super quiet. I haven´t even heard any neighbors yet this morning.

I looked for this in the threads but didn´t find quite what I was looking for. Anyone know if you can travel right after applying for residency or, if you have to wait? We have a trip to the U.S. coming up but, I also need to apply for residency (through marriage). By the time we leave I will...

We recently had our church wedding in Argentina (the civil we did before moving here.) We made gift registry lists in a few places including Falabella. Today when we went to start collecting the things we want we realized most of the things on our list from just a month or so ago are no longer...

Let me preface this by saying I really do enjoy living here but, I also have a lot of advantages being married to a local and being able to speak a decent level of Spanish. We have been back and forth a lot in the past. Going back and forth it is hard to get a grasp on what is going on. Now...

*Updated. I went a little crazy venting. Here´s a shorter version. I know we all rag on the Argentine bureaucracy for being inept and inefficient so, for a change I would like to share my experience with the U.S. government. Upon finally finding a certified location to do ink fingerprint...

We are moving to a place with a sunny, albeit small balcony. I want to put a few plants out there this year. Where do I start looking for information? I have never done much gardening and I need the basic info- what to plant when and how to do it. After reading the hyperinflation posts I...

Hey everyone, I am heading down next year to live. My husband is from Buenos Aires and we hope this move is for quite a while if not a permanent move. We can´t help that we love our friends and family there. What types of preparations would you all suggest? We do know the challenges of...
