    DNI vs Cédula

    I understand the Cédula is no longer being made. It was a separate ID with a different number, for police use mainly, and valid as passport in neighboring countries only. The DNI number was on it as well. I'd go back and clarify the whole thing.

    How do Argentines refer to their DNI cards?

    "De-eneí" or "deneí". When asked, "documento" or "número de documento" are probably more common. "Documento" stands for DNI and its earlier versions "Libreta Cívica" (women) and "Libreta de Enrolamiento" (men) many elder locals still carry. You don't have to be specific unless asked (normally...

    I found this: http://gpsdrinks.com.ar/bebidas%20sin%20alcohol_9.htm Last item on the list. Their delivery area includes Recoleta. You could try contacting Rolito, as well.

    Towns in Argentina Where I will be the only Foreigner?

    Thanks for pointing that out. I've been to MDP three times this year alone and haven't seen foreigners, but that doesn't mean there aren't any. It's a big city. Other posters mentioned Rosario and Cordoba, but making clear they didn't see foreigners around. I think MDP's a beautiful city with...

    Best Thing about this Culture?

    100% true. Back in the nineties, with the famous "1 a 1", people had a significantly greater buying power and I can assure it showed.

    Expat Names that sound strange to Argentines

    Well, now it's me not knowing how to pronounce it. Is it lane, or lean? I'll risk the e is silent...

    Trouble Ahead?

    Did you know you could change the date of your post for any date back to at least 1960 and that part of your post would still be current?

    Best Thing about this Culture?

    But... what if it's the other way around? "Amablemente" (Tango) La encontró en el bulín y en otros brazos... Sin embargo, canchero y sin cabrearse, le dijo al gavilán: "Puede rajarse; el hombre no es culpable en estos casos." Y al encontarse solo con la mina, pidió las zapatillas y ya...

    Expat Names that sound strange to Argentines

    People... unless you're being mocked like the OP, nothing wrong if you don't get you're names pronounced perfectly well. Especially vowels. We don't have mixed vowel sounds. Someone mentioned Facundo... I met a Facundo in college, in the US. He was an Argentine, too. Faekiundou was just about as...

    Expat Names that sound strange to Argentines

    "Yes! And it's spelled with two R's, como forro. Sorry, I don't know the Spanish word for underdog. ¡¡¡FORRRRRRRO!!!" Tell them that and watch them stop laughing.

    Best Thing about this Culture?

    Not all of us accept infidelity. I take my fidelity to prostitutes very seriously. I can be tolerant, though.

    You're right there. I stand corrected.

    Garantia question

    I don't get your first question. Please elaborate. Second question. Normally, you put a "seña" first, in order to get priority (I suppose that's what you meant by offer). Then you negotiate a deal. Your garantía will be in the contract, so it'll be a process request. In fact, expect to...

    Riverplate riots

    When you don't find sense, look for motives. River should have descended to the second division in '83, when the finished last. All of a sudden, AFA came up with this "brilliant idea", and River stayed in the first division. Obviously, the AFA geniuses didn't come up with something even better...

    Interesting answer but, with all due respect, please explain why you think a collective approach is necessary in this context.

    Knife robbery attempt in Palermo

    I'll say what I think it's more important: to be more careful. CedarPawn said it already: avoiding trouble comes before getting out of it. It doesn't surprise me someone trained in physical combat would only engage in it as a last resort. I've been robbed on seven occasions, all of them being...

    Need Help ASAP

    Sorry to hear that, cruizes. I had an experience very similar to yours in the past. There's nothing I could add to what's been said here already, but I'll be crudely honest to you: just like me, you made a mistake: written or not, you waited too long. Next time, make sure YOU start the renewal...
