You don't really need a prescription for many drugs here. Try taking the packet from the drug you want into a neighbourhood farmacia and just ask for a repeat. Not farmacity or the big chains though - they are more likely to ask for a prescription.

All apartment buildings here have a reglamento which states what the owner may do with the apartment. AirB&B uses may not qualify as a legal use. If it doesn't, and the guests make themselves obvious, you can be sure that other owners will start to complain and take legal action.

When I was new to Buenos Aires I would have said to speak to your building administrator, etc, etc. After nearly 10 years here I would strongly advise that you just cut the cable. Instant result, minimum drama. As in the example UK Man gave above, it is likely that the people responsible will...

Go to Galeria Jardin at Florida 537 and you will find dozens of places under one roof. If you really need an IT consultant try ricardo at [email protected] - he gives great repair service and advice, and he speaks English too (he is an expat). Good luck La Fleur

Interesting article about UBER in Miami: Taxis suing Miami-Dade for 1 Billion over new Uber law

Best restaurant salads I've had in Buenos Aires were from Amici Miei at Defensa 1072 (above Plaza Dorrego). And their mushroom risotto with truffle oil is the best I have ever eaten - anywhere. La Fleur

It is definitely illegal to photograph any building that is used for Jewish activities (eg synagogue, school, community centre). For obvious historic reasons. Sorry, can't quote the appropriate code. But at a minimum you will be asked to remove the photos from your camera if you get seen doing it.

I understand that buildings have to (by law) use a fumigador monthly in the common areas of buildings, and also to offer their services to each unit in the building. It is my experience, in two buildings, and after several changes of fumigador, that their services make little difference. What...

I am a kindle addict but have found mine can be a bit temperamental in high temperatures and/or humidity. As you haven't said you actually cracked the screen, but just that it won't work, you might like to experiment with it a bit before you give up on it. I often find that turning the kindle...

Just for reference, what dates are the summer vacations of the court (or where can one find these online)? Thanks

At the moment t is illegal to import, advertise and sell vaping products in this country. (This country produces a large quantity of tobacco, which may have something to do with it. There is a suggestion that it may be legalised this year, but don't hold your breath.) It is not illegal to vape...

Thanks for the BBC video link. I saw a Joe Cocker concert when he was on tour about 12 years ago. Absolutely fabulous evening. What a voice! My favourite is 'You are so beautiful'. Thanks Joe, for all the beautiful music. La Fleur

You haven't said if the calefon fires up when you turn the hot tap on, or whether it just stays on the pilot light. If it is firing up, the hot water has to go somewhere, But if it is not firing up, sometimes it is because the water pressure is not sufficient to fire it up. This may happen...

I don't have any experience with the marriage situation. But since he is the spouse of an Argentine citizen he is entitled to citizenship here himself - he just needs to apply for it. So I suggest you do as others suggested - carry a copy of your marriage certificate and maybe even a photo of...

When Peter Jackson (Heavenly Creatures, Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, King Kong, etc) was making his first feature movie Bad Taste, the NZ Film Commission came up with funds that enabled that movie to be finished. This funding of a 'splatter' movie was highly controversial, even among NZ Film...

Exactly! And wouldn't it be nice if all contributors engaged their brains before engaging their keyboards. This is not a private space, and many things that are written here are best not written about in detail in public. (And, in my opinion, some would be better not said at all, but that is the...

[/i] What a rude person you are Big Al! Dr Rubilar has contributed - free of charge - an enormous amount if time, energy and specialist information to the topic of getting citizenship (and others) on BAExpats. And he has been doing it for many years. Since long before you joined the site (last...

While this is correct, it is not the whole story for verification codes. I used this format in several situations, and it worked ONCE. But after that it didn't work again - ie verification texts just didn't arrive. Which is a disaster if you are using your cel for verification in critical...

Clearly some people have very strong opinions about this topic. I had my two porteno cats (one male and one female) neutered at my own vet when they were about 7 months old. I paid for this but it wasn't very expensive. The male cat was awake but groggy when I picked him up, but was then up and...

I got citizenship a year ago using Dr Rubilar. I have no Argentine family or partner (just Argentine cats). I had lived here for 5 years on tourist visas at the point I began the process, and had owned and lived in a local property for most of that time. I didn't need any witnesses as I used...
