I have flown this way this several times without incident. For best luck I strongly recommend not checking bags (carryon only), and print your boarding pass in advance.

I think it is important to remember that for every dollar sold, a peso is purchased by someone who wants one, and the only thing that can be done with a peso is purchase goods or services in Argentina. The exchange exists because people who have pesos and need dollars (to buy parts for their...

Not till every bank account (and mattress) of every person and company in this country is drained of hard currency. The question is how long will that take?

All Ipads are unlocked. Nothing needed but a regular full size SIM. At least on Personal 1 peso per day unlimited data on prepay.

I think that anyone who wants to take a taxi should be prepared to pay for it, and not expect others to. He should have said "I'm going anyway, don't worry about it I'll get it" and you could join in at your option and not share the cost or say good night and take your bus. (At least that's...

Because I use some specialized computers in my business that I can't get here I am often testing the waters. I can tell you that as a foreigner multiple (4+) computers, routers, and other electronics in one bag is enough to trigger an interesting conversation, but I was able to go through with...

Hello, I have a similar need, but longer term. Looking for someone to do private lessons. I am ok on the street, but need help with conjugations, vocab, and speaking in more than fragments and grunts :) Please reply or PM with suggestions. Thanks!

With the recent rules you will be taxed 15% for any foreign credit card purchases, plus you will be sending AFIP all of your credit card data to verify against your reported income.

I am looking for an IT consultant to do some projects for my office. Need to be experienced configuring Sonicwall routers for VPN over wireless. English not necessary. Please PM me if you are interested or know of someone good. This is somewhat advanced stuff, so I do need experience. Thanks!

I would add my vote to I Latina. It is fabulous and actually has Latin American food. Mostly Columbian. Some of the best seafood I have had in BsAs. They were in Bariloche for 4 years and just moved here.

I am looking for an interior designer to help with a quick small office project. Don't need to speak english. Thanks!

There are restrictions (really rules) around importing dollars into the country, but they relate to investment in businesses or securities. It is possible to do so for other reasons if you have the right documentation. If you transfer investment money (or potentially any money) incorrectly the...

Hi, I fell and injured my knee pretty badly. Does anyone have a recommendation of a very good knee specialist in town? Also, I am trying to decide if I should go to the hospital today (Sunday). Can anyone recommend a good one for knee injuries that might have someone good on duty on a Sunday...

I have been biking quite a bit here, though all road. The best place to get decent speed (and stay in once piece) is at the KDT track off of Salguero. I keep my bike there. Lots of pretty fast people to do 20Mph+ with. Tuesdays and Thursdays about 11-1 and Saturday mornings are the best...

I have had the Personal prepay SIM for some time and it does work. Sometimes it is hard to get the system to recognize it, especially after you run out of money. I find that if I do a full shutdown/restart of the phone it usually works after that.

Can anyone comment on what they are seeing for the exchange rate on the informal market? Ambito is saying 4.60 to 4.70. Does anyone have any experience in the last couple days?

I'm spending the weekend in Lima, a first visit. I'm not sure what I expected, but after reading about all the crime, poverty, etc., I wasn't expecting it to be so much more sophisticated than BA in so many ways. The food scene of course makes BA's look bad. That I expected. But I've been...

If they are high performance bikes, there is a shop at the Circuito KDT in Parque Belgrano (on Salguero just past the Alcorta mall toward the Aeroparque). You have to go into the park (costs $3) and across the track into the shop, but it is the best high performance shop in town. They are...

I am back in California for a bit and was shopping at a discount bulk supermarket with good quality meat and checked out the prices here. Lomo in bulk (a whole tenderloin) available exactly the same in Argentina (but much better in AR), $10.99/lb. That's $96 AR/Kilo. More than in the best...

My understanding from talking to Citbank in BaAs is that as long as your home bank limit is high enough you can get $1000 Pesos per transaction and up to three transactions per day (three bank fees of course...) I have found this to be true for my cards, but others I know have been limited to 2...
