I transferred about $70kUS to the US this past August. Paid 2%. Transfer went through in a couple of days without problem. This was tied to an apartment sale, so it might be different than simply transferring funds.

I used Banco Piano to transfer the proceeds of my apartment sale back to the US at 2%. This was in August.

I just sold my place. I did a transfer in the white (I had a recent escritura and AFIP certificate to show that the money was 'white'). I did it through Banco Piano and paid 2%.

Here it is. The last thing I have left to sell before I take off. I'll knock 200 pesos off for the luxury of dealing with an expat.

These (I need 10 characters)

I have gone through a few shoddy pairs and would like to find some that are well made (for men).

And is there any haggling involved with buying in the stores on Murillo? I would be paying in cash, so I guess I can play that card.

Yeah, it seemed to me like the author was trying to shoehorn in a feeling of indignation that I felt at first, but as I kept reading it started to make a little sense.

Agreed..Im here nearly 8 years and never had the bill thing happen, maybe for the same reasons you quote..had afew other scams though including 1 scary moment when it seemed the driver was setting me up to be robbed at my destination since he didnt know I spoke Spanish....just part of the...

I think 95% of scams can be avoided by not taking cabs that are stationary or in a queue.

Stop whining and make her life hell the best way you can. Its obvious that the Argentine system to stop this abuse is broken, so do what is within your means. The easiest pressure point is to start a campaign against the agent. Post everywhere you can about how corrupt they are. Get friends to...

I use that inhaler. Unless there is some distinction I am missing, I think they are still producing them. Just go to any pharmacy and they should have it. I have noticed that Dr. Ahorro has a cheaper knock-off that I didn't like.

This is especially perplexing for an former server. In the states, almost without fail, I could give sub par service for a variety or reasons, but when they ask for the check, I am super receptive, turn on the charm and get it to them as fast as possible. And they almost invariably tipped me...

Very little tourism money stays in La Boca. I used to do some volunteer work there and virtually all of the souvenir shops and restaurants are owned by outsiders. The barrio obviously has a rich history and has a lot of cool sites (outside of the caminito), but due the crime and the overall...

Don't do it. It is a 3 hour wait in the 7th ring of bureaucratic hell. And then they might not even give it to you. An anecdote: These worthless migraciones workers had some internalized quota system where if they hit the number chime turn thingy every fifteen minutes then they were doing well...

Yeah I would put them on my person and then say one is for personal and one is for business. A while back I brought in a new high end projector (along with a lot of other electronics) and taped a sign on it saying 'Property of Acme Editing'. Probably overkill, but they didn't glance twice.

Moving to the Big Easy

I actually rolled into migraciones on my 92nd or 93rd days and didn't say anything. They didn't seem to care. But I am sure I could have gotten someone in a good mood.

Home Cinema Projector Executive Desk Office Drawers Phillips Home Theater MonoSpeaker HP Printer/Scanner Patrick Fridge (I will need this for another month of so, but you can lock it down with a small deposit) Also, I have two US bought Wireless routers for $100AR each. Plus free books with any...

PIAF. Dorrego 1705 I guess it is technically in Palermo, but barely. Supplies a lot of Hollywood restaurants. Quality and selection is very good and price is reasonable.
