Hi Expats, Coming down to Argentina and I would love to fill up my second suitcase to make a little extra money. However, the mule pool website has been down for a long time. Any insight appreciated (or if you need something I could bring it down...PM me).

If you are planning to get a tax refund at Ezeiza, you will only be offered the amount in pesos. I tried to put it on a credit card since I was leaving Argentina and they said it was not possible. Cash in pesos only. I asked them where I could change the pesos to another currency (even though I...

I am moving back to the US at the end of July and I love my BA apartment and the landlady is the sweetest. I want to help her find a new renter/inquilino. It is available on Aug 1st. Here are the details, PM me if interested! -Recoleta studio/monoambiente. Not sure of square meter size. -Two...

Please send me a private message, thanks! (Preferably near Recoleta)

Hi there, I got an 'aviso de visita' for a package of used coats and Orbitz gum sent to me from the US with an aduanas charge of 450 pesos... anyway, i guess the postal guy will be back again tomorrow with the package asking for the fee. Is there any way to lower this fee? It seems really...

Hi! I'm hoping to organize an Easter Egg hunt for the kids I volunteer with. Anyone know where I can buy plastic easter eggs? Preferably near Las Heras y Pueyrredon. Willing to travel though!

I just booked a flight with TAM to Orlando from EZE that flies through Sao Paolo. They told me that I would need a "transit visa" just to stop in Sao Paulo since, as a US citizen, I am going to be there "overnight" arriving on 7/24 evening and departing at 1 am 7/25. My layover is 1.5 hours. I...

I am wondering your thoughts on this theme that I've been contemplating for a few months. I have come to lean towards the conclusion that Buenos Aires thieves are more likely to target males, though I am far from 100%. My rationale is that: 1) guys are more likely to have more cash (open for...

Though this article never directly mentions Argentina, I find it extremely relevant http://www.economist.com/node/21549911?fsrc=scn/tw/te/ar/thebigwhy "...some governments get it wrong on purpose. Amid weak and accommodating institutions, there is little to discourage a leader from looting...

Anyone have any recommendations? I have some friends coming down looking to rent and apartment (furnished) just for a week, not luxurious but not horrible either. Thanks. (Sorry if there is an old thread on this; did do a search but the search terms are really vague.)

Such a cool, short video worth watching! I want to know how they did this http://io9.com/5886105/behold-inception-the-theme-park

My grandma is coming to visit and I wanted to take her on a tour of Teatro Colon. A month ago you could do a tour as an extrajero for 60 pesos (residents 15). I just checked and the new price is 110 pesos (residents 30 pesos). Now I guess I understand the difference in price b/w tourists and...

I'm hoping to check my blood sugar without going to a doctor. Anyone know if I can do this at a pharmacy or buy a kit there? If yes, what should I ask for in Spanish? thanks!

I'm trying to go to Mendoza in March and it is only 650 pesos for residents vs. $450 for foreigners. Don't have a DNI and really want the lower price. If I check-in online and don't check a bag, what are the chances that I get kept from boarding? Or do they just make you pay the difference...

1) what is up with the UGLY platform neon birkenstock-type shoes that hit the street this week in BA? I see these hideous sandals at least 15 times per block. Also don't get me started on the camel-toe exercise shoes. 2) Whyyy is the milk so gross in Argentina? I just want to smell a glass of...

Having trouble finding a gym within a few blocks of this intersection. God forbid I actually have to walk far to my gym ;) thanks in advance!

You know those people in the parks doing acrobatics on cloths tied to the trees? I really want to learn how to do it and I asked some women who were doing it in Plaza Francia how they learned. They said there are a ton of classes. I thought I could easily find some on google (and found a couple)...
