What is the maximum dollar amount are you personally allowed to get from an ATM machine, PER DAY, in Colonia? I have a $500/day limit in the U.S. but Argentina wags the 'bank' finger and says: "no, no, no!" and only gives me $300/day(in pesos), What is your experience in dollars, per day, from...

I know you mentioned that it is too complicated for Turbo Tax, But.... Have you tried HandR Block's software? I buy it through Amazon.com. About $50 bucks(downloaded electronically). the HR premium plus state has everything from owning property to State filing. It walks you through. If you...

$5000 ARG Pesos buys a complete Solar kit to charge 3 or 4 - LED light bulbs and a small TV or laptop. That's about $625 US for a Solar Panel (45 watt?), inverter, charger, battery, cable, and bulb holders. There are many Solar stores in BA or others that ship nationwide...

Good: Xoom.com's rate on the dollar was 6.6/pesos per dollar last Friday(1/12/2013) Higher on Florida in BA Bad: Like previously mentioned, prices have gone up quite a bit. Where I live cheapest, good, beer 10pesos. Supreme Nafta 7.5/ltr the Ugly: Google "riots argentina". A few weeks ago...

I noticed your Post has it's last dates around 6/14/2009 and 6/15/2009. Three years have gone by. I can't link to your web site. Are you still open? I can't imagine you have the same Candy after the embargo. Do you? IF yes, to most questions, we're coming! Mark IV

Quoted from the Guardian(UK), April 14, 2010: " A certain US soft drinks giant may disagree, but Bolivia has come up with a fizzy beverage it says is the real thing: Coca Colla. The drink, made from the coca leaf and named after the indigenous Colla people from Bolivia's highlands, went on...

I live in the Argentine countryside. Most of the farmers are really pretty good when it comes to trash. Now and then near the edge of my town we see plastic bags of paper, plastic trash just thrown out on the ground. We burn all of our plastic and paper. Whatever glass and and metal cans...

I've been in S. American 6 years. 3 in Santa Cruz, Bolivia and 3 in Argentina. I used to drink Dr. Pepper and ocasionally Pepsi in the U.S. I don't like the taste of coke in U.S. except fountain drinks. So I didn't drink Coke when I first got to Bolivia. Although Coke tastes pretty much the same...

I'm a retiree from the San Francisco Bay area living in the Bahia Blanca area. Our experience with meeting other people from the States down here is almost 'nil'. I guess tourists and others don't come by BB that much. At the 'Migracion' office I've met alot of Mormons from the States. Also...

Make sure you have uninsured motorist coverage, especially if you bought a new car! I bought a new 2010 Ford Ecosport(make sure you have a DNI before you buy a new one too, or you can't register it)about 2 years ago. I was then paying 150 pesos a month for insurance for Full coverage, so I...

I know what you mean. I wired once, then after that I couldn't anymore.... BUT, it's crazy, but PayPal works. You can pay individuals in Argentina with Paypal from the U.S., At least I have(pay yourself). Maybe a business that just excepts Paypal. You can set up very nice websites, without...

My wife and I bought a small farm outright and a 2010 Ford Export outright. We live on retirement at $1460 a month. Food from the other posts sound about right. We live on about $400/month food(or $200 a piece). The price of gas and everything else, we don't have that much left over at the end...

I don't know if they import Dekyper anymore but that was the best I've found(for Long Island Iced Teas). I thought the quality of some of the Triple Secs were awfully poor. I would go to a liquor specialty shop for that. Mark IV

All three of the Farmacias in my little town have a big weigh scale near the front door. They're bigger than bathroom scales(which I use before flights). Maybe you have a Farmacia that has one close by if the bathroom scale isn't big enough. M IV

One of the best Beatle cover groups anywhere, is performing at the Gran Rex on May 24, 2012. Mark IV

El Queso and others, you are right. The wealthy shop owners in the center of Santa Cruz, Bolivia wanted to shut down the "Ropa Americana" but it didn't happen. I don't know why. Maybe too many poor people or they demonstrated or something. (I'm amazed how people can demonstrate down here and...

Here in Argentina, I think it's a "roll of the dice" with shipping and taxes. But to increase your odds of not going to the worst spot Ezeiza(airport) or the 2nd worst, Correro International, I'd do what you thought of doing already Neil. I'd send them in separate packages and here's why. One...

Say listen, call me Pollyanna, but I don't quite understand the question. Is the question "Where can I get a Yellow Fever vacine shot going to the U.S.?" I must be misunderstanding it because I've never needed one. Is this something new, or is this Argentine Passport holders going to the U.S...

Yes, I'd have to agree slingbox. They sell it at Radio Shack, I know. They had a sale on them, the last time I was in the States(2 yrs ago). I wish I would have gotten one, EXCEPT,(anyone correct if I'm wrong, I was really into the tech side then, I've forgotten now)....EXCEPT you need someone...
