TTR funny you say that, expat and local mates I have gone to Alamo with both think the same - the booze seems to be 3x as strong haha.

Try not to stray too far from your apartment or organise transport before hand - taxis are hard to get and cost about 10 times as much...

I lived in Argentina for a couple of years with work and return frequently as my GF is Argentine. If you want to teach English for a bit and have an adventure, I would say Buenos Aires is your place. It won't always be smooth sailing but just bring plenty of cash - so you can live an upper...

Bostonio do you live in Tucuman? My partner is a Tucumána...

Taco box on cerviño we used to go often. It's not authentic but I quite liked the food but it's a cool place - restaurant/bar. While you wait you can have a drink at the bar. You might even be lucky enough to see an argentine c grade celebrity - we have seen a few there.

Good read. Buenos Aires still pretty cheap compared to other world cities primarily because of rent and public transport/taxis. Not sure there are many places in best parts of LA/NYC/Sydney/London where you can rent a decent 1 bedroom apartment for USD 500 (give or take) per month. I know in...

If you can afford it, Palermo. For location and safety and just being generally cleaner/nicer. I lived in between Libertador/Av Las Heras for 2 years and liked the area. However, it is more expensive so you would need to weigh that up. Have you been to Bs As before? If not I would recommend...

So I just spoke with my cc (GE money) and it appears they are still using the old rate. Theirs are based on xe rates and it is right - hadn't been updated.

My bank in Aus is closed but master card global is next best which I will call. Will let everyone know what they say.

Hi everyone. Hope you are all well - it has been a while since I posted...I am back in Argentina for a few weeks for Christmas/New Years. Has anyone used an overseas master card yet today? I was wanting to try mine out, but not game to yet! I checked the master card global rates and they...

So Argentines are above those from the Philipines? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!

Anyone know of Chinos that buy dollars around Scalabrini Ortiz / Las Heras region. Thanks

Got 9.4 this afternoon. Most of what I heard was around 9.3 / 9.4...

Good luck!!! :)

Just a bump on this thread. Still a few things left and I have dropped the price to get rid of them: - washing machine - SOLD - wardrobe - SOLD - whiteboard (with tripod and markers) - now AR$ 200 http://baexpats.org/classifieds/item/897-whiteboard-with-tripod-stand/ - dining table + 4 chairs -...

Send me a PM!!

Yes plan is to settle in Perth at this stage. She is from Tucuman so I think it will be easier on her adjusting to a smaller city anyway. She spent a cpl of months in Perth during winter and loved it so it's a good sign!!

I am sure my love story is floating around here somewhere!! Lol Basically, we met when I was travelling around Sth America in 2010 and we travelled together for a couple of months. I just totally fell for her, most beautiful girl jnside and out I had met (in my eyes). From then we just did...

No wiki or sources needed. Its obvious 12,400 is not the median income here. Try halving it (at least). Anyhoo, I do remember reading an article in la nacion a cpl of months back that quoted the median household income in Palermo being less than that.
