What're the general thoughts on moving to Mendoza from CABA? What are pros and cons? Any advice from those who have personal experiences would highly be appreciated. Asking for a friend ;)

It was paid last year (recommended by the dentist to avoid further inflation). I'm sure now it's more expensive.

It was around 900,000 pesos.

It ended up taking four more visits to a different dentist (a crown specialist) to get the crown placed. The first two visits were just for taking impressions of my teeth. It could have been done in three visits, but for some reason, the dentist decided to redo the impression. At the third...

When my partner and I had our interview with Migraciones, the interviewer also complained to us about being on a contract instead of a permanent position, among other things. I suppose that's one of the reasons why they work the way they work? Dunno.

These ñoquis are so 'unfamiliar' (I use this word loosely because I don't believe so. Because there have been other Thais before me using the same certificate without any problem) that they asked me to get a new police clearance because the one I provided did not exactly say that "I have or...

Just get all your docs legalized/apostilled before you come to Argentina. All the translations from English to Spanish must be done in Argentina by local certified translators. I didn't legalize my police clearance because the Argentine Embassy in Thailand was stupid (that specific guy) didn't...

Things were more expensive for sure pretty much everywhere but in Thailand it's still manageable, depending on where you shop. I came across this video of a couple of Americans doing their grocery shopping in Bangkok. I'm not sure where they shopped but it looks like a mid to high end...

I'm married to a native Argentine and we did all the procedures by ourselves so it only cost me some fees of translations, legalization of documents etc. Quite minimal. But the only thing that cost quite a lot was when I had to send my police clearance back to the Argentine embassy in my home...

I've been to Malaysia, only Kuala Lumpur, twice for work but it was around 20 years ago. I think both Thailand and Malaysia are similar in many aspects. The main difference is that Malaysia is predominantly Muslim and Thailand is Buddhist which makes some aspects of life in Thailand feel more...

The overall experience hasn't been bad but I still don't quite understand the several visits before the first procedure which was the tooth extraction. I did have to see a few different dentists and none of them did anything except saying that 'yeah I do need an implant' which I already knew...

Update: Yesterday I went in for the abutment. The procedure didn't take long, roughly 20 minutes, but the wait was long. The system allowed me to schedule my turno at 19.40 but then the subsequent email confirmation with Swiss Medical informed me to arrive 30 min early so I planned on getting...

El Enemigo is cheaper in the UK than in Argentina :ROFLMAO: . Here at Coto it costs 25600 pesos and at a chino probably around 23000 pesos.

Pad See Ewe!

Give you one more ;)
