Yes, there is a lot of old stuff. When I went there I bought some decorations like chandeliers, chandelier and furniture. With that I decorated the house in Argentina. Some of the products are refurbished and in good condition, others like the chandeliers I had to send it to clean because they...

Are you willing to forfeit this deposit if you can not come up with the rest of the money in 6 months? If not, that's probably why he laughed.

San Francisco is literal hell on earth. All of Buenos Aires bad points multiplied by 5 and none of its good points

When did the foreign seller sign the conveyance deed? In the US an escrow agent holds both the monies from the purchaser and the signed conveyance deed from the seller so the escrow agent holds all the cards and makes sure no one gets cheated. After both parties have performed the escrow agent...

How is the escrow process handled when buying property in Argentina using the above method -- or are the payment to the seller and conveyance of deed to the buyer independent events connected only by trust?

At the official exchange rate? Is it possible to have a USD foreign currency account at the right bank?

Don't forget to drive over the bridges at Lago Garzon and La Barra. Piriapolis would make a nice day trip, there's a viewing platform on the rock (supposedly the oldest and most geologically stable on the planet) above the town. Casa Pueblo is also close, and worth a visit. Make sure you get...

maybe you guys have bad luck :) i've never had ubers get lost. yeah sometimes some of them are a little clumsy with the navigation or app, but if they don't give a good experience i don't rate them well. personally i refuse to use taxis unless absolutely necessary. their cars are a disaster...

i have only had one bad experience with an uber driver. generally i find it works pretty well. i prefer to use cabify when i can because they seem to have better quality cars.

I used my chase debit card yesterday (and every week) at carrefour for over 4000 pesos with no problems.

AirBnB has the most options but I prefer vrbo/Homeaway. The search function is easier to use, the overall quality of properties is higher, and I’ve rented with them in over a dozen countries and all over the US (even in the boonies) without a single scam or problem. I often see listings on...

Dear Sir/Madam, We are a couple with one daughter of 13 years old and want to settle down in Argentina. We are looking for some kindness and helpful information for the following questions. 1) Needed documents to apply for a Rentista Visa, do we need a lawyer for this or not? 2) What are the...

I'm hoping to spend around $400 - $500 USD as the top of my budget.

Hello! I'm planning to spend three months in Buenos Aires from January to March 2019. My current job in the U.S. allows me to work remotely during this period, and I'm eager to make the most of my time in Argentina, even with a full-time work commitment. I'd appreciate advice on the following...

If I were in your shoes I'd do everything possible to have the child born in US. For one thing hospitals here are nowhere as clean as in NA. Even the private ones. And if your child decides to make US his home country once he is grown up, having a US birth certificate would make his life much...

Over the top IMO. I can see SB turning tails, not both McD and BK. These two can certainly adapt and continue. I say it's BS.

I'm not a foreigner. Some horror stories I experienced over the years. Banco Buen Ayre (merged into some other bank a long while ago). Oay all pending balances and fees and closed my account. They draw a debt free statement. They started sending me threatening notes because they claimed I owed...

It was very smooth for us too. But we are both US citizens. It took also about couple of weeks. Just have all the docs in order. All info on US embassy site is pretty much all you need. I also had all my doctors and hospital papers, then i was pregnant,( test results, ultrasounds etc.) and they...

Arrgh, the problem with threads like this! You're not hearing from ALL expats, not even my point of view. It would be less than 1% of expats who ever comment on this forum. No issues with learning self defense, never a bad thing for anyone anywhere to learn. But did you get the same urge living...
