My intel is a bit old since my child went there ages ago, but he and we loved Belgrano Day School. It’s a Cambridge IB school, so follows that standard curriculum if you more elsewhere. He had a Spanish teacher half of the day and English the other half. Amazing playfields (out of the city) that...

Yes, although I read that big rats can still push up the lid and get out!

Ok, so here's one from left field. We just had a rat come up a toilet! We heard a strange gurgling sound coming from the bathroom and my wife went to check. To her immense shock she was confronted with a large rat in the toilet bowl. I then went to check and it was gone. Presumably (hopefully!)...

That reminds me of something that happened last week at the family-owned frozen-yogurt place I frequent (down on Talcahuano and Paraguay.) They recognize me when I come in, they know I'm from the States, we chat about Miami, etc. On my first visit back after 4 months away, the owner (who had...

I return on Monday, and will be selling just enough dollars to pay my living expenses for the next week or so (then when I run out of cash, rinse and repeat). Since the rate will either be (at best) more favorable or (at worst) the same in the following weeks, putting it off definitely seems...

The numbers are real. My accountant audits them from time to time and says they're in line with the expenses of other clients in the same business. Btw, I did not include my income taxes or bienes personales in the monthly number. As I said, it's a high-end apartment. The monthly expenses...

Has anyone successfully carried a substantial amount of cash out of Argentina and made it through customs without any issues? While the process of declaring cash when leaving the US or EU is relatively straightforward, it seems that in Argentina, declaring cash might be an open invitation for...

Do you have a heavy-duty deadbolt on the door? If not, it's probably a worthwhile investment.

It doesn't matter whether it's in dollars or pesos. The limit for undeclared cash brought into or out of the country is USD10,000 or its equivalent (in foreign currency, traveler's checks, gold or silver, etc.)

According to the papers, the people who have been caught trying to take undeclared cash out of EZE were stopped at the security checkpoint (because the masses in their bags looked suspicious enough on the X-ray screen for security flunkies to rifle through their bags.) If you are carrying it on...

No offense to your client, but if you walk around BA flashing a Rolex, you should pretty much expect to get mugged.
