Hit me up if you are already there and looking or would be going around the same time. I. Am. Canadian.

If "ass time" isn't fun, you're doing it wrong. And welcome to the forums.

By ass time, I mean we're getting ass implants to fit in. Cheers Evil, thanks for the warm welcome!

Just left BsAs after about a month. If anyone is looking for a great restaurant with a good mix of Americans and Porteños you should definitely check out The Office at the corner of Arévalo y Arce in Las Cañitas. Amazing food for a reasonable price and extremely friendly staff. They also deliver.

nice. I've been wondering about that place.

imakefrush · 07-15-2011, 11:42 PM

yeah that place is legit. best burgers in the city, very good wings and cheap beer.

chronichighcard · 07-16-2011, 12:10 AM

Yeah, no worries about it. Im pretty sure Monday or Tuesday is half price night all night for drinks and food. (You can get a huge burger and fries for about 15p) Also if you talk to the right person on the right night you can find the best bananas in Argentina.

Can someone give me cliffs about what an American planning on moving to BA should know as far as getting a visa goes?

LozColbert · 07-18-2011, 05:27 PM

yeah, you need a credit card to pay the $140 or so tourist visa fee when you land. that's for 90 days and you won't have to pay again for 10 years. to stay legal you need to leave the country every 90 days. most of us do it by going to uruguay.

revlis87 · 07-18-2011, 05:47 PM

Thanks for the quick response.

revlis87 · 07-20-2011, 08:02 PM

How would you guys rec. I get my computer and 3 30 inch monitors to ba? Shipping will be quite expensive, but it's probably pretty expensive to buy electronics there... Anyone have 30 inch monitors they're trying to sell?

imakefrush · 07-20-2011, 11:42 PM

Never ship any electronics into the country. 3 30's geez that might be tough. The only way I can think that won't be super expensive would be to make some custom roller case that holds all three. Put labels with your editing company's name on them and hope you don't draw a motivated customs worker.

TheMetetrown · 07-21-2011, 12:11 AM

lol at 3 30s. Wtf.

Magis · 07-21-2011, 11:26 AM

anyone have poker chips I can borrow for a very small stakes tournament in Recoleta? If you want to come, more than willing! Have interest in the BA Expat forum. let me know.

Magis · 07-21-2011, 03:30 PM

Can't edit above message but don't need chips anymore.

What do you mean by "editing company?"

And what would be the worst thing that happens if I put them into a suitcase and bring them in (let's say I brought 2 instead of 3) and I get a tough customs guy? I assume a fine...?

Is it possible to buy these monitors in BA? Do they cost an absurd amount?
