All I can say is Wow!!! Did you score! Congratulations especially if you are able to convert your US Dollars into pesos at AR pesos at 9.5. That translates to AR 4,000/9.5 pesos = US$421 a month. Super!!! My Wife and I just moved here and rented a three bedroom, two bath flat with maid's quarters and three balconies, car park and storage unit for $4000 ARS a month. We are in the heart of the city and walk everywhere. When necessary we take a taxi. We know a lot of Argentines but have not yet meet any expats. Mitre San Suites is a great Apart-Hotel. Two bedroom flat for about $400 ARS per night, goes up in high season.

You may also want to try the Algodon Estates in San Rafael. See www.algodonwineestates.co Hi Tom, thanks! This is the company of Michael Evans, isn't it? He is the only potential person I found on the net. Anyway, if there are any more ideas to get a sort of job working with wine please let me know. Thanks in advance Tom for your help. Hello from Austria. Dom

I think what many Americans, Canadians and Europeans fail to realize is the countries they are asking about are all "Third World" countries that may offer both charm, e.g. "the good old days" but also come with incredible bureaucratic incompetence. Again I say, visiting for a week and eating out and drinking every nigh isn't what it will be like as a resident, you are at best a Tourist. Staying for a few months makes you a visitor, renting a residence for six months gives you a better idea of what living in this particular country will really be like. I have seen a lot more Americans return home than those who stay. And I have yet to see a Company or Organization evolve aptly named: Non International Living or Don't Live and INvest Overseas or Escape Back To America or Ex-Ex Pat.

print this one out and use it, I couldn't have said it better myself. Especially the cultural mentor....a definite must have for any country in Latin America as culture is tied to language, government and business on every level, so a good understanding of their history and culture will take you a llllooooonnnngggg way! I have just returned from Guat..I plan to relocate there.You hit the nail on the head when you talk about expats trying to look superior..I was a bit taken aback at the way they spoke to and about the Mayan people ..My adopted daughter is Mayan..I take it very personal..I would definately go native while living there..Thanks for confirming what I was thinking and feeling .

I have also lived in San Rafael and have a 44-hecatre vineyard there. Again, knowing your budget would certainly help move things forward. Hi, If you are visiting San Rafael I can recomend you a good appart-hotel. Are you visiting San Rafael? When? How long?
