Hi!, I'm producer from Buenos Aires and we're looking for US & Canadians for a Documentary about "Water as unique resource" to be showed at an International Fair in Spain later this year.

We're looking for Males and Women aged 18-65 years old, from USA/Canada living in Buenos Aires area. Don't need to be an actor, since we're looking for "real" people (its just sit front of the camera and give thoughts about the Water and its future as a natural resouce based on a brief script and your opinions).

If you are interested, or known any who might be, please contact me at: [email protected]

Thx!

Hi to all!!! PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME I AM DESPERATE FOR ADVICE AND DIRECTION, ETC. AND PLEASE READ THIS EVEN THOUGH IT IS LONG! THANK YOU!!!
I am currently in the US in North Carolina and am studying and majoring in nursing and spanish ... I am about 1/2 done with my nursing, but have had some set backs. My boyfriend is from Argentina, Mar del plata and he is actuaally graduating from our college in about 2 weeks and going back home. He is here to play basketball and we have been dating goign on 2 yrs and are very very serious. I went to Argentina last July and am going back for about 1 month this summer (or winter there). I LOVE it there and could totally be there with him in the near future for sure!... but We are trying to finish our individual things and he's going back to play ball until he can start to study law when the school year rolls back around there. I am very nervous about how things will play out but there is serious definite talk about me studying there and obviously living there with him. I am sure I want to puruse nursing but dont knwo how valuable it will be to finish here completley (about 1 1/2 more yrs) then go there obviously I will have to study some there to be able to work in nursing, health care, etc. I haven't been able to find much information about studying nursing there, my degree counting or helping me, or how to go about pursuing a health care/nursing degree there, and to be able to not have to study for so so so so long too. I am pretty fluent in reading spanish and on my way to being fluent in speaking, but not there yet, it will come I know with time. Can anyone please please direct me in how to finish here/ pursue there, what is the best route, the best options and opportunities, etc. etc. etc.?? I will take any and everything!!! This blog is great, so please post your replies and information you have, advice, sugestions, facts to help me out! THanks so much you all!!!! Un beso enorme a todos!

Hola,

My partner Brian and I are moving from Washington, DC to Mendoza in three weeks. BIG QUESTION as the movers show-up here this coming Wednesday, 8/23.

We just found out that until you have a permanent visa after three years, you have to pay a "warrant" in order to get your household goods (furniture, dishes, linens, etc.) cleared through Argentine customs.

Does anyone know how much this warrant costs? For example, is it based upon full value of household goods if they were new? used? We're trying to find out if the warrant is going to be so expensive that it is not worth bringing our household goods down to Argentina.

Any quick info would be greatly apprecaited.

Thanks....

Frank
