I found the newsletter on the embassy website but no way to sign up for it to be delivered by email. I couldn't even find a way to notify the embassy that I'll be living in Argentina, although it's mentioned on the embassy's site. Maybe I'm blind. Can you point the way? Thanks! Hi Dave and Mersal,

I noticed you referenced an expat newsletter produced by the U.S. Embassy in BsAs. I found the newsletter on the embassy website but no way to sign up for it to be delivered by email. I couldn’t even find a way to notify the embassy that I’ll be living in Argentina, although it’s mentioned on the embassy’s site. Maybe I’m blind. Can you point the way?

Thanks!

I've been here since mid-August and if I were to come up with one, it would greatly coincide. I couldn't agree more on the Slingbox issue. We've had the same problems. Though, I've learned to dig the man-kiss, and have found good sushi. I highly recommend Azul Profundo in Retiro. It's all-you-can-eat and the best sushi I've eaten here. Pricey, sure, but worth the trip. A friend pointed your site out to me. Really great work here. I've got one going, too, and it seems like we've covered many of the same topics. Check it out <a href="http://reedrambles.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">here</a> if you're interested. Nice list!
