    Does anyone else find it strange Argentina still thinks they won the Falklands War?

    But there was a war and Argentina lost and the residents do NOT want to be Argentine. What more to the story is this? It doesn't really matter how Argentines feel about it. It should matter what the people that actually live there feel. And almost all want to be UK NOT Argentine. Exactly...

    Patience is wearing down with President Milei

    Can that be correct about pricing or is that guy lying? I can't believe that something like Ramen would be that expensive. What the hell? How do locals pay that? My friend in town now said it's totally dead in BA with tourists now. How are locals paying that? And why are they paying that??? If...

    Are Argentines worried about a Possible Bank Run (Corralito 2.0)?

    How does this work @Darksider415? When it is declared, how much tax do you have to pay ARCA? I assume that is their IRS? So the company employing you pays on your behalf? I am thinking about remotely working there but I guess if I don't' get residency there you would never declare it to their...

    MUST-TRY vs MUST-AVOID Street Foods in Buenos Aires, Argentina’s CHINATOWN!

    I honestly did not think that the food in Chinatown was good at all. Maybe I hit the wrong places. @FuturoBA have you tried any of these spots? Have you been to Chinatown much? I like spicy food and I went to a few Chinese places and nothing was spicy. I will try some of these places. I am...

    Are Argentines worried about a Possible Bank Run (Corralito 2.0)?

    You would have to be dumb to keep large amounts of dollars in an account in Argentina. The economy minister seems desperate! Without that IMF cash they are screwed.

    Designation of Former President of Argentina and Former Minister of Planning of Argentina for Involvement in Significant Corruption by the USA

    You can't compare what Milei did to Cristina. Night and day. I heard she has an apartment in the USA. I think Miami. Funny she can't visit it now.

    Lesser-Known Neighborhoods to Live in Buenos Aires

    I went out to meet a girl on Tinder from Villa del Parque. Nice area. I will have to check out Villa Devoto. What is nice about Villa Devoto @GlasgowJohn ?

    Transitioning from the British Curriculum: What to Expect for Year 7 Students in Argentina?

    What do these schools cost? Are tuitions reasonable? I keep reading they have gone up. How much are we talking about tuition? How much does a good private school cost there vs. USA for example?

    Skype Is Shutting Down – Best Alternatives?

    Yes GREAT for those of us who travel a lot around. It is going to be missed. At least Americans have more options for American numbers. Sounds like those of you in Europe are limited.

    IMF Agreement: The Government Will Send a DNU to Congress to Obtain Support

    Hopefully they don't blow it on the exchange rate controls. The government is blowing through cash trying to protect the peso. They sold almost a billion US dollars the past few days. It's not going to send up well if they keep doing this. These 2 economists are saying will end in disaster...

    Milei’s Inflation Miracle Distorted by Obsolete Items in Index

    Interesting they include newspapers, cigarettese and telephone lines in their index! No one has telephones anymore. Everyone just uses their cellphones. I rented several Airbnbs and none of them had phone lines. Do people even use these in BA anymore besides offices? Only reason they wouldn't...
