    Tourism will generate 1.5 million jobs in Argentina in 2024

    I read that post on X and was thinking the same as you @TonyTigre that he is very bad at math! I get his point about the big price increases. Prices seem to be at least 200% more than last year. I see some posts online about prices and I think many of the more cost conscious nomads are going...

    Real Estate Sales Great New Construction For Sale that is going to be Completed by August 2024 - Meet Palermo

    Congratulations Johnny. I bought a 2 bedroom condo in this building and would have liked to have kept it but my mom died suddenly after I got back home last year. I had so much to deal with and decided to postpone my move down to BA. I bought at a good time and was able to sell my apartment...

    Has anyone applied and been approved for the Rentista visa?

    Good luck on your Rentista @StatusNomadicus! I had to postpone my move down. My mother passed away unexpectedly not long ago and dealing with many issues related to that. I am following along your journey to get your residency. Good luck!

    Real Estate Sales Another micro-neighborhood of Buenos Aires' Palermo - Palermo Freud

    I was going to say! I just bought a new construction late last year and I paid about $2,700 per sq. meter. I'm told prices have gone up and my building where I bought sold out. That unit listed is crazy small. I can't imagine there are too many takers for that being so tiny.

    Newcomer A Serb in Buenos Aires

    Welcome @ognjen! I hope to move down there later this year or next year. Are you using the lawyer Rubliar? I assume so as he is the only one that goes straight to the Citizenship route. Can you post about your experiences as you go through the process. I'm curious to hear about how...

    Tips for my 2 weeks trip to BA - Apartment recommendations

    @1031Brah. You will be fine with credit cards and Western Union. I brought some cash with me but I ended up using much of it for my down payment on an apartment so I used Western Union but really you can charge many things to your credit card. Where did you end up booking? I'm itching to come...

    Real Estate Sales Another micro-neighborhood of Buenos Aires' Palermo - Palermo Freud

    Thank you @BuySellBA! You all nailed it. You told me last year this would happen. I can't wait for my apartment to be finished in August.

    Found a bookstore that sells books in English in Buenos Aires - Kel Ediciones

    Good to know but there is no turning back for me. I just download and instantly buy to my Kindle for my iPad. I can instantly get any book and almost always cheaper too and I can bring it wherever I want and doesn't take up space.

    Witnessed a robbery in Belgrano

    I agree you need to keep these thugs behind bars. No one wants to help as these thugs get out and hunt them down and then take action against them so no one wants to be a Good Samaritan here.

    Teatro Colón fires renowned musical director after child sex abuse allegations - BA Times

    Saw the movie and was horrified. I also saw that about Colombia. I don't have kids but the entire thing made me sick. It's unbelievable this sort of thing but then again I look at the Catholic church and how long they passed on these child predators from diosese to diosese. I'm sure in...

    Any guesses where we think the Blue dollar exchange rate will head in 2024?

    Looks like blue heading back up as some have predicted. Milei seems to want to fix things but honestly if Argentina keeps printing money which looks like it must do, then the blue dollar will keep going up. It is going to be a really really tough job given the situation he inherited. I'm...

    Mosquitos Mosquitos everywhere! Really bad this year!

    Ha! Don't be hard on @Larry he never said Milei is to blame for the mosquitos. (Everything else YES!). Even while I was there in November and December it was bad. Some places I would eat outside, I was getting bit up. But they had bug spray back then. Note to self, bring some bug spray to BA.

    Politics Argentina court suspends Milei's 'mega-decree' labor reforms - Reuters

    This guy doesn't look like he has ever missed a meal. In fact, instead of eating 3 main meals a day he looks like he is eating a meal every hour of the day. He certainly isn't hurting for food!
