What category did you start the process with? Did you try with the trust? Or just typical rentista income from rental income?

Wow times are so tough in Argentina that people are even cutting back on mate consumption! That is sad....

I talked to an acquaintance today that said they heard from the immigration attorney Rubilar that the government was trying to make it tougher to get Citizenship here. I guess they are going to make it much more difficult to naturalize citizenship here. Does anyone have any information on this?

Playadito is the gold standard. Not just middle aged divorced women but yes many! They are a good chance for cultural exchange. Usually there are some people from other countries. Many from Brazil come too to learn about mate.

Definitely be careful with your phones especially in Soho. You were really lucky @CraigM that you got it back. That was a really honest waitress. Especially if it was a nice model like an iPhone. They steal those a lot here and sell them for parts I heard which can fetch several hundred...

I like that a national store like Diarco is doing it. I think stores like Coto have long accepted USD but the exchange rate wasn't as good as cuevas. These rates are better than cuevas. Hope that trend continues as the dollar is really artificially low...

He moved to Medellin. He lived in Buenos Aires for several years but it just got too expensive for him. He was in his apartment for 2 years but his long term contract ended in BA and the owner jacked up the rent over 250% of what he was paying before. He couldn't get another rental without...

No, I didn't hear any jeering at all. Mi presidente drinking my favorite drink.

Have you gone to Igauzu @TonyTigre? Did you get the Yellow Fever vaccine?
