I’ve been there, and it’s super draining when no one takes it seriously. Have you checked the building’s bylaws or co-ownership rules? Most of them have specific clauses about noise and disturbances, especially during certain hours. If talking to the owners and building management doesn’t help...

As an Argentine, I’d say that the issue of the Malvinas is much more than just what the islanders think or want. The conflict isn't based solely on the opinions of the people living there; it's about a historical, legitimate claim to sovereignty that Argentina has had for over 180 years. The...

I totally get where you're coming from, but I believe happiness isn’t just about financial stability. Sure, it’s easier when you have a steady income in dollars, but the sense of community, culture, and connection that you find here is truly something special. I’ve met so many people who are...

Oh no, I’m so sorry to hear what happened! That sounds incredibly painful. I hope you're managing okay despite the fracture. As for an orthopedic doctor, I highly recommend Clínica San Camilo. They specialize exclusively in traumatology and have some of the best specialists around. I'm sure...

I get your point, but the Falklands (Malvinas) are considered Argentine territory by most of us here. The claim dates back to 1820, when Argentina first established sovereignty over the islands. Although the British took control in 1833, the islands have been a source of tension ever since. Many...

I think locals do buy these things, but often on installments with credit cards, which is very common due to inflation. Many people also wait for discounts or travel abroad to shop for clothes. As for food, it’s the same story. A basic chocolate bar that costs $2 in the U.S. or Europe might be...

Even artists choose the Argentine audience time and time again… It’s going to be an amazing experience, especially considering that the Gallagher brothers are reuniting after so many years apart!

Here's a thread where this topic is being discussed. Telegram could work for calls, but it’s not exactly the same. https://www.expatsba.com/threads/is-skype-closing-down-i-heard-they-are-closing.5157/

It seems like your friend might need to see a doctor instead of a massage therapist. I know that’s not what you’re asking for, but it could be the best option. I’m all for massage therapy, but before getting one, I’d make sure there’s nothing broken, cracked, or torn. Seeing a traumatologist...

Hi! Here’s a thread where that talks about it. Personally, I recommend Jesiccaleo Peluqueria I’ve been going there for years, and the colorists are very professional. I highly recommend it! https://www.expatsba.com/threads/trustworthy-hair-salon-and-colorist.5070/...

I heard that poverty is going down, but in reality, it doesn’t seem that way. If things were really improving, consumption should be going up, but we’re seeing the opposite. Something as basic as meat, which has always been a good indicator, has dropped in demand. It’s strange because if people...

Hey Katy! You can find them at any supermarket. For bread, look for harina 000, which is a refined wheat flour with gluten. I usually go for Morixe or Cañuelas. For baking, you'll need harina 0000, which is even more refined than 000. Same brands work for this too. You can also check out...

Most Open 25 kioscos have those self-serve machines where you can top up your phone by simply entering your phone number and inserting cash. You can also recharge your SUBE card there. Some kioscos even offer recharges through Mercado Pago, just ask or check if they have a sign indicating they...

La Serenísima Estilo Colonial is absolutely delicious! 😊 You can spread it on toast, crackers, or even rice cakes. I also love it with bananas, honestly, we put dulce de leche on everything here! Pancakes with dulce de leche are a classic, and most cakes are filled with it too. Once you try it...

I totally agree with you. It's been a while since I’ve heard of issues at customs. In the past, there were some cases where customs officials were found to be involved in bribery, especially when they targeted locals importing goods. Many people had to unpack their items, sometimes just to find...
