Crazy that Milei fired his daughter when Milei is doing rug pulls. I wonder if someone in his administration would get caught embarrassing their party. He would fire him right away but now he is doing insane stuff like that...
I have to be honest Larry. For the longest time I thought you were like Chicken Little with the sky is falling but the more time goes by the more I think you are right.
I believed before that Milei was different than the other politicians that were just out to steal from people but I just read...
It is good to see they will develop that area. We have fond memories of that area. We lived in BA many years ago from 2000-2005 and vividly remember the first Starbucks that opened up in Buenos Aires. We stood in line 2 hours at Alto Palermo to get a coffee. Great to see many good coffee houses...
Argentina is a wonderful country but full of many issues and problems. Hopefully, someday it can turn the corner but things are very complex there. My husband was the CFO of a large company there and most days wanted to pull his hair out. He often says it was the most stressful point of his...
When my husband worked in Argentina he had all the Argentine holidays and also all the US holidays. It was very nice. Argentina has the most in Latin America.
We were also very happy with the exchange rate. We looked last month and it is much better for us. We had heard things were very expensive here now but not finding that to be the case or at least we were expecting much higher prices.
We lived in Argentina from 2000-2005 and loved living here. We recently came back a few days ago and we see the city better than ever. We lived there during the corralito and devastating crash. We came expecting things to be dire but the city is beautiful and crime seems to be at bay.
We see...
I just saw that they are going to freeze rates this month instead of going up. It sounds like they already went up but this probably is a relief to many!
I am not sure if someone already posted this link but it was very educational to learn about CEPO and what Milei is trying to do. It sounds like once locals can buy as many dollars as they want the exchange rate will be favorable again for expats with dollars. :)...
I think you are wise not to want to break any laws. But I have found that many people want their cake and eat it too. I have die hard friends that are anti-immigration in the USA but then they try to live in Argentina without getting residency. I tell them you can't have it both ways. Somehow...
Yes that is a notion that my husband and I also follow. Truth somewhere in the middle. We have never seen an Argentine president so in the news. Here in the US we see a lot of press about Milei and the mostly good work he is doing. And some in large prominent publications.
This was in today's...
It is very difficult for those of us that aren't on the ground there in Argentina. News is all over the place. I read articles like this below that say people that voted for him in November regret it. But then I talk to some friends we know there that voted for Milei and they say he is doing a...
We also lived in Recoleta from 2000-2005 and it is remarkable to think about but in the first few years I don't even recall seeing any black people. But then again I read about many Chinese grocery stores and back then they didn't have many Asians at all or the markets that you read about...
