Ask the place that sent it who they left it with. The times I have gotten packages they will not leave it with anyone without showing some DNI #. Unless maybe it was not valuable at all but they usually make a record of who they left with. In the US when I was at my sister's house they even took...

Agree the peso is way way overvalued but also Argentina has crazy import taxes that need to be eliminated.

Truthful post! All the Milei supporters that whine about Cristina ironically were much better off with the looting she did. Everyone is suffering now!

If the police started giving tickets for breaking Law 451 1.3.12, the poop issue could be fixed in a few months by charging fines. It would make a big change that everyone could see. Even though the law was made a long time ago, it's never really enforced. If someone gets caught and has to pay...

I recommend reading about the runaway slave law in New York in 1850. You'll see why some people think it's unfair because it allows a woman's statement to be enough for conviction, without any evidence, if she reports it and confirms it in court. I got accused of punching a woman who didn't...

So, with Macri, they hit us with the frozen exchange rate, and voila, we got ourselves some inflation in good old USD. Like, who knew freezing things could make them inflate? It's probably the same old story now. Classic Argentina, right?

Oh, just a quick tidbit for you – there's the CIE exams by the University of Cambridge, accepted for international university admissions. My sister's little ones had a stint at St Hildas in Hurlingham, a bilingual school, and she wasrather chuffed with the teaching, especially in the pre-K...

Not sure if you've been living under a rock @Larry but you should google Vaca Muerta! https://www.argentina.gob.ar/economia/energia/vaca-muerta https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaca_Muerta

Watch and see. These new best friends will work out a deal that helps the wealthy Musk and his various companies but does very little for Argentines or Argentina. Maybe very cheap lithium extraction for Tesla and Musk? With very few benefits for Argentina. I doubt many jobs would be created...

I give mine 35,000 pesos this year.

The crux of the matter lies in the agreement of parties to a contract or transaction denominated in dollars. In such instances, the obligation to fulfill the contractual obligation resides in dollars rather than the local currency. To illustrate, in the event of a dispute arising from a contract...

The minimum salary can be seen here below. https://www.argentina.gob.ar/noticias/capital-social-se-actualizo-el-monto-del-salario-minimo-vital-y-movil#:~:text=Seg%C3%BAn%20la%20%C3%BAltima%20actualizaci%C3%B3n%2C%20el,capital%20social%20de%20tu%20entidad. For this month it is 156,000 pesos...

It used to be rare that they would reject you but now with technology and software it's easier for them to see how long you have been staying here. It formally was immigration officer discretion but now there is a formula and they are required to report it if it shows you have been overstaying...

Thank you for your service!

I have been a member of the old forum for many, many years. It is a good forum with a lot of people. I like the format of this forum better but the other one has far more users. I also agree it's not good to selectively edit posts. That has happened to me too there. There are 2 sides to...
