This is very true. Much of it isn't racism per se but there is still racism here whether they want to admit it or not. It might not be too direct but it exists. I have a lot of friends from Venezuela and there are tons of racism here. And most people aren't really ashamed of it. They will get...

Congrats for a good call. Are there many foreigners buying in Buenos Aires now like after the big crash in 2002?

In other words, none of you know what will happen. I see the Blue dollar holding steady today but the MEP continues to go down.

This looks like a fun restaurant to get a Milenesa shaped like a soccer player. https://buenosairesherald.com/sports/football/this-restaurant-makes-milanesas-shaped-like-argentina-footballers

For all the talk about mortgagees and all the interest, there are hardly any getting approved. I talked to my banker and he told me they had tons of applications in the tens of thousands but not many have gotten funds yet. It's a long painful process.

Yikes! I didn't see that. Hard to imagine many Argentines that would celebrate Messi getting hurt.

I don't expect things to get solved overnight. This will take years to sort itself out.

Definitely the younger generation all use Mercado Pago. I believe taxis now all accept payments from digital wallets too now.

What a game. Argentina pulled it off yet again. Yet another Copa victory!

I don't think most people are blaming Milei for all the problems Argentina is having. Of course not all the blame on him. Just not a good idea to fly around the world accepting awards and then claiming he is probably going to win the Nobel prize. Makes him look silly and stupid when the...

Do you have a friend that will allow you to get mail? I did that for a friend applying for their DNI. They just used my apartment. If you hire lawyer it much easier. 6 month for citizenship sound very quick!! I never heard of that. I heard rumor that some Russians are paying big bribes to some...

I just saw Time Out article on a little winter vacation get away. https://www.timeout.com/buenos-aires/getaways-winter-vacation-family-tigre-mar-del-plata-campanopolis

This is a wonderful place. My brother always comes here when he comes in town. Get the double cheeseburger. He told me the best he has had. Called the "Tachame la Doble".

My condo bill has gone up over 270% in the past year in pesos. Extremely tough.

It is good to see prices finally start to go up again after falling so many years. I wonder how high prices will go.

These were really popular during the pandemic but I haven't heard much about it the past few years. Sounds like things really slowed down.

Bad news. I read that new variants of COVID-19 are spreading worldwide again. :mad: https://en.mercopress.com/2024/07/08/new-variants-of-covid-19-spreading-rapidly-worldwide?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_content=main&utm_campaign=rss&ct=t(RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN)

So true @FuturoBA! I have local friends that pretend like they know what the dollar will do. Then I ask them why they didn't either sell or buy USD and they never respond. What I do is only buy enough pesos to last me 1-2 months. Here we never know what will happen. But it doesn't hurt to buy...

I don't know anyone in BA that giddy about this other than a few Jewish friends I know that obviously are supportive of it.

Don't worry @Digital Nomad. Even the experts don't understand all of this or know how things will end up. Doubt the IMF would ever let Argentina dollarize the economy. At least not any time soon.
