Let us know how your trip goes and what you think of BA. Nothing like an Argentine soccer match. That sounds a bit on the pricey side. But when I went to a game I spent about $150 USD. They aren't cheap. Which match you going to?

Beware that 400 different bus lines are on strike since midnight. Bus drivers are on strike throughout the Buenos Aires metropolitan area. I'm not sure how you now which lines are affected. Not all lines are affected. There are about 60 that are still operating I saw on the news but just keep...

The societal issue in Argentina is a complex interplay that, for decades, has been misrepresented by politics, often reduced to a one-sided narrative with limited permissible discourse. Efforts to seek justice and acknowledgment from the state for crimes committed by terrorist organizations, as...

Wow, great story.

Saw this in the news today. It about to get ugly. https://www.batimes.com.ar/news/argentina/milei-squeezes-governors-eliminates-transport-subsidies-to-inland-provinces.phtml

Some great scenery. I wonder if they bring their own drone. The footage is beautiful. This is the Buenos Aires we all know and love. I don't think it is a bad thing that more tourism results from this.

No they are not. Milei supporters can try to argue but when all of this blows up, people will blame him. Both sides throwing hand grenades at one another. And it is the lower class that will suffer. I don't see a way that people don't force him out of office before his term officially ends...

Ah, the mystical land of Argentina, where window screens and bathroom sink overflows are as rare as a unicorn riding a skateboard. Asking why is like trying to explain the plot of a soap opera to a cat – it's futile. Can we unravel the mysteries of Argentina's quirks? Nope, not a chance. It's...

Oh, the sheer brilliance of Bolsonaro's strategic selfie game! I mean, who needs COVID-19 protocols when you can snap a pic with a sea of supporters? It's like playing pandemic roulette – except instead of a ball, you're using a selfie stick, and the outcome is a potential health crisis. In...

So, like, what are the real deal policies or changes she or her crew are putting forward on this topic? Honestly, I'm not too bothered about what someone thinks personally (or their kinda weird way of saying things), as long as they don't try to push it on me (or anyone else) and it doesn't...

I'm not an expert, but it seems to me that if Argentina becomes super pricey in US dollars and salaries stay low, we might see some serious social unrest. On the flip side, if salaries go up, it might not be so appealing for investors. Plus, with governments doing a 180 degree turn on rules...

Sorry to break the news but I just got an email that OSDE is also going up 39.6% and that will be due in mid-February! So they are just 1 month cycle behind. So that will go up in February 2024. You knew it was too good to be true.

Your take totally comes through from the four links you dropped. Two from Clarin, like the flagship of Empiro Clarin, all gung-ho for Macrista mentimedia. One from La Nación, basically the most old-school and conservative newspaper in the whole country. And then there's Infobae, chilling in...

Read every line of the DNU decrees with a fine tooth comb. Look at the parts about fire restoration and mining. The stripped out all the environmental protection regulations.

Actually Argentina has a TON of oil and gas too and other natural resources. Sure, I agree we should give the guy a chance. But we gotta call a spade a spade and I think he is making bone head moves. Is he good for Argentina? Or would Massa do better? Maybe. But our inflation is higher than...

Stay home! Restaurant/cafe workers are very hard workers. They have a tough enough job than dealing with jerks like you. You can't afford to pay a 10% then don't go out to eat. It's that simple. Respect the policies in the countries you are traveling in. Enough said.

I will go anywhere from 10% up to 20% if the service was over the top good. Also, the latter at places where I am a regular customer and I get the same person each time. I feel I have a personal relationship with this person when I go to the same place for years.

I give mine about 15,000 pesos or about $20 US as well as a box of chocolates. I wish I could give more but times are tough.

I agree with you @Avocado! It is important to comprehend that Milei functions as a mere figurehead, a surrogate carrying out the bidding of others. So, back when Macri was just starting out, Macri's first move as president was handing over everything the vulture funds wanted. Like, no...

I agree the 3 years with only raising the value was NOT smart but I worry about the everyday tenant. I don't agree too much with government interference but I think that the government should at least set reasonable terms. A free for all situation where owners can set whatever terms they want...
