Yes I have only been forced on this the past week. I have been here many years and never had to show my actual passport. I finally in one store showed my DNI as I had things on the counter. But I wrote in a fake DNI # when they asked. Lucky the people behind the counter are very lazy.

Wow I didn't hear about this in the news. 4 Americans dead in 1 month? 25 deaths this year by tourists? I read some of those. I heard about people using Tinder to scam or even kill tourists. My friend said her uncle had this happen in Brazil. I asked the details and they said her 68 year...

$7,000??? Holy crap. That is a lot. Does anyone know what others charge? Good for him. Supply and demand but wow that is one ugly website!! LOL. Yes, he posts on the old forum. He has helped a lot of Chinese people and it sounds like Russian too.

WOW. I didn't know this is why you started the new forum. I agree that the Admin of that forum is strange. I have suggested something and then it was strange as my posts got edited or deleted without notifying me. Does anyone know if Igor has other Admins who are doing this too? I would...

I went to this place all the way out in the boonies. The original one. That pasta with the cheese is quite the presentation. The food was very good.

I love this place!

I'm not too sure this can realistically happen. Ha. There are a LOT of cambios/cuevas that will be out of business if that is the case but I guess that's probably one of the goals. Did they say anything about MEP and credit card purchases by foreign credit cards? Though nice to pay bills at...

Hi querido Sergio, Argentina is very very very cheap with one HUGE exception and that is rents! Rents are continuing to go up quickly. All my friends that had good relationships with Airbnb hosts and didn't have trouble finding a place to rent are now SOL and having to sleep on friends...

I went to exchange money at the casa de cambio (cueva) earlier this week. They were buying US Dollars at 915 pesos to $1 USD and selling for 950 pesos to $1 USD which was different from what the rate was when I checked right before going. I use https://www.ambito.com/contenidos/dolar.html and...

I came here at 55 because I was basically unemployable in the United States. I couldn't find a job and no one wanted to hire a middle aged person. I was in danger of losing my home because I was late on my property taxes. Argentina has been very good for me. Not always good to me! But...

And this is yet another reason why all over the world the middle class is totally decimated. Totally destroyed.

Sellers can indefinitely hold onto properties since there are no mortgages in play. Most people own their property outright, leading to minimal expenses limited to utilities and taxes. In comparison, the overhead costs associated with a $300,000 apartment in this region are significantly lower...

It sounds like it takes two to tango. I wonder what she would say about you.

Certainly, that is indeed true. However, when the well-being and livelihoods of an entire nation and its 47 million people are in jeopardy, that is not the appropriate moment for learning on the job.

I read his book. It was a good read. It is good he is so bullish on Argentina.

Looks like I know where I'm going for my birthday!

Thank you for this post. I am in desperate need of a deep tissue massage. I will contact them.

I totally agree Cafe Tortoni is the biggest rip off and poor service. I'm not sure how this place is still making the list of places to go.

And two-time President of Argentina, Hipólito Yrigoyen said, "No temo tanto a los de afuera que nos quieren comprar, cómo a los de adentro que nos quieren vender" ...which translates as "I'm not so afraid of those on the outside who want to buy us, as I am of those on the inside who want to...
