I didn't have any problems in Palermo but beware on Florida Street. I just posted this in another post. Avoid Florida street cuevas! I just left BA but a buddy of mine just got robbed leaving a cueva on Florida street. He exchanged $300 dollars and about a block away from there someone stole...

Avoid Florida street cuevas! I just left BA but a buddy of mine just got robbed leaving a cueva on Florida street. He exchanged $300 dollars and about a block away from there someone stole his iPhone and also took the pesos he exchanged. Avoid avoid. I didn't have any problems using places in...

Did you see this @enbits? A guy on Twitter asked Milei to raise it and a few days later Milei did. Amazing!

Actually according to the latest statistics, the poverty rate is falling. https://derechadiario.com.ar/argentina/cae-la-inflacion-y-disminuye-la-pobreza-luego-del-massazo-milei-logro-reducir-la-pobreza-de-un-574-a-un-485

Thank you for the update. I tried that company but the apartments were lower-end and not furnished well. The good thing about Airbnb is you get a chance to try it out and see how the noise/location/building is. You don't have that option on most long-term rentals. I met an American that rented...

It is quite amazing to see how quickly Milei has turned things around with such a small number in his political party.

Thanks Vince. I will check it out. Not all places had those sandwiches. Most places i went had a Milanesa but not in a sandwich. La Rambla in Recoleta also had a great Lomito sandwich!

It looks like even with the government trying to manipulate exchange rate, it hasn't really changed too much at all from the low.

@luca came across your post. Who did you end up using? Can you recommend any companies? Or did you use a realtor?

It looks like Aerolineas Argentina is making plans for the deregulation. https://www.lanacion.com.ar/economia/negocios/cielos-abiertos-el-plan-de-aeropuertos-argentina-para-convertirse-en-un-jugador-global-nid20072024/

This seems like a really dysfunctional relationship. I don't understand why they gave out billions to Massa to finance things and spending was out of control. Milei actually is making progress and they won't give more funds. Seems like the IMF prefers Peronists. Now I understand why most...

Yikes! I read that case where Argentina got an old yacht seized a few years ago. I'm not sure of the distinction of Argentina vs. Central Bank. It all seems to Argentina to me. That would be quite a blunder if Argentina's gold gets seized. I'd think they would want to keep all this gold inside...

So this website has a ton of people. Just note that some say "Professional" but that doesn't mean anything. The ones with licenses say matriculada. The photos aren't always them so you can ask them via Whatsapp. All of them just use Whatsapp and their numbers are on the page. Some do...

I didn't go there as I tried but they were always busy. It's a popular place. There are a ton of websites for massages in Buenos Aires. Just keep in mind that many of them aren't professional massages and more the "happy ending" sort of massages. You might want to read this article first. So...

I wouldn't say racist. They do group people into racial groups which some may find offensive. Chino = Any Asian Negro = Any black person (although I heard locals calling other locals negros even if they weren't black but a bit darker) Yanqui = Caucasion Turco = Any Middle Eastern Gordo = Fat...

It is good to hear about these experiences outside of touristy areas. I met a few people who worked in restaurants or bars and I was surprised how many commute in from outside of the city. I met several who lived in Quilmes which is a hike outside of the city. I didn't see much crime at all but...

I went to the mall and I didn't see anyone buying anything several times when I went. I didn't know if it was just the recession or not. I did notice restaurants full with locals too. I guess they would rather eat than buy stuff. Bars were also packed and lots of locals. How do these stores...

I saw this interview with Biden. How can Americans vote for this guy? When asked about the Trump assassination he can't even keep his focus to remember what lines he was supposed to answer.

It seems like the only thing certain in this country is that things will always be uncertain. I've never seen a country where the exchange rate fluctuates so quickly. That is a clear sign that things are broken here.

To be fair those Argentine players were kind of dumb to sing that song and record it. Not sure why people tape themselves doing stupid things.
