    Apartment Rental Finding a great 3 month rental apartment

    I agree ZonaProp is a bad platform. I was interested in buying and sent an email and I didn't hear back for 4 days. Then I took pause when I saw the same exact apartment and both claimed to be the realtor on it. Worse yet, they had 2 different prices! I wish Buenos Aires had something like...

Additionally, the government provides free Home...

    Is the Expat party in Buenos Aires coming to an end?

    Strictly from an economic and financial perspective, the contrast in what $3,000 USD can buy in Argentina versus the US is undeniable. Although certain items like clothing and electronics might be relatively pricey by international standards in Argentina, the majority of other essentials—such as...

    Western Union

    Wow, the lines at the Western Union offices are really long. I've never seen anything like this. I've seen long lines but not this long. Maybe it's because it's a holiday weekend? The MEP rate today when I was looking at it was around 920 to 933 to $1 USD (https://www.dolarito.ar) and the...
