    Economy What will the cost of living increases be for August 2024 (Utilities, transportation, rent, etc) ?

    I have a local friend who signed up a month ago, and it has worked for her. Apparently, she qualified for the subsidy based on her income and standard of living. She used to pay 83 USD, but her latest bill was just 24 USD, so she was happy. It was a relief for her...

    Newcomer How to Obtain a Driver’s License in Argentina with a Japanese Permit

    Getting a license here is similar to anywhere else. You need to go to the DMV and pass the necessary tests. Plus, since the drivers here aren’t known for being great, I’m sure it’s not too difficult to get through the process.

    Argentina in the Copa America - Will they go all the way to Champions again?

    The Argentina-Ecuador match last night was incredible and thrilling! Dibu Martinez's performance was amazing! Did anyone else suffer like I did, or are expats not really into football? I have local friends, and thanks to them, I'm truly experiencing the passion Argentinians have for football...

    Politics Roadblocks in the Fight Against Human Trafficking: The Rejection of a Crucial Article

    One of the most famous and high-profile lawyers in Argentina, Dr. Burlando, has focused on the hypothesis of satanic rituals. It’s surprising that after so many days, there are still so many theories; it’s unfortunate that we still don’t know for sure what happened.

    Yes, according to Missing Children, there are currently over 100 missing children, and every day there are at least 4 reports of lost children.

    And to think they blame her for not intervening, just because they don't see her making public statements. However, as she wisely points out, in cases like this, it's important to exercise caution with information. Often, behind-the-scenes actions and discreet management can be just as...

    Dating in Buenos Aires as a foreigner

    Always try to make your "chamuyo" good enough for HER to give you her insta. Most girls will give you their insta when they're not interested just to check if you're a good call or not, so you have to make a good impression first to get a second date (nice guy approach) or score some kisses or...

    Economy Argentina isn't the affordable option

    Unfortunately, the younger generation seems to lack wisdom. They often only grasp life's lessons through difficult experiences. If Milei were to emerge victorious, it could serve as a learning experience for them, dissuading future votes for similar charismatic figures. It's a tough lesson they...

    Economy Argentina isn't the affordable option

    The prospect appears wishful because, even if Milei were to secure the presidency, he wouldn't have unchecked authority. Gaining the necessary support for such a move seems unlikely.
