    Economy Dollarization of Argentina 101 - Can we agree on what it means and how it would be accomplished?

    OK I think I got it! In this simplified world, Argentina has decided to use regular US dollar bills of all denominations for everyday transactions. No more dealing with special "cara grande" brand new untorn and unstained $100 USD bills, just regular money like you'd use anywhere. It's like...

    Medical Dental implant in CABA

    Wow! Did the dentist put on the protective vest for the radiation? I've never had an X-ray from a dental office that I didn't have to put on the radiation vest. I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry when the dentist left to be away from the radiation and left you there with your finger in...

    Newcomer What are some Top Bilingual English and Spanish language schools in Buenos Aires for my children?

    Oh dear. I really hope not. I just asked my husband based on what you mentioned about safety and he laughed and said that Milei "was crazy" and he said it will take someone crazy to fix Argentina's woes. I hope he meant crazy in a good way! I pray that crime doesn't increase. My husband...
