    Are there many Haitians in Chile?

    They kept charging drinks at $12 each until the balance was maxed and couldnt buy anymore. When I called the bank they just flagged them all and I had the money refunded to my account in less than a week. Only problem was they cancelled my comprised card and it took me forever to get the...

    Poverty has no limit in Argentina

    The thing that is so unbelievable is the people taking the subte to work every day are the exact demographic that love Milei and desperate for change and he's deliberately making their lives harder and stabbing them in the back just why ? ? ?

    Milei orders military parades for Independence Day celebrations - I thought No Hay Plata!

    The thing that annoys me about Bullrich is the constant bragging about the latest 20kg or whatever drug bust. And while the back slapping press conference is taking place the drug gangs have already produced and sold another 200kg. Everyone knows by this point there these tiny little drug...

    Legal Any risk to constantly overstaying on tourist visa? How many times can you do border runs in Argentina?

    One way tickets have always been a no no. I was denied boarding 25 years ago because of a one way ticket. Nothing has changed and this means nothing. They are not getting more strict. Life continues identically.

    Education This is how students study at UBA

    And? They mostly all have chairs and seats, the environment is incredibly chaotic and with more organisaztion would easily accommodate everyone. It smacks of anti Milei propaganda and copying the USA where trans rights make up 85 % of all college courses and whatever subject you are actually...
