Just for the record, I dont own any Crocket & Jones shoes. nor does my wife have any Prada anything. She did buy one Lopez purse however. I am actually thinking about coming back to Argentina. I still own a property there and the lease ends.

I formally lived in Buenos Aires and I rented out an apartment to a friend for many years. The lease is finally coming off the lease and I don't think I will renew it as I want to come back to Buenos Aires. I recently reconnected with an old amiga and want to visit her as well as some others I...

Oh, the magical creation of "international champions" – I'm all ears for that enchanting tale. Perhaps we could summon them with a sprinkle of fairy dust or a wave of a political wand. But, alas, reality beckons, and creating global juggernauts isn't as simple as a flick of the wrist. So, let's...

Well, we're in a bit of a comedy tango here, my friend! Let's break it down – Prada mocassins (that's fancy for loafers, y'all) are strutting their stuff at $680 US on sale at Nordstroms. Meanwhile, the Argentine counterparts are waltzing in at a cool third of that price. Cue the price-drop mic...

Ah, the perplexing world of pricing – where you can snag a pair of shoes in the US for anything from a humble $12 bucks to a wallet-walloping $1,200+. The real mystery here: which end of the spectrum are we talking about when we say "not price-competitive"? Now, let's debunk the myth that...

Oh, the sheer brilliance of Argentina's export strategy – or should I say, lack thereof? We can have a friendly disagreement on just how much "socialism" plays into the mix, but one thing we can surely agree on is that the Argentine government has mastered the art of encouraging exports... not...

No, you have it reverse. Ah, the delightful dance of economic intricacies in nations reliant on a solo product – usually some blingy diamonds or liquid gold, like oil. The result? Wealth concentration galore, often in the hands of the most cunning or those with the shiniest guns – the...

Oh, absolutely! With all these incentives and Ciudad del Este just a hop away, who in their right mind would cough up those wallet-draining prices in BsAs? Prices are totally going to do the limbo – how low can you go. Prices I would think have to come back down with these DNU's from Milei...

I can't wait to see what other 160 absurd laws and regulations he is changing. The other ones were Crazy! He is working fast.

Give that man a star. Yes, you took the meaning of what I meant. Ha. VERY expensive.

Is this list for men or women? Tango class? All of these things sound like it could be for a woman too. Ha.

You had me until you said no happy ending. :(

Ain't no way Argentines are going to declare their crypto. The market and percentage of people using crypto in Argentina is actually going down not up.

Which was your favorite? I remember many years going with my novia. My Novia is MUCH younger than I am. We went very late and they didn't even open yet! I told her I would give her a hallpass and took a taxi home. Ha. I can't remember if she used the hallpass or not but she didn't show up...

Thanks @Cariba! I am planning to return to Argentina after many years absence. I haven't been there since COVID lock down. Will check it out.

Yep I watched this. It's funny. Good series.

Argentina possesses less than 1% of the proven oil reserves held by either Saudi Arabia or Venezuela. The untapped oil resources in Argentina are predominantly situated in shale formations, necessitating a distinct and more intricate extraction process compared to conventional reservoirs.

I'm not sure what you're smoking! Your wishful thinking seems like some alternate universe. Everyone I talk to said prices are more expensive. Don Julio now has $125 USD steaks. Interesting discussion on the fire/environmental thingy. My take? In essence, the prevailing fire law stipulates...

LOL! I take it you live in one of those super fancy homes in a gated community. :) OK, now when I watch El Reino I will think of you @GlasgowJohn in the gated community. I actually live in a gated community too so I won't chastize you too much.

Check out Okupas and more realistic vs. the fake gated communities and scenes that most people don't relate to. It's on Netflix below. I like seeing the real-life Porteño lives. The many dog walkers, kids playing soccer with their friends, people out at all hours of the night like real life...
