    Newcomer News in Argentina.

    The bubble is a great website ? I find it very left wing with a emphasis on promoting controversial subjects for controversy sake . Real good journalism in Argentina is rare and independent journalism even rarer .

    Real Estate News ABL in CABA will rise an average of 34% in 2019

    People like to compare Buenos Aires to other cities as this justifies their arguments that it is cheap. It may be cheap for you with strong foreign currencies but for the pensioner who is lucky to get 200 dollars a month how can you justify building expenses and services close to 400 dollars a...

    Newcomer New Zealander looking for work .

    To move here now for work is pure madness. I remember a australian teacher a few months ago rubbing his hands in glee for his generous salary of 55000 pesos per month now worth US 1370 a pittance. Last year this was worth US $3000. Next year maybe US 800. I suggest to you to come here for a...

    Newcomer Is Romance dead in Buenos Aires?

    Romance is not a monetary thing as young people never had much money ever. Its a cultural phenonomen that has changed dramatically with the rise of the me too movement ni una menos etc etc. The youth of Argentina are not forming relationships I see this clearly with my own eyes. Yes they hook up...

    Newcomer Is Romance dead in Buenos Aires?

    Anorexia was commonly seen in the streets back then and obesity was rarely seen. Nowadays I have not seen a anorexic person in three years and most people are overweight and many obese. Argentina has the fattest people of Latin America nowadays

    Newcomer Is Romance dead in Buenos Aires?

    The biggest myth is that Argentina is a macho society. Women have tremendous power at the home and business worlds and the mother is particularly revered here. Argentina was also the first country to have a female president and subsequent female presidents. The USA and Australia are more...

    Newcomer Is Romance dead in Buenos Aires?

    I have been in Argentina since 2004 and have noticed huge social changes in just 14 years . When I came I noticed it was a very romantic city with passionate couples kissing openly on the streets and park benches . This was a very common sight . Now in 2018 there seems to be very little romance...

    Newcomer Who buys up all these expensive properties?

    I certainly would not buy now as the market is on a slippery slope. Rent a property for a year and see what pans out if the economy improves (a miracle) then buy.

    Newcomer Who buys up all these expensive properties?

    To buy a property now is very risky and I would only consider very good deals . The best time of course was 2004 when prices in Palermo Soho were US$ 700 a metre or less . Now it seems inspite of a dollar at 40 pesos prices are US$ 3,000 per metre asking price. The market is unstainable and I...

    Newcomer Who buys up all these expensive properties?

    The demand for high-end properties has seen a significant decline of approximately 80 percent, primarily driven by investors retaining their dollars. Argentina boasts a comparatively petite yet exceedingly affluent class, surpassing even the wealth distribution seen in Europe and Australia. It's...

    Newcomer "Insecurity is just a perception"

    The biggest problem that Argentina has is building a society based on trust and one that respects others in a dignified manner . I have noticed the last years the falling down of respect between others and the glorification of immoral behaviours. This is common through the society if the role...
