I knew this official government site but it uploaded very general and political activities! https://www.instagram.com/disfrutemosba/?hl=es Vivamos Buenos Aires it is a site with more hidden places of Buenos Aires that is useful for people who frequent visits to Argentina!!!! DisfrutemosBa It...

It would be nice to add tours in areas such as the countryside and get to know more about life in the area. I have a friend who some years when I travel to Argentina invites me to a town called Sanantonio Dareco where he has land and you do things totally different from the city. It is more...

That quote is unreal, run away from there, and if they pull your tooth they will give you a root canal? A root canal is not an emergency dental procedure fyi. Getting a tooth pulled at an emergency dental should no be over 150usd ( in reality less than 100usd )

It is a steal.... Visa as of today 1 USD = 573.552945 ARS ( MEP is at 664 ) and WU 588 ARS to 1 USD ( CCL is at 689 ) they are paying about 100 pesos less. I will not exchange at these rates, will rather visit the dark side....

Was commenting on this post with my husband,and he was saying that in his opinion it is not so much about politics but about mental illness not being addressed in the US in general,then due to California's perfect weather it just attracts people that would find it a lot harder to survive in...

SF was the first city I visited outside of Arg. It was a long tine ago ( 20 yrs ) and I fell in live with it. I wonder what happened there? RE prices were very high back then too. I wandered into some sketchy areas, never felt unsafe. The worst was going into some McDonalds by a park, it was...

no problem with that either, my DH brought his with no issues.

Ditto

The law states they must enroll you with your preexisting conditions at a differential price. What they do is different though. To enforce it you basically have to go the legal way and sue them...

HSBC Argentina is not linked to the foreign bank. It is a horrible and expensive bank ( horrible in all senses ) with very nice facilities. I sued them years ago and got them to pay. I would not recommend this bank to my worst enemy. I know a lot of expats open accounts there out of naivety...

It is not allowed to open an account in dollars only. I guess your friend will have to fund her account in pesos ( take some cash with her, and exchange at the bank ) or just ask the bank clerk about how to proceed.

Sorry to hear about the 20% it seems she talked to the wrong person! She should not pay more than 1% in fees. Banco Galicia is friendlier and once she has an account open in place ( tell her to open in pesos and dollars ), she can get in contact directly with their foreign commerce department...

Conspiracy? Give me a break!!! Calling a US toll free number and getting disconnected?? totally normal here. 15 years using US cc in BA never a problem.

It is illegal here.

I am sorry you don't like the tone. I am not a native English speaker so I am sure I miss things along the way. I always try to use neutral language. I have yet to hear any economist saying that they should not stop monetary emission, reduce deficit and control inflation, care to name a few? I...

Any decent economist knows that Macri should have reduced deficit, stop monetary emission and reduce inflation in order to sustain economic growth. This " amazing " plan that the IMF is now imposing in exchange of its loans, should have been implemented from day zero. Three years after...

I appreciate your reply. I am a well seasoned investor operating in different stock and real estate markets for over a decade, so I understand a thing or two. Macri was expected to clean out the economy, and that means zero deficit from day one. The president having the wrong information is...

You are totally missing my point. I do not blame the IMF for the crisis or think it is some kind of devil for ensuring that Argentina will pay them back. I am absolutely blaming Macri for going to them, etc.

The IMF plan is an orthodox recipe and nothing new. Macri should have gone for zero deficit, zero money printing and drastically reducing inflation on his first week in office. Three years later, with an economy that wasn't exactly booming, it is ridiculous. He has almost no chance of being...

what is your budget? in dollars or pesos? palermo is a pretty popular area. i think this board does a meet up in that area.
