Yes that always seems to be a common theme on these expat forums. I agree with you @Scottishgaucho. Most seem to have it only be about money and wanting to live as cheap as possible. Even those that want to live here forever seldom plan well making it impossible for them to get off the cycle of...

It's awesome to see all the support from President Milei to Venezuela. Sometimes you forget just how many there are in Buenos Aires. Great to see this. CRAZY that CFK is still sticking behind Maduro. Kircherismo is dying and her inability to read the room is going to speed it up.

I honestly don't know what to believe. Seems like proof that it really is a female. What a terrible thing for everyone to call her a man. But you have other people in the boxing world still insisting she is a man. Hard to trust anyone these days...

Prices keep falling. Pepsi for only 500 pesos!

Yes any misery the country is facing is from previous presidents.

On a positive note @CraigM if someone tries to steal your bike there are locals that will gladly beat them up if they see them trying to steal the bike.

Yep. My friend who owns a business told me that if people paid all the taxes that they were supposed to in Argentina it would exceed 100%.

My friend just bought a property in BA. He was amazed how the realtor doesn't really do much and still gets paid 4%. Drove him nuts paying so much but there was no way around it. There are almost no listings for sale by owner. All in with various fees and taxes he paid over 12% in various taxes...

I read your other post @BikeEnthusiast about drinking and having a bad cold. It sounds like maybe you are going through a bout of depression. You should utilize resources in BA. Many good therapists there.

I miss those simpler times. Not looking forward to World War III which seems like it's inevitable. :(

These prices are all still very reasonable. A friend was in the USA on vacation and got hit and run and the driver fled. They had to go in an ambulance and go to the hospital. They got the shock of their life that the bill was tens of thousands of dollars. They had no medical coverage. I don't...

Lots of people got robbed too by these people rushing the stadium. https://tn.com.ar/show/television/2024/07/15/majo-martino-conto-el-terrible-robo-que-sufrio-antes-de-la-final-de-la-copa-america/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

The US definitely isn't ready to host the World Cup.

There were a lot of suspicious things going on there. The sniper saw the gunman a full minute or two before shooting him. Listen to all these witnesses and you might think the government is in on it.

Correct!

This guy doesn't look seem like the sharpest tool in the shed. Not sure what he is talking about working for the government and being a parasite. Some of the best jobs now are for the city, or State or County or federal government. Looks like an ex-cop that probably lost his job or something. I...

Argentines can be very direct and to the point. Not necessarily rude but not as gentile as other Latin American countries. It took some getting used to. They have a way of joking with one another. Even people I just met at an Asado that I got invited by another friend. They would joke very...
