Definitely the vibe and scene is turning in Medellin against gringos. I have a few novias in Medellin that I have known for a long time. I was walking around in the mall the other day and I have never gotten so many dirty looks. This was never the case before. Or at least not like this. If...

Are you crazy??!! Don't do this. You are just asking for trouble. Trust me on this. I have gone through this a few times.

I have not only cut back on trips but also cut back on going out to eat at restaurants. I used to always dine out a few times a week and now I mostly just cook at home. Most of my local friends have been getting raises at work. I'm not clear if this is mandatory or not but one as much as 25%...

Hi forum! My mom is moving in with us soon, and she's turning 69 soon. I need recommendations for a good health insurance plan. Currently, she is spending about $400 a month in the USA, and we want to cancel those policies and use the money here. Ideally, we're looking for a comprehensive plan...

For Argentina standards that doesn't seem too bad. 19% per year inflation? You can get a much better steak for MUCH less at other places. You would be better served not to use a tourist trap restaurant where prices are elevated for tourist sheep. @Larry has come up with a new conspiracy theory...

My little sis lives in Toronto and she is desperate to leave. She has a job where they depend on her and she has given them notice. But they keep offering her more money to stay. She mentioned the same thing that you mentioned about finding syringes all over the place! I thought she was...

Do NOT do this. You're making the wrong decision. You don't even know if the kid is really yours. Did you go to the doctor with her to verify if it's the truth?

Funny about the holding your own suction! This sounds like my last experience at the dentist! Never again! I go to Mexico now for dental work. Far closer to the USA quality at fraction of the costs.

Ignore the haters. Go for it! You have nothing to lose. I've fallen in love many times. Although keep in mind I have been divorced 4 times! No joke. Each one was fun and I wouldn't have changed a thing! Go for it!

Merry Christmas to all. I guess I'm cheap. I only give mine around $25 bucks. This year I gave 25,000 pesos.

Hey congrats on the marriage! Way to fool him! Hopefully it lasts a long time. Mine sure didn't! This must be new about the interviewing of questions. I have been married 4 times. 3 of those were with locals. I didn't have to do any interview. We just submitted all our paperwork to in...

Thanks for posting the receipts. Expats like to bitch and complain all the time. It's still very cheap here compared to back home. My buddy came and visited me. Felt sorry that I'm on divorce #4. The first morning we went to my local corner bakery and he ordered a cappuccino and a medialuna...

This country has been on a downward death spiral since Peron took over. https://www.bowtiedmara.io/p/argentinas-century-long-decline?utm_source=%2Fsearch%2Fperon&utm_medium=reader2 Lots of people are going to actually work for a living now. Milei is getting rid of a lot of fake employees and...

He won't sell it. I already asked him and he said not interested. It might be going for $160,000 or so now. I'm no real estate expert though so keep that in mind. I recently read about a new construction apartment that is 1 bedroom with a good view and I believe the asking price is around...

Unless it's a 3-bedroom apartment in a newer high-end modern building that price seems exorbitant. I've consistently found attractive 1 or 2-bedroom apartments, many of which are aesthetically pleasing, for under $1,000 per month. My current residence, a nicely renovated, furnished 1-bedroom on...

I never thought I'd live to see the day of this!

Having resided in this country for an extended period, my optimism has waned. The Kirchner's and their pals resemble more of a mafia than a political party, populated by individuals who exploit the vulnerable for their personal political gains. Recalling the fervent cries of "Si Se Puede" and...

GET OUT NOW. Find a house rental that takes dogs. Most will take a dog with a higher security deposit. Maybe try going further out of the Capital. I'm in a month to month with a dog. I had a similar situation. I'm only paying $600 a month but it's not pretty. I have been divorced 4...

First of all, I'm sorry to hear about this. How long did you know her before you got married? Did she all of a sudden just change? Anything change in the relationship? You should be careful in this situation. If you don't have any assets in Argentina why not just leave? Where do you live...

There's a recurring comparison in the States, labeling Milei as the Argentine Trump. Interestingly, the Netherlands recently elected a Dutch equivalent of Trump. Trump, upon assuming office, confronted the reality that Mexico wouldn't be funding the wall. Nevertheless, he did spur economic...
