I can see both sides but I think @GlasgowJohn made a great point about the awards. They sound like they are partisan awards and there is an agenda. They are using Javier Milei to get exposure and PR for their side. I guess he has to be careful about too many of these events. Especially when...

It looks like a great neighborhood. My friend said a lot of families live there. But I heard for a typical tourist coming down it's too far out from many things. What do you recommend? Is it too far out if most of the things I will go to are in Palermo? It seems a bit far outside with traffic...

This is great news! I see the blue dollar is at 1,300 to $1 USD which is great news! My friend there said there is talk it will keep going up which is great for my trip. I hope once I get there things will be much cheaper and inflation will have stopped going up so much.

Hello everyone in BA. How is the mosquito situation there with the colder weather? Are the little buggers all dead? I read this article today and was thinking of all of you. Hope they are all dead...

:ROFLMAO: Yes I know it's not as bad as it sounds. My friend has been down there for months and has survived. Although you can admit @Sunny reading all of this is a bit comical. But I know what you mean when it's not that bad. My friend said she has noticed a pick up in crime. Many of her local...

Yikes! Isn't that neighborhood just north of Palermo Hollywood? Colegiales isn't a bad neighborhood is it? If they are breaking car windows while you are driving I would have to believe they would just rob you in the street if I have an iPhone? This is surprising to hear as I heard it's safe...

Thanks! But wasn't yesterday just a holiday in Argentina too? My friend said it was a federal holiday yesterday. You have 3 holidays in one week?? It seems like you have a lot of holidays there. Every few weeks my friend tells me it's a holiday there!

Are there a lot of digital nomads in Buenos Aires these days? Last year I read more articles about it but I don't read so much about it. My friends told me they see lots of expats there but I don't read too much about it now.

What exactly do Diputado do there?

I haven't been to BA yet so I have no personal experiences but my friends are there now and I'm making a list of all the places I want to visit. Purses - https://www.shopblit.com/ Assorted - https://www.prune.com.ar/ (My friend said there is an outlet store in Villa Crespo) Boots - (My friend...

Yes! I don't get this. @Blockchain I haven't been to BA yet. I had to delay my first trip because of the mosquito infestation there and the Dengue plague that was going on earlier this year. I changed my trip to October. I read a few of your posts. What are your favorite things that you have...

What I don't get is them destroying things like benches and things. Destroying your own city seems nuts. But I guess @Sunny you are saying these people are from outside of Buenos Aires so maybe they don't care.

To be fair many of the people complaining they are hungry In the USA are overweight! Look at some of these people that claim it and they are eating McDonalds or junk food everyday.

My friend from El Salvador lives in Chicago now. She still has family there. She said before Bukele you couldn't leave your house. Now it's one of the safest cities in Latin America. But I heard Argentina is very safe. I assume it's only these border towns which are sketchy?

But is everything a done deal? Now he doesn't have any more negotiations? Was that the start or is he done and it's a done deal? For example when I read some news about it, it makes it sound like things still have to be ratified or negotiated...

Thank you. My friend there told me it's fairly easy to rebuy tickets for concerts a few days before so I'll check into that.

My friend said that there were a lot of pot banging in the streets after the vote. She asked and the locals told her that this is common when protesting. Seems like a weird way to protest. Does anyone know the origins of how they started to bang on pots and pans? @Sunny did they do this when...

It is crazy how many people use cash there. My friends there said that many locals don't like to use credit cards for anything! I can't imagine. I haven't used cash for months. I haven't had to use an ATM machine I think in the USA in almost a year. When I travel yes to withdraw currency but...

How much did they offer them for? I have no idea if his voice is still good. I saw some footage of Madonna on tour and it was pretty gross. She is very old and was kissing some other older woman. How can she think people want to see that? I'm sure this concert will be much tamer. :P

It looks like it's still going on. Why dont' the police just go in and arrest them? What are they scared of?
