    Milei orders military parades for Independence Day celebrations - I thought No Hay Plata!

    But I'm confused. It looks like they had things contained with the pepper spray. Looks like that pepper spray didn't work after all. :ROFLMAO:

    Newcomer Moving to BA and Essential Apps to use

    What a great list! Downloading all of them now. Is cellphone service strong all over the city? I use TMobile in the US and have free coverage outside of the USA and Argentina is one of the countries. Does anyone have experience with this? Will I need to get a local # or will service be fine...

    Milei orders military parades for Independence Day celebrations - I thought No Hay Plata!

    All really great points on this thread. In the USA we respect military vets and their service. But I have to say, people are getting tired of financing wars outside of the USA and funding conflicts that might drag us in further. I don't know anything about Argentina's military so can't speak...

    Newcomer Argentine Citizenship for parents by giving birth to child inside Argentina - Legal advice needed?

    Thanks @Sunny for that really nice DM. I was going to post and ask people here for their opinion on what you mentioned. I get your point about Soho and Hollywood but my friends say as long as you're just aware. They have been near Villa Crespo and haven't had issues although they say Hollywood...

    Argentina’s small and medium-sized businesses brace for total devastation

    It sounds like his popularity ratings are going down. It was higher a few months ago. I just read the other thread where majority of people think he cares more about his image internationally than his problems at home. Recipe for disaster if this keeps up.

    Love Advice - Fell in love with an escort in Buenos Aires - Is it real love?

    I don't know how I missed this thread! Just read all the posts! This is crazy! You are an attorney and should know better. If someone came to you asking for advice you would have definitely told them not to try this. I'm sorry it didn't work out but you should have known! I would love to know...

    How much money does it take to be in the upper 5% of wealth in Argentina?

    Wow! It doesn't take much to be in the upper class! So if I come down with six figure salary then I would automatically get to be in the upper class there. It isn't much for the USA but down there it sounds like I'd be a big shot. My accountant just told me if I am living in Argentina I can...

    Western Union

    It didn't work for me. I got that screen too saying the promo code was applied. But then when I check out it won't go through. I just tried testing sending to my friend in BA but didn't work.

    Paying to go to the bathroom in a portable tent on the street???

    OMG!!! My worst fears unlocked! I have a very very very sensitive nose and a fobia with poop. And here I was worrying about smelling dog poop and this guy looks like he is pouring buckets of poop and pee down the drain. That can't smell good! This is so unsanitary. How can this be legal...
