My girlfriend said NO locals report crimes at all. So I assume the only ones really reporting crime are tourists maybe for insurance.

Yes, this is common. My novia said she has gotten her phone stolen on the subway before. Even being really careful sometimes people let their guard down. It was interesting as I asked her if she reported it to the police and she laughed. She said no one does so the crime statistics aren't...

I wish I knew about her while there but I will contact her on my next trip!

I agree! Empanadas were the best comfort food I had there. It was nuts but I had one almost every day! I never got tired of them. La Cocina - Recoleta Google Maps https://maps.app.goo.gl/jNuezQYoLiVAuv6c8 TripAdvisor...

I absolutely loved this place! I sent some photos to my mother to make her thing I am so cultural! It worked!

LOVE this thread! Like the helpful one click format for location and reviews. More work to look up for poster but should help members for years and years as long as they don't go out of business. I would recommend to @BuySellBA to delete as places go out of business. I was VERY frustrated...

Thanks brother! I just left last night. I wanted to stay another week but I had to get back to get my townhouse ready for selling it. I didn't expect to sell it so quickly. My realtor friend did a pocket listing and sold it in 3 days! I guess proof positive you don't really need realtors...

You seem to be a "glory days" type of guy. Always talking about the glory days and complaining about every thing now. Hell, I've never read about an expat that didn't find happy things with the prices now. Sure, things are going up but things are pretty darn cheap now in many things compared...

I'm using these forums and they are horrible!!!

I went the other day. It's much bigger than I thought. Thanks @Cariba for posting about it. I'm not sure how I feel @RN in BA about you sneaking in for free illegally with your friend's ID. Argentina is struggling and the entrance fee isn't that much. You should probably just pay the few...

Well to be fair, the Pope and the Catholic church in general are kind of imbeciles with the many scandals over the past many decades.

You're totally confused. I was too my first few weeks. There are so many exchange rates. Go here:https://www.dolarito.ar/ Then click on the little grey circle with the question mark and it will explain it. Dolar tarjeta says: El precio del dólar tarjeta corresponde al del dólar oficial...

There are a lot of clueless posters on the old forum. This guy Wade K. is totally confused. That's the problem with that forum. People speak like they know what they are talking about and then get schooled. Ha. It's funny. He is speaking like he is an expert on the "official rate" when he...

^^THIS ^^ I think there is no hard and fast rule but you can't assume because you were able to find a good deal (who knows how long ago) that it's the case now. I'd assume @Bill probably hasn't been looking recently. Odds are when his lease ends, Bill is NOT going to get the same deal as...

I do the same thing @StatusNomadicus but recently stopped ignoring people just so I can read their stupidity. Sometimes it's funny. I think some people have a lot of anger here. I don't fault them with the really crappy economy. I think we should give them a break. I met up with some local...

What the hell do you expect that Massa would have done differently than all his predecessors? He was their puppet! I don't claim to be any expert on Argentina but I've been reading all that I can now that I will invest here and buy a property. I've been here long enough to know this is a great...

I thought the same thing @FuturoBA! It sounds like the other way you have to do things twice? I'm debating if it makes sense to get a DNI but there are tax consequences under the current set up. I LOVE @BuySellBA idea for Golden Visa Passport! That sounds well through out and genius! I...

Ha! I don't dare post on the other forum with the same screen name. It sounds like there are legitimate fears of long-time posters there of getting banned so they don't want to use the same name. I saw that email that @Cariba posted that @earlyretirement said was 100% not edited. I have NO...

But why spend $50,000? It sounds like it's super simple here to get a DNI. I'm speaking to people that say LOTS of Russians and Chinese are getting citizenship here. You can hire that guy with the bad website for $7,000. I just don't think you need to spend $50k to get fast track. Sure if...

@earlyretirement is there any way to see ALL your posts at the old forum? Wow, I just found out about this saga recently. I didn't know what the old forum meant. Now I do! I signed up but I clicked on your name there to easily read all your reports but Igor must have blocked the link so no...
