    Police Report Procedure

    I may extend my trip and go down to Bariloche. I talked to earlyretirement on the phone yesterday for a real estate consultation. I'm getting serious about possibly buying something in Buenos Aires. I have fallen in love with this city. I honestly don't see any negatives at all about it...

    Newcomer Money Bulk how much space does it take up?

    I also suggest using a credit card. The exchange rates are currently fluctuating, and there have been instances where the MEP rate (https://www.ambito.com/contenidos/dolar.html) surpassed the cash blue dollar rate. Therefore, it's advisable to monitor the values daily, and I personally use an...

    Newcomer Money Bulk how much space does it take up?

    Just keep in mind the 2,000 bill is very rare here. Not many people use them nor can you get them at the money exchange house. The 1,000 peso is more common so if you were expecting to get 2,000 pesos you may plan to double your space! Why do you feel like you have to exchange so much? Just...

    Real Estate Sales For sale: Apartment with one the most beautiful domes in BsAs

    Ah ok. I have been in BA a few weeks now and I see that sort of thing in a bunch of different areas but the people are very respectful. They aren't pushy at all and will ask one time and if you say no they leave right away. I noticed some cafes started locking their doors. I went to Cafe la...

    Police Report Procedure

    Yes! Tampa and much of Florida I don't really like. Bad and humid and hot weather, too many old people, bugs. No thanks. Buenos Aires is a great city. I am also amazed at how safe it is. I thought I'd have to worry about my iPhone 15 Pro max but it's a none issue. I have been here the...

    Real Estate Sales For sale: Apartment with one the most beautiful domes in BsAs

    The USA Embassy is clear up in Palermo Chico. Did you mean up by there? I have seen street beggers in all sorts of areas. Many times when I'm having a coffee they will even come into the cafe sometimes to ask to buy a kleenex or something. They usually aren't begging so much as asking to buy...

    Trump tells Argentina's President-elect Javier Milei he plans to visit Buenos Aires (Associated Press)

    Oh no, please don't get me wrong. I am not a Trump fan either. I am not American. We are dealing with our own moronic leaders in our own countries. I think something happened the world over with leadership that is horrible. I don't know how much better or worse Trump is from Biden or Obama...

    Newcomer Foreign Credit Card purchases at MEP rate?

    Yes, when I first got here I exchanged too much at one time. I figured it is better to just exchange a few hundred dollars at a time as the rate went up as well. It is crazy the biggest bill is only worth $2 dollars. And don't even have the 2,000 peso bill. I tried at the money exchange place...

    Yes! I am in Palermo Soho now and staying near Plazo Serrano and it gets really loud on the weekends. I have been here a few weeks and there are a few areas that are ok for a few days as a tourist but I'm here a month and that is too long for Soho. I walked over in Retiro and it was beautiful...

    Food & Drink Best Bubble Tea (Boba) in Buenos Aires - Orizuru Snack Station in Chinatown

    Thank you! I walked by Chinatown today and I walked by this place. Funny your review. I wondered why the line was so long. There were people outside waiting. I guess they were waiting for their drinks. There were only 2 girls working and there must have been 25 people waiting in line for...

    Economy Argentine shopkeepers struggle to keep pace with soaring prices (The Independent - Ireland)

    Yes I get what you are saying earlyretirement. But at what point does it shift for you? I see you formally owned the largest property management company in Argentina. I would think that you make a lot more money when the economy is bad as you make your income in dollars (at least my Airbnb...
