    Economy What will the cost of living increases be for August 2024 (Utilities, transportation, rent, etc) ?

    It is painful this kind of adjustment but they need to fix all of these problems as prices were too low for too many years. The majority here even if it is painful they understand why it is necessary to fix Argentina for one and for all.

    Newcomer Buying Quality Running Shoes in Buenos Aires or Canada?

    We also noticed this. We bought some shoes here for running also and after only some months the soles already have holes in them. I don't understand why as they appear to be genuine shoes but both my husband and I who are avid runners had the same thing happen. We also purchased them at Adidas...

    Alberto Fernández a wife beater?

    One thing for sure is there is a lot of drama here in Argentina! It shouldn't matter of the past of the President's wife (or actually I heard they were never married). No woman should get beat up like that.

    Day 1-2

    I also went to this on Saturday afternoon. Very nice and talented young people. Our favorite was the Third Act. Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov composition was quite splendid! The acoustics in the Teatro Colon is like nothing I experienced before. Very nice. Glad you could enjoy it too @CraigM.

    If you had an Argentine friend in a really bad situation

    This isn't hopeless or a struggle at all. I assume you are American @MickMolloy? Only an American would look at this situation as hopeless. There are real people going through real struggles around the world and this isn't one of them. Things could be much worse! Trust me on this one.

    Economy Will Clothing Prices Drop?

    In Argentina, a Catholic President and His Rabbi

    Before we moved here we thought all Latin America countries very Catholic and religious but here people not so much into religion. Maybe with all the problems of the country they think there is no God!

    Blue dollar hits a new historical record! 1,500 to $1 USD

    It can be very addicting to always watch the rate but also better sometimes to not be so focused on rate. Does anyone else look at the rate a few times each day like me? I have to stop.
