    One Direction Singer, Liam Payne commits suicide at the Casa Sur Hotel in Palermo Hollywood

    Sounds like that delay cost him his life. They found so many drugs in his system. It's a good lesson that you never know what drugs someone puts in something you are taking. Stay safe out there.

    Is buying a property and listing a fake price normal in Buenos Aires?

    I also know some purchases they check even if many years later. I spoke to a foreigner that also had something similar happen. The issue seems to be that locals are much better liars than foreigners. Foreigners have their heads wired to be scared when dealing with tax authorities and tax evasion...

    70% of workers in Argentina were earning under 550,000 pesos a month in June

    Thanks for posting this detailed info. I always read about the canasta basica but didn't know what exactly was in it.

    Newcomer Mosquito invasion in BA

    Bad news. This says early circulation of dengue in the central region of Argentina, particularly in Córdoba, with concerns about a new strain. The Ministry of Health confirmed local cases of dengue, which is unusual for this time of year. Two young women were diagnosed on October 15, and there...

    Argentina: Inflation Resumes Its Decline, But . . .

    I agree inflation has been terrible! The dollar inflation has been high which is what really hurts. Normally it isn't this bad. Food prices are still going up about 2% a month which anywhere else in the world would be shocking.

    One Direction Singer, Liam Payne commits suicide at the Casa Sur Hotel in Palermo Hollywood

    I never heard of him before or knew who he was but he seems to be very popular. So many stories about him in the newspapers. It seems very morbid to want to go where he died. Strange to me...

    I assume she is joking? Didn't they just start dating.

    Newcomer Why are imported products so expensive here?

    I don't know if we will ever see dollarization. It doesn't seem like we are any closer today vs. when he took over. I am thankful that inflation has gone down but dollarization doesn't seem to be in the cards. As far as Mercado Libre, prices there are often times marked way up. People will buy...

    Day 3-5

    @CraigM which plan did you go for with the Ecobici? A friend recently came to visit me but she said she downloaded the App but it wouldn't work. I'm just curious which plan you got? Did you just go with a weekly plan? https://baecobici.com.ar/en/international-tourists/

    Alberto Fernández a wife beater?

    Yes talk about dumb. But I think all of these politicians all over the world are foolish. They all think they are above the law and they can do anything they want. We see this over and over again all over the world.

    A newsletter for expats in Buenos Aires

    Thanks for providing the estimate. Looks to be solid numbers and mine is a little higher than that but in the ballpark. I routinely hear that it's around 30,000 to 40,000 expats here but maybe more with people coming and going and not here full time. Thanks for putting the survey together.

    Newcomer First day of the Olympics in Paris: Argentines say "This is a disaster"

    I also have family there now and they say it is horrible. Today they sabotaged and lots of arson on the trains. It was impossible to get around much of Paris today. My family was in another city and was going to take the train in and it was closed all day. They tried to get a bus but all were...

    President Milei has now traveled 20% of his entire Presidency in other countries

    No, you're not asking too much. :p I would love to see that here in Argentina. Heck I would settle just to see the CEPO end but probably won't happen until next year. I guess you'd have to define "low inflation". Argentina's definition of "low inflation" probably is different to the rest of...

    Argentina's President Milei in crisis as he's forced to 'ditch' ultra-conservative VP

    This will smooth over between the two. They can't afford for the party to be split up and perceived as fighting. https://www.lanacion.com.ar/politica/lo-institucional-por-encima-de-todo-milei-busca-cortar-la-escalada-con-villarruel-pero-hay-nuevos-nid23072024/
