Actually Argentina has a TON of oil and gas too and other natural resources. Sure, I agree we should give the guy a chance. But we gotta call a spade a spade and I think he is making bone head moves. Is he good for Argentina? Or would Massa do better? Maybe. But our inflation is higher than...

Stay home! Restaurant/cafe workers are very hard workers. They have a tough enough job than dealing with jerks like you. You can't afford to pay a 10% then don't go out to eat. It's that simple. Respect the policies in the countries you are traveling in. Enough said.

I will go anywhere from 10% up to 20% if the service was over the top good. Also, the latter at places where I am a regular customer and I get the same person each time. I feel I have a personal relationship with this person when I go to the same place for years.

I give mine about 15,000 pesos or about $20 US as well as a box of chocolates. I wish I could give more but times are tough.

I agree with you @Avocado! It is important to comprehend that Milei functions as a mere figurehead, a surrogate carrying out the bidding of others. So, back when Macri was just starting out, Macri's first move as president was handing over everything the vulture funds wanted. Like, no...

I agree the 3 years with only raising the value was NOT smart but I worry about the everyday tenant. I don't agree too much with government interference but I think that the government should at least set reasonable terms. A free for all situation where owners can set whatever terms they want...

Yes I have only been forced on this the past week. I have been here many years and never had to show my actual passport. I finally in one store showed my DNI as I had things on the counter. But I wrote in a fake DNI # when they asked. Lucky the people behind the counter are very lazy.

Wow I didn't hear about this in the news. 4 Americans dead in 1 month? 25 deaths this year by tourists? I read some of those. I heard about people using Tinder to scam or even kill tourists. My friend said her uncle had this happen in Brazil. I asked the details and they said her 68 year...

$7,000??? Holy crap. That is a lot. Does anyone know what others charge? Good for him. Supply and demand but wow that is one ugly website!! LOL. Yes, he posts on the old forum. He has helped a lot of Chinese people and it sounds like Russian too.

WOW. I didn't know this is why you started the new forum. I agree that the Admin of that forum is strange. I have suggested something and then it was strange as my posts got edited or deleted without notifying me. Does anyone know if Igor has other Admins who are doing this too? I would...

I went to this place all the way out in the boonies. The original one. That pasta with the cheese is quite the presentation. The food was very good.

I love this place!

I'm not too sure this can realistically happen. Ha. There are a LOT of cambios/cuevas that will be out of business if that is the case but I guess that's probably one of the goals. Did they say anything about MEP and credit card purchases by foreign credit cards? Though nice to pay bills at...

Hi querido Sergio, Argentina is very very very cheap with one HUGE exception and that is rents! Rents are continuing to go up quickly. All my friends that had good relationships with Airbnb hosts and didn't have trouble finding a place to rent are now SOL and having to sleep on friends...

I went to exchange money at the casa de cambio (cueva) earlier this week. They were buying US Dollars at 915 pesos to $1 USD and selling for 950 pesos to $1 USD which was different from what the rate was when I checked right before going. I use https://www.ambito.com/contenidos/dolar.html and...

I came here at 55 because I was basically unemployable in the United States. I couldn't find a job and no one wanted to hire a middle aged person. I was in danger of losing my home because I was late on my property taxes. Argentina has been very good for me. Not always good to me! But...

And this is yet another reason why all over the world the middle class is totally decimated. Totally destroyed.

Sellers can indefinitely hold onto properties since there are no mortgages in play. Most people own their property outright, leading to minimal expenses limited to utilities and taxes. In comparison, the overhead costs associated with a $300,000 apartment in this region are significantly lower...

It sounds like it takes two to tango. I wonder what she would say about you.

Certainly, that is indeed true. However, when the well-being and livelihoods of an entire nation and its 47 million people are in jeopardy, that is not the appropriate moment for learning on the job.
