    What are you favorite things about living in Buenos Aires as an Expat or living in Argentina if not living in BA?

    Liked much of your post but the first part of your post was confusing! @Avocado's post sounded like a compliment. Maybe I am missing something. But it was super confusing to read that. I am not an expat or living here. Just a tourist on vacation but the city is great. I could definitely live...

    Medical Healthcare medical monthly premiums are going to get increased!

    I am young but I wouldn't dream of not having medical coverage. For me it is if I get pregnant, get sick, accident or just getting sick. You would be shocked how expensive things are in the USA if you get sick and don't have coverage. I think some people are ok with this but I have friends...

    Thank you for all of these places! I am in BA the past few weeks and it was all really great. People are so friendly here. It is totally safe here. I worried for nothing. This feels safer to me than Europe.

    Western Union

    I just picked up money at WU this afternoon. I sent funds to myself. The rate was 1,134.90 to $1 dollar. No line at all. The city is much quieter now with many locals traveling. Was nice not to wait in line.

    The Central Bank approved the issuance of $10,000 and $20,000 bills for June

    Some people argue that having higher denomination bills can lead to inflation or at least bring attention to it. I think that was much of the argument from the Peronists like CFK. However, other countries have different experiences: In Singapore and Brunei (which share a currency union)...

    Am I the asshole? You be the judge please

    It's hard to tell @MickMolloy. We ask Uber drivers and half seem to love him and half seem to hate him. Do you think people will have patience for him to fix things?

    Am I the asshole? You be the judge please

    I just saw your post. It made me wonder as I feel appreciated as a tourist but is this perception out there as "arrogant scumbag tourist"? I hope not. But do locals feel this way about us?
