I have sent in $2,000 USD before to WU and I didn't have problems. They are right some might have annual limits but I have never sent that much to hit that ceiling. Also, if you're buying a computer here you might want to check out Grabr. Some friends used that to buy phones or laptops and...

Never heard of anyone having problems doing border runs. Very easy.

Thank you for coming back and updating. Glad it's working so well. I will let my friend know it is working great for you.

I saw this guy getting beat up by the Leftists in BA. He is literally getting chased for blocks and getting punched. Aren't there police around? Aren't people afraid of getting arrested? I guess maybe installing cameras all over the city isn't a bad idea.

Bumping this post. Has anyone actually signed up for this? I still don't know anyone that has actually signed up. I recall one of the members that lived outside of the city in the Northern part of the city with no high-speed internet. Maybe it was @Oatmeal? Did you ever sign up for this?

Seems like this is the case with just about everyone there. People don't save their savings in pesos. Maybe the younger generations are now and trust Milei but talk to anyone older and almost everyone I know there still buy dollars whenever they can to save that way. The problem now seems to be...

Hopefully they can get rid of currency controls but it's understandable why they need to wait. Sounds like ending currency controls is one of the last big steps. I read about people saying that Milei is just another Macri but Macri didn't have the intelligence to do much of what Milei's...

Seems like a powder keg is building up. I was told when the pots and pans come out it's the start of troubles. A friend there said her mom no longer has her medications paid that were paid before. Can't afford the utility bills. She told me she thinks all these utility companies are...

Sure probably can't hurt but I wonder if it would be more of a nuisance with 50% of the population against you and probably will use it as an excuse to cause problems or protests. Not sure it's worth it now.

@BikeEnthusiast totally agree with you. It was one of the things I like the most about Argentina. This is sad news. I was thrilled when I heard Milei cancelled his visit to Switzerland to meet up with Zelensky. I don't see this as anything Argentina should get involved with. It doesn't have any...

I'm like you @Jenn. I almost never use cash in the States. Only for tips when I valet my car. Things are much different in Argentina. Just a few years ago you had to use cash as you couldn't use credit cards or got a horrible exchange rate that was 100% less. It is great to see Argentina...

Thank you all for sharing your top Apps.

Looks like the blue dollar is heading back up. :) https://www.dolarito.ar/

From what my friends tell me, Milei wants foreigners including Mersosur residents to pay for public education and also health care expenses. I believe they get those free now. This seems reasonable to me. Argentina is far too poor to pay for any of this. I don't believe anyone that is not...

I can't imagine hanging out in La Boca for any long amount of time without speaking Spanish. It can be rough! I saw a guy getting his camera stolen there in broad day light!

I think the Argentine Spanish is so cool. Very recognizable around the world. I just learned in college and it's funny how when you don't use the strong ll (double ll) some taxis won't even understand it at all!

Yes, also post where it was or the details. I'd love to read a report about a cheap haircut in Buenos Aires. It all adds up. My hair is also very easy to cut. Funny about the 50% of guys having that medium fade. So true!

I agree that everyone probably feels differently about this. I have lots of friends that developed health issues after. I'm not sure if it's related or not. But enough that I won't take another vaccine and even my own doctor said NOT to get another booster. I did get 3 covid vaccines. The 2...

Last year, I enrolled my 3-year-old in a private bilingual school in Tigre. While it might be feasible to consider public schools in CABA, in Tigre, I'd err on the side of caution unless you're comfortable with your kids picking up their ABCs from L-Gante and mingling with children whose parents...

If that is your criteria then I'd say that most locals wouldn't get ANY tip. Service often times is poor but that's more the norm I've found that great service. I leave 10%. The crazy devaluation makes it a bit strange. When the cost of lunch was 200 pesos or less than someone would willingly...
