That would be hilarious if expats that are perma-tourists start going hog wild ordering stuff and then they got busted in a honeypot sting going to their places. :ROFLMAO: Probably won't happen but would be funny as they would have their addresses and passport numbers. I'm told they will use...

I just talked to some people I met in BA that are moving to Malaga. It sounds like a lot of people there. I hear inflation is slowing down but it's still going up. I don't understand how tourism will sustain itself if Argentina gets too expensive. I would think that people will stop coming and...

Impressive numbers. I guess the economy isn't as bad as some people are saying with this kind of spending.

Wild that you would have to show anything to buy property. I would have thought as long as you had the money that is all that matters. I thought everything was cash in Argentina. But I guess it makes sense people would be worried about money laundering. I was wondering about that.

This seems crazy to me. Why would a bank object to any foreigner wanting to deposit money into an account? Seems crazy they would refuse to open an account without residency.

Jesus. I didn't realize this many people and this much money came in from the amnesty!

I came here to eat twice. It was actually one of my better meals. Wasn't cheap but food quality was better than most places. Honestly I didn't think the steaks were anything too special besides the expensive places. I had a great steak at Don Julio and here. I was severely disappointed at La...

Wow that doesn't seem like the norm to me. Looks like a major win. I've seen lots of coverage before in Argentina but not seen anything like that.

I was in BA for a month. Met many locals and they all had one thing in common and that is they had therapists. I never saw anything like that. It is very normal there @MickMolloy. I don't know the cost but some of the people that I met did not make much money so I don't think it can be...

But with the Libertarian standpoint wouldn't Libertarians be against opposing free trade?? Milei even is sending Argentina's pesos to get printed in China. Let's get realistic. It's a worthless vote and means nothing. Only 2 countries supporting it are Israel and the USA.

Is it true that he doesn't speak any Spanish? Hard to believe if he has been there so long.

I posted while I was in BA. I didn't think the food was all that. People always say how great the steaks are there but I think they were overrated. I did go to Don Julio and it was good but I can get better at any steakhouse in Dallas. They way overcook steaks there. Almost to the point it is...

Agree about the cheap Ubers. I read today that taxi meters are going up 50% next week but I wonder if Uber prices will also go up. I just think maybe the Uber is supply and demand. There are so many Ubers in BA. I couldn't believe it. I never waited more than 3 minutes for an Uber. On...

It may not be as cheap as last year but prices are still a lot lower than many places around the world. Besides coffee which I found about the same price as back home, restaurants were still much cheaper. I think it's all relative.

Beware if you're waiting for a package at customs they are on strike. I just sent a friend a package and it was supposed to arrive today and she can't get it as they are on strike!

This is what it looks like. Under their current scheme it doesn't sound like the debt is going down. Many in Argentina think the same thing. I follow this guy on X and he has been sounding the alarm.

If the IRS ever did something like this people wouldn't fall for it. They know it was be some trap to catch people. Crazy that locals trust the government.

It sounds like cash is still king. I found cuevas where you send bitcoin and USDT and they charge about 2.5% to 3% fees. If the seller doesn't accept crypto directly which it sounds like no one is still willing to do this. Is it legal to bring in cash this way to Argentina?

I might come during that time. I don't know anyone well enough to get invited but what restaurants would you recommend @GlasgowJohn for Christmas or NYE?

No one here cares what you are wearing. I saw some very colorful outfits while I was there. People don't care one way or another. It felt a lot like Spain there. At dinner some dress up but very casual for the most part.
