This isnt my experience at all, after helping many tourists my guess would be less than 10 % of kiosko staff are not complete assholes who are extremely bitter towards "rich foreigners" as their own cost of living skyrockets. Times this by a million if the foreigner doesn't speak spanish. But...

1. Not every "open 25" has the machines, in fact less than half of them do, so this list is pretty useless 2. The main users of a "quick and easy" pre paid phone card are tourists new to the country who have no idea what an "open 25" is, and will get no help from the lazy, unmotivated and...

Movistar is awful. It's easy to get a prepaid account but how do you put money in it ? The official movistar stores tell you to go to a kiosko with no further advice. The kioskos tell you to use the app. The app won't let you load money into it without a DNI and Argentine card so as a...

If you could literally just make seasoned chicken breast with nice tasting vegetables and a carb I would pay it

I would gladly pay $400 a month for a private chef in BA. I don't even want anything special just the type of food you get at "comida por peso" places but without the massive sanitary and freshness issues

I live right there and you are right so many Russian women pushing their kids around in strollers. I always wonder where their husbands are. Do they have work visas? What do they work in ?

If you live in an apartment building with no doorman, no where to put letters outside, and I'm not home in the day, where does my letter end up ? Talking about just a standard letter not a package or anything. Thanks for your help I'm desperate to recieve a document from home

When I was first given 20k notes my first unconscious reaction was "are these fake?" They look about as crappy as the 2k bills so whatever your opinion is of them

I feel nervous and paranoid carrying around these 20k bills. Logically I know it's less than $20 but years of paying for everything with 1000 peso notes has changed my brain structure or something

What a joke, unless someone tied him down and forced him to take the drugs it's no one elses fault And the friend who left hours before charged with "negligent homicide" for not taking care of his friend??? Imagine the ramifications of this. You go out to a bar with a friend who gets...

It was just a plain letter from my mother back home with a credit card in it. Obviously I had the limit set at $0 incase someone stole it so I didn't lose any money but it's still frustrating because I really need that card 😑

I'm experiencing this more and more terrible attitudes. If I say hola to someone and they ignore me I will ignore them forever which just makes the a situation build. My pride doesn't allow me anything else. I suspect that he has taken a package intended for me, what actions should I consider...

I'm sure they'll be closed the Tuesday and Wednesday but will they just close on monday etc for funsies don't want to be caught with no cash

It's more than 'disagree' when we are talking about the leader of an organisation bankrupting cancer sufferers and terminal patients who have dutifully paid their fees for 30 years. My mom had breast cancer and her insurance company made her life hell through every step of chemo. She survived...

Whats the opinion around here on Luigi ? My own experience is you pay a fortune into healthcare for decades and decades then you finally make a reasonable claim and an AI chatbot denies it ... yeah that makes people incredibly mad and desperate

If any expats complain about poverty reducing and salary increasing they deserve to be expelled as traitors to the patria

Good decision the humidity is making me miserable and it's only December. If you came here for the first time in January you would have no choice but to hate Buenos Aires and that would be a shame.

It's very interesting that Avocado says half his family supports Milei and the other half no in the USA things are becoming so divided that we read about families seperating over political votes which is very sad and not good for the future

Firstly want to say I respect Avocado and Larry and I have learned much from reading their Milei hating posts and the forum is better with them here Just want to ask is there anything Milei could do to make you support him over a thieving bandit like Kristina ? And if so what ? You make...

I need to buy a laptop (yes I know they are horribly overpriced here). Is it a bad idea to make a large withdrawal at Western Union ? As far as getting flagged in the system and then possibly having problems later on
