Interesting. I have some friends from LA that also come down for tango.

I don't understand why anyone would use Tinder in Medellin. For all the reported cases of people getting drugged, just imagine how many people don't report it out of embarrassment that don't end up dead.

Yep. I also hate São Paulo. A friend got robbed there by gun. Several co-workers that are from there have bullet proof cars. On the contrary, I love Rio de Janeiro. Naturally beautiful city. Laid back people. Great food, great beaches. But agree with The Economist that Buenos Aires is the top...

You will be wowed @CraigM. Are you planning to see both the Argentina and Brazil sides? Definitely do it as they are unique and totally different.

Interesting responses and I can relate to some of them. I go down to Buenos Aires a few times each year for the past 20 years. Besides Covid when the country was shut down. I agree the banking/finance part of the equation could be better but just coming down a few weeks each time it is easy...

I'm always fascinated about hearing people's life stories. I always assumed that people in BA that owned several properties were wealthy but now I have a different perspective hearing that story. Good for her!

There are many Argentines that live off rental income from properties they own. I have several friends from Buenos Aires that inherited several properties and they just rent them out. I own a small studio apartment in Palermo in a skyscraper that I was fortunate enough to buy many years ago...

Everyone has their own reasons for small vs. big city. I live in Los Angeles and like bigger cities. Love the ability to get just about any type of food I want any time. Go to the theatre or museums or broadway play. Sporting events or concerts and distinct neighborhoods. You taught me...

I remember that incident. You have to be careful who you befriend in a city like BA. I know on that old board they have members that meet up with one another on a regular basis. Not sure what the purpose of it is other than to possibly make friends or people are bored and lonely. Someone I know...

@CraigM getting stuck in a snow storm here in Argentina is not fun!

But it's not just WW3. The world is a mess right now including USA. More conflicts than ever before. This is Los Angeles.

I have never tried Puchero @Sunny. I will have to try it. I honestly don't think Argentina has too many really local dishes. The most popular always seems to be asdado, empanadas, and a few other things mentioned here. When I am in town I get kind of tired of beef. Buenos Aires is very limited...

Milei just keeps getting more and more traction. He is the real deal. Respected by people all over the world and with today's win he is proving that this time it's going to be different.

GREAT list of essential Buenos Aires apps. I have a folder on my iPhone for BA and most of these apps are already in them. I added a few that you all mentioned. Very helpful.

But this would be like asking someone why they would sign up for Venmo. Peer to peer payments are the future. Even in a cash society like Argentina they eventually will get adoption of most people to go digital. Call me crazy but in the future some countries will probably just make paying with...

Sol also has some info on this. https://solsalute.com/blog/argentina-sim-card/

Yes it is horrible here in California. I read about that incident in SF. Just terrible. We are getting protests and violence at UCLA and other campuses. The amount of hostility and violence going on right now is worrysome...

I had no idea Texas had so many Argentines. I wonder in which city? Nice article but reading between the lines it sounds like a family that misses Buenos Aires. The article mentioned they are in some supermarkets. I wonder which ones. I go to Dallas now and again for business. I'd try it if...

I think this is a mistake spending money on military parades. He has made a lot of good decisions but I can't understand the logic of spending money on military parades and I don't like the direction he is going with all this military spending. No Argentines I know are particularly war mongers...

My friend that works at EZE told me the strike was suspended. https://www.infobae.com/sociedad/2024/06/05/tras-un-acuerdo-salarial-se-suspendieron-la-protesta-de-controladores-aereos-pautadas-para-este-mes/?outputType=amp-type
