    Newcomer What are the most interesting aspects of Argentine culture for you?

    I came across a Reddit post discussing us foreigners who choose to live here. From what I can see, the main topic is about Argentine culture and how some foreigners take advantage without considering the consequences.

    Newcomer After Milei's Veto—Hatred appears

    Exactly, the solution is very simple, but that would mean the end of the business for many. The worst part is that politics uses students to their advantage, trying to spread lies and creating more divides among students simply for thinking differently. Just look at what happens at the National...

    Newcomer Everyday Violence: Is It a Reflection of the Current Situation?

    Yes, I agree. It does seem like people are more agitated lately. The stress of the current situation can really take a toll on emotions and behavior. It's concerning to see how quickly things can escalate, like the incident with the mothers attacking the teacher. It’s a reminder that we need to...

    Economy The adjustment figures that precipitated a new Federal University March - Infobae

    Paraguayan student says she's against Milei because Argentina pays for her education, housing, and food, and adds that they don’t have that in her country. But when the journalist points out that Paraguay has public education, she responds, 'Oh yes, but they have entrance exams, and I don’t meet...

    Newcomer After Milei's Veto—Hatred appears

    This is truly a shame. While shouting 'we must kill the traitor,' they attacked a libertarian influencer who was covering the veto of the university funding law outside of Congress. Is this what they call freedom of expression? Meanwhile, those against Milei boast about being peaceful.

    Don't count Cristina Kirchner out for a comeback

    Exactly! With the economic crisis in the country, many people feel insecure about their future, and Milei promises radical change. His fresh approach and rejection of the status quo resonate with young people who want to see something different in the country. In contrast, older generations are...

    Newcomer My wife (Argentinian) claims you can live "well" on $1500 a month in Argentina. True?

    I don't think it's possible to live on a salary of $1,000–$1,200 USD right now. Every month I need to exchange more dollars because the value keeps dropping a bit more each day. The dollar is becoming a weaker currency here, though I can't say for sure what's going to happen, Argentina is always...

    Don't count Cristina Kirchner out for a comeback

    According to Cristina, "unity needs direction and a plan to build the best Peronism possible in an Argentina that has become impossible for most of its inhabitants." What does she think? That she's going to save the world? We all know that her style of government has always been and will always...

    Black people in Argentina

    In Argentina, history made the Black population much less visible compared to places like the U.S. or Brazil, where slavery had a much stronger impact and racism is still a very relevant issue today. In the U.S., slavery was a key part of the economy, and even though it was abolished, structural...

    Day 3-5

    About a month ago, I went in for my routine cleaning and paid 50,000 pesos, Dr. Laura is excellent, very professional. She actually did a teeth whitening along with an ultrasonic cleaning and fluoride treatment. A simple cleaning probably costs much less. I found her through a recommendation...

    Black people in Argentina

    I have seen them in Constitucion and in Flores, I have heard that they are in the conurbano, they use the same mechanism everywhere, they sell in the streets, the government should regularize their situation.

    Education A sensitive issue in Argentine society that could tarnish Milei's image: Cutbacks in public education

    I insist that foreigners studying here at public universities should be charged a monthly fee. Just listen to that Chilean complaining about public and free education. In this country, many things need to be reorganized to make everything work properly. With what face is he making that...

    Politics Will Cristina Kirchner finally be sentenced to prison?

    This week we’ll finally know for sure what will happen with Cristina’s sentence. Some are already celebrating, but six years seems so little for someone who stole so much from her nation...

    Newcomer Power cuts this summer

    From my experience, power outages with Edesur tend to last longer than those with Edenor. I've never been without electricity for more than a few hours, but my in-laws have had to go over a day without it in the past.
