So true @FuturoBA! I have local friends that pretend like they know what the dollar will do. Then I ask them why they didn't either sell or buy USD and they never respond. What I do is only buy enough pesos to last me 1-2 months. Here we never know what will happen. But it doesn't hurt to buy...

I don't know anyone in BA that giddy about this other than a few Jewish friends I know that obviously are supportive of it.

Don't worry @Digital Nomad. Even the experts don't understand all of this or know how things will end up. Doubt the IMF would ever let Argentina dollarize the economy. At least not any time soon.

Not sure Argentina is going to win it all. Last win wasn't too impressive.

Oh boy. This is NOT good news. I agree. I thought it was only me. Which company do you use @GlasgowJohn? If they were already raising all of this year I wonder how much they will raise now???

Welcome to Argentina and congrats on the birth of your baby.

I have used Grabr to order stuff and it works great! I didn't even think about signing up to bring stuff here!

I hate both candidates. Trump seemed much calmer than usual.

I saw that and thought the same thing. I was wondering about how Milei got his $$$$. This explains it.

Yes it has really accelerated the past few days.

My cousin did this one and enjoyed it a lot. Agree with you @CraigM. It's a great way to discover a new city. We did this in Paris and also parts of Italy and it was great. Group tours might not interest you but these custom individual or for 2 people trips are great as long as you're at the...

Maybe Milei should take some advice from President Lula. Just run Argentina and stop trying to rule the world. I have a feeling all these trips are going to backfire on Milei now. His narcissism has gotten too much of a problem now when he is giving speeches about why he should win the Nobel...

I have a friend who has been a perma-tourist for about 10 years. She said it was actually more difficult when they stamped her passport. I would have thought the reverse since they can all see it on the computer screen. She just said it depends on if you get an angry immigration official. She...

The President seems to be in La La land going and accepting fake medals around Europe. There is all this talk about things improving in Argentina but it is just that. Talk. Talk is cheap. Poverty levels are sky-high and no arguing that they are higher under Milei vs. Alberto. Unemployment rates...

I much prefer Bariloche in the Spring or summer vs. winter. I think the city can be overrated.

It is crazy but there are a lot of those types of events all around the world now. My friends worry and ask me if all is ok in Argentina and I laugh at them and tell them I see daily crazy events all over the world in first world countries much worse. Paris, London, USA, Ireland, Italy.

I just think Milei needs to take care of business first in Argentina. Companies are probably not going to invest until they see big changes in Argentina. The country is still as messed up as ever only now it's much more expensive vs. last year. I know many people that have moved out of...

I found this video by accident today after watching a video on Meloni. But it got me wondering, what are your cultural shocks for you about living in Buenos Aires or Argentina as an expat? Here is a video below about some of them from expats. For me when I first got here it was a big shock of...

I looked for the video after I read your post. I found it! What a strong woman!

Stay safe out there. As the recession is so bad people are getting more aggressive. Thieves robbed the owner of a car during the day. I haven't seen this sort of thing before and now happening daily...
