Um no. Not all big cities smell. Trash doesn't get piled up like this in most cities. This is NOT normal. Fortunately most big cities that I go to don't smell like this.

That girl is in marketing. I follow her on IG. She doesn't live in Argentina I don't think. She lives in Florida if I remember right. I wonder how she will do. Online a bunch of people saying it is expensive compared to other existing brands. I've never had mate before and don't know what the...

At least it sounds like you were able to open up a bank account. Did you open it up at the Banco de la Nacion? Was it difficult?

This must be a proud moment for Argentina to see this!

What? Still going on? I am very very very very happy that I decided to delay trip. I hope this isn't still going on in October!

Wow. I read some articles about this group and had sympathy for them but now reading that letter I am having second thoughts. Now reading tons of posts about them. My mind is blown.

I asked my friend and she said she has been using her MC, Visa and American Express. She said the AMEX takes up to 2 weeks to credit back. But she does get it back but not sure what the exchange rate is. She said very close to the MEP rate like the other cards.

Forget about the Onlyfans! That article said people are setting up tents for other people to pee and poop in?? Then it said they dump it in the trash every 5 or 6 people. Gross! Where do they put all that sewage and filth?

I really really really realy want to thank all of you that talked me out of coming to Buenos Aires this month. I can't even imagine the pungent smells and bad odors in the street right now. I probably would have had to buy a ticket to leave. My nose is so sensitive to bad smells.

Yes. Not the best of luck with this issue. I have been in Spain the past month. Went to Barcelona and in Seville now. Lot of anti tourists activities. Someone smeared poop on my Airbnb lock box for my keys. I was able to move out because of that. I am going to stay here a while and then check...

You are lucky @FuturoBA! I worry about the slightest of things like encountering poop on sidewalks on my Airbnb lockbox now. People will find something to complain about. Still, if the President's sister rushed off to apologize it probably is a sign that the government looks at it as an issue.

But if they have gold in the US can't Burford Capital block to seize it? I'd think the USA would be the last place Argentina wants to move it's gold. https://www.reuters.com/business/argentina-seeks-block-asset-seizure-help-satisfy-161-billion-judgment-2024-01-08/

I have heard the same thing that many people from Argentina are racist. My friend living there for the past several months even has many Argentine friends that admit that as a society they kind of are racist. I wasn't sure if they were joking around or not. I heard there are almost no black...

It looks like Milei's approval ratings are still very high. 53% still rating him good or very good.

I saw some article the other day in the USA from Milei that said something about the exchange rate would be 3,000 to $1 if it wasn't for his Economic Minister. So the exchange rate is heading to 3,000 to $1? That would be great for my upcoming trip. Would make things much cheaper.

If there are enough shelters and these people choose to be on the street no one should feel sorry for them.

I haven't been to the forum in a while as I decided to go to Spain for the summer. I'm coming to BA in October. The exchange rate is nuts! Just a few months ago it was 1,000 to $1. Now I see it's almost 1,500 to $1. Great! Hopefully by the time I come it's 2,000 to $1.

Thanks so much for those of you that talked me out of coming to BA in the winter! I see the brutally cold weather and soooo glad I postponed my trip until the end of October. I am here in Spain and I thought the dog poop on the sidewalks was bad but people in Spain are smearing human and dog...

Thanks for the heads up @Oatmeal. Appreciate hearing about potential scams so I can avoid them. Is there some place where you can officially report attempts to scam you? Or is it not worth reporting?

I I heard it's also very cold in Buenos Aires now. I'm glad I didn't go down there this month. My friend told me it's supposed to be the coldest temperatures in many years. Hopefully this will kill all those mosquitos!
