    If you had an Argentine friend in a really bad situation

    Living at home at 21, working 7 days a week earning a pathetic wage in pesos with the cost of everything going up, what advice could you realistically give then? Anything at all ? Or is it all just hopeless. And if they are asking you for advice but you know their situation is hopeless...

    How can the food here be so bad ?

    I love Argentina but how? Something as simple as a sandwhich de milenesa will be so dry and awful every bite is a choking hazard. Buy a simple "Milenesa con pure" and its so thin it almost doesn't exist. And this restaurant is rated 4.5 stars in google maps so Argentines actually think this...

    Say you overstay 5 years then try to leave. Most likely they'll ban you from returning but what else? Can they issue you a massive fine? What if you say "no hay plata" ? Jail ?

    Anyone else find the bread here awful

    So dry and hard like eating rocks Even expensive bread from "nice" places, it makes it impossible to have any kind a nice sandwhich. Seriously I thought making some decent bread was something humans mastered about 2000 years ago
