    Argentine Leader Draws Fire After Cratering of Crypto Coin He Promoted - New York Times

    But do you think anyone will ever be accountable for that mess? I wonder how all of the lawsuits will turn out? Probably will be in courts forever. They can't even locate that guy that is at the center of this. I doubt the government will want to find him. It sounds like Trump's wife was in...

    I'm on my way!

    Yep. Soho had it everywhere. It's funny because Soho seems nice during the day. But I was walking late at night as I was leaving a friend's apartment. Go late at night and it is kind of depressing. Many of those nice stores have a protective barrier and it is all spraypainted over. Why is...

    What happens if Argentina gets too expensive? What are alternative cities/countries to move to when it's overpriced in Argentina?

    Are there any prepared healthy meals that are delivered like is common in the USA and other places around the world? Food can't compare to freshness in most places I sent to. Supermarket greens section is kind of pathetic in BA. Maybe because everyone goes to a verduleria? Milei and Caputo seem...

    How well does the city bicycles all over Buenos Aires with Ecobici work? Availability, issues?

    I could never get this app to work. They have a tourist package but never would let me enter my details. They really need to work on the app to allow tourists to use them. Those bikes are all over but many people say they can't use the app.

    What happens if Argentina gets too expensive? What are alternative cities/countries to move to when it's overpriced in Argentina?

    :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Seriously though is it just Buenos Aires that is over priced? Is it like this in other provinces too? When I was in BA and went around Argentina I noticed it was different from place to place. Buenos Aires especially Palermo was much more expensive vs places like Salta...

    Free events this weekend

    Something I like about BA is there is always so much to do each week. They have so many activities here. Are there many networking events here with expats or with the locals? Have any of you gone to them? How was it?

    Newcomer Life in Buenos Aires after 1 month of living here as an expat

    I noticed there are big prices differences on places. Not too many King beds compared to Queen or smaller beds. Not sure why that is. @Spend Thrift are you happy with the place you got on the long-term lease? Any regrets? I found some places on Airbnb I like but they have booking between and...

    Education What apps do you use to learn or improve your Spanish?

    I agree about vocabulary. Even if I can't speak too well if I know what everything means eventually people understand what I am talking about. I do the opposite as you @futuro and I watch movies in Spanish and put English subtitles so I can see how they pronounce it.

    Milei - Time magazine

    They always on that station try to get people to criticize what this administration are doing. It's all live and so many times I see people agree with the austerity measures. It's funny!

    Extreme vandalism and damage to beautiful statues in Buenos Aires

    I think they are stealing it for the Bronze and then trying to sell parts of it? People seem really desperate there. A shame to destroy such beautiful artifacts.

    Buquebus ferry trips to Colonia or Montevideo?

    I am visiting Buenos Aires next month and I read some posts about visiting Colonia. I heard Uruguay was more expensive than Buenos Aires and kind of boring but I wanted to get another country visited under my belt since I'm there. It seems like I can also use this border trip to extend my 3...

    Homicide, robbery and petty theft on the rise in Greater Buenos Aires

    Thank you!! I have more reading to do. Argentina is so fascinating. I heard it used to be a rich country. I am going to research more and much some Youtube videos. What is the minimum wage like there? I have been to other countries in South America like Brazil with low wages but their inflation...

    Homicide, robbery and petty theft on the rise in Greater Buenos Aires

    How are there not riots in the street? I am coming next month for my first visit. I planned the trip a year ago when things were very cheap but I read there is 300% inflation since last year. I read about some strikes but I don't read about violence. Will my trip be ok? How are things so calm...
