    Thank you Argentina on behalf of all Russians that moved here to Buenos Aires!

    Every day I see more and more of my people from Russia in Buenos Aires. It makes me very happy. Look how good after short amount of time we can speak Spanish. Fortunately most people are very friendly and welcome us to Argentina. We see some Kukas here are sick. It is like they are sick in...

    Thank you Argentina on behalf of all Russians that moved here to Buenos Aires!

    This is the reaction of the typical Russian that arrives to Buenos Aires. Love our new city.

    Thank you Argentina on behalf of all Russians that moved here to Buenos Aires!

    Thank you for saying such nice things. I agree with you. We deserve a better government but that won't happen until people reject Putin. I fear things will deteriorate even more in the future and more wars and conflict in my country. We love Argentina but we hope we can go back to our country...

    New banking restrictions for expats living in Buenos Aires? Did anyone else get an email from their bank? (UIF Resolution 14/2023)

    I don't think Argentina will come off of Grey list. I have to believe money laundering here is very common. You can go into any cueva and wire in money undeclared and get cash. Same with crypto and not declared...

    Thank you Argentina on behalf of all Russians that moved here to Buenos Aires!

    I am so happy to see so many Russians coming to Argentina. The population is growing so rapidly here.

    Venezuela Election - Will Maduro finally be pushed out of power in Venezuela?

    Of course Maduro doesn't want to do a new election. He would badly lose there too. https://en.mercopress.com/2024/08/16/maduro-disagrees-with-lula-s-idea-of-repeating-elections?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss&utm_content=main&utm_campaign=rss&ct=t(RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN)

    Day 6-7

    From what I read, Milei is saying we already passed through the toughest part of recession. We will see. Venezuela formally was a very wealthy country. They let it all go downhill too. I think the world has less room for tyrants now vs. before. It seem like Peronismo is losing ground here and...

    Is crime getting worse? Is safety getting more complicated during this recession?

    We don't find any problem with crime here. We go to Paris many time and see people stealing purses all the time and also phones. Here we have no problem but we are careful.

    How can the food here be so bad ?

    Thank you @Betsy Ross! I didn't know about this store. I will go immediately tomorrow! Thank you for mentioning this place. I will also see about this place. This is very helpful. We are so surprised how milk here is so bad. Thank you too @Avocado! We know enough families that can order...

    Economy Milk consumption fell by almost 20%

    Thank you Betsy! I saw your post on the other section about the place to order good quality milk. Thank you so much!

    How can the food here be so bad ?

    One thing we find very surprising here is that the milk and yogurts and cheeses here are so poor quality compared to Europe. Shocking when you think of all this fertile farmland. The bagged milk is quite surprising to us.

    Economy What will the cost of living increases be for August 2024 (Utilities, transportation, rent, etc) ?

    It is painful this kind of adjustment but they need to fix all of these problems as prices were too low for too many years. The majority here even if it is painful they understand why it is necessary to fix Argentina for one and for all.

    Newcomer Buying Quality Running Shoes in Buenos Aires or Canada?

    We also noticed this. We bought some shoes here for running also and after only some months the soles already have holes in them. I don't understand why as they appear to be genuine shoes but both my husband and I who are avid runners had the same thing happen. We also purchased them at Adidas...

    Western Union

    Today's rate was 1285 : $1 US.

    Alberto Fernández a wife beater?

    One thing for sure is there is a lot of drama here in Argentina! It shouldn't matter of the past of the President's wife (or actually I heard they were never married). No woman should get beat up like that.

    Day 1-2

    I also went to this on Saturday afternoon. Very nice and talented young people. Our favorite was the Third Act. Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov composition was quite splendid! The acoustics in the Teatro Colon is like nothing I experienced before. Very nice. Glad you could enjoy it too @CraigM.

    If you had an Argentine friend in a really bad situation

    This isn't hopeless or a struggle at all. I assume you are American @MickMolloy? Only an American would look at this situation as hopeless. There are real people going through real struggles around the world and this isn't one of them. Things could be much worse! Trust me on this one.

    Economy Will Clothing Prices Drop?

    This first thing we notice here @Jakoval. Very surprised at cost for clothes here. Even clothes for my kids price like adults. I am waiting for some shipments of clothes from Grabr. We order many and a nice American is bringing for us in 2 weeks. We can't wait! Also, we have her bring some toys...

    In Argentina, a Catholic President and His Rabbi

    Before we moved here we thought all Latin America countries very Catholic and religious but here people not so much into religion. Maybe with all the problems of the country they think there is no God!

    Donald Trump Assasination Attempt today - July 13, 2024
