    Witnessed a robbery in Belgrano

    When you say "bike" do you mean bicycle or motorcycle? I'm guessing the latter. Those criminals are called "motochorros". Part of the problem here is the justice system, which tends to be very lenient with these criminals. For those who might be wondering, here's a shot of where Libertador...

    Thoughts on Being an Expat in Buenos Aires

    If you're looking for local friends, Venezolanos are a good prospect. Like you, they are far from home. It's also worth pointing out that most of the Venezolanos here are of the educated middle class. The poor ones walked across the border to Colombia or Brazil. Anybody who made it as far as...

    Thoughts on Being an Expat in Buenos Aires

    NO offense intended, ER, but this is Standard Lecture #17. We've all heard it over and over on these forums, and it's been talked/argued over extensively. I'm not saying you shouldn't have posted it, I'm just saying it is familiar to all the long-time users of this forum Most recently, the...

    Politics Could Milei win in the first round?

    My annoyance with Larreta is the thing he's done/doing to the streets here in Retiro. They've had Paraguay east of 9 de Julio torn up for 6 months now. The one block they finally finished, between Esmeralda and Maipú, now has some green areas, and maybe 5 or 6 parking places, but it's also now...

    Politics Could Milei win in the first round?

    Ah, you never know. Perhaps Myriam Bregman will finish the 1st round ahead of Bullrich. It would be amusing if people voted for a Communist who has zero chance of winning, instead of en blanco or such. If nothing else, it would infuriate dear Patricia beyond words, and that has some amusement...

    Politics Could Milei win in the first round?

    I rode with a taxi driver on Friday who was talking mad trash about Milei, and said he was going to vote for Massa, because he was the least bad of a poor lot. His major beef with Milei was actually a lack of experience. He said that Milei has never had a real job, has no track record, has no...
