That is a very sad story. He is better off without his family if they feel like that. Never met any exciting expats.

This is what irks me as well about my friends who are Peronistas. They act like everything was A-OK for decades when it wasn't. I don't understand this. Each day there are more scandals of government officials stealing from Argentina and contributed to all the issues we are dealing with today...

This will all blow over. I guess Spain shouldn't have started such childlike behavior stating Milei was on drugs. All of this is really silly.

What amazes me is seeing places like McDonalds full of families that would rather give their kids yucky food vs. as Asado and it's even more expensive than having an asado!

Funny!

Costs have gone up and might go up more but still not too bad and tons of things to do here. For a gay male nothing beats the energy of BA!

Groundhog's Day is over. I sent myself and picked up this afternoon and the rate I received was 1,265 pesos to $1 US.

At least COVID cases are down. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/cdc-says-jn1-variant-accounts-about-62-covid-cases-us-2024-01-05/ https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2024/01/05/1222976528/respiratory-illnesses-covid-flu-rsv-increase-rise-after-holidays For those that want to get...

I'm not an expert, but here's a simplified take on it. This happens often around this time of year, especially before labor negotiations. This year, though, things are more challenging due to recent changes. A lot is happening, but in general, businesses are trying to reduce losses both upfront...

Ah, Peronism, the chameleon of ideologies. Menem's tangoing on the right, while Kitchener and Fernandez decided to salsa on the left. The Peronist socialist fiesta brought us maximum interventionism, fiscal acrobatics, and a dash of monetary irresponsibility that made Argentina do the Macarena...

So, got this gem of an email from Sancor yesterday. They're like, "Hold on, we're breaking down that jaw-dropping 70% increase into bite-sized monthly chunks. First, let's toss you a cool 40%, and next month, just to keep the thrill alive, we'll add a modest 30%." Well, what do you know...

Funny! Is that true? That would be hilarious if true. Actually this hotel is kind of slumming it for Milei. I stayed there before and it's not that nice. 4 stars is being generous and the funny thing is they don't allow pets so must be making an exception for Milei with his 5 dogs.

Completely agree that that is the way that it should be. And to a significant extent that is the way that it is already. What bothers me is that many "anti-Mileistas" don't bother to read beyond the tag-line and seem to point and say “won’t somebody think of the poor!”, making claims that the...

Adding to the growing concerns, he has taken the drastic step of shutting down the National Foundation of the Arts and the Institute of Theater. Furthermore, there's a wave of layoffs hitting arts employees across the board, with the Museo de Hombre feeling the brunt—losing a staggering 90% of...

Okay, honey, I'm not a mom (I'm a gay male that loves sipping on wine all day), but listen up—I'm thinking, toss him into a totally Argentine school, and bam, his Spanish is gonna be on point. Picture this: a unique adventure that screams college application essay material! Trust me, being fully...

"La Patria no se vende." The only thing that's missing is the fascist salute, seriously. But check it—despite all the xenophobia vibes toward foreign investors, who, by the way, just gotta chill in Argentina for two years without dropping a single penny to stop being "foreigners," it doesn't...

I mostly go alone to eat. I'm kind of a loner. Most of my tabs aren't that much. Maybe I'm an idiot but I don't really look at the % a lot of the times. Most times the service is so slow just to get my check it takes forever so I just round up and I make sure I give them at least 10% but I...

I give mine a bottle of wine and 20,000 pesos.

He is doing a good job of getting it "de-regulated" quickly. Changing laws and chainsawing through DNU's. He's the man!
