Unfortunately, these all closed down. There are still a few normal bars where you can go. Most of the scene has all shifted to Whatsapp and websites.

Thanks. Most of these salons you have to book ahead of time. They get booked far ahead of time sometimes, especially on the weekends.

Tinder is alive and well. My bro just came down from USA and used it. He scored a dinner date and has another date with the same girl this week. She is smoking hot.

I'm sure you want this to happen Avocado. You and your Peronista friends will be marching to the beat of this anthem with posters of CFK.

Imagine having your destiny determined by folks who can't even come up with a good excuse to get out of jury duty. Hilarious, right? Like, "Hey, let's entrust our lives to the geniuses who couldn't dodge serving on a jury!" Classic move, isn't it?

I'm not completely sold on this idea. A lot of the folks who voted for Milei were already living a pretty libertarian lifestyle before he and his ideas showed up. They had long ditched the idea of the state meddling in their daily lives, not just as some abstract ideal, but in real actions...

I just read an excellent book on firearms. I bought it on Mercado Libre. It is about carrying concealed weapons. Title: LA PORTACION OCULTA SI O NO? In the realm of firearms ownership and concealed carry, a comprehensive guide emerges in the Spanish language titled "La Portación Oculta: Sí o...

Let me tell you guys one thing. Someone is a “filmmaker” if they make films. If they sit around and pretend to be a filmmaker and pocket the taxpayers money without any films or without any artistic merits, then it’s a different story. But, I completely disagree with the museums are not funded...

Guess what? So tons of unions have totally scored some extra sweet deals for December wages – we're talking a whopping 40% extra! Picture this: at this super-unionized company I'm in the know about, the mid-level employees are going from, like, $500 USD (that's ARS488k in monopoly currency) to a...

Yes, I always thought it was very boring here for tourists if they were just going to a restaurant. Each time we have a friend that has friends in town during the holidays we always invite them to our NYE celebration.

This is a great write up! Thanks for taking the time to share it. I like going there with my son and he will ride his skateboard. We will drink some mate and typically get a choripan. It's a good cheap escape.

This is good advice! Although I have had a DNI for many years and married to a local, I usually bring in a lot of stuff and I do as @Betsy Ross said and I act like a dumb American. I show my passport and although I am fluent just say, "no hablo Español" in the world accent possible. They...

EXACTLY correct. I'm not sure how someone can honestly ask or state, "I'm not sure whose fault this is". LOL. Very comical to pretend you don't know who is at fault. If you can't do the time, don't do the crime. CFK and Kiciloff did a LOT of crimes! Now the Argentines are doing the "time".

Great list! I made it a New Year's resolution to watch more Argentine flix this year so this post is timely. Thanks!

Funny! I didn't understand this post but then I saw a post talking about Aussieland talking in the third person on the old forum. I'm a bit confused if Aussieland is really Alby? I didn't know if s/he was joking or not about not being Aussieland. One thing unless I'm imagining is the # of...

Yikes! I can't imagine living in the USA again. Too damn expensive!

Ha, ha. A few years old but most of your complaints @earlyretirement still exist today! But Thank God for Mercado Libre!

Thanks for posting the rates! I contacted them before via email and never heard back on rates. They seem quite reasonable.

Yep, I haven't used it but my friends into crypto were using it earlier this year. I just asked my friend from the UK about it and here is the email he responded back. Yo Howie! Yes I used Bitso quite a bit when I visited you. It's like a virtual wallet for crypto stuff. You can use it to...

People should be leaving at least 10% and 15% if the staff was very good. You're free to leave more if you want. I seriously doubt the restaurant staff would demand or expect that from locals. Many locals are very cheap which is too bad. I think there are several personas of Expats that are...
