Blue and crypto dollar are paring its loss from 10% at its peak to about 5%. Remember there is still 30% annual inflation. That is massive all things considered.

Good summary in The Washington Post. https://archive.ph/5NDp6

Crazy to think the blue dollar went up even though Bessent said he would double the support. Everyone knows a devaluation is probably coming. That is all everyone is saying after the elections. No one knows for sure but I read some investment bank said if the election doesn't go good it could...

Love Istanbul. Last time I went it was very cheap but now I hear it has gotten much more expensive. Something tells me inflation will start going back up after the election. But so will the blue dollar so as long as the blue dollar goes up more that is a plus for me although bad for locals.

The problem in this country is every politician no matter which side they are on is stealing. One can argue no one can compare to Cristina but honestly I think if Karina Milei was given enough time in office she might give Cristina a run for her money. I have heard nothing but terrible things...

I did not realize just how bad things were. Just goes to show you how quickly things can turn. I guess the miracle story of the turn around in Argentina wasn't a miracle after all. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/world/americas/milei-argentina-economy.html

I wouldn't worry. It has NOT passed yet. It is going through the Senate and I don't think it will pass. Trump said it will pass by July 4. Let's see.

Agree this could be problematic but shift seems to be happening. And many locals support it. Read the comments section. It might not be so difficult to get support for this if it is the will of the people. Many are tired of foreigners. Not so much tourists but the Mercosur countries and other...

Thanks @FuturoBA. I went to a few of these things to this blog and very good!

Wow do you spend a lot of money dining out. Looks good.

Oh boy just what we needed. Another holiday! Seems like every few weeks there is a big holiday here with multiple days off.

The latest tourism numbers are here. https://www.indec.gob.ar/uploads/informesdeprensa/eti_03_25229FFD5D4D.pdf

Looks nice and that isn't bad at all those prices. I will have to check it out.

Agree everywhere should have bodycams. That way no he said she said.

Being denied entry is not the same as being deported. Anyone who is not a citizen or legal resident of Argentina may be refused entry at the sole discretion of an immigration officer. Deportation, on the other hand, applies to individuals who are already legally within Argentina’s borders and...

The power is out in Colegiales the past few hours. Annoying.

It is falling like a rock now that the IMF is close to giving more funds.

Well those that Milei doesn't fire end up quitting. The 121st official to leave their post. Quite a lot for 13 months. https://www.batimes.com.ar/news/argentina/argentinas-top-environment-official-resigns-post.phtml

I think Milei is finding out the Bromance is over. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2025-02-14/trump-s-tariffs-will-hit-milei-s-argentina-hard

Correct. The only restriction on principaiantes for 2 years is 0 level limit on blood alcohol. Also not to drive on highways for 6 months but no one enforces that. It sounds like you do things by the book @Darksider415 and a great write up but most people skip this part of Apostille hassles and...
