You might want to check out La Librería Del Ávila in San Telmo. It's not just a great spot for books, but also an experience, it’s one of the oldest bookstores in the city, and stepping inside feels like a journey through time. You’ll find a wide range of titles there, and it’s the perfect place...

Looks like Trump is the new Perón, huh? 😆 First, it’s "America First," and now he wants to take away the best beef in the world from Americans... What’s next? A political party to abolish barbecues? I mean, no one’s saying U.S. beef is bad, but Argentine beef... that’s on a whole other level...

Just a heads up, there’s a general strike on Thursday. It will likely disrupt flights, public transport, banks, government offices, and various other services. Make sure to plan ahead...

I highly recommend Slow Dental in Microcentro! I had an amazing experience there. It's a modern, top-notch dental practice, and they really take care of you. The staff speaks great English too, which made everything easier. If you need help, you can reach them on WhatsApp at +54 9 11 2331-5226...

That’s what happens when you visit the best wineries in Mendoza. Winemakers has a location in Recoleta, I’m pretty sure you’ll find what you’re looking for there. https://maps.app.goo.gl/Bk5jsKaYnaLABUiD7

I paid around 12K for a jacket last year, so I guess that's the new average now 🥲. I ended up just buying a washer/dryer to save myself from these insane prices!

Hey! The school year in Argentina runs from March to December, so the timing can be a bit tricky when coming from a British system. Since your son would be halfway through Year 8 in Europe by the time you move, most schools here will likely place him in the equivalent grade based on his age...

I’d definitely recommend Villa del Parque! It’s a super chill residential neighborhood with lots of trees and parks, and it’s pretty well connected. It’s got that classic Buenos Aires feel but without the crazy crowds of places like Palermo. Also, prices are way more reasonable. Not a touristy...

Good news (or at least it seems like it)! Starting with a Decree to be published in the coming days in the Official Gazette, tariffs on clothing and footwear will drop from 35% to 20%. There will also be reductions on fabrics and yarns. The question is: will this actually reflect in the final...

It's definitely a complex issue. On one hand, cheaper imports can help control prices for consumers, but on the other, they are hurting local producers who can't compete. The case of tomatoes is a clear example, and in the long run, it could be negative if local production collapses. Finding a...

Hey! Yes, on Reconquista Street the bars usually celebrate St. Patrick's Day, there are always shows and 2x1 drinks. I think that's in Retiro, It's definitely one of the classic spots to go for St. Patrick's Day in BA.

The costs are definitely much higher than in Southeast Asia, but the language is easier with its Latin roots, and you don’t stick out like a sore thumb as you do in many parts of Asia. Plus, scamming tourists isn’t as widespread as in Southeast Asia (not that it doesn’t happen, but for example...

At least there's good news regarding the electricity price hike; the government has halted the increase scheduled for February. It was set to take place during a month of high seasonal consumption due to the summer's high temperatures, so it's good to know that for now, there won't be any...

Despite this decline, beef remains a fundamental part of Argentine cuisine and culture. Many Argentinians continue to buy it, albeit in reduced quantities, reflecting its ongoing importance in the country’s eating habits. Sunday family barbecues are still sacred to locals.

Yes, it's incredible. Here's a video showing the meteor streaking across the sky. It was even reported that a meteorite broke through the roof of a house, amazing! It's fascinating how these rare events can be captured in real time by security cameras and other devices.

Anyone with the Mercado Pago app can also add credit. The locals are usually very friendly, so you could ask someone to top up for you and then give them the cash for the amount you want to add. I don’t think it’s a bad idea, as most people here use Mercado Pago.

You'll be fine, but as others mentioned, make sure the second laptop isn’t in its original packaging. It should look like it's already in use, like your second computer. I entered with two laptops and a tablet just three months ago, and they didn’t ask me anything. Just mentioning that it’s for...

This same union carried out a train strike today, originally scheduled from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. However, to the surprise of early morning commuters, the strike began much earlier, and by 6:30 a.m., the trains were no longer running. How long will they keep up this pressure...

Just checked my statement, and indeed, I also have two amounts that are duplicated.:eek:

Taxis do that all the time. You're better off with Uber or Didi.
