    How can the food here be so bad ?

    Yes, only barrio chino has Asian vegetables like Chinese broccoli (chelan), water spinach, snap peas, etc. I also miss supermarkets in the US especially Costco :ROFLMAO:

    How can the food here be so bad ?

    How about this one? Water spinach has arrived and I suppose it's still early in the season that's why it's quite expensive. Last year early in the season cost around 2,000ish pesos and later on 1,400-1,600 pesos. This year I found one bunch cost around 6,000 a few weeks ago but now down to 4,800...

    How can the food here be so bad ?

    I never ordered Milanesa here because a couple of times that I did, it was always dry. I never liked empanadas so much until probably this past year that I found one or two places that make them better than what I previously had but each empanada or canastita costs around 2000-3000 pesos and...

    How can the food here be so bad ?

    The food options here, in my opinion, are quite limited. I can't do pizza, pasta, empanada or milenesa every day and eating out has been quite expensive. That's why I cook almost every day. Beef panang curry, anyone? ;)

    Wooohoooo!!!!! One PR down, one to go!

    I only know the procedures I've gone through personally. But seriously, without my Argentine partner's help, I could not have done it especially when you deal with Migraciones. It's just so random.

    Wooohoooo!!!!! One PR down, one to go!

    Sure enough after I checked back a few min ago, now it's in 'Embalaje' stage. There must have been a glitch in the system. I hope my friend will finally get her DNI this time.

    Comical reading BAexpats.org Threads!

    I guess 'private' means nothing or has a total different meaning in their book. 🤷‍♀️

    Comical reading BAexpats.org Threads!

    My account there was suspended to read-only for a while after I sent a private message to one prominent member about this new forum. Go figure!

    Visas How complicated is it to obtain residency in Argentina?

    @Vince This is the latest citizenship procedure. A few of my friends are doing it now. They slightly changed the procedure. Last year when I started the procedure, I had to bring all the docs in person and they did the scanning for you before giving you the expediente number containing Juzgado...

    Wooohoooo!!!!! One PR down, one to go!

    @StatusNomadicus My expediente became 'resuelto' on Feb 9 and by Mar 3 I received the plastic DNI in my hand. My friend's expediente became 'resuelto' on Aug 19 and now more than a month later it is still showing 'Migraciones esta analizando tu tramite'. So, you're not alone. I don't know what's...

    Wooohoooo!!!!! One PR down, one to go!

    I'm not surprised really. I remember submitting the same documents twice too. I think I mentioned it in one of my posts about PR. I check my friend's IDtramite for her every day but it still shows 'Migraciones esta analizando tu tramite'. I don't remember my IDtramite being analizado that long...

    Newcomer Tina & Co in BA

    @Vero @Larry Guess what? I bought that same brand of coconut milk from a Chinese Dietetica near my house for 3,300 a pop last week (the cheapest in barrio chino I found of the same brand was 3450) and on Sat I went back to the same Dietetica and the price already went up to 3,700/can LOL. Well...

    Medical Dental implant in CABA

    They kinda explained roughly that after the extraction I need to wait 3 months and see if I need the bone graft but it looks like I didn't so that's why they already put the titanium post into my jawbone last month. Now I think the hard part is over. From what I researched online, the next step...

    Medical Dental implant in CABA

    I'm still in the process. After the tooth extraction, I had to wait 3 months. About 3 weeks ago I went in for the procedure. They drilled my jaw and put in the titanium implant. Now I have to wait a few more months. My next appointment is in the beginning of Dec. The thing is they don't really...
