Gotta hand it to Argentina. I didn't think they would pay. Thought they would default. Milei celebrates as Argentina pays US$4.3 billion to bondholders https://www.batimes.com.ar/news/economy/milei-celebrates-as-argentina-pays-us43-billion-to-bondholders.phtml

There aren't too many highrises in Palermo Soho at all because of the zoning. There are a few high buildings but typically not that high. Over in Palermo Hollywood there are more highrises. Being 25 floors up definitely would cut down on noise no matter where in the city you are in.

Seems like a great exchange rate. Hopefully more and more stores will do the same thing. I thought there would be a bigger spread on the blue and white dollar but I guess the government is heavily intervening. If they stopped that, the rate would probably explode upwards.

Only in Argentina would you have headlines like this. Milei’s dogs off limits to public inquiry, Treasury Prosecutor rules https://buenosairesherald.com/politics/mileis-dogs-off-limits-to-public-inquiry-treasury-prosecutor-rules

Agreed. I understand if they want to give some discount to people that are poor but I still don't understand why they need my details to ride the subway and if I don't give them I have to pay a higher price. Doesn't make sense to me?

Oxford Reference Definition: An ill‐defined Argentinian political ideology, also known as justicialismo, which espouses Juan Perón's policies of social justice, economic nationalism, and international non‐alignment. It remained strong within Argentina after Perón's departure in 1955, largely...

You sound like you have a cushy job to go back to in the USA but many people don't. I have lots of friends struggling there. There's this oh-so-thriving "very low income middle class" that's practically living the dream, trying to make ends meet. They're playing this exciting game of survival...

I went to Guayaquil for work quite a bit before. I'm sorry but that city is a dump! Very very very ugly city. No way in hell I'd live there. Quito is not as ugly but still NO Buenos Aires. But then again no city is. I doubt I could ever leave Buenos Aires. No city would compare to me.

Recently, my sister in law conducted an interview at Islands International School situated in Belgrano. Her favorable impressions emanate from its bilingual curriculum, structured around the International Baccalaureate (IB) program. This distinctive approach entails half-day instruction in...

Well this is either going to end up really really good for Argentina or really really not so good. Time will tell.

I agree! I only need to come to ExpatsBA for all my Milei news! Ha. Well this is either going to end up really really good for Argentina or really really bad.

The Blue Dollar won't stay in parity or close like this with the official for long. Do you really think I a few months the blue dollar isn't going to skyrocket? What you are seeing is only temporary. If you have USD you will see your buying power go back up. But true it won't help the locals...

The Milei Derangement Syndrome appears to be causing some to fixate on the issue of black robes rather than acknowledging the core objective, which is the implementation of jury trials. It's intriguing how Milei faces criticism for both offering insufficient details and providing an excess of...

Not noticing cheaper beef or chicken. I see prices higher, but we've been on the hunt for exterior paint to paint our house for like 2 weeks. Every quote we got was sky-high, and then out of the blue, one supplier hits us with a new quote that's 35% cheaper than the last one. And their big...

Ha. I agree. My inlaws all have houses up in San Isidro and Tigre area. Nice area but too far out for me. My wife's family has a few houses up there. 1 of them is completely empty! And 1 they only use on the weekends. The amount of wealth in Argentina would blow some people's minds.

This is one of my favorite shows as well. I love watching Argentine shows where they are using slang, I can learn dirty words and people swearing. That to me is real. I love seeing real life city life of Buenos Aires. I hate the fake series as Netflix wants you to see things of only the rich...

Come on man! Are you realy trying to seriously argue that if President Milei doesn't reach an agreement with Elon Musk to extract valuable lithium from Argentina it wouldn't mean tremendous benefits for Argentina and the nation? You are trying to argue that no jobs would be created? That...

I have gone out hunting with my boys in some nice areas but all without any internet at all. This is a game changer for much of Argentina with no access at all. Many hunting lodges and estancias will now have blazingly fast Internet. Does anyone know the Internet speeds that Starlink will...

To most people that have common sense you should be able to see that Milei is the first President Argentina has ever had that truly loves his country and wants to set it up for future success. YES, it's going to get more difficult in the short-term but this change although painful is necessary...

I think Milei is doing GREATTT!!!
