Fires sound like they are rare but I guess they do happen. Just saw this fire in Retiro in the news. Not sure something like that happens. Looks like the water tank.

This is a great article. Thanks for sharing. I agree with this. I used to buy designer luxury purses and shoes. I used to think there what was important but once I flipped my thinking on what is important, my life greatly improved and simplified.

It does seem like everyone in migracones is either corrupt or just lazy or both. At least with all these layoffs and the government downsizing maybe these employees will actually try to help people or lose their jobs. Are immigration lawyers just paying bribes to migraciones staff? What...

Seems the classic case of two type A personalities. Both very strong personalities and neither side wants to back down. That type of scenario usually doesn’t end well.

Agree with this. I think locals are shocked at just how inefficient things are for foreigners too. They know it’s red tape for them but somehow they think we would have it easier. Plus some of my friends here see everyone from Venezuela and Colombia that can legally live and work here and...

Are there many electric vehicles in Argentina? I never see any.

A very wise choice to skip the trip to Mexico. https://mldiario.com/por-que-milei-cancelo-su-presentacion-en-la-cpac-de-mexico/

@MickMolloy , I have bought shoes at the New Balance store in Palermo SoHo. Sometimes they have good discounts there. Still more expensive than the US but if you catch a good deal it’s not too bad. Same shoes you get in the States. Mine lasted long.

But how would you compare it to food in Scotland or London. I’ve been there and thought the food was very mediocre there. I admit some of the food here is a bit bland but many dishes here are quite delicious. What I am not too thrilled at is quality of items in the supermarkets here...

I think they already do this with Brazil. Probably a good thing.

Thank you @StatusNomadicus! Your posts are detailed and really seem unbiased and based on reality. I have been here several months and prices have stabilized. As you said there were times when tuna was impossible to find or people were price gouging. Hopefully that is over with. Things...

Most of these platforms are shady. The only one I think isn’t in bed with the government is X. I don’t think Elon can be bought.

What city did your friend move to? Sounds like he moved just a little while ago. That was quick!

Yes Don Julio has tourists that will pay any price. I do think the steaks there are wonderful. I went with some friends in town that wanted to go and had reservation for 2 months. It was all tourists mostly speaking English at all the tables around me. Wine prices there marked up. On some...

It’s not required at all. I have visited twice and was not required at all. I think some might recommend it but not required. I heard of some harsh side effects and my doctor told me not to get one unless it was absolutely required by the country. He said there was a very low incidence rate.

Thanks @FuturoBA! I heard there are a lot of these false bills floating around. My friend visiting got stuck with a few. Tourists don’t know the difference too well.

To be fair he didn’t “ditch” the VP. That headline makes it sound like he fired her. Actually Milei initially defended Enzo. The song is inappropriate and glad Milei apologized.

Many people I know have cut back on buying clothes during this recession. I have a few friends that normally fly to Miami once a year but they are skipping out on trips this year trying to just pay bills and save up a bit.

This is true. My friends that do consulting work and on monitributo tell me that they are getting scrutinized a lot on how they are paying for things. Anyone that is trying to say the government doesn’t care about undeclared income is wrong. Government is desperate for tax revenue.

Yes this type of thing is common. Some people get offended and some just laugh it off. I have a friend from Japan that comes to visit me and at first she got offended when they just always would call her a chino. But then she just realized that Argentines have their own way. Argentines are the...
