    Worst things about Buenos Aires besides dog poop?

    Agreed. I'm not overly complaining but it is good to be objective and talk about negative things too about a city and not just positive. I hate that electronics are so expensive. I have lost my Airpods before and crazy expensive. I had my iPhone stolen once at a bar. I set it down and my...

    Comical reading BAexpats.org Threads!

    I had no idea there was an old forum. I just got a message from @Cariba asking me if my post was copied from the old forum. I told her absolutely not. It was a simple post on my experiences going to a dermatologist. I guess some old member on the forum freaked out as I went to the same...

    Thank you for this! I was wondering why I couldn't register my card. I tried on the Sube app but it wouldn't work and I can't getting an error message. This must explain it. Now I know.

    Can anyone recommend an English-speaking Dermatologist in Buenos Aires for acne?

    I also don't have any insurance but I paid out of pocket. I went last month to Hospital Alemán (German Hospital) and asked for a referral to an English-speaking dermatologist. I saw Dr. Alejandra Anabel Panizzardi. Her English was excellent! I paid 23,000 pesos for the initial consultation...

    Love Advice - Fell in love with an escort in Buenos Aires - Is it real love?

    As someone that recently just got married I say ignore the haters. Doesn't matter how you met. The important thing is that you met. Don't rush into anything. Take your time. You don't have to figure everything out quickly. It took me 6 years to convince my hubby to marry me! Trust me, I...

    Food & Drink Are there any good quality seafood restaurants in Buenos Aires? Most are poor quality and blah

    I tried this place over near Palermo Chico and it was very good. I had the pulpo which was very fresh and perfectly cooked which is not always easy to do. Literally everything we had was amazing! It's called Mero. Google Maps https://maps.app.goo.gl/LFDLKqq3LkzZtp7u9

    Newcomer What are some good movies to watch on Netflix to learn Spanish and watch some of the local culture that feature Buenos Aires?

    So I am trying to get fluent. I speak decent Spanish but I've found the more I practice with my local friends the better I'm getting. I also try to watch movies in Spanish. Can any of you recommend some good movies to watch on Netflix or maybe another steaming platform? I'd really appreciate...

    Fun Bachelorette Party in Buenos Aires

    Yikes! I just saw you just got married! I'm NOT sure this is a good idea! I've found my Argentine female friends here all have a more casual attitude about relationships. Several of my local girlfriends cheat on their husbands. I'm not sure this is a good way to start out a relationship. Or...

    Help! I'm getting married to an Argentine and have my permanent resident interview after marriage. What evidence is needed?

    THANK YOU! This helps and these are all very easy questions with the exception of my spouse's brothers and sisters names as he isn't close to them and I never met them. This is helpful! Congrats.

    Help! I'm getting married to an Argentine and have my permanent resident interview after marriage. What evidence is needed?

    I'm getting ready to go through this process too so I'd also appreciate the questions they asked! I'm straight-up legit getting married but but would be so nervous they asked questions that we didn't know the answers to!
