I have heard about some people living in Argentina for long periods of time without accessing from the USA and asked to verify their USA address. I'm not sure if using the VPN was the issue but sounds like some are cracking down on this. I haven't had any issues at all using VPN. I am using...

This is strange behavior. I went back and read some of your posts @TonyTigre and all your posts are well written and respectful. Seems strange to antagonize members but it doesn't sound like this behavior is changing. Judging from posts this has been going on for years.

Very classy move on the King's part.

Try getting Asado del Centro. That is the absolute best to me.

Easily the best bakery in BA. Although I am not happy if word gets out and it is even tougher to get my bread here.

Not sure the last time you were here but over the last few months it has been extreme. I just left BA and in the US now visiting my kids and here in Florida it feels like prices are the same at the grocery store vs. BA. Many things are actually less expensive than BA. I haven't been here in a...

My neighbor reported the same long lines. I think she went to a public hospital. She came down with dengue. Seems like reported infections is really creeping up.

Thank you to everyone that took time to respond. I went to the US Embassy and applied for replacement. All very painless. Thank you.

So I am a fool. I never walk around with my passport unless I am going to Western Union where they require it. I was walking around today and I had it in my front pocket and when I got to the WU I couldn't find it. I must have dropped it or someone stole it from my pocket somehow. I dont'...

Agreed!! I read an actual post the other day where one of the forum members actually thought the old US $100 bills were more desirable than the newer big-head bills. I read that and laughed so hard! Talk about stupid gringos! Ha! https://baexpats.org/threads/big-head-bills.46780/

Normally I would say the truth is usually somewhere in the middle but that's a big difference!!!

I agree! It's good to see great info on soccer. I'm too cheap of a bastard to watch the popular teams. There are a lot of second-tier B and C league teams inside Buenos Aires that probably are just as fun to watch at a fraction of the prices. I'm too cheap of a bastard to watch those too! So...

“What is Peronism?” Speech of 20 August 1948 by Peron: In Congress a few days ago, some of our legislators have asked what Perónism is. Perónism is humanism in action; Perónism is a new political doctrine, which rejects all the ills of the politics of previous times; in the social sphere it is...

I really like Mexico but I agree that it's gotten more expensive. But you can still live there on a budget if you avoid upscale neighborhoods. I've been to Chapala but it's a bit boring for me. Too many ugly Canadians and Americans that don't speak any Spanish even after living there for...

I'm getting really concerned about the rising prices. I just signed the escritura on my new apartment 10 days ago and had to grab some appliances this week. It's a bit nerve-wracking. I ended up getting the absolute minimum in used stuff for now. The thing is, with this new Milei thingy with...

Hey, can someone break down this Blanqueos y Cambios en Bienes Personales thing for me? It's part of the Omnibus law, and it sounds like they're asking all Argentina residents to spill the beans on every asset—local, foreign, cash, crypto, the whole shebang—and tax you on anything over 100k...

I first came to BA in mid 2017 when the peso was like, stable for a while at 15 pesos to $1 US dollars I'll never forget grabbing a cerveza at this cool spot in Palermo Soho – it was just $100 pesos, which was like $6.60 in US dollars. I also picked up a tin of tuna and a block of cheese for...

I check out Perfil, iProfesional, and a bunch more, but I totally ignore the junk Victor Santa María and Cristóbal López spew. Not a fan, and I don't think much of people who fall for it. There's this one person on here who's all about that super biased stuff, and turns out, he's been living in...

I did a quick 2-minute search, and here's what I found. If you're into it, these should kick things off. Just a heads-up on a couple of things:This law is like only three years old. If it was really about saving the environment, it took them forever to make it happen.They dropped this law smack...

Dude, it's totally clear from what you just said that you haven't checked up on the topic. I'm not gonna bother replying here anymore. Later!
