    Politics Argentina Primary Election Scenario Analysis

    We voted in Campana, organization was Argentina-style: mesas were indicated in chalk on the ground in front of each queue (and so invisible for new arrivals...), voters were called 5 or 10 at a time into the school to queue a second time, here we showed our DNIs, said which "orden" we belonged...

    Situational awareness / the need of vigilance

    oh, I just thought of another one, vigilance! ie: situational awareness! You said Cordoba, don't know if you meant city or state, but regardless, this applies everywhere. Keep you head on a swivel! I don't mean to sound paranoid, but if you're like me, I don't "blend in" everyone on the street...

    This will be part of the CABA government's plan to eliminate inflation 🤣 I do wish they would focus on doing the job they were actually elected to do...

    Visas Denied Digital Nomad Visa - My Experience

    I would argue that if you can avoid a digital nomad visa, i.e. use a tourist visa, you should. Letting a country know you are working there remotely could open a can of worms that may be better left closed/ambiguous

I'd love to meet people who are living here, as I'm considering spending more time in the city over the next few years. Building a network of connections would be immensely comforting. Please...

    Food & Drink Looking for the best "fajitas" in BA

    I'm a "fajitas" fan. Last night I went to a restaurant called Las Cabras (Fitz Roy 1795) and I had THE BEST fajitas I've ever tried. Only for 40 pesos (you all should go!). But I've heard that there are a lot of restaurants like this. Can you tell me where I can go ? Thanks

    Legal Vacations: Labor Law in Argentina

    So as I understand in Argentina they have what they call "vacaciones corridas". I'm entitled to 15 days of vacation, but I'm still trying to understand what these vacaciones corridas imply. What does it mean? Also, does it mean that I need to take 15 days straight of vacation or can I still...

    Economy No dollar purchases (for locals) unless travelling abroad?

    I wish it were so..but the general quality of that mass produced "fresh produce" is what worries me now I'm in my 40s. The rising rate of morbid obesity in US is just a sign that something in the system isn't working, be that farming, education..que se yo. The potential quality of life there is...

    Newcomer Get your pots out for the lads!

    My very Kirchnerista workmate's take on the cacerolazo was that it is the rich crying because they are not allowed dollars - that these rich expect us (the poor, downtrodden) to go without essentials like food, etc so that they can keep up their habit of buying dollars and travelling freely...
