Yikes! That is terrible. But while I was in BA a friend of a friend said their car was also recently stolen. He said a lot of them make their way across the border but not sure if they are sold or used for parts. I didn't see that many police at all around. For such a big city I thought there would be more police officers.I mentioned a few months ago that my partner's police officer sister was robbed at gunpoint and her car was taken. Guess what? Last month, the same thing happened to my partner's brother in law while he was driving Didi. People don't rob your car like that where I come from. And here two people in my family got their cars robbed within the span of 3 months like it's normal. It's so true about what you mentioned about what happened in Miami during the ball game 🤣🤣🤣
The furthest I went out was Ramos Mejia which wasn't too bad but I heard it could get very sketchy past that. I just looked on a map where Isidro Casanova was and it looks to be a ways from that. Zone of the "walking dead" does not sound nice! Is that where your partner lives? @Jakoval, Why stay in Argentina? Was there any thought to living in Thailand instead with your partner?
I have been to Thailand several times. Things work well there. My friend fell and broke his leg and we had to go to the hospital and I was amazed how friendly, efficient and affordable it was. I like Buenos Aires but I am not sure if I would like living in the zone of the walking dead.
Funny what you mentioned about 7-11 opening here! I thought the same thing. Although I guess with all the import restrictions a slurpee would be $10 USD here.
