So let me get this straight, its Liberation Day in Argentina and the bad old CEPO is totally lifted and you can now exchange Pesos and Dollars without limit at your bank and so we can finally say good bye to the Blue Dollar? However at the same time you can only change or withdrawal $100 per...

It is very disappointing to see that Milei has joined the caste of Argentina’s longest running tragicomic reality show, now running for 79 uninterrupted years. The show jumped the shark many years ago and became farcical, but there was some hope among fans that Milei would do what he was elected...

Today, an Argentinian relaxing on a Brazilian beach or shopping in a Chilean shopping mall has reason to be happy and content. The days of “deme-dos” have finally returned for the Argentine traveling abroad. Only a year ago Argentina’s economy was deeply troubled, a weak peso, runaway inflation...

Like it or not, and despite the polemics expressed here by expat non voters, Milie was clearly the overwhelming choice of the Argentine people. Milie won the most popular votes ever by an Argentine presidential candidate and only Juan Peron won a greater percentage of the presidential vote. That...

Argentina, often deservedly, receives a lot of negative comments on this forum. Unfortunately, many institutions of Argentina perform well below world standards, but, from time to time, when Argentina does something well, it can be at a top world class level, such as fútbol, Teatro Colon or...

Why not join? Argentina has always upheld the founding five principles of a BRICS country in spirit and practice: Bloviation, Repression, Irredentism, Corruption and Socialism.

It is heartening to see from the comments how well so many expats have so adapted into and integrated with Argentine society’s prescient socio political world view. Clearly the cabal of Yanqui politicians that have historically schemed and sabotaged to keep Argentina from its rightful place...

If you like German culture, Villa General Belgrano, is a mini Bariloche with chocolate shops and microbreweries. It is where the sailors from the Adm. Graf Spee settled in Argentina as well as where Kurt Tank, Germany's WWII top fighter plane designer also called home after the war.

If you like small towns, La Cumbre (and neighboring towns) in the Sierras de Córdoba. It used to be premier Anglo-Argentine hill town resort for the railway expats, after WWII, the British did a comprehensive survey of the best places to live in the world and La Cumbre was in the top 5. After...

thank you

Can anyone recommend a good and reasonable dermatologist or dermatological clinic for non-insured patients? Language is not an issue, CABA or northern suburbs, if possible.

I helping a friend sell his classic luxury apartment near the Alvear Hotel. The apartment was bought fully furnished in the classic high quality “baroque” Argentine style and was rented out fully furnished as a European embassy residence for several years. The apartment has a office library...

Mc Kenna, I applaud your rising consciousness, you have made the first step forward by acknowledging systematic expat privilege (expatism) and asking the right questions, namely how an expat can become an ally to the systematically historically oppressed and marginalised victims of expat...

Thank you Camel, I fully agree with your point!

Reparations are an excellent idea, just and fair! It is obvious to any non-racist, thinking human that any Argentine of African or Indigenous decent has been historically oppressed and they and their descendants should be fairly compensated by the Argentine government for the historic pain...
