    Learning Spanish

    I have found Dreaming Spanish (a website) very good, and affordable. You can filter for what variant of Spanish you want to watch videos in, and they have quite a few from an Argentinian. I also listen to the Mexican and Columbian videos. Edit: it's based on a method called Comprehensive Input...

    Travel Agent Recommendations

    Hi everyone, Are there any Travel Agents that you can recommend for a trip from BA to the South? Also does anyone have experience of using & paying these agencies from outside Argentina? We are visiting in May and would like to arrange an internal trip before we arrive. Thank you!

    Seat Belts

    Hi guys, Can anyone help me to understand the lack of seat belts here, both in private vehicles and many taxis? Is there a cultural reason for this, or regulatory loophole maybe? Haven't been able to get comfortable with it yet and would love to understand why its like this.

    Rental Law Will be Repealed Tomorrow, by Decree

    Blue Dollar with AirBnb Host

    I think you would need to find a way to contact the Airbnb host and get them agree to rent it to you outside of the platform for cash? This would obviously mean you don't have the (limited) protection that Airbnb offers guests of course

    Locating cueva

    Fair point, I am currently located here for work. Is there anywhere off Florida street you'd recommend for USDT in particular?

    Locating cueva

    Hey folks, New to the forum, and to Buenos Aires! Amazed at all the great content which is on here. What's the safest way for an ex-pat to locate a safe cueva for converting from crypto USDT into Pesos? Around the San Telmo area if possible. I'm wary of picking the wrong place and walking...
