Wanted to make sure you all had this (unlocked) article. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/world/americas/argentina-crypto-scandal-president.html?unlocked_article_code=1.0U4.6w7D.o2g0TGAt8uwY&smid=url-share

Noting this old thread. Realizing that local laws may differ, I do sometimes take photos in public places, with respect but not always asking permission, as that makes street photography impossible. I see the link but don't think it applies. Many of my images include a small figure that is...

Just some minor thoughts after 3 weeks in Palermo, Plaza Italia, Recoleta and Nunez. The many little confusions were opportunities to learn. Didn't really engage with my medical tourism plan because of the exchange rate/overvalued peso. Not urgent. Walked through both big cemeteries (the free...

I don't know specifically but just want to add that in Philadelphia an acupuncturist did help my ongoing (night time) leg pain in 2 sessions. So I hope you find someone!

Yup, I'll stop by as well. Paul

Hope but not expecting this will bring benefits to others besides bitcoin bros and other true believers. Meanwhile, why do stores add to the price if you use a (US) credit or debit card? Is there a set amount they add and do they all do this (if so, they dont all mention it.. Back in...

Congratulations! Glad to know. Last year I had some crowns recemented (so far so good) with a good price at the humble but friendly Transendental Clinic on Olazabel & Cabildo. However this year, because of exchange rates, I probably won't get veneers done here as I had considered.

Did Paraguay require a prescription? If so, was criteria difficult? Was in vial form or was it for injection? Thanks...

Wow that's really helpful & interesting. Thanks!!! I wonder if the winding roads feel safe. If I go that route I thought it would be 7 or 8 hours from Mendoza to Santiago are buses and minivans equally safe? Yeah, I'm a bit squeamish about heights... though in years past I've been on some high...

Any availability of GLP 1 medications, if so does it require prescription & how is price? USA seems to have alot of online workarounds for Ozempic and all the others...but prices & fees can add up. Haven't tried yet.

Any buses to Santiago via/from Mendoza that are preferable? Price these days?

Are there cheap Urgent Care centers as we have in the USA? They fill that niche for simple issues; sprains, broken bones, colds, infections.... and avoid the circus of trauma that an urban E.R. can be.

Here is a "gift article" on expat life from Paul Theroux. Some is interesting... https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/05/opinion/america-expat-living-abroad.html?unlocked_article_code=1.m04.MYUF.s5zR-lXKvnFi&smid=url-share Paul "Adem"

Lol Not exactly glamorous but pleasant. For many years I got my dental implants in the Domenican Republic which really was cheap. Once also in Mexico (an across the border thing) that was amazingly cheap, but Ciudad Juarez was in a state of siege, police with masks on everywhere and you...
