    Tourist questions : Cash for three weeks in BA?

    When I say meal I mean drink and side include. Like the various lunch specials around. I'm sure there are tons of places I don't know about though.

    Tourist questions : Cash for three weeks in BA?

    Can you define "perfectly good?" Do you mean edible and you won't die from it? With the exception burgers meals, I've never experienced a "meal" under 1000 that wasn't terrible. Between 1500 and 2500 you can find really good options if you know the right restaurants. And obviously you find the...

    Tourist questions : Cash for three weeks in BA?

    It's all good. You live and you learn. Sounds like you're taking it in stride. That's great. If you want a surefire recommendation then go to cabaña las lilas in Palermo. Truffle mashed potatoes and a t-bone steak.. fantastic. In my opinion it's the best steakhouse here.

    Yeah that's the "Venice tourist" menu for suckas lol. Go into the restaurant and scan the table menu or get a paper one there. It will have all the options and prices.

    On the menu, if you select "Lunch" it's a 1 price deal with the different options to choose from.

    Tourist questions : Cash for three weeks in BA?

    Hahaha they murdered your tourist ass. This is funny. They charged you cubierto twice?? That doesn't happen even if you have multiple people at the table. At least it's never happened to me. The only thing that could be funnier is if you paid with a foreign credit card. Rule number 1 of...

    Moneygram

    Money gram has a much lower exchange rate for cash pickup. Therefore, if you don't have a bank account it's useless.

    Safe to wear watches?

    What's your point? This can happen anywhere. Should I be afraid of cars because of how many people are killed in accidents each year? So a person in NYC was shot while wearing an expensive watch. Not actually known if he was targeted beforehand. There were probably like a million people in the...

    Safe to wear watches?

    It sounds like you have had some bad experiences even in "developed" countries. I honestly have to chalk it up to bad luck. We can compare that to any other type of unfortunate event. But it now seems that those events have partial control of your decision making. And I think in this situation...

    Safe to wear watches?

    With your last points I agree in general, although I do often wear more expensive clothing. I think this list applies to bad areas no matter what country you're in. And even sporadically in good areas. As far as the first point, depending on where I am, that thought never crosses my mind. If I'm...

    Safe to wear watches?

    I simply don't see the risk being as great as you see it. When I'm in a place like Miami or London or Paris I will 100 percent of the time be wearing at least a Rolex level watch. If I like it, why not? Sure anything can happen anywhere. But it is simply so common to see. I do not put on a watch...

    Safe to wear watches?

    Even in Detroit or Chicago you really have to be in the "wrong" areas. You can 100 percent wear jewelry in many areas in both those cities. It seems like so many people live off of fear. It's one thing if jewelry just isn't appealing to you and isn't your cup of tea. It's another thing of you...

    Safe to wear watches?

    And this is based on what? Chance of violence? personal taste? It can't be based off violence especially since its so common in so many places.. And what do you consider bling? Normally it means lots of diamonds. Flashy jewelry isn't really my style but to say leave it at home no matter where...

    Safe to wear watches?

    Let me first say that this is a neutral post from me. I'm not on either side. With that said, I wonder how often robberies actually happen and how they compare to any similar sized city anywhere else. I see it mentioned over and over here but have only seen reference to the incident with the...

    Google Fi: Your international data roaming will be suspended soon

    Exactly. I have Fi set up on the virtual sim and Personal as the physical sim. I have calls and sms set to Fi and data set to Personal. And it literally takes like 2 seconds to change the settings from the phones drop down menu at any times. It's also cool that you can receive calls and texts...

    Self employed aka Digital Nomad

    I tried to say this in the beginning of the thread but no one wanted to listen. I understand it is a tough situation but you can't just go potentially putting your family in a worse situation. Yes it can be definitely be tough with everything that's going on between Russia and Ukraine. I don't...

    Western Union money transfer

    Ok it all makes sense now. I had the impression that every time I use my DNI I'm treated as a permanent resident. Monthly phone plan, I've already been to 6 of the 11 mercosur countries using the DNI only. Apparently that 1 year window of validity isn't drawing too much attention.
