There is a very efficient Bolivian consulate in Once, very close to the railroad station. I was there a few years ago for some key paperwork, and it all got done very quickly. I was impressed. About three years ago, I flew into Santa Cruz de la Sierra with a US passport, and they issued a visa...

For years, I had to pay $150 dollars for accountants to prepare my declaracion jurada for Bienes Personales. I always thought it was a lot of money for what seemed a simple tax return, but I had no time or idea how to do it, so I paid. This year, I prepared it myself. Quite a headache, but I...

Contact the British hospital in Buenos Aires. I am sure they can help you. Good luck https://www.hospitalbritanico.org.ar/

Wait a moment! My grandparents came from the Genova area. They, and my mom, spoke Xeneize, not Italian. It was one of the dialects of Italy. My grandfather from dad's side came to Argentina, also from Genova, but his three sisters went to San Francisco; my mom's parents ended up being farmers in...

Places as recommended by perry are outstanding. A good cup of coffee should be made with about 18 grams of coffee, and the machine should pour one ounce in around 30 seconds, and water should filter thru at a certain temperature. Only a handful of coffee shops follow these rules. Enjoy coffee!

Thank you, The Donald, for your excellent explanation. Now I realize why Uber's in BA make me wait ten minutes, and then cancels. As usual, Argentine's have figured out how to cheat the system for their own gain.

I love Uber in the Sates. I don’t use it anymore here. The service is run by crooks inBA. I have ordered the service to and from Ezeiza, wait the usual ten minutes and then realize that the driver cancels me at last moment. Order a new one, wait ten more minutes and get cancelled again. Twice I...

Which of Sandleris & Macri's policies are beneficial? That depends on whether you believe high inflation is very good, or very bad for an economy, and for a nation's general public. Let me know your answer. Then, I may answer depending on your answer.

Who knows what the actual value will be. However, if this guy Sandleris at Banco Central continues in his job, and he continues to receive the political support he has gotten so far, there is no way we'll see another run. Sandleris reminds me of tough Paul Volcker. Sandleris is the first guy, in...

Are prices overvalued in Buenos Aires? Short answer: perhaps, but not that much. Long answer: below is why. Residential real estate prices are mainly affected by three variables: location, price and terms. Looking at prices in BA now, we can ignore the location part because that's very specific...

I forgot. If you sell at a 20% discount, you’ll still have to pay another 10% to 15% in swellings fees, taxes, etc. So, you sell your apartment that you think ow worth for 20% less, and another 10% in selling fees and you end up with $540,000. Wow.

Let’s do some math. Assume I own a 133 meter2 in prime location in Recoleta. Assume it was worth last year $700000 dollars and now, because I want to sell it, take off 20% as si many of you are implying. That’s a haircut of $140,0000. What does it cost if i continue to own? Abl taxes, utilities...

Traditional economic theory indicates that a very effective way to lower inflation is to raise interest rAtes so they are very positive. In turn this causes a severe recession. This is exactly what’s happening in Argentina. Will these sky high rates drop inflation rates?. Maybe, maybe not, and...

Sorry to completely disagree with you. If you are good men and women as you say, these would not be in the Argentine armed forces. Only bad bad people join that horrendous organization. You say they have no power? They are power hungry individuals that will stop at nothing to satisfy their...

Outstanding video. Thanks for sharing it. I always thought the Argentine military were the worst of that society; really bad. Still are. One of my dreams is that one day Argentina will have no army, just like Costa Rica.

The limit now is $500 dollars.

I could not get good wifi in different rooms of our apartment. I then bought several Google Mesh pods, and the problem was solved. Eero has a similar system. Hope this helps.

I hired an architect that did the plans, hired and supervised all the crews. He did the work in Buenos Aires while I was away in California. I was as satisfied as can be, given that it was totally not involved. If you want his contact, send me an email to [email protected]

When I was 24, and married, I lived with my wife, with my parents, in their home. So did my bachelor brother. That’s one way we got by. And when we were finally able to buy our own place, it was only 300 ft2. Tiny but ours. It’s amazing how you can enjoy life with little. Now that I have a lot...

The only thing inevitable is death. The economy can stay in the dumps, or it can get better. What will happen? Time will say, in the meantime, avoid the inevitable for as long as possible.
