Actually you almost ever see accidents here. I have driven cars in the city, and its a delicate ballet, but 99% of the time everybody gently dodges. I have ridden bikes in the bike lanes, and its fine. Riding on the streets of LA or NYC is much scarier.

There are tons of copy shops. google "copias cerca de mi".

Having never been "christian" in any way shape or sense, I am neither pre nor post. My ancestors from northern Finland actually believed a Blacksmith created the universe... But I live part time on a farm in the USA, for 30 years, and part time in Buenos Aires, for 17 years. And in my time in...

even the French wine industry, which is pretty hidebound, is open about admitting that climate change is changing the way French wine tastes, increasing the alcohol content, and that the future will require changing varieties...

If Milei wanted to emulate the Norwegians, I would have no problem with it. But he doesnt. https://www.norskpetroleum.no/en/economy/governments-revenues/

So you are saying that Chevron contributed greatly to Venezuela, but Maduro just stole all their work? color me dubious. Chile is a one product country- copper is a huge amount of the national income. And it is not evenly distributed, nor has it eliminated poverty or built a modern utopia. The...

"the environment should be at the service of the economy". notice that in the ideology of Milei, "the economy" is not the citizens. 1st world natural resources "investors" have such a good track record, of despoiling the environment, hiring non-resident workers, and exporting all profits- just...

That has not been my experience. Virtually all my friends are argentine, not expats. I have long term and very close friendships with several argentines, including holiday meals, vacations, watching kids grow up, and more. Certainly it helps to at least try to speak the language, and to be...

Everything Milei has done so far has made prices higher. The only lowering of any price I have seen is property values, as many owners are so swamped with increases in utilities and expensas that they are desperate to sell and are taking lower offers.

Without changes in internal Argentine customs, tax, and import/export laws, this is relatively meaningless to the average Argentine. It may affect Cargill, or Stellantis, but it wont change the price of much of anything at the Chino or on Mercado Libre.

el mirasol has their menu online. https://menu.maxirest.com/514 these days, prices change so often that many places dont print menus at all anymore. QR code, and see it on your phone.

Then, a couple of weeks later, on a beautiful warm night in Rosario, under a full moon, in the outdoor amphitheater at the Centro Cultural in Parque de Espanå, we saw Liliana Herreo play. Ships glided by in the river behind her, silent behomoths. A bit older than Melero (she is 76), she was...

I recently saw two different artists over 65 express aging as a musician in two very different ways. I go to see Daniel Melero whenever I can. To me, he is the bright metallic thread that is woven thru the history of Argentine music for the last 40 years or so. He first became known in the...

Many of the Cartoneros are in the Federacion de Cartoneros, which is a cooperativo. They actually are legal employees in the eyes of the government, and get pension and health care benefits. These are the ones who have a fleet of trucks and a network of warehouses for sorting, and who recycle on...

I have been doing it for 17 years. Its not hard.

We are selling our Apartment in Barrio Norte. 2 bedroom, renovated kitchen and baths, tall ceilings, low expensas, great neighborhood. Asking $220,000 USD. https://bresson.com.ar/propiedades/billinghurst-al-1700/

For Bienes, yes, you need an accountant. For ABL, you get both a mailed and an emailed statement, and you can pay that online from the USA. This is a classic Argentinan issue- the bureacracy is so complicated and antiquated that you cannot pay taxes yourself. If a government wants tax income...

Post covid, a lot more is online.most things can be paid online with a credit card. Most utilities can be set up to send an email bill. And while its difficult its not impossible for a non resident to get a basic bank account. Or, you can hire someone to manage your bills.

I find the generational differences in the language here to be amusing sometimes. over a certain age, they buy le-VEZ pants. Younger people have Leave-eyes.

No, I usually apoligize in advance for how badly I am going to mangle castellano. I am quite aware of my limitations. And my inability to pronounce Rodriquez Pena exactly the way the colectivo driver expects to hear it. What I am saying is that many people here have heard a word pronounced one...
