    Western Union money transfer

    I have been sending money to myself since this thread first alerted to an advantageous WU rate in 2019. At first I picked up the money in BA and then I started sending it from my bank account in the US to my bank account in Argentina. All this done through the WU website. I've never had a...

    Western Union money transfer

    You can't use the Argentine WU website to send money to yourself or anyone else from the US. That site is only if you want to send money from Argentina. I don't know why it would be telling you to change your manner of payment.

    Argentina's fiery economist-turned-president now is wooing politicians

    Milei has done a number of things that I have not liked and he often does things in a way that I don't agree with, but I do think he is trying to bring about fundamental changes that Argentina desperately need and that others have not been willing to make or haven't been able to make. Yet...

    Argentine couple amazed by Mexican supermarket

    I always have a hard timing coming up with things I miss from the US when folks here ask. I say I have everything I need and everything I had in the States. The last time I was in a supermarket in the States, though, I found myself wishing the supers here had a greater variety of different...

    Can you hold a driver's license from US, if you live abroad?

    I am in the process of renewing my Georgia driver's license and they ask twice if you are a resident of the state. I am not; I live year around in Argentina, and only visit once or twice a year. We do file taxes in the state and use my mother's address as our US address, so yes, we can renew our...

    Carrot Cake + Empanada Hunt

    When I was a kid, I hated that song, so of course the other kids would taunt me with it. Your argentinized version is much better! Thanks!

    Carrot Cake + Empanada Hunt

    Usina Cafeteria has great carrot cake. El Maitén, The Stand, and Cumen, Cumen all have really good empanadas. The Stand has empanadas that you don't find other places, more international in its scope.

    Is the Milei "Transformation" Failing Already?

    Just like you were very sure if your statement, without any basis in fact. No one would ever accuse you of being part of the lunatic fringe.

    Is the Milei "Transformation" Failing Already?

    If it'd had said the same sort of critical things about Macri and Milei and extolled the virtues of kirchnerismo, he would have given it two likes if that were posible, because it would have been a more than legitimate post.

    Boston cream pie in BA?

    I like both Boston Creme Pie and alfajores, and fruitcake as well. To each his/her own, I guess. Fruitcake, in particular, is a sweet that many can't stomach.

    Is the Milei "Transformation" Failing Already?

    Maybe this is part of what he's fighting against.

    Is the Milei "Transformation" Failing Already?

    His continued support of kirchnerismo, a movement and govts corrupt to its/their very core that did nothing to root out corruption, especially in the province of BA, makes me question his integrity as a jurist.

    Where do you find things like cultural events and theater, music, museum exhibits in BA?

    No, the only reliable way to track what's happening here is not only instagram feeds, if you can find influencers whose tastes align with yours. And while many websites here are not updated, there are those that are, for example, those that Jantango, Nikad, Another and I provided. They are...

    Charities that pick up furniture to donate?

    If you go to the city's website, the part about the pick up of old appliances, they give you the name of a charitable organization that does that.

    Where do you find things like cultural events and theater, music, museum exhibits in BA?

    alternativateatral.com.ar is good for theater and music. Ticketek has a lot of the bigger names in music, and even some theater. Put "cartelera cine" in Google for movies, even though a couple of theaters are not on there, Cine Cosmos and Cine Arte Cacodelphia. Complejo Teatral has great movie...
