    Outcry as Milei rewrites Argentina’s history

    I'm not sure what you're saying. Are you saying that the 30,000 number is true? You seem to go on to suggest that the number is very doubtful.

    Imported Food Products Are Allowed a Mirage?

    I understand that. What I'm talking about is opening up the country to the world. They need to let everyone in. If this isn't in Milei's plans, then everything else he is doing is less than half the job. It's not going to be easy, but it has to be done, or the only liberty we'll have is to...

    Imported Food Products Are Allowed a Mirage?

    Dollarizing won't change that, but opening Argentina's markets to the world will. If we're really going to have liberty, at some point we are going to have to have truly free and open markets. If not, all the rest of this is a bad joke.

    I never charge a lower tip because of the cubierto.

    It's too bad their coffee is so awful.

    Cafe waiter interaction: official thread on requesting service or a check

    Great list! I always pay immediately when getting coffee. The best places to sit aren't always the best places for service. A nice corner or over by the window can be the nicest places to talk to someone and enjoy your meal, but they're often the worst for getting service. If I know I'm not...

    Buenisimo! This is what happens to me most of the time I go to restaurants in Buenos Aires.

    Is Argentina Still a Good Deal?

    When I was 47, I was in exactly your situation (and therefore I didn't have a reason to be more cautious than someone who had a pension or social security and was just deciding where to live). I quit my high paying job, sold my house and moved here, and never looked back. I haven't regretted...

    Is Argentina Still a Good Deal?

    I knew that was a bit of a stretch. Maybe PAMI is the bus.

    Is Argentina Still a Good Deal?

    I don't like to cook. On the other hand, I've never been to Don Julio. I've been eating in more, but I still go out a lot. I never liked paying "too much" for a meal in the US, and I don't like to do that here, either. We could advise you better if we knew how you want to live here. I've...

    Is Argentina Still a Good Deal?

    I don't know about living like a king, but I live here well (for me) on less than half of that. I own my apartment.

    Latin America Sees its First Same-Sex Marriage

    I got married the second time at 52, and I think I was still too young. But I never grew up. (After reading thousands of posts here, I think that may be a common theme among expats.)

    Is the Milei "Transformation" Failing Already?

    Yes, I can read. That's why I posted. You were responding to a post about charging foreigners. What you posted has nothing to do with that. (Really, I just need to stay out of these conversations. I guess I'll never learn. At least not completely.)

    Changing USD in cuevas

    Some of the smaller cuevas get out of balance some days if everybody is buying or everybody is selling. I never saw it before this past year, but I've seen it happen a few times since the middle of last year. A couple of times I had to go back an hour later because they were waiting for pesos...
