When I first arrived I got saved from being robbed/stabbed due to not processing what was happening fast enough. I was walking past Hospital Infantil Ricardo Gutiérrez right when it was starting to get dark. There was an old broken down mini bus on the side of the road. I went to walk past it...

There are a few I think. But you are going to end up paying a lot more money. http://haigba.com/

Yea most "tourist apartments" are 6 month fixed leases. Some are in dollars some in pesos. Craigslist is your best bet in my opinion. Or Airbnb. Keep in mind on craigslist you have to likely pay 1 month rent commission to the real estate agent. Some are owner direct with no comission. In my...

Just stopped by Nike in Alto Palermo. They said they have size 12 US for sure

I'm going to be in Alto Palermo later today. I'll pass by the Nike store to see if they have size 12 US

Looking for recommendations on the best "outdoor club" to join. Something like club de amigos. We visited club de amigos and liked it but wanted to see if there are better options. Looking for something with a pool and tennis courts ideally. Thanks in advance!

I think this opinion piece, while brutally harsh, is an accurate assessment of the situation and the proposal for dollarization. https://www.thebubble.com/argentina-will-never-dollarize I think the quote below is a near perfect description of "he who must not be named" "He’s simply Argentine...

The visa exchange rate is usually pretty good. You can check the daily value here: https://usa.visa.com/support/consumer/travel-support/exchange-rate-calculator.html The one thing to keep in mind though is it is based on the market exchange rate at the close of the previous day. So if there...

There's a thing called hyperbole. Useful for descriptive purposes. I actually have learned to appreciate philadelphia rolls more, but yes I do miss Tuna. OMG I cant have Tuna, what a horrible life /s.

Yea not sure what deadOAs hostility is to the fact you can find some "exotic" food here. It can be difficult but with some searching you can be pleasantly surprised. Case in point I recently found a great Korean restaurant in Palermo. Spicy pork (one of my favorite dishes of all time), kimchi...

This is exactly what it is. I confirmed with a driver. In order to get good cars/drivers order an uber select. It's about 40-50 pesos more on a 15-20 minute ride, but well worth it.

Use the search tool. This question has been asked a lot.

"Normal" apartments (2 year leases with the same price locals pay) 99.99% require a garantia. Some will accept seguro de causación which you get by paying about 1 month rent to a company that provides these insurance policies - note this is a payment not a deposit. Not refundable. Otherwise you...

Does anyone have any leads on chartering a boat for the day for 6 people in El Tigre? Looking to cruise around for the day doing a private tour of sorts (does not need to be professional tour guide, just someone familiar with the area). Stop somewhere for lunch. It would be for early March. Any...

I would assume so. I think you can receive at pretty much any bank that accepts SWIFT transfers. Fees might be different. Transferwise told me unofficially that the highest fee they had ever seen was $50.

I live in Montserrat now. If you are on or close to a main avenue you are probably ok. There are a lot more police in that area than 6 months ago, I see them almost every other block now. Smaller side streets could be a little riskier. It isn´t any more dangerous than other parts of Buenos...

Hello Everyone, My family is planning to come visit in March and I was hoping for some ideas on a house rental somewhere in the country (at least slightly - doesn't have to be middle of nowhere). When I was living in Chile my family came down and we rented a house in the mountains (Cajon...

Not sure if this is something that interests people, but you can use Transferwise to transfer dollars from a US bank account to a US$ denominated account in Argentina. I needed to get dollars down here, but my bank does not make international wire transfers. I reached out to Transferwise and...

I don't think so. Not yet at least. They did an interview with someone from the company and said it is in the future plans though

I don´t have a ton of complaints. If you need to earn money here then your salary will be your #1 complaint. My only other big complaint has been mentioned already, but it is the lack of efficiency. Take the supermarket for instance. They have "self check out" kiosks where you scan your own...
