    Paying overstay fee at Ezeiza Airport

    The airport Jorge Newberry is not that far from Palermo. But feel free to go to EZE or microcentro migraciones if you prefer. Now that I've done it, I can say it took longer than I expected because only one migraciones window was open (should I say, only one exists), and someone had a...

    Paying overstay fee at Ezeiza Airport

    I think I'll do this at Newberry airport a few days before I leave, just because I hate rushing around while hauling baggage. Has anyone done it there? (I read that it was 10 days not q week)

    How to hire workmen when you don't know the exact time?

    Okay! I talked to the logistics team of the tile company, and they agreed to move the delivery date to when my tile guys are here (taking the old tiles down). And those fine fellows agreed to haul the boxes up. Thanks for suggestions, because the tile company says the drivers are not permitted...

    How to hire workmen when you don't know the exact time?

    So I have 16 boxes of tiles delivered tomorrow between 9 am and noon, and just found out the delivery guys don't touch the boxes... I need to hire some big dudes to take them off the truck and up a flight of stairs. But since there's not an exact time, how do I coordinate? Hire big dudes to sit...

    How much of a problem is the language barrier in your daily life as an expat?

    This is exactly what I was talking about. What passes for proper pronunciation of English is a mile wide, other languages/places not so much. I went to Japan in the early 90s and it was super extreme in terms of 'correct'. I sat with these guys in a bar who wanted to teach me to say 'beer'...

    How much of a problem is the language barrier in your daily life as an expat?

    4. I ran a WA message from a driver through the translator, and it couldn't understand it either. I felt a bit vindicated when my local amiga couldn't understand half of it; but she figured out enough for me to hire the flete. In person, I could hear him better; especially the curses as they...

    Will there be Black Friday and where to buy home stuff?

    If your budget is like mine, Ejército de salvación in Pompeya for furniture, plates, art, and random things, Barrio Once for random kitchen stuff, FB Marketplace for stuff like lamps and kettles. I've found Rodo has good appliance prices. I'm still on the hunt for a glass vase blender for less...

    How much of a problem is the language barrier in your daily life as an expat?

    I can only dream of dreaming in Spanish! I was out with a bunch of people speaking spanish the other night, all good until they started drinking and interrupting each other and one told a rapid-fire joke that was apparently hilaaaaaaarious. I was ready for bed after that. Totally left in the...

    Javier Milei on Lex Fridman's podcast

    It sounded indian to me... If you listen to the English UK track, it has people speaking their actual languages and not AI dubbing.

    Argentine health system faces perfect storm amid Milei's austerity

    Looking at online pictures, it does look like a Rogel!

    Milei travels to US in search of new close relationships

    For sure there's a lot to be gained for Argentina! Today talking heads are saying Trump, Elon, and Vivek will 'take a chainsaw' to the Federal budget, Milei-style (no mention of Congress' role). And here's a photo-op with Trump, Elon and Javier: a graphic element for the news page about the...

    Argentine health system faces perfect storm amid Milei's austerity

    MilHojas, every time I see your profile pic I get hungry. Where can I find that dessert in the photo?

    Milei travels to US in search of new close relationships

    Some people on Reddit seem convinced that Milei will broker a free-trade relationship with the USA; as in, no tariffs, zero, zilch, on either side. That seems a bit whimsical with a President-elect Trump who ran on tariffs to offset domestic tax cuts, but we shall see. Milei has certainly been...

    Argentine health system faces perfect storm amid Milei's austerity

    Is this how miles gets rid of public health? Not by announcing it, but by making it financially impossible? He's probably doing the same with universities. I remember asking a conservative Argentine years ago if candidates ever run on adapting an "American" privatized system and he said they'd...

    When is the next Argentina election?

    I have no idea, like so many things in BA I heard about events after the fact, never before. Maybe you have to get on a list or make a donation or something? I was vaguely aware of when he was doing that singing thing downtown, but I figured it would be a mob. I love a spectacle even if I didn't...
