    Is the expat party coming to an end?

    As for expats, if things get better Argentina should be cheaper than Europe or the US but not like it was in 2003. I am sure some will stick if they have ties or enjoy the culture and some will leave. This would be in an optimistic scenario.

    Is the expat party coming to an end?

    I think the key is to get more people employed with decent salaries and get inflation under control. 50% of the population under the poverty line is unsustainable: no subsidies or plans will ever help solve it. There needs to be way more exports and genuine (not public) employment.

    Is the expat party coming to an end?

    I am no expert but I feel that if Argentina gets very expensive in dollars and salaries are too low there will be social unrest, at the same time if salaries follow it will not be very attractive for investors. In any case with governments changing rules 360 degrees every 4 years, I am not sure...

    What do pedestrian crossings mean in CABA?

    This is true, however a lot of pedestrians disregard their own lives as well. I sometimes joke with my DH and call them the "suicides". It really is chaotic and dangerous. When I was in school we were taught how to cross the streets, we actually went out with teachers to practice ( supervised of...

    What do pedestrian crossings mean in CABA?

    I can only tell you, that current bus drivers are true British gentlemen compared to what they were like in the 80s when they had to cut tickets, give change, no ac, deal with the doors, etc. Those were the days where they would bump your car to get you going... ahhh nostalgia :D

    What do pedestrian crossings mean in CABA?

    It literally is the jungle: both drivers and pedestrians are horrible, they do whatever and wherever, drivers won't stop and pedestrians ( a big % ) will jump in the middle of the street out of nowhere totally oblivious ( and entitled ). My favorite is when mothers push down their kids strollers...

    Traditional UK/Canadian Christmas pudding or mince pies?

    A lot of butcher stores sell sebo by the kilo to " seberos " that buy it to make soap, but I am sure that if you talk to the butcher, they can save some and sell it to you.

    Traditional UK/Canadian Christmas pudding or mince pies?

    Apparently "grasa de pella" can be either lard or suet take a look: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grasa_de_pella but they also refer tu suet here ( sebo ) https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebo it is definitely one of the them.

    Traditional UK/Canadian Christmas pudding or mince pies?

    I couldn't say this fat is specifically the one around kidneys to be honest, but it is used for bakery in general so I assume it has to be very close to suet. Then you have grasa de pella ( lard ) but it is from pork so it is definitely not like suet.

    Rental Law Will be Repealed Tomorrow, by Decree

    I really think this should increase the offer. Of course properties in touristy places will keep their prices, and overall north of the city. But in general an abundance of properties should level prices. Right now everything is for sale. I like it that a contract between parties prevails over...
