You want to talk to Vagrant Violet. Based upon my own 8 years of experience, I will say that it's a tough row to hoe. Honestly, you're better off teaching online and getting paid in dollars. Check out cambly.com Original article from 2014...

Jajajaja, great story. When I lived in Las Cañitas, I used to go walking in the Bosque Viejo in the mornings early, and around behind the Hipódromo there were always a few "muchachas con manija". Whether they were working the end of a late shift or the beginning of an early one, I didn't ask...

I also recommend Radiotaxi Premium. It's one of the few apps on my phone that I actually use. The only drawback is you might have to wait a while for your taxi to show up. Sometimes it tells me "your driver is 5 minutes away" and then half an hour later "your driver is 2 minutes away"...

The IMF violated two of its own rules in loaning the ~35-40 billion USD to the Macri government. 1. It facilitated capital flight, which IMF's own rules very definitely do not allow. 2. It loaned a much greater percentage of its outstanding debt to one country than allowed. It would, from a...

I wonder if this is required by law, or just the bank's decision.

Dividing 9,000,000 by 1350 I got a result of 6,666 USD per month. It's not riches, but it's a comfy salary, to be sure, and more than six times what Social Security pays me. Closer to seven times than six, actually...

Yeah, and then you woke up.

Fa Song Song is excellent. I used to live just down the street. Check their schedule carefully; they have odd hours. If you like spicy food, eat there rather then getting take away. When you get your food, ask for hot sauce and they will give you a little white dish with some evil-looking red...

You're right. My response could have been more diplomatic. I just cannot see how anyone who actually lives here and follows the news can be so casually dismissive of the importance of agriculture to the Argentine economy. "Figures don't lie but liars figure". I'm not accusing the OP of...

Wow, talk about complete failure to understand Argentina. That's just...I have no words.

Then why did they allow Milei to borrow another 9 billion USD? This was the first part of it, back in January https://www.ft.com/content/796a25f4-8b69-4a3b-9718-f562f98651d6 Grrr, paywall. I searched on Duck Duck Go and was able to go directly to it

An excellent summary.

Everything here on page 2 of this thread is very well said, Quilombo, LuckyLuke, Ries, Antopodean, well analyzed all of you. And yet, it all boils down to...because Argentina. This place. I remember some years ago saying to one would-be newcomer who asked what it's like here, "It's a wonderful...

Because Argentina.

Because it far exceeds the sort of thing usually published by the BAT. Mostly they print fluff and trivia, "human interest" and all that.

Wow, what a trip, in both senses.

This is a truly excellent article, and very realistic. But I am absolutely flabbergasted to see it in the BA Times.

Noooooooo! Do you have any idea why?
