In some areas I get the LTE, but for some reason around Recoleta indoors I’ve been getting the H or H+. Tried switching off/on airplane mode for 5 seconds, then restarting. This helped when I initially arrived and wasn’t getting any coverage, but it didn’t seem to help for the Recoleta H+ issue.

Are there restrictions, like for who lives in CABA, like a tourist in Airbnb, or other restrictions? In US they had a restriction on the free test if you do it for travel purposes, so I had to pay for it.

Interesting. Yes I see the mention of the H bands in my phone notification area or whatever that's called. I'm using Google Pixel 5 phone. No local sim yet. It seems to have this band you mention: What bands does Pixel 5 support? 4080mAh Network Technology GSM / CDMA / HSPA / EVDO /...

I've been thinking about it but have been busy and don't know which one is best. Which do you recommend?

Last I checked there was a requirement to do s 2nd PCR test after you arrive in Argentina, between the 3rd and 7th day if I recall. Is that right? If so, do they have the saliva PCR test where you just spit into a vial, no nose or throat swap? That's how I got my PCR test in USA and it seemed...

For some reason I still keep getting H or H+ speeds for Google Fi in my Recoletta Airbnb. Other places I’m getting LTE.

I confirm that I’m able to use my old Roku device at my Airbnb. Not sure how the router is configured but I’m also able to get CBSN live news.

Only book.

Where can I find for sale a hollowed out book for storing cash and other valuables in BA? Looked for the real hollowed out books, not the generic Walmart kinds that aren’t real books. Or is there a shop where I can take a book and they can custom make it for me? Would like to keep my...

Weather today in BA is decent. Friday and Saturday will get very hot again. One tip is to pour some water on your hair or on your clothes. It’ll keep you cool for a while.

I heard there was a house fire that was responsible for the power outage, and that it’ll come back on slowly. My Airbnb near Recoleta got a power outage for a while and I’ve been roaming outside since so don’t know if it came back on. Had a mini LED lantern with me that provided decent light...

Ah. Estados Unidos de America. Thanks.

I don’t see USA in the list of “Travel Document Issuing Country” dropdown here: https://ddjj.migraciones.gob.ar/app/home.php Aren’t travelers from USA with a US passport supposed to fill out this form and select USA from the first dropdown?

That’s not good, right? So using these apps and linking your Paypal or Credit card with them to pay that way costs much more than paying in cash, because you’ll pay the official rate? I don’t understand this, because my understanding was that sites like Airbnb where you have linked your credit...

Is Cabify the recommended cab app here? If you link your credit card or Paypal will it charge you the blue rate, and will there be foreign transaction fee?

How does the COVID travel insurance checking happen and what are the exact requirements? On the USA embassy site it says: “Argentine immigration authorities require that all travelers have evidence of medical travel insurance that includes hospitalization, quarantine, and transportation...

Then at the bottom of the article it says this: “The differences in infection rates for the two vaccinated groups were very small: the researchers estimate that there were 5.75 infections per 1,000 persons for the Pfizer vaccine group and 4.52 infections per 1,000 persons for the Moderna...

That’s interesting. I knew they were saying that the mutations will happen because of the transmissions and people being unvaccinated, but I didn’t know there was data that variants are linked to countries where the virus was more out of control. It makes sense and fits precisely what they...

Regarding the political issue that Shane brought up, first let me say that Shane looks very similar (younger version) to one of the people whose Youtube Channel I’m subscribed to, by the name of Sensible Prepper...

I didn’t understand the article translation well, but noticed it mentioned something about a 3rd dose. Can someone clarify if it’s required or will be required to take the booster shot? So you must have a health pass to participate in certain activities?
