Eh?! No idea, wasn’t me

Rio and BsAs are completely different cities in every way. But no shadow of a doubt that rio is more violent. If going to rio for holidays you most likely going to stay in Zona Sur or maybe around the Olegario Maciel and the beginning of Barra. All definitely walkable but you d certainly need...

Over 300 pretty full articles in the DNU but it’s the obscure black robes one that proves how out of touch this proposal is?… let’s just say that if the dnu was that meaningless it wouldn’t be fought so hard by all the unions and Ks. But most importantly this type of comment is precisely what...

55% of Argentines democratic votes... I don’t particularly like milei but I certainly respect and support Argentinians majority vote for change.

Curious about those house sales, can you please tell more? ☺️

I can’t see anything extreme in this DNU. It is Argentina’s current over regulated and clunky framework that is extreme. The common denominator in much of the arguments against is fear. Fear of change, fear of losing privileges, fear of the violent reaction of those resisting change. And of...

Isn’t this precisely part of the strategy to cap inflation? That market demand sets the ceiling? As to whether that’d work in Argentina is a different story. But genuine question

Right-o, resurrecting this thread. First world problems especially in the light of the current situation. But it all adds up Just got in at AEP and of course the taxi rank a AEP international arrivals ‘lost’ the QR code sign. So I went to the domestic arrivals taxi rank where they are pretty...

I just walk north to the taxi lane at international arrival of aeroparque regardless. Usually way shorter queues than at domestic arrivals

If you mean fares, the AEP taxi QR code system has been a game changer. Not much leeway for dodginess for taxis anymore. At worst they don’t advertise the QR code system. May work at the AEP international arrival. But the sign is really obvious at the domestic arrival of AEP so really can’t see...

Been living there for 5 years and absolutely love it! An excellent choice for a family. Super safe as others mentioned. Lots of family friendly options along the costanera for sporting activities/leisure/dining/open air concerts etc Vicente López is actually quite a large area, For example...

Again, the Argentinian airspace has a disproportionate amount of big egos and poor airmanship. Variations on the scenario from that cringeworthy ATC transcript are common from San Fernando to Ituzaingó: some entitled ego will decide they want to show off or that they are in a hurry and everyone...

The Argentinian airspace is not short of big egos and lack of basic airmanship. They basically fly like they drive.

I remember reading somewhere that La Rioja has a substantial proportion of civil servants. Can’t remember the exact figure. Can explain the consistant votes for FDT irrespective of the national voting trends.

I am sure the PRC does indeed love Argentine commodities. And every other potential benefit. It’s just that Argentina is far from being the first country that China ‘invests’ in. From the heavy Chinese interest in Africa in the late 80’s to the 2010s rebranding and refining of the policy as...

Most optometrists will sell them to you without the local prescription. The issue as you guessed is whether they have them in stock, let alone the exact prescription, within expiry date. The latest versions of the good brands are not good value. Personally I don’t stock up on mine in South...

Can’t remember the exact wording in Spanish but yes that was the idea: Testing knowledge on whether a kid or whoever could be seated between a motorbike driver and the wheel (or like the ‘family car’ scooters with mum, dad and junior on it). And yes in motion. My favourite part was still the...

Was just driving on that ruta 5 yesterday… ufff! I regularly drive a motorbike through acceso oeste and other parts of the provincia and 100% am more concerned about safety and potholes, other cars maintenance or lack thereof, if the awkwardly loaded truck ahead of me actually knows that that...

It sure was a very Argentinian day. I got an interestingly consistant answer as to why there was no plan and why it was ok that there was no plan: superstition. Dead set serious answer I got over and over in a way or another from seemingly level headed local people. Basically talking about a...

Definitely still need all the required paperwork including test for non Argentinian citizens/residents and vaccination for all. It now gets checked by check in agents at the departure port (and then a secondary check at the gate prior to boarding depending on the place). So immigration in Eze...
