The causes are many and complicated. You would require about five years here to begin to understand "why". For a week, you will just have to observe and wonder.

I think there is a huge difference between saying "there are other countries where things are cheaper than Argentina" and "Buenos Aires is the most expensive on the planet" the first is obviously true. the second is hyperbole. Many things are expensive here. Much more than they used to be, and...

I live part time in the usa. good olive oil is triple what I pay here. the medicines I buy here are not 5 times. restaurants are very expensive here, there is no doubt. but I buy excellent vegetables for less than I pay in the USA. I go to meat markets like Converso, and the prices are half...

not even close. some things are very expensive. some things are still pretty reasonable. restaurant and hotel prices are still way below most of the USA, especially cities of comparable size. imported items are very expensive, due to Milei not changing any of the duties, tarifs, customs and mail...

the answer is- it depends. Some areas it is possible. Usually you need a permit, and probably an architect, maybe an engineer. Other areas it would be very difficult. There is a type of zoning called "apto professional" which can be used for either an office or an apartment, and you could search...

Its much better now than it was before the pandamia, when everything was on paper and had to be done in person. Many more things are online and much easier now. But Argentina is different than many places.

Its on Paraguay, between Esmerelda and Suipacha. And its very close to 4 more korean restaurants. Probably because the Korean Cultural Center is on Maipu.

I have only seen one Innuit restaurant ever, it was in Vancouver.

Koreans support the korean restaurants. Japanese support the japanese restaurants. There are an estimated 250 Vietnamese living in Argentina. Not enough to keep a restaurant in business and the argentines wont eat enogh of it either. No eskimo or latvian restaurants here either. Over 30,000...

I am still trying to learn how to speak Canadian.

havent been to that one, but to similar ones in the neighborhood. There has been a big increase in korean restaurants in the downtown area, though. bi-won, on junin, is the oldest and most old fashioned, but quite good. newcomers include Mr. Ho and Doma on Paraguay, Fa Song Song on Esmerelda...

afraid is a good descriptive term here, but it infers he is not a true believer in libertarianism

again, milei's professed economic theory is 100% in favor of allowing these companies to do whatever they want. he simply does not have the political power to change this. and frankly, I am not convinced that he actually believes enough in the Austrians to actually do this, because I think even...

dollar accounts are traceable by the government. most of the liquid assets in Argentina are in the form of the estimated $400 billion in paper US hundred dollar bills held by individuals. But real estate is permanent, its sentimental, and under Argentine law and custom, its almost never...

did milei invent the CEPO? It dates back to 2011 as a name for the policy. I was under the impression that Milei wants the CEPO gone, and he is in favor of a free and unregulated flow of capital. So, to answer your question, no, the CEPO is not libertarian. The CEPO, to Milei, is an...

milei's idea of economics is macro, austrian, and libertarian. it doesnt account for employment or industry.

We have now gotten 3 precarias, one a year. They always take months, and are never predictable. This is Argentina. Last year they lost my dni card, and told me, wait til next year. Patience, Iago.

Argentina has very low domestic car rental use- that is, argentines dont rent cars much. So there arent that many cars per capita for rent, and the rental prices are generally on the high side. And RVs are not a big thing here. So renting them is also a luxury / novelty kind of thing. That said...

according to this article, several varieties of palta are grown in Argentina year round. but its only recently argentines have acquired a taste for them, and the per capita consumption is pretty low. https://www.infocampo.com.ar/la-moda-de-la-palta-como-es-el-cultivo-que-marca-tendencia/

The salmon here is always farmed from Chile. Which, by definition, cannot be excellent. And guacamole? I havent tried it yet, but I have been told the best here is the RU Omakase, in the Pleno Palermo Hotel right near Don Julio on Gurrachaga...
