    There are lots of small houses with small gardens in the Northern suburbs. Belgrano and Nuñez are ok too, but much more citified. Mostly apartments there, houses are wildly expensive.

    Housekeeper pay

    No wonder - you have priced her out of the market. If she expects to get $7000/hr elsewhere, she's in for a reality check. Argentinians won't pay more than $4500/hr, at most. And many expats pay what their Argie friends pay.

    Food prices are amongst the highest of the planet

    on the brink said: What's the use of comparing food prices in Argentina with prices in Australia or the US? Can anyone get home delivery from grocery stores in those countries? Do you mean, US and Australia stores deliver their groceries IN ARGENTINA? ;-))

    Trump injured after being shot while speaking at a campaign rally

    Wouldn't surprise me to learn that the whole thing turns out to have been staged by Trump. Nothing easier than to nick you own ear, and then play the hero.

    Military parade to celebrate 9 de julio

    It used to be a happy day for families with children, waving small blue and white flags and feeling glad about being Argentines together. We were proud to watch our handful of ancient WW2 second-hand tanks, and the skier batallion dressed all in white, carrying their crossed skis over their...
