    Disappointed with Food in Argentina

    Jumbo / Disco for meats and deli if you want to shop at a supermarket. Coto does not keep a consistent quality and in some of their stores it is really bad. I stopped shopping there years ago. Maybe a big Carrefour for deli. Keep in mind that in some neighborhoods what they carry is nicer and...

    Citizenship requirements

    It is even simpler: he can have a US job, and have a second job, self employed here as an English tutor, or consultant, or psychic. Nothing keeps him from being monotributista, it can be totally unrelated to his US job. No law says you need to be working in Argentina to become a citizen either...

You can do it too, does not have to reflect what you really do for a living. Think " independent consultant " or " english teacher ". Not sure if...

    Coffee and cake prices

    This in an option we contemplate. I actually checked wait times for appointments at the Italian consulates in the US because here they are insane, only to find out it was a similar scenario.

    Coffee and cake prices

    As far as I can remember that was because utilities were still subsidized and imports were plentiful to that brought the price of items such as groceries, clothes, electronics, etc down. I do not see any of this these days, I see the same old stuff waaaaaaaaay overpriced for what it is.

    The total price you are paying for a 2 br in Villa Crespo plus building fees is average market price, it is not outrageous, but I am sure there are other properties available, if you have proof of income or garantia, you should be fine. Leaving early and terminating the contract will only...
