Loud fan or white noise machine plus ear plugs. They sound like jerks, so not even addressing the possibility of reasoning with them.

On our near Avenida Melián in Belgrano R, but only if you have $$$ and are open to sit down coffee shops BA style.

I think in the US it really depends specifically where you are in the country. As a whole, the US is handling this disastrously, but some states are getting on top of things. Europe is seeing new peaks. We have to balance closing down and killing the economy and people through unemployment or...

Should I even bring up the quality (lack of) of Argentine sushi!?

Maybe it’s your youth, which hey, being young is awesome and many of us grizzled and cranky long timers would love to switch places with you. Maybe for a week. Your posts just strike me as incredibly tone deaf considering you want to ignore an unprecedented worldwide pandemic and take...

P Please please PLEASE be a troll!

You have to balance risk. Obviously parties are stupid and irresponsible, but a beach walk is just sanity! I worry this entire generation is going to have PTSD...I cannot imagine being a little kid under covid lockdown.

Jajajajajaja! So nice to read a post that has nothing to do with covid or inflation ;)

I’m sorry to add that I would not want a bunch of customs officers at EZE to know (and possibly share) that you were traveling with so much cash.

I think the key factor in the original post is that there is a school-aged child involved. As complicated as Argentina is, the bilingual school options in BA are far superior to most other cities in Latin America, certainly in comparison to Uruguay. If he is set on South America, Argentina is...

Sure the politics are a disaster but at least there are more than two true political parties (unlike in the US), so to get any real power they generally have to make friends/alliances with another party and make some compromises. Lots of changing alliances but it’s a bit refreshing to have some...

You ask questions with complicated and ever-changing answers. I would highly recommend you use the search function on this site, settle in for a lot of reading and advice, and then, if you’re still feeling brave, ask away!

100% agree. Great perspective and sound advice. She sounds like she has nothing but time to fight you for money and blame. Just let it go and think of your kid and having a good relationship with him. It does take two to tango, so get off the dance floor.

I second Belgrano R. We lived there and loved it. We were in a building (with decent security) but originally wanted a house, but people stay in that area forever and we couldn’t find one to rent. I always felt safe there, no matter the time of day. The area around Avenida Melian is...

Whenever I hear someone being cavalier about coronavirus and how these precautions are limiting their personal freedom, I want to remind them that we are part of a community here and It’s Not All About You. But, if that doesn’t get through, I’d ask them to read any well-reported stories (NY...

Helpful info all. This is one of those times where I’m very thankful for BAExpats. Nothing like crisis to remind you of some of what’s really important...health, safety and helping others. Please keep us posted on your return journey. We’re all rooting for you during these crazy times...

I am so sorry to hear of your stressful situation. I would really encourage you to reach out to your embassy to see how they might help you. I can’t imagine you starting that trek without knowing you’re going to be allowed to arrive safely in BA. Hopefully, your ages (particularly your...

What is the long term strategy, really? To keep everyone locked up at least until September? Until a vaccine is available? My understanding has always been that the majority of people are going to be exposed to covid-19, and need to be exposed to it, to achieve herd immunity. The point of...

Good choice. It’s a good time not to make long -term commitments that involve a lot of cash that you can’t liquidate easily. Not just in BA.

I’m thinking they would also like to know who has had it and may now have some level of immunity (and be able to go back to work or help others, with blood plasma donation). Italy has even been considering the idea of a kind of antibody ID card, which has all kinds of pluses and minuses. But...
