I would do a lot for a proper afternoon tea. Scones and clotted cream. Also fish & chips. Or a pub food.

Yes, cooking at home is way to go as the food at restaurants are awful. Forget about the variety, even the existing restaurants don’t know the restaurant business. Unfortunately, at the moment can’t cook at home and feel extremely food deprived!

Carilo probably the best place in Argentina. Very very small. But the food is great and I think they have the best pizza in Argentina in Carilo. You will see the place. It was a small restaurant on the side but now they have enormously expanded. Forgot the name but you can’t miss it. Go to Rada...

Why are you ashamed? I do not know how it is in Morocco. But I know Turkey quite well and the medical services in Turkey are far superior than in the US. And it’s free! I do not know what glamour is to you but not having to worry about having an insurance and getting superb medical treatment...

I have been to Tandil twice. It’s a decent small city famous for tennis and cuchillos artesanales. Stayed at an amazing campo style hotel, Hosteria de la Cascada. Fabulous hotel with a great restaurant. There are some seriously good restaurants in the city as well. The hotel was kinda mismanaged...

AMEX seems to have the worst rate. My uk credit card used to charge almost at the blue rate but not anymore. It is still the best to WU your money and put it into your AR account and use the card and get the discounts. For example Santander got 30% off at COTO on Tuesdays I think. Yesterday used...

book for a week. If you like it extend for another 3 weeks directly.

I don’t think you will have any issues but you will be an illegal alien. Why would you want that? And please be aware that this country became more and more expensive than anywhere. It’s nowhere near the past years in terms of affordability. Now it’s like bad quality for more as opposed to last...

English cuisine or the food in England? English cuisine is far better imo. You can find any food in the UK. Over here they can’t even make a proper burger or pizza. Apart from that, they don’t know the food business; I’ve found a place with great pizza and the manager said they make masa madre...

Palacio something

2 years ago we went to a top top top hotel for breakfast for my birthday and the croissants were UK supermarket quality, not even!

They’re Italian and Spanish citizens also and they travel quite often both to US and Europe and still believe the meat is something else here.

I am suffering due to the lack of decent food here. Can’t find a decent gourmet burger place. Pizzas are awful. I was spending every year 2 or 3 months here and this was the time when I was really into sports and working out so I was watching what I was eating. This time I am a lot more relaxed...

Come on man, a smile goes a long way!!!! For those who believe that’s true; when the guy is desperate for food or cash or whatever, the smile of a gringo will be the last thing they care about.

If you want more “profound” insights and these are not enough then live and learn! Nobody is here to convince you, I bet nobody cares either! People sharing their thoughts out of their experiences. Not every homeless or beggar are bad people but there has been a lot of instances where people...

Been here for 51 years and I will do what you say next time.

I’m sorry but it doesn’t work like that. Once you give they (as in the author’s post) they ask again and again and if you refuse they may get annoyed!

That’s seriously an unnecessary problem to deal with.

Spanish speaking Italians with a British mentality! And this is so untrue. Even my AR wife whose great grandpa migrating from Sussex; nowhere near British mentality let alone the others.

You’re right in theory but for Argentine people being Italian or Spanish doesn’t really feel like being a foreigner. From AR point of view; both Italy and Spain are seen as “one nation, two countries”.
