Reuters reports that for the month of September 2018, annualized domestic meat consumption was 108 pounds per capita. That was down 17% from pre-peso collapse. In other words, before the peso fell, Argentine annual meat consumption per person was around 130 pounds per year. Vegans have an...

It is true that today, you don't need an agent to find an apartment. The internet makes apartment searches easier. But when an agent is employed by the owner and therefore controls the apartment you want, there seems to be no choice. Pay some ridiculous commission and get the apartment, or move...

Thanks for the suggestions. I have been using the pages that you mention and Craigslist. AirBnB has become uneconomical from a tenant's perspective - at least for rentals longer than a few weeks. As a tenant, you are paying all in dollars, you pay an enormous service fee and you pay everything...

Hi, I am looking for an apartment to rent in Capital. In my search, people have told me there have been two changes in the Codigo Civil: 1) Agents cannot charge incoming tenants a commission - the commission must be paid by the owner; and 2) A rental term for a temporario cannot be longer...

I brought a Magic Bullet from the US to Argentina. For some strange reason, even with the transformer from 220 to 110, it won't work. When I plug it in, it makes a light humming noise, like it is trying to get going, but the blades don't start turning. Has anyone else had this problem with this...

I know a few Americans who try to teach english locally. It is a tough existence. It is better to get an online-based job with a western company and earn $20,000US per year. It's not that hard to find and life in BA will be much easier. I agree completely that cancellations, changes of...

I'm in the process of renting an apartment in BA. I got a rental contract from a duena. The contract has a provision whereby the duena or her representantes can enter at any time, without any notice. I asked her specifically about this provision, cuz it's in castellano. I asked, "Doesn't this...

Thank you jantango! In mercadolibre, I tried "escritorio parado" and stuff like that. But goodness, at $1.500US, I can bring one from here that I bought for $100.

Does anyone know if you can purchase a standup desk in Buenos Aires? Thank you.

Anyone know where I can buy a pair of decent quality, UV-protected sunglasses in BA? Preferably en Centro. Thanks.

I have been out of BA about 6 months now. I have heard that Macri is making lots of changes. I will return to BA in a month and a friend is asking for a new Apple Iphone. Is it now permitted to bring this into Argentina undeclared? Or do items such as this still need to be declared and taxes...

You can buy it at any chino. Just look for the little packets with the spices.

In Centro, I used to visit one on Lavalle. Walk to the restaurant "Acapulco" at 750 Lavalle, I think. Face the restaurant. Then do a 180 degrees and you will see a galleria with a pasillo. Walk up the stairs. About 100 meters on your right will be a glass window storefront with jackets hanging...

Does anyone know of a dentist, or more appropriately, an implantologista, in Buenos Aires that is using the CAD/CAM technology? From what I read, this makes the final steps of an implant take only a one-hour visit, as opposed to multiple appointments over two weeks with the old technology. Thanks.

After a cumulative total of about 5 years in BA, I left 3 months ago. As an economist, it is my opinion that the value proposition of BA has broken down. Five years ago, in Buenos Aires, you got all sorts of wonderful benefits at a great price. Today, many of those benefits are gone and the...

steveinbsas is da man. He is always helping people on this forum.

Right. It's organic because they told you so.

I hate to be a downer on this website and post, but consume "organic" at your own risk in Buenos Aires. During my years in BA, I have encountered innumerable fake products, scams and consumer ripoffs. Face it, any merchant in BA can slap an organic label on any product and no one will know the...

You are visiting the wrong country if you are looking for natural supplements and organic food. Except for the baking soda and the grass fed beef, you will have to bring all that with you.
