    Most expensive property for sale

    I defer to the knowledge and experience of the professional property people on this forum but.. ...why does everybody who has posted so far look at this as nothing more than a bricks-and-mortar deal? I wouldn't expect foreigners - foreigners to Argentina, that is - to know that much about María...

    Tourism in Argentina

    In my opinion, Bariloche depends upon the four Cs: Chocolate, Cerveza, Choriso and Circumstances and the greatest of these is Circumstances. When absolutely nobody came to visit Bariloche in 2011 it wasn't incompetence or corruption on the part of the Kirchner presidency, it was a bleedin' great...

    Food prices are amongst the highest of the planet

    Do you have a cite for that, @perry ? I'm seeing over GBP11.50 in the UK and more than EUR12.50 in Ireland

    Javier Milei's show at Luna Park

    Okay, so I have a hypothesis that Milei is doing all this with his eyes wide open, That's not an endorsement, by the way, just an observation. Milei is an avowed libertarian anarchist capitalist, no? Libertarian approximates to "get your government out of my business;" Anarchist approximates to...

    Javier Milei's show at Luna Park

    So...... Was the decision by the president to play a set at Luna Park made before or after Blinken's surprise performance in Kyiv?

    Brazil Travel money exchange and dni?

    I reckon an alternative translation to "Piece Of Sh*t" also works here.

    Today's translator app of choice ?

    Given ChatGPT's propensity to hallucinations, wouldn't someone need to be pretty fluent in the other language in order not to risk communicating something unintended?

    Milei's Argentina is fast becoming the Texas of Latin America

    Just a headsup that this article by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard is the first in a series of five in the Daily Telegraph about the economy in Argentina. If you are motivated enough to want to read the others, they are very easy to find.

    Photographers

    Museo Fotográfico Simik in Bar Palacio (one of the bares notables) in Federico Lacroze, Chacarita had lab facilities and meet-ups for photographers when I last went along there. Actually, not the last time I went there. The actual last time I went there was for an evening of jazz which was not...

    Tourist visa extension denied

    I think it might be both or either (180 days and/or one renewal per year) Like you, I am careful not to break the rules of the country where I am a guest and when I returned recently, the 90day entry would have pushed me over the limit but the immigration officer seemed satisfied with my...

    What happens after USD $12,000?

    Are you talking about the limit for bringing cash over the border into Argentina which as far as I am aware is still USD10,000? That's just undeclared cash: you may bring in as much cash as you wish provided you declare it and can demonstrate where it came from. But there are risks associated...

    Feeling Nostalgic-Left BA 20 years ago this week!

    Everything @sergio writes in his initial post may be true but it is not everything. It's a bit like the enigma of trying to describe the death, damage, destruction and devastation of the London blitz during the Second World War without mentioning that many people who survived - perhaps most...

    Learning Spanish

    Did Maurice Chevalier work on his accent to sound more American? Did Dick Van Dyke work on his accent to sound more English in Mary Poppins? Well, okay, maybe he should have done but unless you are aiming for a career as a Spanish speaking undercover superspy then having an accent can be an...

    Argentine workers launch general strike against Milei reforms, austerity

    You should tell them that. For anybody who doesn't already know, Reuters business is selling news to publishers and their USP is the quality and accuracy of their reporting.

    Can I bring a 30" brand new monitor without the aduana?

    Maybe somebody else can recommend a good, safe, locally sourced adapter: I don't really have the expertise to judge one before buying it here so when I bring appliances from the UK I crop off the type G UK/Ireland plug and fit the local type I plug instead. Sometimes available amongst the...

    Good, strong, English-style tea, anyone?

    Thanks for all the suggestions! Virgin Islands has turned out to be the best choice for me. El Gato Negro is certainly nice tea but still rather mild for me and starts to become stewed if left to brew for longer and Twinings: the pack of English Breakfast Tea bought here in Buenos Aires is...
