    Am circling back here since I'll be circling back to BA. Still trying to hold my parts together. Yes, Turkey would be the place though I did find a good dentist (not too far from Palermo) for a basic fix that would have cost almost 10 times as much in an east coast city like NYC or Philly...

    Allergies Anyone?

    Hello fellow New Yorker in exile. What's up with these allergy tests that find nothing... when clearly something is happening! Have tried a range of nosesprays even rinses with a few drops of baby shampoo as recommended by ENT. Nothing solved...

    Where to eat and stay for one night in BA?

    I don't live in BA except that I'm returning for a month this January. I think the reviews on airbnb are pretty informative. In my previous visit, the full apartment rentals in Palermo are better than San Telmo or theater district. But this just a generalization.

    Milei travels to US in search of new close relationships

    A real shame to see some of these policies. Regarding international cooperation, th UN can always use reform, but reactionary rejection is worse than foolish. It is destructive and dangerous. See: https://www.passblue.com/2024/11/18/argentinas-right-turn-at-the-un/

    Is Argentina Still a Good Deal?

    This is an interesting discussion but it's from March. Wondering if someone might be able to share an update here? For folks who want to compare current prices & trends to previous years... Hoping to come again in 2 months. Like BA. But at least for medical or dental it may not be as good as...

    Guess what? Milei says the Western world is in danger

    Democracy cannot exist without checks and balances.... Milei overreaches, certainly in his rhetoric. Push back is inevitable. I dont know enough about his policies but wouldnt be convinced he has the right approach until I see it helping everyone. Will his centralizing political instincts lead...

    Covid test - returning to USA

    Since relatively few people abide by the rules (or are they recommendations at this point?) I hadn't considered the US authorities might actually check on this. I mean, how would they know? Are you suggesting one keeps the little plastic results reader to show the authorities? I took my covid...

    Doctors fees

    First, I did contact Dr Isaac Meta (thanks to you Malandro!) and he is an excellent communicator on email. Very professional. He wasn't in his office today, tho was willing to see me Monday. To make a long story short, I passed a small dentist office near Cabildo this afternoon .... a modest...

    Doctors fees

    Thank you everyone. I did find a reasonably priced optician on Cabildo and also a foot person on the same street. Fingers crossed (or toes crossed, or eyes crossed) that the work will be done quickly enough, ie before I leave. Will let you all know how thia turns out. Now, however, I do need a...

    Doctors fees

    I am coming to see if BA is someplace I could retire to. Meanwhile, am wondering if there was any advice here about buying eyeglasses or getting prescription orthotics for my shoes. Hoping this would be much cheaper here. Sounds pretty Middle aged, doesn't it! Not really planning on dentist...
