Totally agree. There are so many good neighborhood places with arguably better quality, service, and prices. Unless you're looking for an Instagrammable moment or want to say you've been there, there's no reason to go to these "best" places that end up leaving a lot to be desired.

Hi Amy, try Dr. Luis Pereira, +54 9 11 4325-2117, Esmerelda 339 Piso 3 No. 2. Visited him for a partially cracked bridge and cleaning. He comes recommended by another member of this site but can't remember who (apologies!).

Thank you for the info Obi! Re Colonia prices, that was my experience as well. When I visited last November, Colonia prices were actually higher than Punta del Este.

Would you mind sharing the website address? I thought I saw it on a previous thread but now can not locate it.

Excellent post and info, thank you! Wondering what was your return experience was like, specifically going through Argentine immigration? I've used the Colonia Express once and it took forever, 2+ hours, and people were literally passing out from standing so long in the enclosed hall. Departing...

I think earlyretirement is spot-on with his post above. I hear what you are saying Julia. Yes, governments around the world are strapped for cash but it seems like an annual licensing program could be self-funding. Listing platforms make it easy to see who is doing what, although you won't catch...

Very well said! I'm more and more surprised that municipalities everywhere don't require Airbnbs to be licensed and inspected regularly, rather they attempting to ban them.

Will be attending with my friend Cheri.

I've wondered the same thing about altitude. Currently stuck in Cuenca waiting to return to Argentina. Lived in Ecuador for five years and visited Guayaquil numerous times. From personal experience, have to say this article is spot-on as to why Guayaquil has so many cases (maybe in addition to...

Hi Julio, As a recent newcomer, here are some of my suggestions: 1. Use your local Chino for shopping and everyday wine and your local vinoteca if you want something special. Depending on the neighborhood you may be able to use your debit/credit card instead of paying cash. 2. I use the...

Recently I had the misfortune of my hard drive going bad and not having all of my data backed up off line. If you ever find yourself in this situation I highly recommend Recupero Datos. They are extremely professional, with excellent communication (Whatsapp, email, and in person) and super...

My experience is that it depends on the vendor, not only for airlines but other sellers as well. Sometimes my U.S. debit card is accepted, other times I have to use my credit card. PayPal might be another option to consider, by linking the account to the card you prefer to use.

What are the odds that private creditors play along? https://en.mercopress.com/2020/02/20/imf-argentine-debt-is-not-sustainable-a-meaningful-contribution-from-private-creditors-is-required?

Interesting read to see how people invest and what a HUGE impact inflation has had over the last few years.

I was finally able to visit all three places on my search for mochi and here is what I found: 1. Tienda Ohno - small shop in the Belgrano Market one block from the Juramento subte stop line D. Unfortunately I arrived at closing time, but if you've not been the Market is interesting with large...

I only glanced at the article, but I suppose CFK is trying to draw a parallel between Mafia loan sharking, supposed Macri family Mafia connections, and Macri borrowing from the IMF? This, combined with her recent statement that Argentina won't repay half a cent to the IMF until the economy...

Have give Fernández credit for his detailed answer, even if one doesn't agree with his response!

Hi Maxwell, Have you considered scheduling a consultation with an immigration attorney? They understand the system and know the ropes, so to speak, and would be able to develop the best plan for you specific situation.

Raising taxes (or not letting them expire) is the easy part and makes the IMF happy. I give President Fernández a lot of credit for his road tour to enlist the help of other counties and organizations with the debt restructuring. But, what is the government actually doing to boost the economy...

I've never heard the term "ArgenChina" before. Nice in-depth article about Chinese investment in Argentina: https://es.panampost.com/editor/2020/01/20/como-china-moldea-la-economia-argentina/
