Nobody mentioned the real estate agents here are nearly all none responsive. I just moved to my new apartment, after calling and texting about 50 agents, only three of them responded me and shown me the property. Also lots of ads on Argenprop, mercado libre, Zonaprop are fake ads, simply ghost...

Maybe the four seasons weather in BA is something to consider. I've never been to Medellin, would love to at some point. But long time ago, I used to work in Barbados, Bridge Town, for whole three years, the weather was none stop summer, lots of spicy food on top and dengue fever. Personally I...

Shoes and belts here are so expensive, also roast chicken. uhmm...anything else cost less than it should be? Maybe the raw beef from freezer is still reasonable priced...for now.

I just brought roast chicken from Vea, that cost 15800 pesos, miss that $5.99 chicken from Costco. Also what is going on with the dollar to pesos recently? Anyone having an idea? Three weeks ago I got some pesos via WesternUnion at 1:1320, now its 1120 as I'm checking right now. Something went...

That's interesting, they could travel to brazil over weekend, after vacationing back on Sunday afternoon only to realize they're no longer Argentine anymore.

that's interesting prospect, any reference stories? Just curious.

Well ,any reasonable amount of time, you should be able on your vacation.

I feel like Argentina is very similar to China, the laws and the rules on paper is one thing, people sitting in the office/with power how they interpret the laws and rules are the other thing. Before Pandemic, I used to live and work in shanghai for more than 2 years, unlike in the states what...

One lawyer I've spoke to said the courts are randomly assigned to avoid 'unfair practices'. So you can't pick to court. But I agree, you can travel as much as you like but this is Argentina. If you already living here, you would find so many things that doesn't make sense but exist anyway.

It's a bit old, but wondering if you received the package smoothly in the end? Going to jump in similar loop soon.

It may varies. I remember I read a post in this forum last year. Someone filed citizenship application but rejected by the judge because of 3 days holiday visit back home in states out of something like continuous 5 years residence? So it depend on the judge how to interpret the timeline. But...

It's a blend, just like McDonald big mac, 80% of real food, 20% of unknown xxx. Certainly it has downgrades in every aspects recently.

Many people shared the same concern, but personally I don't think so. Simply no matter how AI outperform to human, they simply don't have soul, which is what distinguish us apart from AI or anything else. It might sounds crazy, but if you believe those little grey aliens from Alpha Centauri...

Depending on how you train the AI. ChatGPT now has a weird project called 'Monday', you can chat with her, but she is designed as your mean 'ex'. So I was wondering if somehow you triggered that with Gemini. Overall I think AI are pretty safe, they're not outsmart yet.

I remember four years ago in Bangkok, I had a two bedroom luxury apartment in downtown Banngkok commercial area for $500 dollar a month. Buenos Aires is kind pricey, really. My Argentine gf told me when she was in college, in BA on Corriente a humble apartment was about $100-$150USD. But of...

You can get the phone number with only your passport and some peso cash at any personal flow or claro store. Just remember to charge it with some money at some kiosk(not everyone takes it) or respective apps before you use it. You can't charge it in the store where you get the phone number...

Thanks for the advice, much appreciated. Last night, I already reported him to the FBI. We'll see if any agent is interested in taking on the case. After doing a little digging on Google, I found another victim who had a similar experience with him. (I should've done more due diligence...

That's very sweet, yeah I would see it as a miracle of kindness. Seven months so far, I feel like people in Buenos Aires are more like people in Europe, cold attitude but some of them are kind enough to trust. After all, it is a big city.

Thanks a lot your message gives me a glimpse of hope in the mist. Do you think hiring a lawyer in Buenos Aires to handle the negotiation and mediation might help? Years ago, when my wife was going through the divorce, she initially demanded everything from me very aggressively. However, after...

Thanks for everyone's advice, much appreciated with everyone's help. And to answer your questioned, I'm legal resident with CUIL number. For the fund, I actually invested into his account outside of Argentina. His company account is in Florida. The purchase contract was also signed when I was...
