Drive them to Montevideo and ship from there.

Is she trilingual?

Can you say what happened?

What are the conflicting opinions that you have heard?

'many of them ethnic Chinese, people who work 3 times harder than lazy Argentines with their ridiculous "holidays" every other week... What does that tell you about this country?' That although slothful, frivolous, and not too bright, they are more savvy than people think.

Describe your idea of an idyllic life, ephemeral wretch.

For buying and selling. And what are the most popular types in Argentina? Thank you.

I think the question is whether the currency is allowed to float or if there are restrictions on its exchange.

From that graph, I can only get the rate for Jan 4 2016. Official rates: https://www.valordolarblue.com.ar/ 13.510 https://www.oanda.com/currency/converter/ 12.9096 http://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=USD&to=ARS&view=2Y 13.18594 Large difference. Not sure which is right. I assumed that...

Great posts. It's very nice to hear from someone who knows Argentina. You said the impetus for the desertion of public schools by the middle class was the teacher strikes. That sounds true but the same phenomenon is occurring in many Western countries. I wonder if there might not be more...

After taxes, etc. do you make a net profit on the properties you still own in Argentina? I would pay out of pocket for private or use public in cases where it works well, as lamarque said. Sometimes buying health insurance makes sense. Depends on how prone to sickness/accidents you are, the...

I'd like to see consumer price index, core inflation index, deflator numbers put together by reliable experts. Where can I get those? I've heard all kinds of numbers. USD : ARS Jan 1, 2016: 12.9399 Jan 1, 2017: 15.8907 Morgan, change in price due to removal of subsidies should not affect...

Interesting side topic. Do you have some references on the inflation rate for 2016? I haven't been able to find them and am curious. Increases in certain consumer prices cased by cancellation of subsidies don't count. As I posted in reply to Morgan, the ARS devalued about 23% in 2016 so I do...

What did you not like about it?

Thanks for looking at these. 150 sqm is all I need for 4 bedrooms if the house is smartly built. These are the ones that I got when filtering by 4 bedrooms. I think houses are a lot less compact, more common space, etc. in Argentina than what I'm used to due to the availability of space. 200...

I've been to Ezeiza several times. Seemed safe. Have you heard of a robbery outside of it as passengers walk out to their taxis/car rentals?

Even during Kirchner's day's, I regularly made transfers to clients in Argentina via cryptocurrency and never lost more than 2% from the Blue rate. Often I made better than the rate.

Yes, it's looking better. I'm travelling to Argentina shortly. Will drive a car around the country and visit Paraguay and Uruguay as well. Isn't Punta Del Este too touristy/resortish? Thanks for the links. Did you get a chance to look at the links to houses I posted back in pg 5, post #50?

I certainly would be staying somewhere cheaper. Semi-rural, well out of the city. Anyhow, the primary difference between COL in Villa 31 and a nice area is rent and eating out. Neither are factors for me.. I think you misunderstood cost of living (COL) for quality of life (QOL). I did not mean...

1. Do exchange rates between currencies on average track the inflation in their respective countries? This seems like a hard question and I am no economist but I would surmise that they do. You say there was 35% inflation rate in Argentina during 2016 (btw, please can you provide a reference? I...
