Tinker your own turkey: Bola de lomo, colita de cuadril, two entrañas, vacío, and an ojo de bife, with a bit of wire …. And voila! You have your own turkey criollo.

For football / soccer games (international games, Champions League, Premier League etc) Gibraltar Pub in San Telmo is a safe bet. I am sure they also show this rugby game (although Argentina vs Ireland will probably be widely shown as the Pumas are very popular here)

I dont share the viewpoint (optimism??) that the Ks are done, far less the Peronists. If you look at the result in BA province (the most important one, by far), it is absolutely astonishing that still 38+% vote for this party. We are speaking about a crisis of historic proportions, with all...

My favorite moment in this campaign was the one from Maximo addressing the crowd: Quieren que vuelva Macri? Noooooooo!!!! Queren que vuelva Vidal? Noooooooo!!!!! Quieren que vuelvan los tarifazos? Nooooooo!!!!!! Quieren que vuelva el trabajo? ….. Mmmmmmm ….. watch this at 14:15

Regarding the 50% increase: I think that increase is more less in line with inflation (might even be slightly below it). Assuming that you have a peso contract, I don't see this as a total rip off per se. If the apartment is in bad shape, that's another story then. Generally speaking, I think...

This is the expat point of view, for those working from home - as you do, as I do - we are not really affected by this. But if you live in the conurbano, and work in capital, it is quite a different story. I think, not even Mahatma Gandhi in his prime could shrug this off.

Alberto Fernandez is for you a peronist or not? I am asking because an increasing number of life-long Peronists have already abandoned him and deny that he is a "real Peronist" (e.g. Guillermo Moreno, former minister under Nestor Kirchner). Regarding Menem: as long as his plan was working, no...

It is beyond a joke: for two years the feminist Kirchner fraction was putting the lenguaje inclusivo as a first priority. The pañuelos verdes waving the flags in the congreso. Then after the PASO what happens: Kristina wrote a "card" against Alberto (obviously not in lenguaje inclusivo), a...

What about Boudou (that's the guy with the printing press) for example? He was convicted 30+ times through all the instances. Still, he serves as a poster boy for the "presos políticos" campaign.

Everyone is totally free to get the news from "alternative" sources ("you need to go beyond the mainstream media... "), and can convert facts into opinions and vice versa. As far as I am concerned: this lawfare theory - the idea that some dark forces (CIA, jews, Bilderberger... ?) are...

Wouldn't it actually also be an option for Alberto to walk away now and hand over the responsibility to the Ks? After all, he has already fulfilled his lifelong dream of becoming president. And before finishing his 4 year mandate and going down as the worst president in Argentina's history, he...

Without the Ks he is also down to a 20% party. So the "moderates" (a strange term to describe this lot) also need the K.

I agree that they can make life impossible for Alberto now, even forcing him out of the office. But I don't think it is that simple for the Ks now. They are a party / fraction that attracts between 15% and 20% of the population for now. So for now the K need Alberto as much as he needs them...

A couple of years ago I was looking into that. In our case it was so expensive that in the end we sold our stuff in Europe and then bought again here. At that time Argentina was (and probably still is) one of the most expensive places for container shipping. The container shipping costs were at...

I wouldn't worry too much. Based on my experience over the last 5 years with numerous entries I would say you have a less than 5 % chance that they will even ask you anything. (last time I came in a couple of weeks ago with my personal work laptop, a new macbook for my wife, a new macbook for my...

How are these in person visits? Are they only checking whether you are at home or are they also checking whether some other people (e.g. relatives or house maid) are in the house as well (even though they are not supposed to do quarantine)?

Looks like my problem got solved overnight ... https://www.infobae.com/politica/2021/08/05/rehabilitaran-desde-el-sabado-la-reunificacion-familiar-para-que-regresen-al-pais-extranjeros-que-son-parientes-directos-de-argentinos/

You are certainly right. In theory.

Currently I and my family are in Europe. Our flight back to Argentina is scheduled for the end of August. As my wife is a non-resident here and I am not a resident in Argentina, we might have to spend a few months outside the Schengen area in Europe until the situation in Argentina normalizes...
