I have had 2 esims in my phone for years. One movistar, one verizon for usa. In each country, I make the line for the other one wifi only, turn off roaming. occasionally I turn on my US line when in Argentina for a few minutes, to make sure there are no sms or other messages, but I dont use it...

The rehearsal space building, which, of course, is a Centro Cultural. They have shows there. https://www.facebook.com/saldiaspolocultural/

On the 5th we had a real “from the gutter to the stars” kind of night, a very Buenos Aires night. It was clear and warm, a full moon, and we went to La Nube, an outdoor club in the bosque of the Costanera, a club where dogs are welcome, and only the bar and the banos are in a building. The roof...

Oil and gas booms have not helped the poor in Nigeria, or Venezuela, Indonesia or Louisiana, Iran or Iraq, Mexico or Brazil, China, Siberia, Kazakhastan, or Angola. Still plenty of poverty in West Texas. About the only place it has is Norway, where the social democratic government levies a 78%...

I am sure this happened. But its pretty rare, and, obviously, it didnt work. There are many countries in the world where this happens, only the guy is wearing a gun, and takes you into a room where no one can see you. Argentina is just not a high risk of this. We had an incident in Uruguay once...

for anyone searching to buy an apartment, I suggest you go on either argenprop or zonaprop, and "ver mapa" in a given neighborhood you are considering. I do this on a computer, not a phone, so I can have one window open with google maps, and, when I click on an apartment in the real estate site...

We were involved in a sale where the buyer got a mortgage. Her employer had a special deal with a bank, and while I don’t know for sure, I think it involved direct deposit of all salaries of the firm into that bank, some degree of employer responsibility, relatively high interest rate and short...

Its interesting that, when the government wants to, changes can happen pretty quickly. But changing laws like this seems to be on nobody in power's priority list. Milei can ignore civil service laws, and fire people. He got rid of over 10% of the government work force, making most things...

the only people I have known who did this successfully were citizens, and had jobs, good jobs, in blanco. There are some special deals in the microcentro, as the city is trying to encourage more residential in empty offices. but unless you have, at a minimum, a dni, and, preferably...

whether they are legal or not, I sure am a lot happier not constantly seeing geriatrics packing heat. I constantly see elderly males with firearms at the home depot, or tractor supply, in my rural USA agricultural county where I live half time. These guys, who are undoubtedly on several kinds...

ask morelli your questions directly. I do things like that all the time- unlike in the USA, most argentine companies actually answer emails, and are family run, so the people who work there usually know the products. https://morelli.com.ar/

Actually its the opposite. The older buildings are better built, quieter, and more temperature stable, while the new ones are shoddily built, noisy, and with very cheap details. Most older apartments need kitchen and bath updates, but have solid wood floors, plaster, as opposed to durock, walls...

something like this is small, but a good location, with nice outdoor space. Obviously, there are bigger, fancier, and more expensive places. https://www.zonaprop.com.ar/propiedades/clasificado/veclapin-departamento-en-venta-2-ambientes-al-frente-con-57548583.html?n_src=Listado&n_pg=1&n_pos=1

my wife and I are in our 70s. we walk around the neighborhood at night all the time. I would not say there is much in the way or "criminal types". I have lived in Buenos Aires a long time, and while there are phone snatchers, generally I find it far safer than US cities. My wife will walk at...

I have had my art studio right in your zone for 6 years now, and have an apartment 2 blocks outside it. We love the neighborhood, and its been getting better every year, with new restaurants, more residents, and more art galleries and nightlife. Great transportation right here, safe, a little...

the album is on bandcamp. I dont use spotify, or other streamers, I buy music, so I dont know where else you can find it. https://fotocomeranas.bandcamp.com/track/intravenosa

Then, a few days later, Foto at Chilavert. This is the second time we went to Chilavert, a working print shop, in two weeks. This time, Togander was playing with Foto, a band she was in over ten years ago. They released an album in 2014. Its a group that fits no categories- on Discogs,they...

I bought an Argentine made Whirlpool in February, and I love it. Its probably the best washer I have ever owned. I also bought an Argentine Morelli gas/electric stove, and it, too, is excellent, repairable, and well priced. So sad. Especially in textiles, the chinese stuff thats being imported...

I always wonder about doomers and libertarians thinking that Argentina is going to be a hospitable place for them. Argentina as we know it, after it was abandoned by the Spaniards due to its lack of Silver and Gold, was settled by left wing workers from Spain and Italy, along with eastern...

Here is La Grande with Barbara Togander, not as far out as much of her solo work.
