Is this story filed under "Expat Life" because Maduro is now living the expat life? :-)

You mentioned language difficulties in your thread about a cardiologist: I made some suggestions. You've now expanded upon your original comments: let me expand upon mine. Most Argentine doctors can speak English. This is a fact. For instance, for many years medical students at UBA Medical...

I know I've said this before but it might have been years ago but I always read the articles you post to this thread and I always enjoy them. Thank you @Ries

......which, in my opinion, makes it all the more important that you find out what really affected the whole of your family in this way before it happens again. Food poisoning might just be a dodgy takeaway but CO poisoning could come back and bite you all most tragically if not identified.

Alternatively, if you anticipate that a family member is planning to murder you, Agatha Christie style, by arsenic poisoning, do what they do in her books and take a prophylactic dose. You could do it every day through the water supply. For best results, anticipate the murder several...

Don't most people in CABA already have water meters? Genuine question since all the apartment blocks I've known have had meters with the water charges being apportioned to residents on the basis of sq/m and the houses I know have individual ones facing the street. In fact it was only because of...

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/11/16/mileis-shock-therapy-britains-current-reforms-look-feeble/ Archived version; https://archive.ph/ed0sZ Big on words like fiscal, investment and deficit, the article doesn't mention ordinary people in either country once.

There are more than a dozen specialist Argentine shops in the Denver Metro area and I have a feeling that if there were anything like as many as 30,000 US citizens in Buenos Aires there would be a much bigger presence of US imported goods on the streets - regardless of price and import restrictions

Many people do a little detective work and find a lot of Mercado Libre sellers have a different online presence or better still, a bricks and mortar business where they sell their stock and often at much better than platform prices

https://observer.co.uk/news/international/article/trumps-argentine-bailout-stokes-growing-dissent-among-maga-faithful I'm not experiencing any barriers to reading this or any other Observer articles but if anybody finds there are difficulties then I'll post an archive link

How long are you planning to stay? I have always understood that one of the big plus points of schools like Lincoln is that not only do they follow the US curriculum but they follow the US school calendar too. That makes them perfect for visiting company executives and diplomats etc because when...

Fascinating and very plausible. But tell me more of "the Biden-Harris regime's reckless culling of egg-laying hens last year." of which ZeroHedge speaks in its final pargraph? Weren't these the birds which caught a variety of Avian Flu which the CDC says jumped species twice? First into cattle...

The New York Times seems to think Trump is talking about the mid-terms this month: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/world/americas/argentina-trump-javier-milei.html Paragraph 2: To secure help from the United States, Mr. Trump made clear on Tuesday, Mr. Milei’s embattled political party would...

Some owners bypass the agents by displaying a banner across the balcony facing the street. The banner advertises that the apartment is for rent and gives a contact phone number. My brother in law does it this way though he's got nothing vacant at the moment. It saves a lot of extra expense and...

I've just been listening to the item on the BBC World Service that this article by Ione Wells has been derived from. I'm not quite sure how much World Service radio is actually available in Argentina since the BBC changed access arrangements outside the UK but maybe try one or all of these...

That's a good point. I wonder the same thing about the census in Argentina. As I understand it, Argentina's Census Day is a public holiday when several hundred thousand enumerators all over the country try to find and record everyone else. I'd love to know how accurate that is. In the UK...

No scheduled flights as far as I can tell but I'm seeing charter flights between IGR and AGT for around $300 each way. Make your own negotiations with the companies at the airport. Bear in mind that the region is pretty notorious so expect to get the strip search and rubber glove treatment at...

Oooh! Dogwhistle, dogwhistle, dogwhistle! Only 7% of the population of London are Pakistani/Bangladeshi and just 15% of all and any ethnicities count themselves as Moslem (Census 2021) so if any of that were true, how did the Mayor of London get re-elected in 2024 with 44% of the vote on a...
