    I cant view the archived version anywhere - any ideas?

    Vaca Muerta will demand more than 40,000 additional workers

    Tucuman is missing from the map - and this was published by the government

    Trump's favourite populist followed his playbook. It's gone wrong.

    The other thing to watch out for is what the opposition will do to destabilise Milei. Look at what’s happening in Bolivia. That could easily happen here. Similar things have happened in the past. And who knows. I firmly believe business could turn on Milei, if they haven’t already. Just...

    Trump's favourite populist followed his playbook. It's gone wrong.

    It’ll be interesting to see what happens next. 18 months till the election. The only thing playing in Milei’s favour is the heavily divided opposition.

    Can I enter Paraguay with my DNI as US citizen?

    I’ve crossed to Brazil and UY many times with my DNI, but always with my passport in my back pocket just in case. Only once had an issue, which was in Colonia in 2018, but that was when I had temporary one and they asked to see my passport which I had with me. Personally, I wouldn’t risk it...

    I am traumatized every time I go to the supermarket

    you can get cheaper, but it’s a full time job comparing prices and lots buying in bulk. Taking advantage of special offers. Compare rates on Rappi/PedidsYa (same price as supermarkets). If you work full time like me and have hobbies etc after works, it’s INCREDIBLY hard eating well and at a...

    The decline of domestic tourism in Argentina

    AlwaysGym on Guatemala. It now costs 60k per month when you pay the full year upfront in 3 cuotas, cash obviously. That promo gets you 5 months free, so I guess a month would be around 100k+ (too tired to do the maths) with "pay as you go". Back in Nove 2023, when I signed up for th first time...

    The decline of domestic tourism in Argentina

    But is there really that much money stashed away? Walking around Palermo is bleak these days, the amount of commercial places with the shutters down and ALQUILA sign up is crazy. I can also work out comfortably at 6/7/8pm in the gym now as it’s dead. Previously those hours were horrendous. We...

    The decline of domestic tourism in Argentina

    We went to Mendoza in October last year and Iguazu at Easter, and regretted it both times. My other half earns in pesos, so we have a local view of prices - and travelling in Argentina is pricey for what you get, especially in ARS. More than anything eating. In Iguazu, you’ll spend at least...

    Disappointed with Food in Argentina

    😅😅😅😅😅 There’s just such a juxtaposition between the cultured-looking journalist and the plate of, frankly, child’s food.

    I lived in a country which hit 193% inflation

    I know of this guy from an social/meetup group — it’s worth adding he was here pre-Milei and then left when inflation started hitting those who earn in foreign currencies.

    Argentina is better than Australia

    Yeah I bitch and moan about BA and Argentina, but would much rather live here than my native London. I find almost all your comparisons would apply to comparing London and BA too. One thing I would add is drunkeness. British people are alcoholics, the culture revolves around it - and I...

    Western Union money transfer

    The dollar crypto also jumped about 3% this week. Maybe a sneaky devaluation while the whole country was distracted talking about Trump withdrawing support for the Falklands in favour of the Malvinas. Who knows?

    Government bars all accredited reporters from presidential palace

    Awful, it's censorship and trampling on the institutions. I hate feeling like wehave to choose between extremes, in the whole word right now, It's either far-right hatred and nationalism or lefty socialism and wokeism, what happened to the middle ground? I want sensible free market capitalism...

    How's everyone hanging in there with the cost of living these days?

    Look on the bright side, for those of us who work and aren’t retired, we can now provide services here and charge ok. It’s no longer necessary to work online 100% for US/European companies.

    Disappointed with Food in Argentina

    How I miss Devoto. They were everywhere and have bakeries, so you can get fresh French stick bread quickly And easily at 8am or 11pm. Imagine that here.

    Disappointed with Food in Argentina

    Imports are more readily available and cheaper is a win for sure. But eating out is still ridiculously expensive for the poor quality. The bagels I see are all like 20k, $14 USD for what will probably be a small portion, with shit quality bread and lacklustre at best mediocre ingredients. Not...

    Disappointed with Food in Argentina

    Uruguay is expensive for eating out...check out the Tienda Inglesa in Montevideo Shopping, its a hypermarket with a big kitchen that sells fresh food grab-and-go style, with lots of variety and decent quality and ok prices.

    Where can I buy beans?

    What you can get quickly, easily, ready-made and of decent quality in a supermarket in the UK, in Argentina needs to be done manually, from scratch, buying each ingredient from a different place, and the hours of work that implies. I understand that to cook beans you need to leave them in water...
