I'm an illustrator, not an economist, so forgive me for my visual thinking. Someone posted a picture of the post-pandemic 'inflation bump', and it's not so different proportionally from Europe and the USA; it just occurred later (and at a different scale, because, Argentina). The inflation was...

Those guys who broke in on 'Copa Mundial' day and waved flags from the top were on to something!

Somehow it worked for me with passport number. Which you need memorized when the package arrives.

Hunh I forgot about this thread... I went to buy a used electric kettle from a guy in Caballito this weekend, and I had a devil of a time communicating with him because he had 'lost his phone', so he could only respond when he was at his computer. He said to bring cash. I said, okay let's meet...

Just for future reference, it seems indrive doesn't include guys to carry the stuff up a flight of stairs... Bit I'll download it for smaller things. The guys I hired were cursing up a storm, but they got the thing up the stairs.

Same with Colorado. Very easy to vote. The person who asked about the embassy should lookat his state's info online, that would determine it, not the feds.

I'm looking at a small wardrobe today and since I won't know I'm buying it until I see it, it's hard to schedule a flete days in advance. Too big for a cab... But would probably fit in a miniflete. I searched online and I found a few but they all seem to have failed.

I can't believe all the new coffee places in Villa Crespo, and they're not cheap. They aren't exactly full either. I don't get what they were thinking, but they probably all opened up in the past year. It's weird. They're charging very close to USA prices.

If not, there should be.

Any nice gyms in Villa Crespo? I'm thinking I'll just walk up to XXL on Scalabrini, because their prices were reasonable 2 years ago... not sure what they would be now, of course they don't publish them...

Yeah, I'm guessing either there wasn't good communication between the local PD and SS, or there was just confusion. I heard one report that a cop scaled the ladder to investigate, was confronted by the shooter, and ducked down; whereupon the shooter immediately took his shot. I would imagine the...

I just bought my tickets online for the other operas this season... will be back in September, woo hoo. (the other operas aren't as 'popular' as Carmen, but you can get seats up in the nosebleed for around $10 USD, and I've never been to an opera there that wasn't awesome)

I hear ya. When I was taking yoga in my Palermo gym, not only was it in spanish (which is fine) but they had 'soothing' new age music playing so I could barely hear the instructor. Which they also do in USA (alas), but it's advanced comprehension to understand barely audible 2nd language.

Wow the asado index shows a large leap since the end of Feb (I came back to the states to do some stuff around that time)... is that general inflation across the board, or is beef out of proportion? I had been reading that inflation rate is coming down.

Mr. Market promised that wealth would inevitable trickle down, luxury housing construction would lower prices, and free market healthcare would result in competition. Mr. Market is frequently led astray.

Hunh. I need the Certificado de domicilio, the police said they would mail it to me (I brought ID and a bill). Never got it, 2 weeks later. I guess I'll visit again.

My first time here (years ago) I used bytargentina.com , which seemed to be more 'regulated' than Craigslist or FB or whatnot. At the time I had to physically go to the byt office and sign contracts and give them the money (this was back in 2014 or 2015?), but they didn't demand a deposit. It...

I'm still trying to figure out whether it makes sense to apply for temporary/permanent residency or continue as a yearly tourist, and a lot has to do with taxes. I read online various 'facts' as to how long you reside in country before becoming a tax resident (after 9 months a year? after 12...

Looks like Wyoming is the only state spared in a 500 warhead strike. Not that I would recommend it to live. One of my friends left BA for Pittsburg a couple years ago and seems to like it. YMMV, of course. Cold at times.
