I'd feel a bit of an idiot if I tried to mimic exactly how Porteños speak like Dustin, I'm Scottish, not Porteño. I reduce my accent as much as possible to avoid misunderstanding but if someone just forces a specific accent or uses phrases unnatural for a non native it would come across as...

I agreed with making it legal in the belief that a safe, secure abortion in a public hospital would be preferable to an illegal one, but like stated before I don't get the mass celebrations as if they have won a world cup, ending a life isn't something I'd typically crack open the champagne for.

I arrived here as a backpacking "nomad" one day before they closed the border, this week I moved in with my Argentinian girlfriend, life comes at you fast..

I try to take a neutral stance on Argentine politics given I arrived in March but I already love watching my favorites on C5N try to backtrack and defend (or in C5N's case, completely ignore) situations like this.

As someone that arrived in March on a tourist visa and now staying long term it will be interesting to see the details of the dedicated visa for the Digital Nomads programme.

Colegiales near Palermo is also a good option, I stayed there for a few months. For a one bedroom apartment I was paying around 430 USD a month based on the then Western Union conversion rate which was 100 pesos to the dollar at the time, now at around 140.

Nothing wrong with the behaviour, I just find it amusing that no one can admit to having a boring dating life in a new country as an expat, everyone is around the clock "hitting it". It's chat I'd expect amongst a bunch of 14 year old boys.

It always amuses me that threads like these on Expat forums are guaranteed to have at least one or two "casanovas" who have apparently slept their way through half the native population.

My Argentinian partner gives around 10% based on the level of service, similar to the UK in a way I think.

If the figures continue as they are is there not a chance that Argentina is going to surpass Brazil in terms of the number of deaths per head of population? I was in favor of the lockdown at the beginning, buying the country time to prepare the health system and educate the population. But...

Thanks, can only say no to an Argentinian partner so many times..

Has anyone else had recent experience with crossing by car into the provincia from the city and know if there are many controls? My girlfriend (who has permission to travel) is pushing me to go with her to her mum's house soon which is just over the city limit but I'm a bit hesitant given I'm...

Happened to me for the first time a couple of weeks ago, it's most likely location specific.

182 pesos for your Euro, and here was me transfering at 115 a few months back thinking I better take advantage before it drops..

In almost a year of teaching English I don't think I've taught one Argentinian, I'd definitely not recommend teaching for someone focused solely on the Buenos Aires market.

It's now a running joke with my girlfriend that every day in Argentina is another day I don't have to work due to Western Union.

I'd suggest looking into teaching English online while looking for something in your degree area, with the value of the USD vs Peso you would probably be earning more from part time online English teaching vs a traditional office job paid in pesos.

I'm glad someone else noticed "illegal dollar" references, C5N started to reference the "illegal dollar" as soon as they had to employ damage limitation to the central bank's decision to control access to the dollar.

It looks to be that the way to beat the virus is having a well developed test and trace system in place, quarantining only those who have been in potential contact with the virus while everyone else gets on with life. While he blames social gatherings Alberto might want to see where they are at...

I want the best for Argentina but when you earn in USD a trip to Western Union is currently like Christmas morning as a 6 year old.
