Looking at this example, I would consider a monthly rent in Airbnb the far better option. On top of that, you have (more) reliable reviews, better options / transparency and you don't have to deal with real estate agents. (I know that doesn't go well here with the Airbnb haters here; but...

Since 1989, Peronists were in power for most part (all but 6 years). Of those, 16 years a Kirchner was either head of state or as vice. The obvious conclusion would be that clearly it is not working, that something needs to change. So how to explain it to the plebs? A number of external...

It is very interesting to see what is going to happen, from an individual's perspective in the Peronist party. We can assume that things will get much worse in the months to come: Alberto: what's in it for him to stay in power as a lame duck until December (the Ks will keep torturing him). He...

I would like him to step down now, forcing the K's hands; so a K (De Pedro? La Jefa? El Hijo?) is in power until the elections (to remove the foreseeable "Ah pero Alberto" litany)

Why don’t you try a casa de cambio there? They usually also exchange at the blue

Ironically, it was probably just because the document I was carrying with me (authorising travelling me with my daughter alone) that lead to this problem: in this document was a reference to her DNI, and they can easily see that she is an Argentinian citizen. If I were simply travelling with our...

Over the years we came across several issues / problems travelling with kids: 1) once we were going with our girl to Uruguay with Buquebus. Both parents present, but my wife kept her name when we got married. So the child’s surname matches with the father’s but not with her mother’s. Luckily, in...

There are so many temporary rentals coming to the market now (everyone is jumping on this train it seems), the prices (ROI) invariably will be coming down.

I am looking for a lady taking care of the house (mostly cleaning, but casually also looking after kids; although they are mostly in school during the day). Obviously she should be trustworthy. It would be between 5 and 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. After a short probation period, certainly...

I bought a washing machine, a TV, a microwave. I was also about to buy a secarropas, but they just ran out of stock. Brands i bought was 2xSamsung and a Philco. If you go to their website, you see there are various guarantee options. Personally i buy good brands, don’t buy additional...

I stand corrected then .... This is a rather adventurous calculation you are making here ... Are you taking the difference between the blue and the official and dividing this by the official? If the blue is double the official rate, then you get to a discount of 100% (i.e. free)? On top of...

For tennis I recommend strongly the DTC (Darling). It is technically in Boca, but almost borders San Telmo. It is open air, but if it is not raining and too wet, you can play outdoor also in winter months June / July. It is only for socios / members, but they offer tennis classes for...

I think Garbarino went bust last year. Today i went to Fravega: i compared the prices to Mercadolibre and they seem to be more expensive (at least on the articles i was interested in). On top of that, not really the kind of stores where you get a discount for buying a lot of stuff

I need to buy a couple of things such as washing machine, a clothes dryer, a microwave, and two or three TVs. I am looking for good quality, but at the same time ideally I would like to pay in cash (or bank deposits) a seller that gives discount given the quantity of items As a bonus: ideally...

In 2020 we bought a car zero km, paying with a bag full of peso (it was the equivalent of 11 or 12k USD at that time). No questions asked. Not sure whether these "AFIP rules" are different from dealer to dealer or whether they have changed the rules since then.

Distance Geographically isolated Protectionism (Taxes, limited competition, trade unions)

Is this really the case here? I mean I agree that in cities like Barcelona it is a big issue where for every local you have two tourists (I don't know the numbers, but the tourist / local population ratio must be extremely high). In other cities you have party people enjoying a weekend...

Just to make this clear: if you live here on a tourist visa and after years of visa runs you should face a problem at Ezeiza, you can simply state that now you want to live here and they let you in? Without having to fear of being sent back? Just asking for a friend .....

Here is the data of the annual inflation. It is not a US right wing think tank, but coming straight from the Argentinian government (INDEC): As you can see, public transport and healthcare are also included. I agree that for some people it does not affect them, but statistically it is correct...

I might be wrong here. But even if your salary by the end of 2022 is in line with the inflation, you will lose quite a bit of money. Example: As per end of 2021 your salary is 100k, inflation is 100%, your salary by the end of 2022 is 200k. The point is: the salary increases are not done on a...
