    Visa expiration date

    Thank you for that, I too never received an email. I arrived on Colonia Express a couple months ago from Montevideo. I entered my details in that site but it didn’t work. Am I safe to assume 90 days and take enough pesos in case of an overstay when I depart? I’ll be taking a ferry back to...

    Visa expiration date

    Hi, Since the introduction of digital stamps over physical ones, how do I find out when my tourist visa expires online? I presume that I was given 90 days but I want to be certain to plan my reluctant return to Europe

    Food or medicine? Inflation squeezing retirees in Argentina

    As a, regrettably, junk food eater I find that junk food tends to be more expensive relatively than in England. Fortunately I tend to snack on crisps and the quality of crisps here are pretty poor and also relatively more expensive which has been good for my intake of crap

    Rentals. The most controversial points of the law that the Senate could approve

    I’d argue that temporary rentals are going to continue to be more popular as they are more lucrative. Particularly with Buenos Aires being significantly cheaper than many other comparable size cities. For instance my large apartment here costs a third of the minimum I’d be paying in my hometown...

    Topping up Personal

    That’s reassuring to know. My replacement has already been delivered to England but I won’t have it until I return. My primary concern the whole time is making sure my data is irretrievable. If they factory reset it then I’m happy enough. £100 excess and buying a temporary phone here is a price...

    Topping up Personal

    In any case I’m curious to continue tracking it. It seems to bounce periodically all over Cordoba so whoever retrieved it seems to be working hard to ascertain some value from it. I’ve taken screenshots of each place it sits in, which tends to be at least 5 days at a time. if they manage to...

    Topping up Personal

    Yeah I don't expect anything to come from the report. I can still track the phone on find my iPhone and I also put it in lost mode and erased it remotely the morning after it was stolen. I too am curious of the value of the bricked phone. It was an iPhone 13 pro max so pretty new. I wonder if...

    Topping up Personal

    Thanks again for this. Just wanted to give an update. I raised a complaint via the link you gave me and used that as part of my claim - they requested further when I raised the claim that I provide my invoice for the phone and insurance, along with a police reference number. I provided both and...

    Craft Beer in Buenos Aires

    Only just noticed this. I’ll check them out. Strange brewing is fantastic and they have lovely food. An honourable mention for a bar I recently discovered in San Telmo - Santo Remedio. Love the decor, best diversity of beer I’ve seen in a bar in Buenos Aires and the staff are friendly and speak...

    Cash, Debit Card, Credit Card, ATM, and MEP Rate

    I'm sure it's overall a good thing though I'm not sure that the cobbled roads they seem to be installing are something I'm keen on. My only gripe is that taxis often cancel when they get nearby and get fed up of the desvios and that deliveries take longer. These certainly are not real problems...

    Cash, Debit Card, Credit Card, ATM, and MEP Rate

    I feel there's a massive discrepancy across barrios as regards to fixing things. On the other end of the spectrum, San Telmo seems to be in a constant flux of every one of four roads at an intersection is closed for roadworks which can be kinda annoying

    Equivalent to Santos Manjares around Palermo?

    La Azulada was my first ever time eating in a restaurant in Buenos Aires, I was staying two doors down. Lovely establishment. I remember being so surprised though that they didn't take card. I wonder if they do now?

    Dengue in the City of BA

    My house gecko couldn’t possibly compete with the volume of mosquitos I get in my apartment. Part of me hopes he will bring some other gecko friends to feast but in light of the rise in dengue I ought to shut my windows more often. I find burning the mosquito coils (not sure the exact name of...
