This is not a diet I would recommend for most people. Focusing on whole animal proteins is good advice (but no need to avoid non farmed fish) and organic chicken is available. However, advising people to consume lots of dairy is truly terrible advice as the lactose will cause immune system...

La Rioja has a very particular accent. They pronounce the letter “R” with somewhat of a cross between the English “sh” and “z” sound. The western part of the province is absolutely phenomenal for outdoor adventures FYI

Clause “d” appears to be the only one a reasonable person could get tripped up on. I remember BajoCero commenting upon this a few years ago. Essentially if a naturalized Argentine citizen represents himself to an Argentine government authority to be a citizen of his country of origin...

This is simply not true. I’ve stayed at 5 start hotels in Mendoza, Bariloche and Ushuaia numerous times since early 2021 and always paid USD quoted rates in pesos cash at the official rate.

This, if true, will change everything.

MoneyGram appears to be back to normal. A $1k USD transfer arrived with a couple hours, same day into my local bank account.

I attempted a transfer to an employee with an account at Banco Provincia today and it was rejected by said financial institution and thus cancelled by MoneyGram.

Try 1175 bar and lounge located on Uruguay between Santa Fe and arenales. I went there a few times recently to watch baseball and college football games and I assume they will be open for all World Cup games as showing sports seems to be their thing.

The Jockey Club has a steam room, sauna, pool, gym, and many other nice amenities and services at their downtown location located on Alvear and Cerrito. Realistically membership is only an option for well connected and established long term residents of the Buenos Aires metropolitan area...

If you are really pressed for cash look for flights to Europe originating out of GRU or GIG airport in Brazil and book a separate ticket on FlyBondi to position there.

Nespresso/Starbucks co branded capsules are available for sale at Disco supermarkets. Of course there is a Nespresso store at Alto Palermo mall and another Nespresso store on the corner of Montevideo and Quintana that have the full selection of Nespresso capsules. Nespresso's Argentina...

The only plazo fijo that keep up with the rate of inflation (and actually beats it by 1%) is called a Plazo Fijo UVA; these yield the rate of inflation as reported by INDEC +1% annually. Banks do not want to offer this product and some have even resorted to taking this product off their home...

Cavas Wine Lodge is an excellent place to stay in Mendoza and has a good restaurant. El Enemigo and Lagarde both have excellent restaurants with multi course menus that are paired (of course) with wine.

A few months ago I applied for and instantly approved for both a visa and MasterCard from Supervielle bank with a total credit limit of just over 600.000 pesos. I’m a naturalized Argentine citizen (used BajoCero’s services ). I’ve never had a job in white here but I am the majority shareholder...

The gunman "didn't miss". He did not rack the slide to put the first round into the chamber as is required with all semi automatic pistols. As such he pulled the trigger and the gun did not fire. He either didn't know how to use a semi auto pistols, got nervous and forgot to rack the slide...

Long time local business owner with local employees here. This plan will be a complete failure as it ignores the reason for half the labor force being unregistered and there being almost zero private employment creation (which is the root cause behind inflation in Argentina). The reason of...

The story of the Macri era IMF agreement has largely been mythologized and the reasons for it and the consequences of accepting an IMF bailout (or not) misunderstood. At the beginning of the Macri administration tens of billions of new USD and peso denominated debt was issued because the...
