I consider myself very much still learning about Argentina. I have owned an apartment here since 2007. been on this website conversation since 2008. Over the years, I have made an incredible number of very good Argentine friends. Who will lend me money, invite me to a family meal on a holiday...

January is slow. I am behind on the last thing I saw in December. We went to the final night of the season at Suena Washington. The people who run it leave Argentina in the summer, so it wont start again until April. This evening was Matías Lourenço (aka LOWRENZ) and his band and invitados...

Everyone should choose the diet that works for them. Everyone is different. My grandmother lived to 101 smoking cigarettes and eating ballpark franks and tv dinners. I have known vegan atheletes who died of cancer under 50. You play the cards you are dealt. Nobody lives forever. I can tell...

years ago an american I knew had a siezure in my kitchen. we called the ambulance, they were there in a few minutes, he spent 3 days in the public hospital, and was treated as well for a broken shoulder when he hit the floor. No charge. I think Milei is trying to tighten things up and it may...

Why would you exclude actual carnicerias who make chorizo in house using high quality fresh ingredients? All large corporate food has similar compromises made for profit, shelf life, and scale. Its Industrial. Buy from a single store owner operated carniceria, they are actually usually pretty...

Uruguay has many areas that are quite remote from big cities. Certainly there are higher and lower prices. But I was amazed at the everyday prices in non-tourist areas. We did not visit Punta, and in Montevideo we stay in downtown, not Pocitos or Punta Carretas or even Ciudad Viejas. Just...

I dont go to big box stores, and aside from Montevideo I didn’t see any Tienda Inglesas in the small rural areas I was in. But online, it says a miga at TI is 330 ur pesos, which is about 8$ us. I did go to a fresh market, which is part of the Devoto chain, and their sandwiches were all over ten...

I give more credence to people who post factual links to back up their points.

I have been in Uruguay for a week, missing migas, A chivito sandwich here is fifteen to twenty dollars, most things are 1.5 or 2 times as expensive as Argentina. 8 dollar beers in most restaurants, five dollar cokes. Tha actually expensive restaurants are atmospheric in price. Mallman has a...

Also, this Andy Ngo guy is as far from a credible source as you can get.He is an “ influencer” who makes his living posting unprovable assertions, mostly about “ antifa” on his phone. Like Trump, he engages in high publicity lawsuits which he consistently loses. He is, basically, an entertainer.

This guy exists. He has been arrested. There is zero proof anywhere that he is a “ member” of any group.

No one has ever voted for “antifa”. There is no party, no candidates, and no organization. It would be like voting for “exercise” or “ weight loss”. Many people are opposed to facism, thats a personal belief, just like some people believe in god, or the benefits of only eating meat. You cant...

I am heavily invested in peseta coins and 2 peso bills. Once Milei beats inflation I will be a millionaire.

In my home state of Washington, a barber must complete approximately 8 months of full time training, to be able to cut hair, vs the 47 days before you can wear a mask, carry automatic weapons, and make warrantless “ arrests” as an ICE agent. 2 years of classroom training and 2 years of...

The Netherlands are heavily affected by the toxic state or US politics, andtthe Netherlands are also having charged discussions about immigration, deportation, and race. Partij voor de Vrijheid, anyone? Trump is using economic, cultural, diplomatic, and military actions all over the world...

I dont know a single 70 year old american in my home area there, Skagit County, who doesnt depend on immigrants, some of whom are undocumented, for planting, harvesting and packing the crops, working in every restaurant, doing most of the construction work, yard work, home, hospice, and health...

Its true that 50 years ago or more the Montoneros, who were mostly from the upper middle class, killed somewhere around 500 people, mostly military officers and police. And then, the government killed 5000 Montoneros, and 30,000 or so civilians. And its certainly true that Peron, and other...
