i think he may talking about the bolivian expats usurping properties and recieving government welfare. or maybe the senegalese "expats" selling chinese crap on the sidewalk. otherwise i don't know what hes talking about, ive met a grand total of 5 expats in the second largest city over the past...

my host country? i don't subscribe to your understanding of things. we are all humans with liberty to move around geography, borders and restrctions are an affront to that human right. no country is hosting me. i support myself. i can criticize what i damn well please. thank you. it is...

why the f does everyone and their mother have a story of someone involved in the correo stealing their damn package. country is just full of criminal scum.

right lol the majority of "expats" are in 2 or 3 neighborhoods of buenos aires. i dont care about how many nomads are hanging out in palerma at any given moment renting a temporary unit. how many migrants is what interests me. people married / with kids. permanent res / citizenship, owners of...

im a yanqui immigrant in argentina and also have been wanting for a long time to make it to the rural life and escape the city. my wife finished her degree, now we're beginning to look at properties, and cant wait to raise children in a healthier environment in the campo. if God wills it we hope...

argentine tax system is designed to be avoided. literally in the law it almost tells you how to avoid the tax. its like it only officially exists and if you're dumb enough to pay them, they'll take it

good luck with that. sure, theres a few blocks in the center of cordoba capital where the spanish colonial history is still evident, with cobblstone streets and european architecture. its also where the dirtiest of the city congregate. but a few blocks is about it, and its not considered the...

they don't exist here, and are technically illegal. all non traditional nicotine products are prohibited in argentina, outside of nicotine gum which is regulated as a pharmacuetical. have to bring your stock from US, or just chew regular rolling tobacco like i do.

in my 3 + years here in cordoba capital ive met a few yanqui expats, although never have gone out of my way to look for them as integration has been my goal. one from the gym, one my neighbor "(que casualidad) and one who rented an apartment i had via airbnb.

Can’t help but smile while reading this. All the praising and love for Argentina, evaporated and replaced by complains, disdain, plans to leave.. good riddance. It shows how the loyalty obly went as long as it was good times. But now that you feel what an Argentine feels, it’s Chao. And what’s...

i definitely moved here for social reasons. i like how white people aren't being persecuted like back in the states

i actually brought all 3 with me

its not a bad place to eat farm fresh basic foods. because what you find for sale is garbage. so you have to looks for farmers. which are by no means readily accessible.

this is crazy. at that point i probably wouldnt have demanded a lawyer and claimed some type of human rights.

If you’re a inner city renting porteño that could be the case. For people like me who own their house the rent being cheap isn’t a factor. And when you aren’t a subway rider but live in a different province, and have to own a car and pay 2x or more for the same car in the US. Otherwise sure...

how many expats do you think left in the past year? as cost of living here is as much or greater than the US, what percentage of people do you imagine have left? has there been a slow down on acitivty of this forum , for a good metric? I know i came here and fell in love, and moved definitely in...

honestly cant relate to this. i find the blue cheese and morcilla here to be excellent. like, some of the few local cheese thats not bland bullshit. surprising that something with a mature flavor is commonly found like blue cheese. now with the olives, yeah they kinda suck.

its a miracle when a verduleria stocks aji (chile peppers) . the silver lining about the shit food and selection here is that it allows you to simplify, or minimalize your diet because flavor isn't to be found tempting you. you can eat a very healthy simply and cheap diet here by taking...
