And also; great medical system. Wife was hospitalised at a public hospital and they took great care of her. Just bought private insurance that even covers dental, root canals etc. It’s usd 120 and it also covers you abroad up to €100.000 per year.

Why are you limiting yourself to Latam? Why not Spain? First world, EU, full of culture, anything you want you can find, there’s a visa scheme for expats, way cheaper cost of living, delicious food everywhere, great people, mostly sunny, you don’t need to live in a big city to have it all. You...

Family of 4 paying usd 850 for insurance. Expensas 650, nanny ft 650, diapers 300. No rent, no food, no clothing, no petrol, no car, no holidays, no dining out. You do the math :-)

Yes, at least. 2 adults and 3 kids not worth it to move here if you’ll make less than 5000.

I totally agree with you guys. It honestly could ruin a marriage as I have personally experienced that. My wife is born and bred Argentine. She’s got her past here. Friends and family here. She’s ok with no rules traffic. She doesn’t mind neighbours being too loud till late. She loves...

Please try to understand what you read before commenting!

Yeah and the poster didn’t say suburban or city. They’re even not certain on BsAs so I did recommend Nordelta. Speaking out of experience as a long time single guy, married w/o kids and then as a father of 2, I prefer Nordelta even though I’d never live there before i had my kids. But coming...

How can you say “why are people advising ….”? Everyone got their own opinion and entitled to it. No one is forcing anyone to do anything. Just sharing an opinion. But contrary to what you say; it’s not a great urban city at the moment. It was and hopefully it will be one again. It’s an unsafe...

I’d agree with you if they were planning to move and try Argentina but if they’re being transferred here and it’s a corporate thing and the company picks up the bill as well as compensating extra for leaving home country then why not? I know a lot of inter company transfer people and they don’t...

I have been living in Las Canitas and Collegiales most of the time. Now I got kids, we moved to Nordelta. Would I live in Nordelta without kids? No way! But it’s a different story with kids. First of all it’s extremely safe. You don’t lock your car or door. Our windows are always open during...

Ok then. You can’t live just anywhere you like in BsAs with kids. I’d recommend Nordelta as it’d be very convenient with 3 kids. It’s a gated community made up of gated barrios with security and full of amenities. Most houses have pools. Big garden. Two of the best hospitals in the country are...

Hello. Where in Argentina? Buenos Aires?

The coffe I like in London is cheaper than the coffee I like in Buenos Aires! Apart from rent and labour, Argentina is crazy expensive. How’s that possible? You will charge more than UK prices but still pay your staff peanuts. I had a bagel at this chain. Paid £14 for a cheese and tomato bagel...

Good customer service is an institutional policy. Server may be a bad person but do his/her job good. A server may be a lovely person but you may get a bad service. That happens. What if I want to have a nice bread after the lunchtime? 😎 That’s typical Argentine mindset. Love complaining but...

Coffee good or bad. It’s irrelevant. One may like it the other one not. But it’s cheaper in London. Food may not be cheap, after all London is an expensive city but definitely cheaper in London. I can give examples if you like.

I don’t know what you mean by exquisite food but there’s none of that in Buenos Aires. Or very rare! I think you’re in the wrong neighbourhood in Argentina as well! :-). London is full of restaurants cheaper than BsAs and of better quality. Are you sure you were in London, UK? Food is cheap...

I’ve been back and forth for almost half a century and I never saw a good customer service! You may bump into a nice person who serves you (that happens quite a lot) but there isn’t a customer service culture in Argentina. And why not upscale? BTW; by upscale I was referring to not getting back...

That’s what I say always. In Argentina you pay a lot and you don’t get what you pay for. There’s no good customer service. The western style “standards of service” doesn’t exist here. There are upscale places who think selling a bread from yesterday is normal.

Buy local eat local! As if there’s another option! These locals are the ones overcharging!

Right now I am in Spain. I live here not visiting. If you don’t live in Barcelona and Madrid, even the rent is cheaper here. Food is cheap everywhere and delicious. Shopping, medicine, furniture as well. In Argentina we pay OSDE 850 USD for 4, in Spain just got quoted 250 dollars yesterday. If...
