We used to call Chile “nice but expensive”! Now Argentina is expensive but what you get for your buck in return is lower quality.

Yes housing is more expensive in London but you can earn a lot more money in London that you can afford renting a decent flat or house. If you go a little bit further out of London just 30 mins train ride then you have bigger properties for less. I took the bus from Heathrow to the city and it...

Left Argentina a week ago. Landed in London and first thing I’ve realised was how cheap London is compared to BsAs and how convenient it is as in easy to commute from the airport, access to decent and inexpensive variety of foods.

I shop at Decathlon often. Their stuff is not cheap at all. That’s what I was thinking tho. I got my snowboard boots from them still going strong after 3 years using 20 days a year. I bought a snowboard jacket to wear while riding my Vespa in London when it’s raining and it’s almost everyday and...

Zero chance!? This is the business model of Decathlon! Not saying they aim to put other businesses out of business but they come with all different sports goods from karate to kayak, tennis to hiking under one roof and they create massive competition with their own brands at very competitive prices.

An Argentine brand of bottle of water is a lot more expensive here than a UK brand of a water in the UK. All the supermarkets offering discounts everyday to a different bank card each day. A supermarket can not offer 20% discount as their margins are too little. But they do it here. Restaurants...

If you really think it’s the taxes then I got nothing to say to you.

Yes the confidence is coming back. That’s a very good point. I remember Fallabella. Also remember Walmart. Wouldn’t blame them leaving under the economic conditions and fiscal policies they were experiencing here though. I just want a big player bringing big competition and those rip off places...

I was thinking the same whether it’ll be equally cheap but they mostly sell their own brands. Their tennis shoes/wear, ski clothing, canoes you name it and they have it. I really want to see those greedy rip off establishments go bust with the serious competition coming into the country.

I would do a lot for a proper afternoon tea. Scones and clotted cream. Also fish & chips. Or a pub food.

Yes, cooking at home is way to go as the food at restaurants are awful. Forget about the variety, even the existing restaurants don’t know the restaurant business. Unfortunately, at the moment can’t cook at home and feel extremely food deprived!

Carilo probably the best place in Argentina. Very very small. But the food is great and I think they have the best pizza in Argentina in Carilo. You will see the place. It was a small restaurant on the side but now they have enormously expanded. Forgot the name but you can’t miss it. Go to Rada...

Why are you ashamed? I do not know how it is in Morocco. But I know Turkey quite well and the medical services in Turkey are far superior than in the US. And it’s free! I do not know what glamour is to you but not having to worry about having an insurance and getting superb medical treatment...

I have been to Tandil twice. It’s a decent small city famous for tennis and cuchillos artesanales. Stayed at an amazing campo style hotel, Hosteria de la Cascada. Fabulous hotel with a great restaurant. There are some seriously good restaurants in the city as well. The hotel was kinda mismanaged...

AMEX seems to have the worst rate. My uk credit card used to charge almost at the blue rate but not anymore. It is still the best to WU your money and put it into your AR account and use the card and get the discounts. For example Santander got 30% off at COTO on Tuesdays I think. Yesterday used...

book for a week. If you like it extend for another 3 weeks directly.

I don’t think you will have any issues but you will be an illegal alien. Why would you want that? And please be aware that this country became more and more expensive than anywhere. It’s nowhere near the past years in terms of affordability. Now it’s like bad quality for more as opposed to last...

English cuisine or the food in England? English cuisine is far better imo. You can find any food in the UK. Over here they can’t even make a proper burger or pizza. Apart from that, they don’t know the food business; I’ve found a place with great pizza and the manager said they make masa madre...
