    Expat shuffle ...

    When did it happen? Could you also tell us if you had any kind of residency at that time? Did they accept your application and make you wait for a year before denying?

    Samsung charger:

    You may try the computer shopping mall called Galeria Jardin on Florida street, between Lavalle and Tucuman. I am not sure if you will find a genuine Samsung charger. You may have to settle for a generic one. But those are not too bad. Please take your laptop and the old charger to show them...

    "It Might Be Time To Get Out Of Argentina"

    With the currency being artificially so strong for decades, it is almost impossible to open up competition in any form.

    The Macri Debate

    In other news, investors are not finding Argentina attractive at all. https://www.forbes.com/sites/kenrapoza/2018/05/03/it-might-be-time-to-get-out-of-argentina/ More and more people are talking about the resemblance between the current situation and 2001 disaster (corralito). I am scared.

    Selling Dollars At Bank

    For a few hours today the official rate was much higher than the blue rate. Probably that's what confused the OP. Peso depreciated 7.8 per cent today and I guess the cuevas didn't keep up.

    Inflation ???

    This. Also I don't know why members in this forum don't talk about food safety and standards that much. With inflation in prices, things can start a race to the bottom.

    UN World Happiness Report out Finland # 1,.. US # 18, Argentina ?

    Only 4 places ahead of Saudi Arabia(!!). More surprisingly China is #86, behind Libya, Honduras, Pakistan et al. During my short stays in 4 different cities in China a couple of years ago, people in that country seemed to be the happiest in the world. I don't like this ranking.

    Foreigners may be forced to pay for free health care while in the country.

    Foreigners may be forced to pay for free health care while in the country.

    Apologies nikad, but I still cannot get my head around the idea. Are we talking about Jujuy only or all public hospitals in the country? Should they check medical history at borders or immigration records at hospitals? Are we assuming those who want to leech off the system will express their...
