    Half tostado!?

    In some places you are also able to order half a piece of cake, and basically half serving of most main courses. And fries you can also get half a serving in many places.

    The total price you are paying for a 2 br in Villa Crespo plus building fees is average market price, it is not outrageous, but I am sure there are other properties available, if you have proof of income or garantia, you should be fine. Leaving early and terminating the contract will only...

    For the time being, I think that exchanging a few more dollars and making a CDI deposit in pesos, will at least give you a bit of extra money ( do not think long term, more short to mid term ). October 2025 we have mid term elections, so expect inflation and dollar sit still ( or as still as...

    Forgot to mention that those living in the province of Buenos Aires, not in the city, will see higher increases on their real estate related taxes etc as Gov. Kiciloff aims to keep certain policies from CFK administration, but without the subsidies removed by the current administration. This...

    As for the current dollar value, in my household we have always tried to keep having a foreign income, and a % in pesos ( less than half ).

    22% of the UBA medical students are foreigners

    Not everything and everybody are the same to be honest. I have had many classmates and colleagues from other countries.

    How much of a problem is the language barrier in your daily life as an expat?

    Afaik Japanese would not accept any other language other than their own. They refuse to learn and speak English and they truly believe that you should learn their language to communicate with them and not the other way around, as opposed to Chinese and Taiwanese for example.
