Hello! I need to send a relative money in USD (they need to actually receive USD and not AR) to pay for something in cash in USD. I am in the US and have accounts in both the US and Europe (not in Argentina) any ideas?

So the 200 USD monthly limit imposed by the government now includes charges in USD made to credit cards (things like Netflix and other subscription services) and charges made abroad on argentinean issued credit cards. This basically means Argentines won’t be able to travel anywhere because I...

As this is an ex pat forum, and just being as candid as I can, aside from the frustrations of getting dollars, not being able to obtain certain imported items (which now albeit being able to get are still way too expensive so I don’t even bother), and of course, just feeling a sense of disorder...

Hello! If you are looking for something of a higher calibre, more personalized and tailored to your specific English learning and development needs, and that is perhaps focused on specifics to your field of work: Business English, Legal English, Financial English, etc, etc....I am now offering...

A realtor friend of mine from the States dealing solely in luxury properties and with an international clientele (she speaks 7 languages) is very familiar with how to deal with people of different business cultures including Argentina, is in looooove, and wanting to see what the chances would...

Has anyone read that this Saturday the Buenos Aires Design shopping mall including its restaurants (and yes, according to La Nación and the HRC’s Facebook page that does include Hard Rock) is closing for good? I remember a few months ago a petition on change.org which I signed in hopes of...

So it appears that my dry cleaner has been conveniently ‘losing’ some of the clothing (none of the cheaper, more generic stuff, go figure!) I have hurriedly been dropping off and picking up without bothering to check the ticket. It’s not that I have a massive amount of clothes and didn’t...

Hello! After a few months of living alone in an Air BNB apartment, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s starting to get expensive, and my lifestyle is not conducive at the moment to really need my own place (I am never home, never cook, and use my apartment for the bare basics) so I am seeking...

Hello! I am selling my 10.5 inch IPad Pro in space gray, 64gb, with data and WiFi capabilities. It was purchased in the US in September at Verizon and is in used but exceptional condition with no scratches, flaws, etc. It has been used very lightly mostly for making presentations, etc. I am...

Hello everyone, I’ve recently been offered a pretty good deal (even at today’s prices) for the lease of an apartment I really like. The lady who is leasing it is asking for two month’s deposit and the typical garantía of another property, however she mentioned that I could alternatively take...

What’s the secret to staying fit/trim and relatively thin in BA? I find that Porteños eat and eat well, and, unless whatever meal I am observing them have that day at whatever restraurant/café is the only thing they will eat that day, I would say they eat quite robustly as well. It’s also...

Hello Everyone, Is there a certain criteria for what can/cannot be charged in USD? I do consulting geared at an international affluent professional clientele, and (naturally) I would much rather charge in USD, apart from the fact that it would probably be easier for the type of clientele (not...

Once again (surprise surprise) another political figure inspiring total admiration if not love by some (mostly upper class/professionals?) and total loathing (IE: bombarding Facebook with memes every 2 minutes type of thing)... what is the deal? What I mean is that (at least in my circle of...

Hello Everyone, I am searching for a nicer than average 1 bedroom (no studio/monoambiente) that is furnished and equipped with the basic amenities. I am totally flexible with regards to both the price (within reason) and the terms of the ‘lease’ if it’s something that I really like, but am...

Greetings All- I saw that there was another post awhile back ago about teaching English in BA but this was the typical ‘mochilero profe’ scenario of more along the lines of a native English speaker who wanted to spend some time living in Argentina and thought they could pick up a few bucks...

Greetings And Happy New Year, I have a question about financing a property in Buenos Aires, as I’ve gotten mixed information from various sources. I am looking to invest in a place (half year for my personal use, the other half AirBNB or use of other family members), and while I could buy a...

Hello! I've been reading this forum for awhile now and this is my first posting- I'm sure I'll get an array of different answers and opinions, which is exactly what I want. Here's the story- I lived in BA 8 years ago (i know it's not that long, but the way Argentina functions these are like...
