Can we expect these pesky mosquitos to die off in the next month or so or not?

If you're just looking at a one-way flight then there's ways to look at it out of the box. So something like EZE to Bogota and on from there, or EZE to Mexico City and on from there can work ok. Or budget flights into and up from Brazil and on from there are also worth looking at. I accept that...

I think there are people whose initial interest in Argentina is stimulated because it's cheap. But you have to love the country first and foremost and have other reasons to live there beyond cost. The country throws up its own unique challenges that I suspect some people aren't really ready for...

I watched a youtube video just a few days ago of a guy doing it the official way at the office down near the Buquebus terminal. It's a really helpful video and worth looking up.

I've eaten llama in Salta but never dogs. Do you have a particular recommendation for a restaurant to try it?

I think there's some good observations and advice there from el_expatriado. For pretty much any expat, probably literally all, a state school is out of the question right out of the gate, And the range of feedback I get about the bilingual schools, of which there are a great many, backs up...

@Carribbean Cool. I don't think you should call them useless because of the lack of detail. Hopefully they will update accordingly. Let's see I guess.

I don't see your offer of compensation? You're a professional writer, correct?

I've used Airalo in Argentina over 2 trips. First trip was a month, second trip was 3months. It works fine but you are limited on data a bit too much for the price. If you are visiting as a tourist temporarily, then go for it but any visit longer than a month or so is worth the persarverance of...

@anyoneelse I can only answer within the frame of reference of a Youtube video I watched recently of a girl who filmed her experience of of paying her overstay fine. In summary, after she got her brief ticking-off and advice to obey the rules, she was given a bill to take to a bank which she had...

I must admit I didn’t know money counting machines detect fakes too but given that they do then presumably all property lawyer offices have them too?

A very good article. “There’s a saying in Argentina that if you leave for 20 days and come back, everything’s different, and when you leave for 20 years and come back, everything’s the same.” I like that

You can do it if you possess a bit of gumption and overlook a bit of moral fortitude! Go the front desk in your hotel of choice before check-in time opens and ask to leave your luggage whilst you head out to change some dollars before checking in. They will give you a ticket for your luggage...

I used an Airalo eSIM for Argentina for the month of November. It worked perfectly well.

^^ The point made above about higher denomination notes is all that should be under consideration presently. I guess I need to dig in and research the resistance to doing it. Whatever the reasons, surely they are absurd. At least when it was 17,000 Australes to the GBP on my first visit in 1991...

I'm going off tangent a touch but I checked in to the Ibis Obelisko a few weeks ago. I paid part cash and part points on my Ibis account. Boy did that bend their minds. Obviously I forewent the "benefit" of a 21% IVA discount of a foreign card payment by paying cash but then how to treat the...

Thanks to Neil’s post above, I picked up a sube card today at the same 25 hours place, 250 pesos.

I'm not sure what significance you attach to this being the 21st century but all else is noted and appreciated. Even when I go to, let's say, a restaurant's Instagram page, I'm still surprised how many don't have recent pictures of the menu. If they haven't got a website or other online...

I'm not replying with help, but a connected comment... I'm shocked how few businesses have live websites. I'm talking in particular about restaurants and tourists spots generally. Go to Tripadvisor to look such businesses up and there's often a link out to a facebook page or website that are...

I find this interesting looking in from the outside. I commented on a Youtube video recently how interesting it was to me to note there’s still so many bookshops remaining in Buenos Aires. The video is on a channel of walking videos around the city. I suppose this is a major reason why. Here in...
