Screwed me over trying to buy a fan for the Argentinian summer heat, hope shops open again tomorrow afternoon

I agree though something I think is worth being cognisant of is that prices in the last few months have escalated even beyond “normal” Argentinian inflation. It’s still not expensive for me but I feel for locals in the last couple of months inflation has bit noticeably harder than ever...

Is this not just supply and demand? Somewhere that charges 39000 for a Milanesa with queues of people willing to pay that has few qualms nor worries about continuing to increase the price beyond the rate of inflation. I expect the headline inflation in touristy areas far outpaces less touristy...

One DNI can be registered to many subtes though right?

Infuriating that Cameron is back in the fold. Cant wait for the general election, hopefully it’s sooner rather than later this year

WU showing 1634 for 1 GBP atm, seems to have gone up a lot in the last couple days. I last withdrew 10 days ago and got 1386

That’s almost certainly what it is. I was in a rush and did try to pay with cash but it was certainly not an option. I don’t think even a debit card was allowed - it had to be credit

Oh and they require credit card payment too - I learned that the hard way a couple months back!

There are many countries I’ve been to where Airalo has been miles and above the best option but sadly Argentina isn’t one of them. I echo Lunar’s comment to hit up a major Claro store with your passport. Think that’s the one I went to last week too. Quick, easy and good value

I’ve never seen any AA flight even remotely competitive to alternative operators. I really do wonder how they fill seats/who does fly with them

I did the same at Claro last week and my coverage has been swell. I’m just glad that this time I wasn’t forced into buying an SD card I had no use for to get a tourist sim. Have you tried switching your phone off and on again or mobile data off and on? My coverage has been much better than WiFi...

Second time I’ve lost mine. Where is the most reasonable to get a new pair of AirPods?

Sadly I’ve never been to mainland Italy but the pizza I had on Favignana has never even been close to being matched. NB: I’ve probably ordered 3 pizzas here in BA the last week. They’re good and tastier than I’d get in the UK but they aren’t better than I’ve had in Sicily - particularly Favignana

Only been back in BA a week. Hit up WesternUnion once and they only gave me 1000s so I’m not terribly representative. I just rather keep it as it’s still so novel for me - at least in the last week

I have still just seen one and I keep it as it seems so niche still

This is the strangest take I’ve ever heard with respect to Buenos Aires. There are a few pockets of decent pizza but otherwise I couldn’t disagree more

I’ve been away for 3 weeks. From a quick glance inflation seems to have been bad in December but the WU rate seems the same as it was when I left. Interested to see what’s changed when I return in a few days

Looks amazing, I’m sold on the ceviche alone. I expect it’s on the pricier side?

Does anybody know of any good seafood restaurants in Buenos Aires? Whenever I’m there I struggle to find really good seafood. I’ve only ever really seen langostinos and smoked salmon. I had some fantastic seafood in Bariloche but wonder if there’s anywhere in Buenos Aires to satisfy my cravings

For me it’s gotta be andiamo, fugazzi and piccantino
