Back on topic... @Redpossum the initial plan was for it to be 38 F-16s from Denmark and 4 P-3 Orions from Norway Link 1. So there is maritime patrol included in this purchase. It appears though that the P-3s had already been "purchased" in October 2023 Link 2 but have not been delivered as the...

Yeah its been a while coming. This has not been a Milei thing I dont think as this descion would have had to have happened in Aug-23/Sep-23 if Congress authorised it in Oct-23 (Link). It did seem like a longer term plan for once that Milei and his team ran with. I also think this brings the...

Zimbabwe has dollarised in everything but name to be honest. Some shops accept ZAR, Bond Notes or whatever other currency but in reality everything has a USD price from beer and bread to bedding and burials. If you get paid in another currency then citizens normally run and exchange them to USD...

My wife and I bounce between Argentina and South Africa but things are becoming more and more difficult and we want to settle down somewhere. What about Argentina's neighbours? Never got the chance to go to Chile so what is life like there? We always hear about Uruguay being boring and...

Hi there, Welcome to the forum. Are you in Argentina at the moment? If not then it would be best to get an AirBnb for a short while so you can sort yourself out. It will make this whole process a lot easier. This way you can take your time in looking for a place and not get fleeced. If you...

All of these things you mention here that are illegal are things we expats are literally doing. How much tax do you or any of us avoid? How many of us are "irregular" who bounce around borders to make sure we can stay here? "Just overstay your visa" is a common phrase on this forum. How are we...

These kinds of responses are what drives "othering" and xenophobia and pushes unhelpful narratives about those trying to make a living in the world. If you took the time to read up or even speak with those who share spaces with you then you would find the reasons these Senegalese migrants do...

Which town did you go to?

+1 for Mendoza. If you stay in or around centro you are pretty close to all the activity and are near Parque San Martin. Alternatively, Chacras in Lujan might be more her speed. Safe, clean, more space, just a nice vibe and close to some nice bodegas. Although in Mendoza you are never far away...

Thank works too :)

WooHoo! Improved coverage and hopefully less dropped calls. Good to see.

Well... I mean you can look at this from two sides. One is that the talent is being picked clean from the local leagues and its harming the quality of the league or that foreign rich leagues are picking up young talented youngsters and training them (making them better for the national team)...

Yeah everyone here is saying "never"or "dumb reporter". Perhaps not so dumb when you look at the opinion polls. Looks like it goes to a runoff and then its anyone's game...

i suppose it is hard to believe bit lets not forget its increasing off a very small base and 60k-70k more people in an area that is actually encouraging manufacturing in Rio Grande could well move the needle in terms of population. Ushuaia also has natural resources for exploitation and is the...

As most have said here, you can't force yourself to like something. It honestly sounds like you need a change of scenery. I also got that feeling of grubbiness and generally run down feeling in BA and surrounds. You can see the place is going through hard times but its not terrible. There is...

Blaming the victim is easier than actually solving the problem. A+ comment here.

Truly a "let them eat cake" forum moment here... Some people are so detached from reality that they think people should just eat fruits, nuts and veg to replace their medicine... wtf

Thanks! I think I might just do that. Last time we just brought in bags with clothes and keepsakes so no electronics.

Wait so let me get this straight. According to WU essentially: It is seen as more "legitimate" to send money to yourself (while living in Argentina) from a foreign bank account to an Argentinian bank account or WU agent location VS sending money to a spouse or family member (who you live with)...

What if its two older desktops? Don't have the ganas to sell then rebuy. Rather just bring it through with me when I come back again.
