    Imported Food Products Are Allowed a Mirage?

    I’m confused here. In the US and Western Europe there are logistics chains where specialists in products, especially commodity products such as supermarket staples, intermediate combining local and imported commodities looking for efficient pricing and storing and distribution. Consumer...

    Cafe waiter interaction: official thread on requesting service or a check

    Thanks for all the tips and the hilarious video (my understanding is that George Bernard Shaw philosophy of pursuit of life for its own sake relates directly as well.) Thanks @nikad for the tl;dr - key for all beginners here. Meanwhile I have sat outside a cafe for twenty minutes struggling to...

    Cafe waiter interaction: official thread on requesting service or a check

    There are experts in this forum with years of experience in Porteno etiquette and understanding the difference between appropriate assertiveness and aggression and rudeness. May I politely ask for guidance so I don’t seem touristy? In return here is a picture of the butterfly that landed on my...

    Obras Sociales when retired with pre-existing medical conditions?

    The MOST important thing to me as a new retiree seems to be community, intellectual stimulation, and harmony. Both Argentina and the US are struggling with inflation and politics that seem stupid/corrupt/dangerous. I’m from a blue (historically purple) state, recently relocated to live in nature...

    Latin America Sees its First Same-Sex Marriage

    I should be against this because I don’t see a point in marriage, but good for them. My wife is pro marriage and I’m sure is even more happy for them. (My guess is that if the Catholic Church allowed gay marriage, including clergy, it would have stopped the horrors that led EVERY SINGLE ONE of...

    Is the Milei "Transformation" Failing Already?

    how would you Make Argentina Great Again? This is a serious question, I suspect it’s at an inflection point where it either has a renaissance or turns into a place out of Gabriel Garcia Marquez of faded glory and corrupt and disconsolate politics.

    Private Spanish Tutor for basic Spanish next week?

    Can anyone comment on the quality and value of this approach? I’m hoping it’s useful but it reads like a parody of an influencer’s attempt to keep her dream alive.

    Dengue vaccination? Should I? Where to get?

    I’m heading to Brazil soon with even more dengue, but even here in BsAs the mosquitos are everywhere. Is the vaccine considered safe? Has anyone had it? Where can I get it (I have no health plan)?

    Can you fly into Buenos Aires from the UK without a return flight?

    In the US airlines are required to give you 24 hours to cancel. This allows one to show a return ticket if needed without using websites that fake tickets.

    Is the Milei "Transformation" Failing Already?

    *paid in pesos* only impacts the 90%, so 36 million suffer and for some reason the other 4 million don’t even seem to be taxed and anyway do fine. The developed world is aging and if Argentina can navigate from a Peronist closed economy to modern supply chains, I can imagine a boom based on a...

    Is the Milei "Transformation" Failing Already?

    I sort of agree but don’t understand how the country won’t simply crash with debt, too much direct and indirect government employment combined with huge poverty rates a transition from a strong middle class to banana republic level gaps between poor and very very rich. My take though is that...
