    Newcomer This hate crime in 2024 has left me in shock

    I heard that a lot of government workers were getting fired. Is the person in the article really saying that her only other job she can get is being a prostitute??? Am I reading that right??

    Saw this and laughed.

    Black people in Argentina

    What is she referring to the Vatican? Have they spoken on this matter? And is she angry that Argentina didn't have more of a slavery problem? I thought I read Argentina was one of the first countries to abolish slavery.

    Thoughts on last night's situation in the Middle East?

    I am looking at comparable properties only on Airbnb in Mexico City and Buenos Aires and they look fairly comparable. I am only looking at the nicest areas. i.e. Comparing top rentals on Airbnb in Polanco or Condessa and Recolta and Palermo. Just to get a fair comparison. All my friends...

    Thoughts on last night's situation in the Middle East?

    Correct. When we moved to Mexico City a few years ago it was very reasonable but now with the exchange rate and inflation it is quite pricey. We are looking forward to moving to a more reasonable cost of living but at this rate maybe Buenos Aires won't be too cheap either!

    Real Estate Sales It is in full development and has more than 50 real estate projects in progress: What is the charm of Villa del Parque? - Infobae

    Sounds like a nice area. Would this be too far outside of Palermo area with traffic? I'm not sure how traffic is like there in CABA.

    Desperation situation - I caught my maid of 12 years stealing from me toilet paper and food

    Thank you for that frame of reference. Here is Mexico City it seems like people that work in the city make more than further out. It seems there too. Wow I didn't realize so many people live outside of the City. Is that common there? I would guess cost of living will be lower. I am told...

    Economy Argentinians are increasingly seeking options to protect their limited savings

    No matter which country we move to, we always save our savings in dollars.

    Desperation situation - I caught my maid of 12 years stealing from me toilet paper and food

    Is it cheaper there vs. Buenos Aires? I'm not sure where you live or how far outside of CABA it is? It is difficult to get a sense how much things are as I read things online and some things not too long ago say they are cheap and now a few short months later it says very expensive. I guess...

    Desperation situation - I caught my maid of 12 years stealing from me toilet paper and food

    This seems to be an issue everywhere. Here in Mexico City you would think with so many millions of people it would be easy to find a dependable,honest and most importantly hardworking maid but we have gone through many. We only hire now based on referral from someone we know. We don't like...

    Now Argentina want to join NATO as a Global Partner!

    Interesting. I don't typically think of Argentina when you talk about narco-terrorists. It's a big problem in Mexico where we live but did not hear Argentina had those issues. Interesting. Are narcotics being produced in Argentina?

    Be careful with taxi cabs with a rigged meter that runs quicker than usual

    I have lived in a few countries in Latin America and I have always gotten a few at one point or another. Try to take Uber as much as I can and from what I have read uber works great in BA. I usually try to make it a point to say something. But don't argue with them about it. My husband...

    Now Argentina want to join NATO as a Global Partner!

    I was wondering if Argentina had any supersonic ability and this answers that. Do you all foresee countries wanting to attack Argentina's airspace after not for decades? In situations like this who trains when they don't have those? Danish responsible for training? Americans?
