    Legal Any risk to constantly overstaying on tourist visa? How many times can you do border runs in Argentina?

    They are terrible for the most part. Not even an option these days. Definitely just pay to extend. That is staying legal and it only costs like $25 USD. Easy option to stay legal.

    trump vs venezuela

    The people there probably thought change would happen quicker but change like this usually takes a long time. Let's just say it will take years not weeks or months. The oppression and misery will take a while. Still any future dictator there would have to worry on a similar fate for them...

    What place has the best medialunas in Buenos Aires?

    We tried many places and they were all good. Some were fresher than other places. We liked Dos Escudos a lot in Recoleta on Montevideo street near the Park Hyatt hotel. https://maps.app.goo.gl/ix11ti9V18z1wFAa7

    What is the best Steak to order in Argentine restaurant?

    We went to Don Julio during our vacation and it was excellent but it was also very expensive! We went to a very local place with almost no tourists. It was called La Choza de Gascon near Palermo Soho. Very affordable and it was good. Not as good as Don Julio but was a fraction of the price.

    Am I the asshole? You be the judge please

    My family and I travel around in Latin America quite a bit and it's not uncommon to find beggars. Most places don't let these people come inside the store. It sounds like they were already inside the restaurant? How we handle it is usually giving them a few small coins if we have it. If...

    Banking Credit Card real-world rate "MEP" transaction repo (Dec2023)

    Thank you so much @StatusNomadicus for posting these. It looks like MEP and blue dollar are going up like some on the forum have predicted. I hope it keeps going up by the time we arrive.

    Newcomer Gyms in Recoleta that have Crossfit? Open in January ?

    Thank you so much! That looks a bit further down for me on the outer edge of Recoleta and really Palermo. I'm near the Recoleta Village area so it's a bit far. But thanks for posting it.

    Love Advice - Fell in love with an escort in Buenos Aires - Is it real love?

    This was terrific! I'm also going to sign up on X to read the others. Are you done with the book? Where can I buy it? I just signed up at your website www.3yearstolive.com but is the book almost done? I will pay to buy it now if it's done.

    Love Advice - Fell in love with an escort in Buenos Aires - Is it real love?

    I'm deeply sorry for the loss of your wife @fool in love! I can't even imagine what you are going through. I have to agree with the others that say this won't work out. I am trying to imagine the reverse but I would have so many doubts. It sounds like your new friend hasn't been doing this...

    Food & Drink Does anyone else notice their coffee recently not tasting good?

    I just saw another post about bad coffee. Can this really be true? I'm disappointed as a coffee lover. My hubby as well.

    Food & Drink Is there any fresh food delivery service or personal chef I can hire in Buenos Aires?

    Wow, bad coffee? I also heard many of the locals are descendants from Italy. I would have thought the coffee would be very good there. Strange. PS - I just saw this post about the bad coffee. I'm super surprised about this -...
