    Newcomer What are some good movies to watch on Netflix to learn Spanish and watch some of the local culture that feature Buenos Aires?

    Top 50 Countries with the Most Beautiful Women (Argentina #8)

    Agree the females here are more open minded. Not as jealous as traditional Latinas.

    Catholic Church rejects Milei bill to lower age of criminal responsibility

    If you can't do the time don't do the crime. Too much crime by minors that have no consequences. I don't think under the law minors under 16 can be criminally prosecuted. Here gangs exploit the young because they know they can't be prosecuted so lowering the age will remove that shield. My...

    Argentina President Javier Milei just sat with President Trump to sign the Board of Peace Accord

    I thought Trump was going to charge $1 billion dollars to join?

    Apartment Rental Prices, the economy and some cultural changes have made studio apartments the most coveted for rent - Infobae

    Studios are probably the most popular because they are the cheapest to rent.

    The Best & Worst Countries for Living Abroad (Expat survey)

    Surprised to see Panama so high at the top of the list. I like Argentina but if my spouse wasn't from here I probably would move considering the limited work opportunities and higher cost of living now. We are planning on leaving to Spain soon. The quality of life here is good if you have lots...

    I saw on the news the police officer was on drugs. He ended up shooting one of the neighbors in the leg. Glad you are ok.

    Black people in Argentina

    A lawyer should know better than to do something like this. Unfortunately many Argentines have this mentality with black people. I have witnessed it many times with the way they act or think. There is a lot of racism in Argentina.

    Newcomer Indian Expats in Argentina

    Who wouldn't want to live in Argentina at 1% of the costs of the United States. :ROFLMAO: I swear all of these immigration consultants are retarded or have absolutely no clue about Argentina.

    Extremely noisy neighbors! Can anything be done about excessive loud music next to my Airbnb?

    Be careful. Things can escalate very quickly. My experience is the locals are hot temperated and stressed with the constant economic mess. We had the same type of issues with noisy neighbors and for a while had to rent 2 apartments at the same time to get away from the noise. It was a mess...

    If the Argentina peso is truly overvalued

    What would happen to the exchange rate if it just floated freely? Like totally with the corporations also being able to do whatever they want. Seems like there are still a lot of clamps. That doesn't sound free to me.

    Best steak sandwich in the world - La Rambla (Recoleta)

    The blue rate today was about 1485 to $1. Looks like this photo was a few weeks ago. The rate has jumped up. Last month it was lower. You can see directly on the receipt Craig the exchange rate. It says at the time $83.18 USD. On the flip side, the prices could have gone up in the past month...

    How can the food here be so bad ?

    I think in the summer with such mass tourism in Italy sometimes restaurants just cut corners now. My Italian friend that owns a restaurant in Positano said that many restaurant owners now use cheaper products to save money. I don't know if this is the case over all in Italy now. I have good...

    ‘Fiscal innocence’: how Milei’s no-questions-asked law encouraging savers to use their stashed dollars works

    Very true. My husband's family is buying another apartment. The yields aren't extremely high but it beats cash which just loses its value. This legislation should help push prices higher.
