I keep hearing mixed messages about Argentina’s economy, some say things are stabilizing, that we're on the road to recovery, etc. But then you look around Buenos Aires and see a ton of empty shops. And now there’s actual data backing it up: According to the Buenos Aires Chamber of Commerce...

I’ve ordered from Shein twice, mostly clothes and accessories. The prices were amazing, and the quality is decent if you read the reviews carefully. BUT: I had to pay customs both times. Not crazy expensive, but it added like 50% to my total 😩. Make sure to check how much you’re allowed to...

It’s available on Amazon Prime, I’m watching it now! I actually enjoy these kinds of series because they help me understand Argentine history a bit more, even if they’re dramatized.

Hey everyone… here’s a topic I haven’t seen much of, but I know we’ve all dealt with it at some point. Dog barks! I live in a building that used to be super quiet, but now it’s non-stop barking all day and night. I’ve talked to the dog owners, but it seems like I’m the problem when I bring it...

I highly recommend Dr. Gabriela! She was my dentist and she's really good. You can reach her at +54 9 11 2374-5336. Super professional and friendly, definitely worth a try!

Hi @GlasgowJohn , I live in London :)

Hey B.A. expats, If you're coming from the British curriculum and your son is in Year 7, how does it work when transitioning into the British system here in Argentina? Does he need to repeat 6 months of the school year, or would he skip them? We're planning to move around Dec/Jan 2025/26, and by...

Of course, I won't miss it! I love ice cream, and I've read that some ice cream shops will offer a 2-for-1 deal on a 1/4 KG of ice cream, Cadore is my favorite ice cream shop.😋

I think our standards are different, and it also has to do with what each country is accustomed to. In Argentina, the coffee is usually milder and less concentrated compared to countries like Italy or Spain, where people prefer stronger coffees. This might make us, foreigners used to stronger...

It's great to see that the most important personalities and companies recognize Milei's good management and also support him! Milei's joy when receiving the little toy cars was priceless, like a child!:D

Hospital Italiano can feel a bit overwhelming at first, but once you’re inside, the level of care and the facilities are excellent. I spent several days there last summer, and the staff and treatment were top-notch. The rooms are comfortable and well-equipped, and you’ll be in very good hands.

Just to keep you informed, due to the transportation strike, there will be no garbage collection in Buenos Aires tonight. https://www.infobae.com/sociedad/2024/10/29/por-el-paro-de-transporte-esta-noche-no-habra-recoleccion-de-residuos-en-la-ciudad-de-buenos-aires/

Finally, the audits are starting, and all the shady dealings will come to light. I hope the students realize that they’re just being used politically.

I definitely recommend Isdin Fusion Water without hesitation; they even have a tinted version. I've personally bought it at a Farmacity branch, but you can also find it on Mercado Libre, often with a nice discount. It’s light, smooth, and doesn’t leave your skin feeling heavy. I've been using it...

Gracias @Lucia! I’ll try sending an email, hopefully, I’ll have some luck!
