    What happens if Argentina gets too expensive? What are alternative cities/countries to move to when it's overpriced in Argentina?

    Totally correct - there are good parrillas where steaks are between 20 and 25USD / the quality is as good as Don Julio

    Homicide, robbery and petty theft on the rise in Greater Buenos Aires

    But if you quote figures , you have to give exact figures and quote your source, Not give approximate figures like BA Times often does and has done in this case

    Homicide, robbery and petty theft on the rise in Greater Buenos Aires

    Read the article carefully. He reports estimated figures / there can be as many as 10,000 can be anything really - 9999? or 9000_ or 10001? And how many days in the quarter did it reach this figure? I suspect fluff and very inaccurate reporting. Par for the course from this publication

    Homicide, robbery and petty theft on the rise in Greater Buenos Aires

    As for the second, the theft of mobile phones, Miglino stressed that it is one of the most common crimes. There can be as many as 10,000 snatched a day in the City, with 5,000 in Greater Buenos Aires. says the guy from the NGO WHAT EXACTLY ARE THE FIGURES? I never totally believe the scare...

    Banking What is going on with the Blue dollar? Why is it going down?

    The movement in the past two days is a clear reaction to the fall in interest rates. Should be interesting to see what happens the rest of the week

    Newcomer How can this keep happening? Train collision in Palermo

    Privatisation , not the solution? So we stay with the current model of public ownership Years of under investment . ancient rolling stock, customer satisfaction at record.... lows. That doesn't make a lot of sense. What is your solution?

    Politics Alberto Fernandez has no shame!

    I think the sentence was only for three years and not five. It is suspended I think pending appeal. She also has at least one more trial coming a little later this year.

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

    Illegal border crossing is a crime. These guys from Morocco could have been terrorists or people coming to train people here to be terrorists. It's not a question of the color of their skin.... Were they bonafide tourists or up to no good? They were unable to explain what they were up to.

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

    These guys crossed the border illegally / A friend in Misiones tells me they probably crossed the river at Puerto Iguazu. There is a little barge that takes you back and forward between Paraguay and Argentina for one dollar Illegal border crossing is a crime
