    Are salaries this low for expats or locals???

    I wouldn't go by anything official good or bad. Too much of the economy is underground.

    If the Argentina peso is truly overvalued

    The Argentine peso reminds me of Bitcoin. Each side arguing their point but the damn thing the same every time I look at it even though it has wild swings depending on what week you bought it.

    trump vs venezuela

    This is why Trump probably said that they will be involved in running things for a while but in a country like Venezuela it probably will take time to get sorted out. Step #1 was taking out Maduro. The country is full of nasty people in the government and Maduro getting pulled out probably...

    Be careful speeding in Uruguay! Big fines with cameras

    Oh that would be a serious bummer to start out a vacation having to pay thousands in fines that you didn't know about!

    trump vs venezuela

    I wonder how many Venezuelans are against what Trump did. I am seeing videos on Tik Tok of people that Trump deported even admitting and applauding and thanking Trump for doing this. Makes me laugh a little there are so many people that are against liberating these people. Most of them...

    ‘Strap in’: Imports surge and markets fear return of ‘libertarian Milei’

    Being Black in Argentina: Experiences and Acceptance

    What I have found is that they are more open here vs other countries. It is not a matter of just being politically correct either. I have friends that openly speak like that and although I like them as friends I am embarrassed for their behavior. I saw this on another X post today. And was...

    Argentina Immigration Changes Coming Affecting Healthcare insurance requirement, Education and Deportation

    It's getting difficult. I don't care if you're living here as expat, immigrant or local. Probably why Avocado finally took enough is they are frustrated. Some of my friends are thinking about having to leave a country they love and where all their family is from to move. That causes stress and...
