    Did many expats move out of Buenos Aires due to the higher cost of living?

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

    My sister sent me a picture of this burger street vendor and look at the prices. The most expensive one is beef burger at 40 Baht which is roughly USD1.3 or 1800 pesos. Sometimes I'm tired of how things are so expensive here. If only the wage would catch up. 😞

    Is rice better in Brazil ?

    We don't mix anything with our rice. We like it plain so you can have it with dishes like stir fries, curry etc. I have a rice cooker so I don't have to do much. But if you don't have it and want to cook plain rice. Maybe try the method in this video

    You see how barrio chino gives you a kind of vibe like you're in Disneyland. I mean it feels like that for Argentinians to me. All things exotic for them especially on the weekend. The place is packed. And all those new and big Chinese bazaars selling knickknacks and household stuff (with human...

    How can I make something spicey

    I always go to these 3 places namely Casa China, Ichiban and Asia Oriental. Casa China and Ichiban have more selections of fresh vegetables than Asia Oriental but if you want all the Asian sauces, Asia Oriental has a lot more than the other two.
