    Have you had any experience with the public health system?

    I signed up in 2015 for Cobertura Porteña de Salud, a free public health plan in the city. My primary doctor has an office in the neighborhood, so I make appointments by calling 147.

    How’s flying with Flybondi? Anyone had good or bad experiences?

    What was your most unexpected culture shock in Argentina?

    If there’s one thing I got used to quickly, it’s breakfast, mate with medialunas or pastries, and I’m not the only one lol. A lot of people talk about how delicious medialunas are! But what I still can’t get used to is having dinner so late.
