Hi everyone! My dentist just told me I really need orthodontic treatment and recommended a colleague of hers, but I’d like to check out a few other options and get some quotes first. I know it’s not cheap (though still way less than in the US!), so I want to make sure I choose the right place...

Honestly, I wonder if things would be better now. Technology and awareness have improved a lot, but the politics? Not so much. The system still feels broken in many ways. Favaloro was ahead of his time, and it’s a shame the country couldn’t keep up.

There are several apps you can use to practice, but you’ll need an Argentine phone number to download them. If you don’t have one, you can head over to ACA and pick up a study book. It’s pretty straightforward, with lots of pictures and matching exercises to help you learn the rules. Also, you...

Peruvians, Senegalese, and Bolivians are calling to return to the streets... I think they don’t understand the concept of mafia and illegality.

Like many, I don’t understand how a yerba made by an American can be so successful. In this case, the phrase many Argentinians use applies: “Argentina... you wouldn’t understand.” Haha!...Maybe I'm missing out on a premium product; I haven't tried it yet, but I should give it a shot.

Go into any Catholic church. No one will bother you, I usually go sometimes in Palermo and Recoleta there are several.

Yes, you're right! I'm not defending the previous administration, but everything needs to have a balance. The average person doesn’t understand macroeconomics, and they shouldn’t have to. With Milei's measures, he hasn’t taken care of the most vulnerable, which shows a lack of empathy on his...

Younger people should see these numbers: more than half of the population is living in poverty: https://www.infobae.com/economia/2024/09/26/la-pobreza-subio-al-529-en-el-primer-semestre-del-ano-y-alcanzo-a-249-millones-de-personas-en-todo-el-pais/

What's the reality? This article from Infobae mentions that Buenos Aires welcomed over one and a half million international tourists in the first seven months of the year, showing even better numbers compared to the same period in 2023...

For a while, Argentina became an attractive place for tourists looking to settle down, thanks to the good exchange rate and high quality of life. But a lot of these newcomers seem to focus only on complaining about the economic crisis. While it’s understandable to feel frustrated, it’s also...

More irregularities in disability pensions keep coming to light. It's incredible how little oversight there was in previous administrations.

It all comes down to politics, doesn’t it? Now they want to turn them into union members with CTEP, which is a union organization after all. It’s crazy how they always focus on organizing people instead of addressing the real issues.

It’s no surprise people have lost faith in him, his support is shrinking fast. "Less than 30% of Argentinians have hope in Milei’s government." The country is in ruins, and meanwhile, he’s off chasing investments. It's hard to see how he plans to turn things around when everything’s falling...

Who can live on just 224 USD a month? Most of these retirees worked and contributed their whole lives for a decent pension. No one will convince me that this is acceptable. It doesn’t matter if it was the Kirchnerists or Milei; they continue to cut back on the most vulnerable sector.

The numbers speak for themselves: poverty reached 52% of the population in the first semester, more than half, and nearly 18% of the population is indigent. It's a sad situation...
