Highly recommend @theteatimebox , I had a great experience, I ordered a package that included a dessert table and a cake that was not only super original but also delicious. They’re based in Martínez but they do deliveries. Oh, and bonus: they speak fluent English! Here’s their Instagram...

I read that Milei is planning to cut electricity and gas subsidies for people living in gated communities, private neighborhoods, and high-end areas across the country. Just to name a few, Puerto Madero, Recoleta, Palermo, Belgrano, and all the fancy areas in Buenos Aires are under the...

Here are some threads that talk about this: https://www.expatsba.com/threads/buying-a-property-in-argentina.4763/ https://www.expatsba.com/threads/my-first-real-estate-purchase-in-buenos-aires-in-2002-after-the-corralito.5378/...

Noname is right, according to Argentina’s Ministry of Education, over 85% of primary schools in the country offer some level of foreign language education, and English is by far the most common. I have a niece who goes to a public school in Buenos Aires, and she's been learning English as one of...

I have a friend here in Buenos Aires, and back around 2012, I think it was during Macri’s time as mayor, she signed up for a government program called Primera Casa BA. She actually got selected in the lottery and was approved for a mortgage through Banco Ciudad. She always says she’s super...

I’ve been there, and it’s super draining when no one takes it seriously. Have you checked the building’s bylaws or co-ownership rules? Most of them have specific clauses about noise and disturbances, especially during certain hours. If talking to the owners and building management doesn’t help...

As an Argentine, I’d say that the issue of the Malvinas is much more than just what the islanders think or want. The conflict isn't based solely on the opinions of the people living there; it's about a historical, legitimate claim to sovereignty that Argentina has had for over 180 years. The...

I totally get where you're coming from, but I believe happiness isn’t just about financial stability. Sure, it’s easier when you have a steady income in dollars, but the sense of community, culture, and connection that you find here is truly something special. I’ve met so many people who are...

Oh no, I’m so sorry to hear what happened! That sounds incredibly painful. I hope you're managing okay despite the fracture. As for an orthopedic doctor, I highly recommend Clínica San Camilo. They specialize exclusively in traumatology and have some of the best specialists around. I'm sure...

I get your point, but the Falklands (Malvinas) are considered Argentine territory by most of us here. The claim dates back to 1820, when Argentina first established sovereignty over the islands. Although the British took control in 1833, the islands have been a source of tension ever since. Many...

I think locals do buy these things, but often on installments with credit cards, which is very common due to inflation. Many people also wait for discounts or travel abroad to shop for clothes. As for food, it’s the same story. A basic chocolate bar that costs $2 in the U.S. or Europe might be...

Even artists choose the Argentine audience time and time again… It’s going to be an amazing experience, especially considering that the Gallagher brothers are reuniting after so many years apart!

Here's a thread where this topic is being discussed. Telegram could work for calls, but it’s not exactly the same. https://www.expatsba.com/threads/is-skype-closing-down-i-heard-they-are-closing.5157/

It seems like your friend might need to see a doctor instead of a massage therapist. I know that’s not what you’re asking for, but it could be the best option. I’m all for massage therapy, but before getting one, I’d make sure there’s nothing broken, cracked, or torn. Seeing a traumatologist...

Hi! Here’s a thread where that talks about it. Personally, I recommend Jesiccaleo Peluqueria I’ve been going there for years, and the colorists are very professional. I highly recommend it! https://www.expatsba.com/threads/trustworthy-hair-salon-and-colorist.5070/...
