    Black people in Argentina

    I have an American friend living in Chicago, and we always talk about this, the pressure of society, the mindset of just working and working, paying off student loans, even the pressure of reaching a certain age and having already formed a family. He's experiencing this at just 27 years old...

    Does Buenos Aires have homeless shelters?

    Yes! Homeless shelters have always existed, and I've read that a new outreach program has been launched that will not only assist them during the winter but throughout the whole year...

    Black people in Argentina

    Argentina is a beautiful country and currently trending, so they just want to sabotage us as a nation... I've never been in such an inclusive country like this one.

    Transport Strike to paralyze Argentina in repudiation of taxation reforms - May 6, 2024

    This is pretty frustrating for people who have to go out to work every day, take public transportation, etc. It's causing a general sense of unease. Hopefully, things calm down because at this rate, we're going to end up in a bad place.

    Does anyone else find it strange Argentina still thinks they won the Falklands War?

    For Argentinians, it's a matter of pride. They argue that it was an unjust war. Argentinians were willing to send their sons to die for their country; society mobilized to bid farewell to the hero-men marching to the front. The media fueled optimism and triumphalist hopes among the population...

    Water bill (Aysa) skyrocketed up 400% from normal bill. Any others?

    I was also horrified when I saw my Aysa and electricity bill, 500% is a lot!...this habit of leaving everything on is not typical of Argentines, I think we are very careful in this sense.

    Education A sensitive issue in Argentine society that could tarnish Milei's image: Cutbacks in public education

    Many of us who support Milei in his entire management don't agree with this crazy idea of cutting back on public education, as surveys demonstrate. Although we continue to make sacrifices and endure all the increases because we understand the reasoning, we will not accept that public education...

    Food & Drink Where to try delicius Milanesas?

    To taste the real milanesa you must go to a "bodegón", there they have the best ones, a good place is "Parrilla lo del Ruso" in Villa Crespo, there you can also taste the best "asado" and "emapanadas". https://www.instagram.com/parrillalodelrusso_ok/ https://maps.app.goo.gl/W5smt4WrTVUCnSfGA

    Tips for my 2 weeks trip to BA - Apartment recommendations

    In general Palermo is one of the nicest neighborhoods in BA, whether it is Soho, Chico or Hollywood. I think I would choose Palermo Hollywood as it is one of the city's favorite places to dine, as it has a variety of restaurants ranging from elegant sushi bars to sophisticated steakhouses. If...

    Newcomer My visa is about to expire

    Hey. If you're in the country when your residency expires, you have an extra 30 days to renew it, as long as you don't leave. To extend your residency, you must have been in the country for at least 50% of the time originally granted (for instance, if your original residency was for twelve...
