    Official Thread on Corruption in Argentina - Milei Administration Cleaning up house

    Can you believe these are the salaries of the ambassadors? It’s crazy. Yesterday, I heard one of Milei’s advisors say they’re going to evaluate them because they don’t make sense. I hope that’s true.

    I 100% agree with this expat, except for the last part about the men, haha, But I can definitely say that Argentina has the most beautiful women!

    Newcomer After Milei's Veto—Hatred appears

    Oh yes! They’ll finally be audited. I read that news today, but the hatred between the students keeps growing, along with the violence. Look at how a Kirchnerist hit a libertarian student just for speaking out against the university takeovers and not having classes...

    Newcomer What are the most interesting aspects of Argentine culture for you?

    I get the concerns, but I think a lot of us really value Argentine culture and try to bring something good to the table. We come here looking to connect with people and enjoy what the country has to offer, not just to take advantage. Of course, it’s important to keep an eye on prices, but we can...

    Official Thread on Corruption in Argentina - Milei Administration Cleaning up house

    Here’s an audio that shows the violence Alberto inflicted on his wife. The abuse, vulgarity, and violence are terrible. It’s unbelievable that this person claimed to be a leading defender of women and their rights.

    Food & Drink Gōkana Restaurant

    I know people on this forum love gourmet food, so I have to say the place isn’t cheap, but I can assure you it’s worth every penny. My wife and I went to Gōkana Restaurant, and we tried a bit of everything, but the ceviche was by far the best. We spent $135 usd for the two of us, with a bottle...

    The latest poll for President Javier Milei showed that his personal approval and the approval of his government stayed high in July, above 50%, and remained steady. This is despite the widening gap between the official and free market dollar rates and a jump in country risk. People are still...

    Venezuela Election - Will Maduro finally be pushed out of power in Venezuela?

    Maduro shutting down Twitter in Venezuela for 10 days is a severe attack on freedom of expression. It's clear that he's doing this to prevent people from speaking out and showing what’s really happening in the country. By cutting off such a crucial platform, he’s trying to control the narrative...

    Alberto Fernández a wife beater?

    The chats between Fabiola and the president have also come to light, with her questioning him about why he hits her, mentioning three consecutive days of abuse! That guy is a crazy psychopath who is now threatening to commit suicide.

    Newcomer What are the most interesting aspects of Argentine culture for you?

    I love the positive spirit of celebration and open-mindedness that Argentinians generally have. It's a country where anyone can easily adapt because the locals are very hospitable and supportive, always willing to help. That's not something you find in many countries. Despite the current...

    What place has the best medialunas in Buenos Aires?

    I want to share my experience with you because I tried the best "medialunas" in Buenos Aires so far. They were delicious, fluffy, sweet, and large. I had the butter ones, but they also offer "medialunas de grasa" and a variety of pastries that looked equally delicious. The place is called...

    Tips for my 2 weeks trip to BA - Apartment recommendations

    Well, they always broadcast the most popular games, I guess if no one was watching they should have let you watch Messi's game without problems but you know there is a certain rivalry between Argentina and Uruguay...they still think they are superior, so I guess they must not love Messi haha.
