I know there’s a fine for overstaying, but does anyone know if I should pay it at the local...

Argentine bonds are rising, and the country risk is decreasing. Definitely, Trump's victory was something very positive for the country...

Even the Amish, who generally stay out of politics, decided to vote, and the fact that they chose a candidate like Trump, who doesn't necessarily align with their way of life but shares some of their conservative values, was a big surprise.

The chaos continued today, and with passengers held hostage by the situation, there were passengers trapped on a plane unable to take off or disembark. I think legal action could be taken against these workers, and this could even be classified as kidnapping...

If currency controls are lifted, the peso is likely to weaken at first. Without restrictions, people would seek more dollars, causing the peso to lose value. However, it doesn't necessarily mean it will collapse. It depends on several factors. For example, if the government implements good...

Welcome! Note that I'm not a regular alcohol consumer. However, many of my friends enjoy it, and on occasion, I purchase drinks for them during my travels. You might want to consult them for recommendations and be open to exploring other varieties that aren't readily available back home...

During my stay in Buenos Aires, I was fortunate enough to visit Rawa, and it is indeed as you describe. While the infrastructure is simple, the food there is incredible. Before leaving this beautiful city, I returned for another lunch there, and everything was fantastic. I would rate it a...

I had no problem walking around with my camera on my shoulder, and the phone was also useful for consulting maps. I think it's 90% common sense and 10% luck. I felt safe in most of BA. La Boca clearly has a bit of an advantage, and I think Recoleta is a bit safer than other neighborhoods, but...
