I was just looking at one of that guy's on X.

Those that want to work are working. Fortunately it seems like most people in Argentina want to get on with life and move on.

Lurker since October but signed up just recently. I did the sharing of info by locals as well as expats. I stop by to gauge the temperature on some things. Everyone mostly seems nice to one another and civil. The occasional talk about communists, etc. but not too bad.

Conan is a has been. I thought he died. Before you mentioned this I thought he died in a drug overdose.

It seems incredible to me people talk so opening about having anchor babies here. But I guess Argentina truly doesn't care.

Even with this I tried to buy a new property last week and the owner only wanted to declare 50% of the real price. I said there was no way I could do this but how would he even be able to get away with this with something like this in place???

Thew new construction doesn't seem as well built as the older buildings but all the bathrooms and kitchens are horrible. I would hate to do that work.

Has anyone ever picked up a cheap property via auction??

I am trying to practice my Spanish and also do good at the same time. I heard they could use help with some soup kitchens. These days I probably could donate a little bit of money but more so my time. I thought I could kill two birds with one stone and volunteer and also practice my Spanish...

I tried this brand as I read on here but I don't like the taste of it. Coffee prices here are so crazy expensive for really bitter and bad tasting coffee. Hard to believe the locals like this stuff. I always say Starbucks in the USA is crap but ironically here I actually think it is not bad...

Agreed. I could never just move to somewhere that is only cheap but I didn't like the people or city. Some people are always chasing the cheapest place. BA is still affordable compared to comparable nice major cities. At least to me anyway. Not the bargain it was before. Far from it but I...

Same. I was laughing the other day as I loaded up at pesos at 1,200 pesos a few months ago. That stash just ran out but had I known, I would have purchased several more thousands of dollars in pesos. I wish I knew which way it would go.

@Oatmeal it looks like the guy that created Nordelta is creating many gated communities all over Argentina. It sounds like everyone was waiting for someone like President Milei to starting investing in Argentina...

The passport bros only have themselves to blame for this. I have been going to Colombia for many years and the scene has changed there over the past few years. Loud, obnoxious Americans were going down and also filming and posting streams online. Something had to change there. Hopefully these...

This would be so nice. What I don't like is the government's need for me to register with my personal information. This feels like an invasion of privacy to me.
