A coffee for $3.50: Argentina is the most expensive country in Latin America

I know I will get hazed for eating McDonald's here but once in a while it is good to remind me of home. So consistently good and reminds me of home. But I don't eat them often. I also love a double quarter pounder with cheese but it is hard to justify here because the same price I can get a good lunch.

Any online discussion of McDonalds turns into a contest of who can hate on it the most lol

"Last time I had McDonald's was a year ago, and I still have food poisoning!"

"Oh yeah? Last time I had McDonald's was 5 years ago, and I still have stomach cramps!"

"OH YEAH? Last time I had McDonald's was 10 years ago ..... and my colon fell out!"

Pretty much as expected. Thanks to these forums, I was prepared for the downsides. Even with those, it's still a beautiful city. The parks, the cafes, everyone out walking their dogs, the architecture downtown...fabulous.
And the weather has been great.

@daveholman did you end up staying in Argentina? It seems like many expats have moved out of BA. Most of my friends have left.

Did you ever get sick there?

From McDonald's? Never. Its the least likely place you will get sick here

I have gotten extremely sick from one of those food by weight places, and also from one of those awful RES butchers that are all over the city like a cancer

That is what I like about McDonald's. It is consistent. Anywhere in the world I go it always tastes the same. Never got sick in a McDonald's anywhere in the world. It's my guilty pleasure that I wouldn't admit to any of my friends.

I rarely go to McDonald's but when I do, I don't tell my family. Sometimes a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.

I can't believe how expensive Starbucks is here. More than the US! I don't get how coffee here can be the same price as Manhattan?
