I saw so many Russians in BA on my last trip to BA. It's not just LGBTQ crowd coming. I saw many pregnant Russian women near Alto Palermo shopping mall. Like dozens!

I always see many when I am in Palermo. Probably a great country for them to blend into. Until they speak they could blend in here. I read Argentina is processing as many as 25,000 applications at Migraciones from Russia which is huge if true.

I saw this online today and thought of you @Spend Thrift. I think I remember reading in one of your old posts you tried going to the Bosque de Palermo at night. Stay safe out there.

I didn't know this was a thing. Do transvestites hang out in the park at night? Had no clue of this. Glad I don't run at night!
