Worst things about Buenos Aires besides dog poop?

[Avocado]

Good decision the humidity is making me miserable and it's only December. If you came here for the first time in January you would have no choice but to hate Buenos Aires and that would be a shame.

I think you are right. January is a very miserable month. The humidity is terrible! I always tell people not to come to my city in January. All leave January to escape this miserable weather.

I hate the bad drivers here. Both from buses and also motorcycles and cars. I just saw this news. Bad choices all around driving 3 people on a motorcycle with no helmets and with a baby.

I'm amazed by the stupidity I see here on a daily basis on the roads. They have such road rage too. Some of the worst I have seen. People honking and threatening one another too.

On the other side I guess if you aren't happy with your wife you can make her do this.

A simple trip to the supermarket is a horrible experience here. Crappy awful quality products, decent products that are here one week then disappear, enormous lines that barely move. Products without price tags which end up 3 times more expensive than you could imagine. A 50/50 chance the air conditioning will be on when it's 35c.

Scumbags who use the cashiers as their personal phone technician or internet banking assistant while 10 people wait in line.

In all my years of travel and life I never experienced an intense dread of going to the supermarket until I came to Argentina

Going to the supermarket definitely is not a joyful experience here.

I don't understand how the supermarkets are so terrible here. Maybe all these years of socialism has ruined things but it is unbelievable how bad they are. Anywhere else in Latin America is very good. I was just in Paraguay and night and day difference. I wonder if things will improve? I heard Carrefour wants the hell out of Argentina.

No one has ever been able to tell me why it is so bad. I think we will know when things really improve in Argentina once this situation changes.

Speaking of dog sh*t. They showed on the news that in Mar del Plata they are throwing dog sh*t at Milei.

I just don't get the attraction of Mar del Plata. Plus people are getting robbed right as they get to the beach.

Just from the buildings and landscape in that video it looks like a dump

Mar del Plata isn't a dump. It is a nice town. It is a relaxed vibe. It doesn't compare to the beaches in Brazil. Locals go because it is easy to get to and it is close.

I don't really like it. It has a lot of old high-rises so the skyline isn't great. Lots of concrete and poorly maintained. It's not worth going in the winter and in the summer it's too chaotic and busy.

Beaches are not great and the water is cold.
