Just like the bowl of pho, Japanese Ramen here isn't up to its standard - the noodle itself is wrong. Nigiri isn't bad, but each piece is relatively small compared to what they should be.

Just moved to Buenos Aires can you let me know what the best way is to find an apartment in Palermo

slow down the video please. Too much movement, hard to follow. Good contents though

First, don't rent in Palermo or Belgrano. The prices there are overinflated

To understand what Argentina is like, first of all, one thing is its capital, Buenos Aires, and another very different thing is the interior. Argentina is a very big country, it is number 8 in the world and also the culture in general exists because many European immigrants arrived in the last century and the Italian culture is still there, which is why the way of speaking, the gestures, the family, etc. .

You did an absolutely fantastic job with this video Sir! I’m not one to leave comments, but simply put…you crushed it. I received a lot of value from this content. Thank you.

Hey Expats! I had a quick question for you. I've been planning to go to Buenos Aires and stay there for half a year. But when digging around for apartments and rentals, it seems many ask me a lot of requisites, guarantees, even insurances. And I've been so confused about what to do, I saw that AirBnBs are kind of at a relatively good price per month in nice areas of the city, around 600 to 800 in rent, which would be within my budget. Do you think this is a good choice? where do you find places to stay if not?

2K is the way to go I would say. Everything above that will give you a very very comfortable life, although it depends on your living status (single, with kids etc) and your expectations.

Im coming for a month ind the middle of December cant waut to experience it and possibly move

$5-$10 for Uber. Big Mac is $7-8 dollars... Salad is $15-20. For people who want to squeeze every dollar. This is not your city. Living to take the bus/metro and scrapping for cheap groceries to cook, there are better countries out there. Unless the pesosusd is 1500-2000 pesos to 1 USD. 1000 pesos is equivalent to $1. And everything is $8-20 range. Unless you want to eat empanada for a dollar every single day. Might as well stay in the U.S with these prices. I spend roughly $30-50 a day.. mind you I order Rappi or go out to normal places to eat.. from choripans to hamburgers it's $6-19 US dollar. Steaks are $25-30... You can just throw a dart into any other south american country and live like a king or queen than in Buenos Aires. Unless you want to stay in most nornal apartments with a weak ceiling hearing peoples footsteps. Or look for a real modern apartment with some density between you and the neighbors above

Please provide masseuse info?

Sorry but this is unwatchable ... nervous csmera and bad audio

Coffee with sugar is called "torrado", different way to prepare the beans (usually low quality) as compared to "tostado" which always is without sugar added. "Torrado" is banned in all of the world except for 7 Latin American countries. Coffee shops are not that rare, coffee shops (most have a small restaurant attached) like the chain stores Tienda de Cafe, Martinez, Havanna, Bonafide, Starbucks, they all sell coffee and if you know to find them there are always a few small retailers, just like in the streets Uruguay/Perón where you may find decent offers, and increasingly important is Mercado Libre (online shopping) - but read the next update, too! Update: Life in Argentina is getting increasingly expensive for people who hold hard currency like dollars of euros; the "dólar blue" is now at 1100 pesos, down another 20% and a mere 10% above the "dolar oficial"; prices go with the dollar, since every producer or merchant can sell at home or abroad. If you are used to live in luxury with 1000 dollars a month, now it is 1500 and there is no luxury included. One kilogram of Café Tostado now is 30 dollars and up, compare that to the 6-7 dollars I am used to pay in Europe and what I used to pay one or two years ago in BA. Argentinians fare even worse, 60% are now officially poor, income too low to pay the basic food basket after rent, electricity, gas, ... are served. The big supermarkets are lined across the city borders, where the Provincia de Buenos Aires begins, and they are called hipermarché - but as stated correctly, the local small businessmen are quite cheap compared to specialty shop all over the world, they are struggling to survive in the harsh environment. Hugs ... the one hug may have been out of fashion after COVID - but if somebody gives two kisses he may come from a province, even three depending on where the people come from.

Sir, it it easy to open a bank account there ?

US health insurance actually DOES cover emergencies while outside united states, as required by law. Read your policy documents. Its usually pretty cheap to pay out of pocket for non-emergency care. Dont waste money on travel medical insurance.

If Buenos Aires it's getting expensive for digital nomads and 1st world tourists, I cannot imagine how locals and worker class are.

$50/mo for health insurance? I'm Argentinian and I'd love to pay that amount! Wife and I, both around our 60's, are paying $330 for both of us, but it's a good plan, I mean, I have ALS and they're covering in house hospitalization with UCI level mobile bed, patient crane, wheel chair, respiratory support, 24/365 caretakers, 5 sessions per week of kyne, 2 of occupational therapy, all the supplies and meds covered in full, after spending 5 months in UCI without any extra charge. I had this insurance for more than 20 years and hired it when healthy, as a prior no one would take me (but I had to file an injuction request for the court to order them to cover me in full this way). But then, you're a healthy guy and probabily $50 travel insurance covers your needs. A friend of mine from the US wants to retire here, her budget would be around $1500 and she's falling short due to health insurance cost, for someone with health issues that will require asistance and treatments. Dropping her insurance in the US would let her pay an insurance like mine here, although priors could make it more expensive, yet cheaper than what she's currently paying. Could you tell me what's covered by those $50/mo, and if you have an idea of other plans or local insurance companies' requirements? Thank you.

Did you make a video on how you manage the finances? As in move money from your home country to Argentina?

watching all these videos leaving the US seems absolutely impossible. I am an old woman I'd be living there alone. I don't speak Spanish. Oh no oh no. Do I have to stay here with Trump? He's going to kill us all.

Does it help with a visa stay if you already have a bank account in Mexico? How hard is it to open one from the states?omg what? 2 SIM cards? you have to switch them out?

what do you do if you have a lot of luggage because you're moving to Merida? Can the private cars pick up at the airport?

If you get an Argentina girlfriend ...... you save half your money , locals always know better

So bring crisp new $100 bills to Argentina and where should I go to exchange them?

Argentina is the only country in the world (Uruguay is 2nd in the list) where you can eat the best meat in the planet at an affordable price daily and buy it within walking distance from your home.

I spend about $3k USD a month for a basic western life. Nothing extreme. I could cut it to $2.5k but that's about as low as I could go.

Super helpful! Love all your videos. I lived in Argentina 87-89 and now planning to return to spend 3 mos, Jan-March 2025. I had no idea you could even buy dollars in Argentina with USDT until I watched your video. Every one of your suggestions is much appreciated. Could you please recommend some WhatsApp groups for USDT? Thanks!

Some expat video recommend paying the fine. So why you said you strongly discourage it

investment Buy Citizenship Program ?????

I've found the Google Maps link to the best Western Unions in your blog post but can't seem to get any list for the Belgrano area? Also I think I read somewhere else that sometimes the staff ask in Spanish if you would like to 'tip' them and if you don't understand the language very well (like me) they will deduct some money for this? Any information you can offer about these things would be great Thanks

Nice video but next time let your girlfriend do the talking.

Very professional and detailed video! May I ask based on your experience, how early should I arrive at terminal the latest? It’s recommended to arrive 2 hours early, but is 2 hours too much considering I have a tight schedule that day? Thank you!

Single expat in BA Palermo spend approx $1,000 p/mo, mostly cook for myself, do not party, clean my own home. Always have gym membership and occasionally go to theatre. Monthly expenses vary p/person but $1000 p/mo is definitely still very doable.

i think you are wrong..the dentist will not kiss you..we kiss friends and family..when the guys meet a women ..they will kiss her...but not will kiss a guy they just meet

This literally applies to the people of Buenos Aires, the other provinces have different customs, traditions and other things.

Informative video. If I send money to have X pesos to be picked up at one of the WU outlets, does the local outlet charge fee/commision on the amount to be collected? If so, approx what's the % or amount?

$50 USD a month for health insurance is a great deal - what provider do you use?

EXPATS?! 😂 more like IMMIGRATING!! If Mexicans moved to another country would they be called EXPATS?!

Great viedo. Two things that sounded odd. In Buenos Aires the average english level is very good, much better than in all of southern Europe with the exception of Portugal and second punctuality varies quite a bit about half of the people are very sharp on it the other half you can write them off.

Dude, LOL theres almost a coffeshop in every corner of Buenos Aires!

Hello! I love your content. I will be in Buenos Aires in early December. Could you share the name of the massage place? Thank you!

Una muy interesante descripción del choque cultural. Me causó gracia lo de las baldosas, he de destacar dos detalles, uno es el problema de las raíces de los árboles, literalmente rompen no solo las veredas/aceras, sino también las calles, y si no rompen los bloques de concreto los desnivelan, siguiendo en esta línea, los días de lluvia, tienes que tener dos mapas actualizados en mente, uno es el recorrido que debes hacer y el otro es dónde están los baches para evitarlos y no romper el tren delantero de tu vehículo, es como recorrer un campo minado; el segundo problema que hacía referencia, es la calidad del mortero para fijar las baldosas al piso, que no siempre está a la altura. Con respecto al grano de café, una característica que se introdujo a la Argentina es el grano torrado, que es el grano recubierto de caramelo y presenta un color negro, en lugar del tradicional marrón del grano tostado

Did you move from Buenos Aires?

How can this guy live there and still butcher Buenos Aires?

oh damn...dinner went from $4 to $6. My dinner in NYC is $100

You can do all of those thing for less than 1000 usd OUTSIDE Palermo
