@@thelifestyledigs thanks! It’s amazing how much less expensive medication is outside USA!

@@DebM88 hello! I’m from NY and I completely understand what you mean! You can admire Central Park because it’s beautiful, but you’re always aware you’re in a big city. In Buenos Aires I felt like I was in a different place. You can escape from the city and feel so relaxed. So wonderful!!!

@@JenniferLelliott you’re very welcome!

@@ExploreTayo it was delicious!

@@DayInParadise it’s just stunning!!!

@@sikdermdfaruk7791 thanks so much! Yes this really is a beautiful city. 😁

@@ExploreTayo I agree! Loved the botanical garden. The Japanese Garden is wonderful for sure.

@@ngoziokereke3561 I’d suggest looking at the line T bus stops and basing yourself in one of the cities like Saint Paul or St Pierre en.reunion.fr/organize/holiday-tips/questions-answers/transport-on-the-island/

@@ngoziokereke3561 it also depends what you want to do, how long you’re there, and season. When it’s hot on Reunion, people stay in higher altitudes as it’s cooler. When it’s cooler, the lower altitudes are warmer. If you plan to hike or get to the cirques out can be a long trip.

Thank you so much. This helps!

Yes, apologies! A previous viewer pointed that out. I thought the English translation for Castellano is Catalan. My bad. 😱

@@heathermarkel 😘

I agree!

I spend a decent amount of time in Europe and, though I agree with you about the price for many things - transportation is still a HUGE bargain, comparatively. Most Ubers I took were under $3 and that was for a fairly long ride. Also, I easily found decent AirBnB apartments for $30/night - no way to do that in most European capital cities. And, a lot of lodging has definitely skyrocketed in price. But food and coffee, I agree, much more expensive.

Claro! Ahora lo sabe. 🙏😳 Thank you!!

Yes. It’s beautiful and so much to do!

I did now. That’s horrible.

@@heathermarkel yeah, the President slashed all public service funding, so it was just a matter of time.

Also - I find it intriguing that they can change something like that in 5 minutes, whereas in US it takes months or years of approval. So, interesting piece of culture to delve into...

@@heathermarkel yeah, well he's slowly becoming a bit of a dictator.

@@ExploreTayo For some reason, I initially thought he sounded like he was trying to make good changes. Now I don't understand anything. :(

Thank you! I’ve been told that a lot and appreciate your comment. I still need the wine to chill out my nerves. 🤣 An off duty pilot sat next to me when I was much younger and explained each and every noise and change in feeling of the flight. His help was invaluable in my travels. You guys are wonderful. Thank you for helping us see the world!

De donde sos gato?Te dedicás a criticar a todos los extranjeros que nos visitan?

@@greenbelly2008 no, te equivocas blatodeo, no critico a los que nos visitan, critico a los que nos critican o denigran. espero que tengas la capacidad de comprender,.

@@oscarvalle94 denigran???

@@greenbelly2008 si, si no sabes el significado, culpa a tus oligofrénicos padres.

I know! :( Miss you guys and hanging out there.

I wish I had known! The gate didn't beep for me, so I presumed it didn't work. :( But, I was so impressed - Argentina is the only country I've ever been to where I could use my subway card with a negative balance!! I understand you only get 2 rides like that, but that is amazing!

​@@heathermarkel actually...in Chicago (visiting) I was able to use my "ventra" card when my 7-day pass had already expired. Now when I go back and do another 7-day pass i like that it doesn't charge me extra for the negative balance. I think if I just loaded cash vs. specific pass, it would probably deduct it then.

@@gabrielort3531 interesting! I had never experienced this before. Nice to know there are other places that do this!

Yes! I mention that in my next video. And as a foreigner, I’ve tried to get some of the payment apps and couldn’t. We don’t have a DNI, I think that’s what it’s called?

@@heathermarkel yes, there should be a way though... I will ask

That would be great. Last time I tried to use Mercado Pago I couldn’t set up an account so had to do a complicated payment with a rapipago store.

@@heathermarkel I asked, it seems no way without an Argentinean id,( DNI). Rapipago u pay with credit card

Yup - same info I have. :( Thanks for checking! Very kind of you!

if it wasn’t clear, I started with a debit card that reimbursed me for all those high fees so I didn’t bring lots of dollars with me. I then lost that card. I almost used western Union but then a friend had extra USD so went to the cambio! So I got to try all the money methods out. 🤣

The honest answer is, it's complicated. Cash is preferred because they know they will get their money and don't have to wait. Dollars are acceptable as are pesos. The credit cards are not so great for them because of the fee they get charged, which is why they try to make some money off that - instead of charging 3-4% they will charge you at least 10% extra. They discount for payment in cash because it is preferred. When you use a card, they do make it a little tougher simply because they want cash. Does that help?

Most places in Buenos Aires accept debit/credit cards

Avec plaisir!

Thank you! I can't speak for others, but, I think it's one of those places you just have to understand has some crazy situations. Argentina is so wonderful, despite having to deal with these things. Honestly, the best thing to do is calculate the exchange rate you're getting on your credit card, vs ATM, vs bank, vs exchanging cash. I'd do that. In my case, I lost my debit card so ended up having to pay credit for most things. In the end, I found out the WORST rate was with my debit card and getting cash out. That's in Argentina, not the same everywhere. Sorry for delayed response - didn't see your comment until just now!

Yes!! It’s finally out and on Spotify too. When I posted this, the song was new and not yet uploaded. Thank you though!!! 🙏😁

Exactly! Did it take you some trial and error to figure that out? I used to spend every moment planning when I tried moving every 2-3 days. It was awful! I much prefer my current method.

Hi, thanks for your question! Here is what I would suggest - not knowing what the medication is, I will presume you need a prescription for it? If so, I have an expat insurance plan which, for emergencies, has been a method I could get a forgotten prescription filled within hours after speaking with a prescribing doctor on the phone. Failing that, you should be able to see a local doctor and request your prescription be filled one time. I've certainly seen local doctors in other countries and had prescriptions filled by local pharmacies. If you have a regular doctor wherever "home" is/was for you, consider giving them a call and asking advice as to whether maybe you can get the prescription filled back "home" and have someone mail it to you. Local doctors can be hard to get appointments with last minute, so you may have to go to an ER depending on the urgency of your prescription need. Hope that helps!

Yes! I’ve come to a point where I like a minimum of one month in a country and make sure I have plenty of days where I have no specific agenda. I found boredom really hard at the start of my travels and now I realize it’s just the beginning of me discovering “real life” in a new place.

@@heathermarkel Well said!

Omg really?! Hilarious lol. Glad you liked the information!

If you watched my video, you'll see that I did get to some of them, and the crowds weren't so bad! :)

Who said anything is wrong with it?

LOL happily you won’t find them everywhere. The beauty more than makes up for them!

You definitely do! Feel free to ask for tips if you need any.

@heathermarkel once we plan to go there, I definitely will!

​@@heathermarkelHello and good day to you. I've watched the videos on your channel. Your video is excellent, but it won't go viral. Have a look at your channel. But why? Think about it. Your channel won't go viral, and you won't gain many subscribers or views. The reason is: 1. Your video isn't being SEOed properly. SEO Score: 0 out of 100. 2. Your video isn't reaching the right people. 3. Not using video hashtags properly 4. Not sharing the video on social media sites. 5. Not enough ranking tags. 6. Video performance: 0 out of 50 7. Not a single tag, description, or title that is optimised for search engine optimisation. I have a lot planned for your channel.There are few more reasons that's why your videos are limited to your channel.In a word your video is awesome,such videos are in great demand.

❤️😁

🤣@@heathermarkel and the French hate it 🤣

Did you get to Dalwhinnie or Dewar’s? Man Scotland has great Scotch but gin is taking over! 😱

@heathermarkel I drove by Dewars but it was closed. The Speyside Whisky festival was on, so I hit up Glenlivet and Glenmorangie. Gin is taking over Ireland, too.

​@@heathermarkelhello , how are you?Can we talk about your TH-cam channel problems?😊
