    Of course, tourists not allowed to come in ; which kind of makes its easy for us locals.

    I believe key to success here is fluent Argentine Spanish, and ability to mix with locals and have local friends.. Then sky will be the limit.

    Things can be pretty cheap..but going to prostitute houses is NOT the way.
    I definitely agree .

    The key to having the best time possible is putting together a Little Black Book and to constantly update and recruit new additions that you can depend on to make sure that you have a great time all year round.

    That's what I have been doing for about 16 years now and I never have a dull moment!

    Stay Healthy.

The economy was fucked when he took over, Macri was a fool, then this idiot thought that the only logical response to a virus with a proven 99.74% recovery rate (don't bother arguing, I know it's a fact, you can find it by reading the CDC's web page) was to shut people in their homes for six months not allowing them to step foot outside except to go to the grocery store or pharmacy. It was great for all the state and patronage workers but now poverty is up 44% in a year, can you understand that figure? Poverty in Argentina has increased by 44% in one year?

    I have a kid, he's old now, but when he was young if he was hungry and I had no food nothing stops me from sticking a gun in your face and taking your shit to feed him, nothing.

    So yes, crime will be up, all the wonderful things BsAs was noted for, cafes great restaurants ect will be gone, 5 of the 40 cafe notables have closed in the last year.

    Pussy and rent will be cheap but pussy and rent are cheap in Colombia as well.

    It's been over a YEAR, the US is well on the way to herd immunity, people can get a PCR test in a day at CVS so somebody explain to me why tourists can't return?

    He's a fucking idiot and it will take a decade at least for the economy to recover.
    When will Colombia open up to touristas? I'll gladly spend my gringo dollars at the mansion (or whatever the f*ck it is called) with the chickas who have been teasing me with texts for years.

    Request for info about Argentina reopening

    If anyone living in Argentina comes across reliable information about when the country might reopen to tourists, could you please share it and post a link to your source? I'd like to plan my next visit as far in advance as possible.

    Thanks. GV.

    The latest?

    So, what's the latest on life in Bs As?

    The currency has continued to decline. I am assuming that should have some benefit to the dollar. However, I am sure everyone is inflating everything. Of course, the chica websites are becoming more and more denominated in dollars. How is that translating to prices on the 'street'*?

    Can you get out and about or is everyone still locked down with the Chinese Flu?

    What does a coffee and demi luna cost at La Biela these days?

    How about dinner at Parilla Pena?

    What does an hour cost with a great looking chica?

    What is happening with the pricing at the clubs?

    * I use that term euphemistically, I am not really interested in street walkers.

TBH i am not a monger, i will go with pros at the beginning through redhead or escort websites but i hope in the long term to have a long term relationship without marriage and kids. The only thing that worries me in BsAs is how can i have US $ or Euros there? Can i have a bank account in Euros or Us $?
    San Isidro is nice and access to the city is quite easy. I like the European feel of Bs As and am biased towards the Bs As chicas (white, European-looking blonds and brunettes). I think Sau Paulo is too big and congested for my tastes. Getting around Bs As is much easier. Keep all of your money denominated in Euros or USD and keep your accounts offshore and out of he reach of the Argentine govt (same goes for Brazil). Only convert into pesos what you need. You can also use your credit and debit cards in most places.

    Another type of popcorn

    Eat Maz pisingalo and watch Popcorn.

    Simply download, install it and watch all the movies you want.

    Peanuts

    Get a 2 Kilo sack of unshelled and unsalted Pignuts and you will be eating healthy , losing weight and saving chica cash .

    Pure protein , heart healthy and a super food with a boner as a bonus .

    $42.00 pesos ( $.50 cents a pound ) from a health food store.

    Corn has zero health benefits.

    Pignuts , addictive little fuckers.

    Reminds me of my stay at the Homeland Defense Hotel in Texas .

    5 months of nothing but peanut butter.

    No bread and no jelly . Just a Spork.

    Got ripped.

    Just a suggestion Mr. BBM.

    Avoid microwaved popcorn at least.

    Poisonous !
